wow, he quit the comic forever because he's tired of it so hard he actually came back!

I've met all of 2 types of people who use the "kiddies" method of denigrating their internet opposition, the very young, and the old, irrelevant, and terrified of it.

Gross, is this guy for real?

We really are digging up some winners, aren't we?

Oh oh! I have the perfect comic for this.

Its pretty hilarious, because they just keep showing up, spouting horrible shit and then looking around like "MIRITE? MIRITE!?!?!" and expecting everyone to go "YA UR RITE!!"

But that's not really what's happening here.

My thread got hijacked from a simple answer of yes or no on whether they liked the feminist storyline being portrayed in the comic and turned into an argument and contest of name throwing.

Please bring your discussion some where else.

Seems to me, this is the perfect thread for such a discussion. You should've thought of the consequences before posting this poll, Delakando.

This thread has, like so many, descended into abuse and counter-abuse. Taunts and name-calling. In a [probably futile] attempt to return to the original topic, I'm going to refer to "Sinfest: Viva La Resistance" introduction - by Erika Moen.

She wrote how the character of Monique - a "confident self-possessed sexpot" was a revelation. At home, she was getting negative impressions about sex, and "getting misdirected slut accusations from my mother".
She made a fan shirt, sent a picture to Tatsuya, and was astounded too get a reply. Sinfest made her feel good when she needed it, and she fondly remembers the validation.

So I wonder: Erika Moen, how do you feel now?

Monique's sexuality went into decline, when she realised she was sending men to Hell. Then we met Glossie, and the whole Patriarchy theme started.
Maybe the little fan character is Tatsuya's version of Erika. Maybe Tat feels guilty about about the message she got from Monique. But ever since the change, it seems like she has a lot less to say. Here character, once so vibrant, dominant, and carefree, has been sidelined to the point where I wonder - would young girls still make a fan shirt of her?

Matriarchy, Patriarchy, nonsense and noise. Just end this already. Some character reactions, some "Is that right? I don't think that's right. Time to burn bras." or "If I can't get laid doesn't that mean that I'm a failure as a man? Well screw that." is to be expected from time to time. But this lengthy passive-aggressive whining about the 'gender conflict' has gone on too long. And Miss McMatrix BigWheel just has to vanish for a long time. She's a killjoy, not a punchline, not a message. I don't like crude humor-attempts, but this attempt at 'a dignified higher road full of questions' is getting empty of anything other then beautiful art. All shell, no meat, no ocean.
