I knew she was going to do a soul audit!

However...

Tat, only you know what you've done to believe you deserve this sort of regret. Based on your strips, I get the feeling that you've been working extra hard for a long time to atone for whatever you've done. I may or may not be right, but today's strip though has the undercurrent of 'the past caught up, the past can neither be forgotten or erased, nor can forgiveness be earned'.

You're still awesome in my book based on the few resistance posts you've written and your comics in general. In real life though, I concur with joandark, maybe seek some help, professional or not, a friend who is willing to listen, an old professor or lecturer you were friendly with, etc.

One thing. If (and I'm pretty sure you do) you do read the forums, know that such people will always exist and there's not much we can do about it. They are likely at the age where change is impossible to difficult to say the least. The best we can as adults is to ensure we educate the young.... (and yeah, looking at today's kids, it's pretty sick the way many of their minds work)

If atonement is what you seek, I point you to Himura Kenshin.

My best wishes go to you, Tat.

Uhh... yeah, Tat. Your webcomic was (and still is) called "SINFEST" for a reason, y'know.

Kinda too late to feel guilty about all that now, ain't it?

What's atonement for, when you sacrifice fun, then heap on the drama in exchange?

Should've just enjoyed them fame, fortune and fangirls, if you ask me.

Wait... wait... maybe this is just your sarcasm talking... Yeah, I'm just hoping it is...

It's dark today. Dark is good!

My actual only concern about how things have been going lately is that almost all the female characters are now enlightened and wise and strong and just nearly perfect. Only the boys get to be screwed up and flawed these days.

The pedestal is sexist, too. It's just as restricting. It's starting to make me itch. Let us be human!

(And the feminist underground? Not only are they superhuman, they're prepubescent so they get to be treated as asexual, which sidesteps a whole swath of issues with, you know, having to treat them as human. But, I'm patiently waiting to get through this didactic phase to what's next. 'Nique, for example, may have retired her maneating ways, but she's not prepubescent and she can't have given up boys for life. How will a more mature 'Nique handle her love life?)

Lol at some people. 'He's criticizing himself, he needs help!' Just because Tat is looking at his old art in a different light doesn't mean he's a wrist slicing emo.

I definitely agree with Vancore that I like how Tat isn't afraid to breach any kind of topic and I respect him for that. People are so eager to judge, there's no point in being afraid of it. Tat is bringing interesting topics to the table and we shouldn't be worried about him for bringing it up, but for our society for having these dark topics in the first place.

Its only natural for us to change over time, to grow. We get new perspectives and so can see ourselves in new light... like watching footage of us as toddlers, selfishly taking our brothers juice away from them... we can only but cringe.

With Tat, his 'footage' is up for all to see...

This period of self reflection is no more than artistic cringe. Its healthier than if he didn't have it, as if he didn't have the cringe, it would mean he hadn't grown.

What would be healthier still is if he came to accept its in the past.
as in"I accept i was a toddler when i stole that juice, but i've grown now." Ain't no shame in that.

Yeah, it's seriously hilarious watching people read into this that Tat is brimming with self-hatred, because he made his character a part of the story. This is the saddest example of people being clueless yet.

Just so we're all clear, me and Tat are boyfriend and boyfriend, and he's totally fine, he just writing and drawing comics about things he thinks of or feels like he's been doing all along, please fire your cries of 'you need a doctor!' out of your goopy dickholes.

Come on, Estranged, he needs professional help to accept his own sexuality? You need professional help to accept that you're an absolute fucking sperg.

Introspective, or self-flagellating?

Not masturbating.

Tat, I mean. Not me. Or me. OR TAT.

I'm leaving now.

Hmm. Guess that's where we're getting all the feminist/etc strips lately. You cannot escape the Devil! Ever!

Also, I laughed at that silly car in panel 3. I love how he still does his cars like that.

Also stop going to town over people's interpretations of the comic. Kthnxbai.
