My point though is that the reason that Turing's machine had "issues" was because it was quite literally the first of its kind. Plot holes and misspelled words have nothing to do with the fact that a story is the first "video game pasta"  or "lost episode pasta." The rules of grammar and language have been established for a very long time. So what I'm saying is you should absolutely give some of these original pastas massive props for their originality and the way they helped push the culture forward, but you can still rip them apart for their execution.

Now, a counter argument would be that  ideas are what are important and the method they're presented is just fluff. That me saying JtK sucks because the package it comes in is the next best thing to roadkill from a narrative standpoint is like complaining about the color Turing decided to make his machine...that the spools clashed with the wires or something; that the only thing to be considered is the original idea, not the execution. If you (or anyone else, I'm not saying you do) feel this way, I will certainly admit that you can make the point, but I will respectfully disagree with you. Just because you have a good idea doesn't give you carte blanche to present it like ass and expect people to overlook the smell.
