Dumbing of Age

>>83239231
The days of "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" are done. It todays world, thanks to the internet making everyone introverts, saying mean things is tantamount to punching someone in the face then slapping their mom.

>>83239231
I like Mary. How do I find just the ones where she's involved?

If I hadn't seen the shit his commenters say I would wonder how he hasn't realised that Carla isn't the hero of this story arc.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS COMIC ABOUT? WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE BAD GUY? IS THERE ANY CHANCE OF A SYNOPSIS

>>83239735
The bowling ball being released makes no sense. It looks like pulling the door open pulled the thing holding it up away. But looking at it, there's really no way it could've ever held it up. The weight is way to far away from that level, essentially, that lever looks none to solid. I think the lever might even be pulley, which makes it even worse.

The balloon will be blown onto the ring stand(?) and popped, then something will roll down the incline?
End result looks like it'll be some sort of flame thing, maybe spelling "bitch" or something.

If the next 3 comics were Mary and Carla staring at that trap fail before Carla stomps off, it would be the funniest thing that Willis ever done.

>>83240405
Hahaha, Willis sure does hate people asking questions or in anyway critique his work. Every time I've gotten banned was because I said Willy didn't know what he was talking about. Like how Amber could stab someone in police custody and receive no punishment was ludicrous.

>>83240982
You know, Mary lives with Roz.
What if Roz opened the door?

Also it's still funny to me how Roz was supposed to be "the evil one" back in Shortpacked, because he was a slut that looks like an old lady.

Analysis of not the comic at all actually. Mary may be bigoted, but she wasn't actually impinging on Carla's right to do anything, so this is not analogous or similar at all. Unless Cerberus really thinks that trying to use the washroom of the gender you identify as is similar to breaking the rules by skating near someone's room and being a dick when they ask you to go anywhere else.

It's a simple case of figuring out how many micro-aggressions to endure before a person can cash them in for a macro-aggression.

The exchange rate can fluctuate, so knowing how many rude comments and drawings equate to hitting someone with a chair or summoning a SWAT team is important.

So once again this loops back to Willis, His Life Experience, and of course His Mom.

>>83243891
Is it weird that I assume now when an artist draws a women in a hijab that that charter is gay? It just seems like a thing SJW artists do now to make their comic diverse.

>>83243891
Ironically, if she *is* a devout Muslim, she'd probably be even less accepting of Carla than Mary is.

Of course... Willis would never portray a member of The Religion of Peace in such a manner.

>>83239231
So the tranny is going to get Mary back by showing her that she was right about the tranny being a complete shit and harassing her?

Unless this is the most complicated penis cutting machine I've ever seen, this is just silly.

>>83243736
>it's ultimately all about Willis dealing with his religious suburban angst.
So just like every comic he's ever written.

>>83244068
Or for bonus irony, Carla can complain to Asma that she doesn't know what it's like for being So Oppressed for just being who she is. And then Asma just looks at her.

Why did Toedad bring a gun to school? At this point I'm really over thinking it.

Why didn't he call the police when she ran away.

After finding out where she ran away to, why was his first thought to bring a gun. Why not talk to the school "hey my daughter ran away, I think she is stay illegally at your school." You can replay that scene, he still could have taken Becky away. The gun is literally the only reason he us going to jail. Dina attacked him, amazi-girl jumped on his car and caused the accident.

It would've been way smarter to just limit Becky's options to compel her to try and go home, but she's 18 so the police couldn't force her to go with Ross.

Is this how liberals see gun owners?

>>83245916
as a liberal gun owner, yes

>>83245945
But teaching your kids about the danger of guns and how to safely use them is perhaps the most responsible thing any gun owner can do.

>>83245988

Anon please, kids can't be trusted to learn anything important until they're at least 26, they need to be sheltered from the world as much as possible.

>>83246199
Comparing illegal immigrants to Superman is totally shitty and hacky and horrible for a political argument.

>>83246206
What thing? Guns? If you have a gun in your house then you need to teach your children about the danger and proper use of guns. You shouldn't let your kids learn about guns from action movies.

I know you're being sarcastic, but I agree somewhat on the part that kids can't be trusted to learn things. I'm not saying shelter them from the whole fucking world, but I know kids and kids are very selective in what they will actually bother remembering. And if there is one thing I've learned working with kids is they always assume they know more than they do.

>>83247211

Steps need to be taken to limit the amount of drunk assholes on the road just as steps need to be taken to limiting a retard's ability to procure a firearm. A truly responsible gun owner would not be burdened by increased safety measures.

>>83245988
or perhaps, teach them how dangerous guns are without actually letting them touching it. it's much more responsible.

>>83246454
Good for you. In case some people are that retarded, it's better not to have those guns at all, as it's the responsible thing to do.

>Do we blame cars or portray car owners as retards? Of course not.

I honestly don't know. Most proposed legislature seems either too extreme or too lax. The debate has no foreseeable conclusion. And once it's exhausted, idiots will just find other ways of killing themselves.

Jesus fucking christ. I'm pretty sure at this point Mary could legit get Carla kicked out by saying "help, my dorm mate is a dangerously unstable lunatic who is planning to physically harm to me"

>>83247519
not that guy, but how about the same restrictions on a car?
so, 16, you need a basic written test to prove you aren't a moron, and mandatory insurance, so if you do shoot someone or something you shouldn't have, it's paid for?
and trade for this is full legal open carry, just like you are allowed to have your car in public.

According to CDC statistics published by groups like MADD - about 4700 people a year.


>Now look at school shootings in the United States and tell me that it's not an issue.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States

Since the Columbine shooting in '99 there have been 238 people killed and 328 people injured in school shootings in the United States. That's an average of 14 people a year in a country with a population of 310 million.


But please, tell us all about the "epidemic" of school shootings.

>>83247981
How'd you get your post through moderation?

>>83248074
I think the difference is that a gun's express purpose is to kill something, while a car's is to, like, get you places.

>>83247647
The problem with gun control debates is that they focus of "assault weapons" when most gun crime is committed by hand guns. Also the people making the arguments for gun control don't know anything about guns and go off how scary the gun looks and uses phrases like "military style" "fully automatic/semi automatic" incorrectly so people don't even know what is being banned or restricted in proposed legislation.

>>83247685
I do believe their are restrictions in place to make sure you know a bit about gun safety. I I don't know what kind of insurance policy you would need to own a gun that can be comparative to that of a car, since cars are used for transportation and guns are solely used to cause destruction

Dangerous freedom is better than safe prison.

Which, is where it ends up. Norway has arrested and fined a woman for pepperspraying someone trying to rape her.

The UK bans knives as well as guns. Infact, having anything onhand for the purpose of self-defense is seen as the same as having it for the purpose of planning to attack someone unprovoked.

That's the problem with the entire concept of fallacies.

They aren't an "I win" card. It has happened, so saying it might happen again is no more a slippery slope than saying turning on the tap will lead to a higher water bill.

>>83251100
They aren't a "I win" card, they are an "You lose" card. All they do is evidence how the opposing argument is bullshit, while saying nothing about the opposite.

In fact I'm not advocating neither pro or against gun control. I'm just pointing out how the arguments presented are bullshit.

If you say that gun control leads to people being arrested for self defense then another can say that no gun control lead to America being the only civilized nation where school shootings happens regularly.

The error is that "it can happen" is different from "it will happen", even more when there are lots of examples where it didn't happen.

>>83251100
>>83251354

Invoking a formalist fallacy is a non-argument. Especially when counterexamples exist that go ignored.

I remember a couple years ago when everyone online and in the media started jumping on the tranny train. Anyone who displayed any hesitancy about the idea of treating a recognized mental illness like gender dysphoria as something normal or even as something to be encouraged was slammed with a bigotry label. And anyone who dared utter sentiments to the likes of "I don't know, don't you worry that if we start treating this as normal, pretty soon people will be demanding we treat pedophilia or bestiality as normal" were buried in an avalanche of "SLIPPERY SLOPE"s

>>83250032

>Most gun deaths, like pool deaths, are accidental.

It seems like the best thing to do then for a country like the United States where guns have been and will likely always be ubiquitous would be to enforce mandatory gun safety courses for all citizens. Wouldn't require them to actually use a firearm, just to learn how they work, how they should be stored, precautions, definitions of terms, and so on. Dispelling the ignorance many people in that country possess regarding firearms through comprehensive education would likely go a long way towards preventing accidents and diminishing the illogical fears the unlearned have regarding them.

>>83251354
>The error is that "it can happen" is different from "it will happen"

>Yes but if the thing your discussing happening is something that fundamentally changes your country and your life for the worse, a "can" is just as bad as a "will".

First of all, a lot of people won't agree with the fact that it's changing your country and life for the worse. They are idiots? Maybe, but it still means that its a subjective thing.

Second, it's literally the same argument of obamacare leading to America being the new USSR. Considering a possibility as a certainty only because it's bad it lead to never changing anything because everything has a chance to go wrong. It stops any possibility of betterment and freeze society in its tracks.

>>83251388
Dressing as a woman isn't illegal, raping a baby it is. There is a little difference with the two things.

>"I don't know, don't you worry that if we start treating this as normal, pretty soon people will be demanding we treat pedophilia or bestiality as normal"

This is not slippery slope. Slippery slope is "I don't know, don't you worry that if we start treating this as normal, pretty soon raping a baby will be no longer against the law?"

>>83251354
No, it's admitting your own defeat.

Throwing out a claim of fallacy is such a simplistic form of argumentation, that it admits to the fact that you have no counter argument.

This is why it's the favorite tactic of fledgling psudo-intellectuals and SJWs.

>"Ah, you are invoking slippery slope fallacy! Clearly you are doing that only because you have no answer!"

If an argument is bullshit is bullshit, no matter in what way you point out the smell. But as I said just pointing out the smell doesn't make your argument not bullshit. A Fallacy is a rebuttal, but you still need a counterargument.

Depending on the rubric you set for success, China is either a backwards shithole of corruption and misery, or the most successful nation-state in the world.
"better" is a function of priorities. We know where your priorities lie, but those priorities are not universal to the human condition, and are not axiomatic.

>>83252024
Isn't the article about a pedophile saying that while he understand that raping babies is morally wrong he can't help to be attracted to them so he needs psychiatric care instead of being demonized?

It doesn't seem to me that he's asking to being allowed to rape babies.

>>83251832
>Dressing as a woman isn't illegal, raping a baby it is.
You're underexaggerating one and overexaggerating the other.

A person suffering from gender dysphoria isn't just dressing in drag, they're mentally compelled to undergo radical pharmaceutical and even surgical alternations. Likewise just because someone hasn't raped a baby doesn't mean they're not still a pedophile.


People had legitimate concerns that if you started treating a disorder like GD as "normal" and even went as far as passing hate speech laws that make it discrimination not to reinforce the delusions of their disorder, that naturally people suffering from other disorders or engaging in deviant behaviors would start doing the same. And while these people were dismissed with the slippery slope fallacy, in the years since the whole "gender identity movement" started building momentum, you've seen just that happen.

People have started pushing for pedophilia to be recognized as a "normal" attraction. People suffering from Body Integrity Identity Disorder have started demanding that doctors perform amputations and other surgeries on them on the basis that if Sexual Reassignment Surgery is "normal", then "voluntary disabling" should be seen as "normal" too.

>>83244068
Depends. In Shi'a Islam being trans is fine as long as you get reassignment surgery promptly and aren't gay. A dude can choose to become a woman, but then he's expected to behave like a proper Islamic woman in all regards.
Iran actually has a huge number of sexual reassignment surgeons.

>>83252288
What is normal is defined by society. As technology can allow for more seamless gender reassignments, it is to be expected that society will accommodate by no longer recognizing GD as a mental illness.

If you're going to make shit up, the least you could do is make it realistic.
That argument isn't particularly well thought out. There are three obvious rebuttals here.
1) You only pulled out a sheet of paper talking about MASS shooting deaths. That's misleading as fuck. People want stricter gun laws for more than just mass shootings.
2)The fact that you decided to make it from "since the 50s" is also misleading considering the idea of mass shootings is a relatively new phenomena. I imagine everyone listed on the mass shooting list happened after the late 90s.
3) Guns are explicitly designed to kill and harm others. Pools are not.
tl;dr "AND NO ONE COULD REPLY BECAUSE MY ARGUMENT WAS JUST SO FLAWLESS" stories are retarded.

Trying to get society to tolerate trannies seems odd to me since the entire reason they mutilate themselves is to fit into the gender roles society taught them. Their entire mental condition is defined by conformity, not activism. If they wanted to change the world then they wouldn't have become trannies.

>>83254438
I... don't think that would work. The moving contraption springing upwards would push the box downwards. And it's moving backwards towards Mary, meaning it's creating torque forwards.

This comic as a whole is so preposterous. What is Mary's motivation right now? Why hasn't she already gone to the administration to bust the shitty RA and catch Carla in the middle of her shenanigans. She literally has used her power over Ruth to do jack shit that she wasn't doing before, all while seemingly fearing for her safety. How can she be simultaneously aware of everything going on in her wing of the dorm, but so fucking impotent to actually do anything. There's no teeth to any of her "villainy", even Carla got over her "men's dorm" comment in the space of an hour. Why am I supposed to feel good about "Mary getting her comeuppance" when she's already been treated as a joke by the people she's supposed to be oppressing? If it's just because she has a shitty attitude and ideology, that's not enough. The bad guy has to also actually have a position of power for it to feel good when the hero bests them. That's basic writing.

And if we're really supposed to believe that Mary has all this power and everyone is just ignoring it because they can't stand her that much, then there has to be real fucking consequences when she uses that power to do whatever. Which so far seems like making Ruth lose her job and replacing her with another RA that will probably do a better job. Even the stakes on that are boring as hell.

You know, you are missing the basic and obvious difference.

A guy cutting off is own dick is only damaging to themselves.

A pedophile acting upon his attraction is not damaging himself, he's damaging others before all, and others from a particulary vulnerable cathegory.

It's the same difference between a suicidal person and a serial killer.

If you seriously think that the fact that people are becoming allowed to do what they want with their bodies in new ways means that soon murder and rape will be legalized you are an idiot.

Suppose you're a responsible driver. You've never had an accident, hell you've never had a ticket. You drive the speed limit, you always use your turn signals, you always check your blind spots before changing lanes, etc. You are a law-abiding, responsible driver.

One day, some nutjob steals a tricked out car, flies down the expressway at 100 mph, and flies off the road into a restaurant, killing two dozen people.

In response, your state's officials decide to impose some new laws.

The speed limit on the expressway is dropped from 50 mph to 20 mph. A three day waiting period is imposed on the purchase of fuel or car fluids. Racing cars, and even ordinary cars sporting 'racing accessories' like spoilers or fancy rims are now prohibited under the ban on "Assault Cars". And families owning more than one car are put on a list of "High Risk Car Owners" whose homes the DMV is now allowed to randomly search for illegal car accessories. The government tells the public that these measures are for public safety, and that law-abiding drivers have absolutely nothing to worry about.

"But these are all major inconveniences," you say to yourself, "many are a huge breach of my privacy and consumer rights, and of course these new laws do absolutely nothing to prevent another nutjob from going out, stealing a car, and plowing into a pedestrian mall or a school."


But be careful - if you point any of those obvious facts out, everyone will accuse you of being an unreasonable "Car Nut".

>>83258065
Who said anything about rape, anon?

You're being so unreasonable. We're not talking about pedophiles ACTING on their compulsions... no, they're just going to take photos of kids in public spaces and go home and have a nice wank. They're just expressing their perfectly natural feelings.

And if they apply for a job teaching at your kid's school... well I mean it's not like they're really hurting anyone.

And if one day your daughter should come home in tears saying someone at school had done things to her private place. What?? You think it's that nice pedosexual teacher at the school!? I'm surprised at you anon! You're so intolerant of others! Just because your daughter was sexually abused is no reason to go around making baseless accusations! It's so like you bigoted pedophobes to go around harassing innocent transpedosexual persons.

Why don't you check your own privilege before accusing someone of being a "freak" or a "pervert"! In fact I've recommended that you and your daughter attend a special pedo-sensitivity training session this week.

>>83259307
This is quite possibly the most paranoid, nonsensical rant I have ever seen.

And it still comes down to [something happens] = [MULTIPLE UNRELATED THINGS THEREFORE HAPPEN AND KEEP HAPPENING AND AAA THEY GET WORSE].

I mean, do you have any hard data that allowing people to do what they want with their own bodies would make people more comfortable with pedophiles? Their problem has nothing to do with their own body after all. Even if it did, who says that understanding them would mean accepting them? Who says it wouldn't just lead to people just getting them help with their brain problems?

You're taking two unrelated things and mashing them together, and just going "SEE!? IF THIS HAPPENS, THAT WILL HAPPEN!" Well, if you say so, nigga. But if you want to make wild baseless claims, then anyone can, in any direction, and they're just as valid as yours.

>>83255925
>This is not a new phenomena.
No but in what we try to consider civilized societies mass killings are generally frowned upon, and when said mass killings are made easier by easy access to firearms then.

Nobody's arguing that nobody has ever killed anyone en masse before. They're saying that the phenomenon of students going to their schools and liberating so many people from their fleshly shells is something of a new experience, and is considerably worrisome as academia is meant to be a controlled environment where you can experience and absorb new knowledge and ideas. "Have you ever considered a bullet to the brain?" is not one of those ideas. Academia is meant to be a trigger warning "safe space" in the purely physical. Ideas cannot hurt you. Any devices or objects that could easily hurt you are kept under supervision and trained to avoid needless injury.

And then some kid brings a gun to school and ventilates the student body. I'm not saying guns are the problem, though, but it's easy to see why they might be.

How low the casualties are in comparison to the overall population means nothing. If you were going to be mugged and stabbed to death, one would hope a person's response shouldn't be "Nah he's just one person whatever". I don't think guns are the issue so much as whatever the fuck is going on in academia that prompts people to buckshot the knitting club. What the fuck goes on in academia that makes these shootings occur and why has it substantially only been a recent development, is where I would investigate matters if I actually gave a wet fuck.

Yeah... owning a car isn't a constitutional right.


Look, you guys act like the kinds of measures I suggested for cars are so far fetched and unreasonable that no law maker would ever suggest similar laws for guns. But they already have or are.

New York tried to pass a law earlier this year that would have made it illegal to purchase more than twice a weapon's capacity worth of ammunition within a three month period.

Florida a couple years ago tried to pass a law that would have imposed waiting periods and background checks on purchasing ammunition.

Connecticut recently proposed a law that would have required the state to print a publicly available record of all the names and home addresses of gun owners in the state.

Washington state officials a year ago tried to pass a law limiting the size of magazines for legal semi-automatic pistols and shotguns, which included a caveat allowing police to randomly search homes of registered gun owners to make sure they were complying with the new law.


Every time a major new gun control law comes out and gun owners rant about it, the pro-control crowd comes out and whines about how fucking unreasonable all those "crazy gun nuts" are being. And then another comes out. And another. And another. Each adding more and more layers of inconvenience and restriction on law abiding citizens and infringing on their constitutional rights.

Oh shit he's onto us

>>83262907
Is it us for sure, or does he just assume everyone who doesn't agree with him is from 4chan?

Yes, and yes.

Dunno but he wants us to stop asking this question.

>>83262970
4chan hates Tumblr. Willis is an SJW so if somebody disagree with him it's 4chan and they get banned.

>>83263084
Haha so his own personal comment section isn't a safe enough space and he has to seek validation on twitter?

>>83260548
>draws dicks on everybody's doors

That was sexually repressed blue eyed christian, Carla was angry until she found out it was on everyone's door.

>>83250128
He's done that a few times, usually when he realizes that not everyone will see things the way he wants them too. At first he would delete and ban people who side with Mary, but when to many people did that he just shut off comments.

>>83263084
Man he spends way to much time flipping out on twitter and calling people ignorant.

I guess it's good to know that Willy is so then skinned you can easily set him off.

>>83263211
All webcomic artists secretly despise their fans. I remember the IW! fandom back when the comment section was a forum and on IRC we'd constantly insult the "filthy boardies", like we were so much better than them or something.

>>83263672
If you portray someone saying something in your story, or let somebody post something on your website, you're basically saying you agree with everything they say. The use/mention distinction was too confusing so we got rid of it.

>>83253535
Your falseflagging is cringe worthy.

>>83254438

most of the commenters in the regular page predicted the outcoming.

>>83251421

That actually the way it is done in Switzerland, and why they have one of the smallest full-time army of the entire world, but don't expect them not to fight for their land tho. There are reasons why nobody managed to capture the damn place while being in the midst of a continent filled with constant wars for ages.

>Tfw a close family members was talking of them and how they were an exemple for the world since they didn't had a huge army

Sjw are so ignorant of how the world truly work, the irony is palpable.

>>83240368
No, Anon. Carla is based off of Ultracar, a hyper-intelligent AI in the body of a flying car. She's bound to be a perfect engineer, constructing this device over the course of weeks.

A gun express purpose is being a tube of metal with an explosive inside as to propel a projectile in the direction where the tube in question is pointing. Everything else, and I mean it, is entirely contextual. It can be used to kill anything just as much as it can be used in a class room to teaches about firearms. You cannot solve this ''problem'' by banning them, since all it would do is make the access to firearm harder for law abiding citizen ( since they would follow the law from which said ban would entail) while making the life of criminal ever easier since they'd know for fact they are far less likely to get a bullet to the forehead when doing home invasions, holdups and the likes. Else you get a sliperry slope clusterfuck like modern britain, where things as mundane as knifes or utensils require to be 18+ year old to buy, even the flimsy plastic ones, as if it would prevent the lowly street scum from just shivving you with some grinded metal spike.

It just doesn't work, so might as well just teach peoples how to PROPERLY use firearm instead.

>>83265200
Oh, that's right. In universe time moves as slowly as a retard at a spelling bee.

>>83265015
yeah, because the guy that created the first gun was totally "wow, gonna use it to shoot trees"

>>83265355
Who the fuck said anything about that?

A quote from Cerb on today's strip:

"I can assure you that the weight of being the better person is swallowing a lot of bullshit on a daily basis and enjoying the fine PTSD aftermath where you start to genuinely believe you deserve all the abuse and you are worth less than cis folk."

Forgiveness is pointless. Revenge is everything. I'm going to burn the world down for making me hurt.

Yeah, THAT'S emotionally healthy.

>>83265450
But being emotionally unstable is the new cool thing, anon! It shows how unique and special they are

>>83249209
I think the difference to a pool is that no one is actually killing you. That is kind of relevant. I mean, if you die by your own stupidity, or by something that could easily be avoided, it's different than getting murdered by a guy out of nowhere.

>>83254438
>mary didn't just close the door and call campus security
Why

>>83265450
Leave Cerb alone. You'll never understand what she's gone through.

Neither will Willis, but that's neither here nor there.

>I mean, if you die by your own stupidity, or by something that could easily be avoided, it's different than getting murdered by a guy out of nowhere.
If only there was some kind of convenient, easy-to-use, handheld self-defense device that people could carry around for use in an emergency.

I mean, wow, that sounds so amazing everyone would want them, civilians, police... you might even consider making it a right to own one!

>>83265355

Actually, black powder has been used for millennia in mining operations like quarries but was seldom used due to its reactivity, complexity of containment (has to be kept very dry at all time else it loose much of its power, kind of hard to do back then when the best waterproof material they had to make pot was dirt and the like) and the manipulation. Chance are that one day, some Chinese general or military advisor walked by a quarry where they used black powder, saw stones being flown far into the sky and told himself " Damn, that would be effective as hell against the enemies fortification!" thus giving birth to the first "firearm", the mortar, which is pretty much a bucket of metal with the bottom covered in blackpowder, with a small tube built in its side to allow the ignition of the black powder from a relatively safe place.

Everything else that happened afterward in the development of cannons, firearm and afterward artillery was mostly improvement upon specific details or concept that simply weren't taken into consideration when they first made them. Nearly everything that define modern weapons are mostly technical stuff that changes very little to the nature of the weapon and are there more for convenience than being a requirment, like automatic reloading system, reload able magazines and etc

>>83266424

Carrying around an ugly little ball full of hatred and resentment and thoughts of revenge inside you doesn't help anyone. I understand THAT, if nothing else.

Yes, it's hard, yes, it sucks, yes, it's not fair - but after a certain point you have to stop thinking about retribution and move on with your life. Because THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO BE A GOOD PERSON. Revenge solves NOTHING.

>>83266484
>you might even consider making it mandatory to own them

>>83266484
>If only there was some kind of convenient, easy-to-use, handheld self-defense device that people could carry around for use in an emergency.
if someone wants to kill you, he will just take his gun and shoot before you can do anything. Most cases of people 'defending themselves' the crimminal had no intention to kill.

>>83253024
>Thankfully, the age of consent is rising in our modern age.

That isn't thankful at all

Nothing is allowed to have serious consequences given the decompressed timeline something something. If no deaths then probably no expulsions either.

>>83267306
That looks like some sort of fire/safety hazard. All that just to get back at someone? Aren't they supposed to be adults?

>>83267536
Laugh because the most privileged white character in the strip is trans, and its ironic how the tumblr fags are rallying behind her.

Being an adult means getting back at someone.

Someone needs to point out that Willis just compared getting pied in the face the same as someone saying something bigoted and transphobic.

>>83267306
... This entire storyline is retarded.

>>83267601
Adulthood is a myth.

>>83267654
That's the thing that irks me the most. Aside from being Trans, Carla more privileged than most of the other characters.
She's rich, her parents love her, they pay for her own room(it's not because she's trans), she's tall, she has no missing limbs, she passes, and she has the authority on her side.
What the fuck is there to feel sorry for?

>>83266958
>Most cases of people 'defending themselves' the crimminal had no intention to kill.

Any criminal is going to say that they had no intention to kill, they have a vested interest in not being charged with a more serious crime.

>>83267756
Most MtF trannies I've met who don't have a lot of money are fat and ugly as sin, and fighting the facial hair on a daily basis if they so much as think about missing a hormone pill.

Carla is probably hotter than a natural 5 or 6 thanks to surgery and tons of money, yet we're supposed to feel bad for her cause Mary said "go to the boys dorm" She didn't even call her a science experiment.

>>83267668

She has the option to be a bigger person and she's not taking it because she's been severely wronged by the world and that apparently gives her the right to say and do whatever the fuck she feels like.

And there's an entire GENERATION of people out there who think like this. "No bad tactics, only bad targets" - if you've SUFFERED, than anything you do is morally right. No exceptions.

I don't want to think about what's going to happen when all of this comes crashing down.

>>83267877
To be fair, most of these people are extremely anti-2A. So they don't actually do anything except talk shit at the police and get tazed.

>>83266424
If Willis wasn't so busy with bitching on twitter and raising twins, I'd think that Cerebrus was him doing deep cover damage control as an 'oppressed' class.

>>83268001

Any one of us posting on this board for any reason makes us a legitimate target to people like them.

What do you think they're going to do to people like us if they lose control?

>>83267877
>when all of this comes crashing down
Who's to say it will? I think this is the new normal.

>>83268112

You can't sustain anger and resentment like that forever. You either lash out or move past it. Which one do you think THEY'RE going to do?

>>83268112

It's not, though. Every generation rebels. Soon the next wave of kids will be more conservative then their parents.

The problem here is the severe tonal whiplash. Somehow this went from Mary misgendering Carla to her getting a pie in the face. That's like holding a gun to a person's head and then saying "I got your nose!".

It also doesn't help that we're coming to this storyline just after Becky The Lesbian™ revisiting her past homelife, including the attempted(?) suicide of her mother. Again, there is a tonal whiplash here that makes everything unbelievable, not to mention how Mary is being painted as an illogical villain character for the sake of putting Carla on higher ground.

You know how Becky is a wacky lesbian?
Carla may as well be a wacky transsexual.
They both get off scot free from their transgressions because they're wacky redheads who flip the bird and grin.

>>83265999
I feel like Willis is Mary more and more irrational, and I think it's to retroactively make her mostly proportionately escalated response to Carla's annoyance earlier seem less rational along with her.

I saw it happen in a little after the "boys' dorm" strip. Someone mentioned that skating on a floor inside can be really friggin' loud, so Mary was understandably miffed by it. Willis was quick to respond that Carla was skating on carpet not floor. Now, Willis loves being anal about stuff that doesn't matter, and loves being right in public, so part of it was definitely that, but part of that was him downplaying the actual noise that Carla was making. The problem with that is, when Mary looks up from her book, there is large onomatopoeia of skating noises around her head, showing that it clearly was disturbing her. I think the font size is the same when Carla later stomps in front of Mary's door, and they have trouble hearing each other over the din. So, the actual strip Willis made disagrees with what he thought he was making.


>>83267306
Case in point, Mary looks incredibly deranged over a pie prank, when she was very measured before. Even when she was calling Ruth a cunt, she had control of herself. Now she has no control, and she's compeletly irrational. Which is really pointless when she's supposed to be a villain because she's observant and vindictive, not flying off the handle. That would only work if she was physically violent, and she's like the tiniest person in the strip.

>>83266958
>Most cases of people 'defending themselves' the crimminal had no intention to kill.
What kind of complete fucking moron is going to take that risk when they or their loved ones are threatened??

Christ, I hope you never have a wife or kids.

And, having guns won't help you on a situation of true emergency. Actually, if there were no weapons, you wouldn't even need to defend yourself at all.

>>83267773
The point is, guns won't help you if the guy simply wants to kill you, and if he just wants to rob you, you can count on the police to get your stuff back without putting yourself at risk; or at least that's the ideal situation.

>>83268399

>>83268284
>What kind of complete fucking moron is going to take that risk when they or their loved ones are threatened
I never specified this case because it's not relevant. Notably, most people defending themselves do that when they are alone, of course. Whatever the case; WHEN they defend themselves, the crimminal most likely had no intention to kill them. If they had, they could just kill before you have any kind of reaction, or right after getting what they wanted.

>and guns are solely used to cause destruction

Hey fuck you, I use my gun for trick nail hammering during construction.

>>83267306
Here's the thing.

Mary is the only character who's had enough guys to call Ruth out for being an abusive, alcoholic bitch, or call Carla out for being an obnoxious cunt. Joyce's older brother is the only character who's pointed out the fucking elephant in the room - that Becky is an insufferable, immature, unstable person and is having a very negative influence on Joyce.

If Willis follows down the path he seems to be foreshadowing - getting Mary kicked out, having the older brother be rejected by Joyce and the younger brother, and so on... within another 5-6 months he'll have effectively eliminated any and all sources of conflict and drama (real or imagined) in the comic...


... at which point a decent chunk of his patreon readers will bail because the comic will be even more of a boring hugbox than it already is. Sure the tumblr LGBT crowd will keep subscribing, but despite what Willis portrays in his comic, 99% of the world's population is not comprised of gays, lesbians, and trannies.

What if Willis went to Silent Hill? What would be his demons? And what would be his endings?

>>83268451
No strawman, please.

I'm talking about 'guns', of course. You would still need to defend yourself even if there were no weapons at all, but it's way easier to do so without guns.

>>83268492
>Europeans actually believe this is a likely thing
I live in Brasil. Our country is shit, and still baning guns worked here.

The only crimminals that can actually have a gun are drug kingpins, or borrowing the gun from them, which is unlikely to happen since if they lose that weapon the 'boss' will just kill him.

Gun laws are a huge blow to organized crime. Even if they can bypass it; it's not cheap. It is very unlikely someone will use a gun for retarded reasons, like school shootings.

>P sure me blasting his torso away with 2 rounds of buckshot will help
since he planned to kill you, he will obviously do that before you.

>>83268797
His version of Silent Hill would have a lot of blatant Christian imagery, for one thing.

>>83239231

>>83268839
>The only criminals that can actually have a gun are drug kingpins
>Gun laws are a huge blow to organized crime.
But there's drug kingpins and corruption is rampant in Brazil. The organized crime there is much more organized and powerful than in America (which ALSO has gun laws).

>>83268839
Isn't there still a lot of violent crime?
I'd rather get shot than hacked up with a machete, guy.

We can feel sorry that her constant antagonizing of Mary will prevent Mary from realizing the technicality that comes with Carla being trans in allowing them a relationship that can be called heterosexual. Thus, we are deprived of a sexily abusive and abusively sexy Mary/Carla romance.

>>83268499
>>83268399
Random murder done without the victim's awareness is a pretty rare circumstance. It also doesn't remove the fact that seemingly non-lethal attacks frequently kill people, even if death wasn't intended. And you can't count on police getting your stuff back, you can't even count on them investigating in many cases.
