Whetstone is a user typically known for his elaborate slideshow YTMNDs that involve religion/Christianity. His views on Christianity have been said to split the community. Some side with him because of their own views, the quality of the work, or other reasons. Others downvote his works (whether Christian or not), sometimes producing anti-Christian YTMNDs in response. Many users have considered his arguments to be full of flaws and circular logic. He is also lambasted for his odd use of drama and fear tactics. (see "Cries of the Infidels")
His YTMND "Why God Exists" caused such a disruption that Max himself commented on a page, featuring a picture of George Zimmer with a large penis.
Whetstone is also credited for quality, neutral creations such as YTMND Nexus 2.0 and Tenacious D: MIND BULLETS!, and is in addition a balanced voter (That is, having a balanced amount of upvotes, downvotes, and neutral votes).
Recent attacks on Whetstone have included:
- Vandalism of his comments (presumably by Max). A picture of a Catholic church signboard that says "Too much Jesus, not enough cock" was added to the comment code. Peterguy and GendoIkari were also vandalized in the same manner. These images have been taken down since the September YTMND update.
- A petition to have him banned. [1] The community seemed split on the issue with many citing freedom of speech as a reason Whetstone should continue as a YTMND user.
- Frequent groundless accusations of self-sponsorship.
- Attempts to change the way YTMND sponsorship works to get his work off of the front page. [2]
- Fad remakes. [3]
- Uniform downvoting of all of his YTMNDs regardless of content or quality.
