I hate trannies.

Or rather, I hate the selfloathing beta men who put trannies on a pedestal.

Stop giving him attention.

How is Mary misgendering Carla not okay, but Carla completely insulting Mary's religion okay? Both gender and religion are up to personal beliefs, so why should one be respected while the other belittled?

damn it

I hate it when a character the author doesn't like is blatantly being mistreated by the author's favorite, and the only way the author can manage to make it remotely believable is by making the maligned character respond in the most contrived, set up to be told off, no one would actually tall like this kind of way imaginable.

Seriously, anyone in this situation would be going "what is wrong with you why the hell did you do this, step off"

>>83308958
Even assuming Mary is a bigot.. what of it? why not just let her be? how does that make Carla right in any way, to annoy someone that is not doing anything against her?

>>83309452

Can't Mary say whatever she wants to Carla right now without repercussion because she's got dirt on Ruth?

Hasn't Mary seen firsthand that even implicit "transphobia" can stop Carla in her tracks? That it is in fact, apparently the only thing that can wound her at all?

Hasn't Willis made it incredibly clear that Mary is an awful evil hateful dirty dirty bigot?

So why is Mary sputtering uselessly like a Saturday morning cartoon villain instead of hitting Carla where it hurts, like an actual enraged asshole would?

>>83309058
Because Willis doesn't have decades-long mental issues with his gender.

Mary is usually really quick to be the worst. She calls Ruth a cunt over the course of 3 panels. She freaks out because Sierra didn't wear shoes to church, and is disgusted at the idea of an atheist coming to mass.

In the original Carla Mary sequence (image provided by a helpful anon from the last thread), Mary tries 5 things before she resorts to bigotry. She asks her to stop in a not overly rude manner, she states that Carla is breaking the rules, she physically impedes her while reading, she uses glue on Carla's skates, mentions the rules 2 more times, and then asks her to stop. Then after all that has failed she pulls out some bigotry. It's important to note that after she glues Carla's skates, she doesn't gloat, or call her names or even interact with her, she just goes back to studying.

I'm black and I've interacted with people who I wouldn't even consider racists who still went to racial slurs/insults as soon as there was any dissent. That's kind of how bigotry works, it's always at the forefront, it's not the secret weapon you pull out as a sixth resort. So not only did Willis write Mary as way more reasonable than she normally is (she went back to calling everyone degenerates and freaks at every moment afterwards), he also failed to capture how a bigot acts.

No wonder everyone was confused at the time of the boys' dorm comment, and no wonder people keep going back to the idea that Mary primarily wanted to study: it's literally how Mary was presented.

The thing that bothers me the most is other girls in the dorm besides Mary SHOULD have a problem with Carla.

It's not the fact he's a tranny, he's just a horrible person who shouldn't be allowed to get away with all this.

Because for WHATEVER reason, misgendering someone is likened to tearing asunder their entire identity and making them unstable. Trans people are glass houses.

I treat women I don't want to fuck the same as men anyway, it requires zero effort on my part.

Unless you're some kind of super-autist it should require zero effort to not bother people who you think are weird. But if that's so, I guess that's your prerogative, I try to respect autists and not treat them as anomalies.

Even if you think you're right and justified, disrespecting people is offensive because that's what being offensive IS

That being said, if you're being a fuckwad you can't really expect people to respect your feelings for long anyway. Like >>83310656 said, Mary is a pretty weak bigot and the Rube Goldberg machine just looks like she's being bullied.

Mary's kind of a bitch, misgendered Carla once and kinda-sorta baited her into possibly injuring herself (in the course of Carla showing blatant disregard for the needs and comfort of everyone else on the floor).

Deliberately glued her skates while she was careening full-speed down the hallway. Ignoring the Looney Tunes physics of that in the first place, it's a great way to injure someone.

Mind you, Carla probably shouldn't have been roller skating within arms reach of every door on that side of the dorm hallway if she didn't want to get injured (or to injure someone else).

>>83309840
That honestly makes Mary more sympathetic unintentionally because it makes it more like she said something without thinking and then rolled with it because it brought her a little peace and quiet instead of being the evil bigoted transphobe (and maybe played that all up specifically to piss off the useless, drunken, violent RA who already physically attacked her for no real reason). She just wants some quiet and instead she's violently attacked by a crazy drunk and harassed by a bully.

And here's the next comic.

I couldn't really think up of anymore gags, but I didn't just want them to come in, then immediately come out.

Reminder that Carla is actually a symbol for the wealthy 1%. She doesn't give a shit how well she does in school, her parents will put her in charge of things the moment she graduates with a mediocre degree in anything.

Mary is from a middle class background, she should get used to the rich running her life.

This is so fucking stupid. There's no reason for Mary to be confused and upset that the machine did literally nothing. Also, this is the sort of bullshit Ruth just got blackmailed into taking care of, now Mary is free to report a random machine assault/pie all over the floor.

And Mary's end game is to be left alone and have the RA do her job, she's like diet villain. Willis must have his head on backwards if he thinks any of this is realistic.

>>83315848
>Not to mention the fact that the physically impossible pie contraption was most definitely assault.

>Deliberately glued her skates while she was careening full-speed down the hallway.
It was against the rules and she'd already told Carla it was against the rules and she shouldn't be doing that, and her reply was essentially "fuck you, call the cops".

Also the point that she was going full speed in a hallway where people are not expecting anyone to be skating in and could just suddenly step out of their rooms.

The fact that Carla was going so fast she didn't have time to stop when something unexpected happened in front of her, the fact that she was going so fast she might have injured herself or someone, again, places the blame on Carla. She shouldn't have been doing that, especially repeatedly, especially when she knew it was against the rules. She knew she was causing a disturbance and endangering everyone around her and chose to live dangerously anyway.

Fuck Carla, seriously. She deserved to have her skates ruined.

>>83316372
That someone was Ruth, who deep down is the real person at fault for all of this.

Had Ruth done her job from the beginning and not been a drunk sociopath:
>Mary would have had nothing to blackmail her with
>Mary also would have felt comfortable going to her to reasonably resolve Carla making noise in the hallway
>Carla might just respect the hall in general if someone competent was running it
>Ruth could have stood up for Carla when she needed her to, assuming that same situation would have happened (pro tip, it wouldn't have)
I could go on, but really, we could bat back and forth about who is wrong in this situation between Carla and Mary, but the core of it is Rtuh being incompetent.

>>83316058

Legally, assault is defined as intentionally putting another person in reasonable apprehension of an imminent harmful or offensive contact. No intent to cause physical injury needs to exist, and no physical injury needs to result.

So, yeah. Building a Rube Goldberg machine with lasers in front of the door of someone you've publicly been having quarrels with and then hitting them with a pie? Mary could quite easily claim that she was reasonably afraid Carla was going to physically harm her.

Of course, this is Fuckwit Willis we're talking about so Carla will come out smelling like roses no matter what happens.

>>83316606
I legitimately thought that whatever Carla was up to would end in serious bodily harm to Mary, and the comic would paint it as justified.

To continue my analyses of characters as part of Willis's damaged, shattered psyche, I'm going to address Carla.

Carla can do no wrong. Like Becky, everything she does is hilarious and quirky and is in no way offensive or rude. Carla can do whatever she wants, and whatever wrong she does is hand-waved because she's trans.

She's loud and annoying, and her main character traits are based around this attitude of hers. Like Becky, she is a strawman: loud, unable to listen to reason, and believes she is always right. These are also features associated with psychopathy.

Carla is unable to recognize how her actions affect other people and honestly wouldn't give a crap even if she did understand that.

She serves as wish fulfillment: she can be as loud and annoying as she wants, and anyone who dares to speak up against her is just plain wrong. This, as I've said before, are major character traits of Willis.

Carla doesn't have to turn the comments off to have her reign of terror--all she has to do is simply exist. And that's all Willis wants for himself.

>>83309021
RISE THE DEMON ETRIGAN!

>>83316606
>>83316684

I strongly agree. She literally trapped Mary in her room and made her afraid of what would happen if she were to attempt to leave.

>>83308940
You mean "Literary Garbage"

>>83314264
>kinda-sorta baited her into possibly injuring herself
No, she absolutely did not. Carla was skating around at dangerous speeds where she shouldn't have been despite knowing it was against the rules and despite people having asked her to stop. Mary didn't "bait" her into it at all.

Literally the only reason for the entire confrontation is Carla's refusal to follow the common rules and respect other people's wishes of studying silence in the dorm.

But nooo, she's rich and privileged and literally feels that she should have special privileges to be a bitch and ignore rules with zero consequence.

The blame for everything is solely, SOLELY, on Carla being an obnoxious, self-centered cunt who wants to annoy other people because she enjoys the attention - and who will then cry and hide behind her parent's money when her obnoxious pestering gets hostile reactions from other people.

Carla's bullying is going to drive Mary to kill herself. The comic will be accompanied by an obnoxious trigger warning and more stupid cat pictures. We're then going to be subjected an entire arc where Carla comes to terms with the fact that it's not really her fault because Mary was a Christian and therefore deserved to die.

>>83308940
>I have rich parents so I can do whatever I want and make the poor pay me for it


What a hero Willis

>>83316904
It's funny, right?

If Carla wasn't trans, every fucking person on that comment section would be screaming about "Carl"s white, male, upper class privilege and how he's harassing a poor, innocent girl who's just trying to study.

But literally all of that gets completely flipped around for no other reason than "Carl" likes to wear skirts and tells everyone to call him a girl.


THAT is the level of cognitive dissonance we're dealing with.

Also, let's remember that time when Carla literally told Mary she hopes she dies.

Have you ever had someone pray to god for your death in your presence? I haven't.

This comes a few weeks after the City codified 31 gender identities into the city penal code.

As soon as a trend starts arising, and applicants reveal that they did state their gender in the interview, then people (upper-class white college-age people) will start rallying about workplace discrimination by companies refusing to hire trans/pan/a/meta/demi/uber/unter/inter people.

Face it, the way the current job market is going, we're going to see a huge fucking overhaul of workplace qualifications soon. At the current rate of needing a specific degree and X years experience to get into literally any position that isn't minimum-wage retail (a.k.a any position that you can actually make a living from), eventually we're going to run out of qualified employees altogether. At that point, we'll just have to hire anyone who can demonstrate general competence, and anyone who is a minority (see: any group who claims that they are oppressed), whether or not they can demonstrate general competence.

Jesus Christ. I made the mistake of looking at the comments, and this Cerberus guy has posted multiple, multi-paragraph posts analyzing the sheer brilliance of Carla's prank.Willis will never understand any point of view other than his own because he is surrounded by sycophants who worship the ground he stands on.

>>83318601
Well, but it's just so utterly impractical.
In my language, we have only 1 3rd pronoun, so for me even the he/she division seems a bit complicated and I often make mistakes with it. I can sort of understand the desire to have an option that's neither of those - but the best option would be to merge them together into 1 3rd option that would be pushed as a universal replacement for he/she. Sort of like instead or Mrs./ Miss there's now Ms. that's a safe standard. You don't have personal titles anyone can personally come up with and you have to ask and if you don't remember it's super rude. Like
>would you like a bag with that, miss?
>HOW DARE YOU my title of identity is Freemistress (Frmstrs.), how dare youuuuuuu

The point of the 3rd person is to have a SHORT go-to word aside a person's name that you can use when you don't know or remember their name or if it'd be inconvenient.

But if it becomes a personal choice, it's just another name to rember, and the whole linguistic function that the 3rd person serves disappears. It's unnecessarily complicated, and that's why it'll never really catch fire because the idea of 31 3rd person pronouns to remember is so fundamentally retarded

"Misgendering" is literally a case of not using the "correct" label/pronoun of the victim's choice.

Your position is fine. But if you're going to argue respect, it's a two way street. But in every p-flag meeting in the country there's at least one person who's professionally invested in being as triggered as humanly possible. And that's not counting the thankfully few "die cis scum" crowd.

Take one look at what's happened with abuses of Title VII and Title IX regulations at colleges in the last 10 years. The burden of proof on the person or persons filing the complaint is so ridiculously low that even the mere accusation of a violation is as damning as a school board finding proof of one.

It may seem like the whole of the world is eating up his slop, but it's really only a small amount.

Willis has eliminated even his mildest critics from his circle, and only the most brainless cretins are allowed to stay.

Willis likes to pretend that he's distanced himself from fundamentalism, but he's as fervent in it as his parents supposedly were; he's just traded Jesus in for his warped vision of Social Justice

>>83319830

Lets throw aside the free speech angle for now.

It's incredibly easy to abuse for frivolous lawsuits for one, and it doesn't actually fix the problem it's aimed at because you can't legislate respect.

This law was literally written by trial lawyers, and it shows.

I expect the net impact will be to make transexuals even less employable, much as some of the antidiscrimination laws have.

Holy shit, this. It's literally become such that he burden of proof is now on the accused to prove that they didn't violate the rules rather than the accuser to prove that they did.

When I was in grad school, two of the TA's in our group get written up for Title IX violations. One was accused of sleeping with a student. One was accused of using "inappropriate language" around a group of female students. Both accusations were based on nothing more than the say-so of the accusers, but both TA's got in serious trouble over it.

>>83316102

Legally, Mary snatched the box away from Carla and opened it. There's no law against carrying around a box primed to throw a pie into your own face.

So what's the ETA for people who know Willis's mind for him to tank Mary from "woops turns out people like my villain more than my pet character or secondary cast because my idea of villain is someone bullied and victimized" to "fuck you this is my comic and ill make Mary go from bullying victim to racist kkk violent murderer"?

>>83320370
>I was only trying to study... FOR MY MINORITY KILLING TEST

>>83320370

First off, his comment section and inner circle is just a giant circlejerk of people like him, so if anyone likes Mary, he obviously doesn't know them.

Anyway if he made Mary become Ben Garrison I think we'd only like her even more.

>>83320289
Yes, Willis made her take stupid pills for this whole plot to even work.

>>83317518
Ha ha ha, no
That's not how it works for people of Carla's social class unless she fucks up in a truly epic style, like drinking herself into a coma or killing a dude,(and maybe not even then) she will always have a safety net of wealth and status.

>>83320289
I imagine it falls under the same laws as boobytrapping one's property.

>>83320370
The problem with Mary is that she isn't even that bad.

She's essentially Archie Bunker levels of bigotry, that is, mild for her generation, but Willis expects his audience to be so overtly left and intolerant of circumstance that any level of bigotry is tantamount to being Hitler.

Instead of trying to show Mary that Carla's being trans doesn't make her any less of a person, they maker here an asshole whose bullying is seen as justifiable.

Willis and the people like him don't care about trying to change someone's mind through reason and kindness. Anyone who doesn't automatically toe the party line is inexcusably evil.

I like how telling Mary is of Willis being stupid

"Mary 100% deserves the repeated bullying, victimization, harassment, and physical abuse dished at her because she's religious, and the fact that she misgendered one of her harassers after literally weeks/months (fuck if I know the timescale for this shit) of this shit while being shielded by the corrupt RA she's fucking is 100% fair"

it's like he wants to be a special snowflake so bad that he's making a boogeyman out of parents and christians but his christian parents were decent enough that he just makes completely inoffensive (and morally in the clear) "antagonists"

>>83320289
I'm trying to figure out why the heck she took the box in the first place. I understand that she thought it was related to protecting Carla from her own prank, but how the heck would a cardboard box protect her from a giant contraption like that??

>>83320289
>Legally, Mary snatched the box away from Carla and opened it.

she didn't open it, it triggered automatically (somehow). she's holding the box with both hands when it goes off.

>>83320461
>Safety net of wealth and status ensure he/she is able to fuck around whenever/wherever and with whoever with no serious repercussions
>Wealth and connections result in him/her being able to take and use expensive and advanced technology at his/her leisure
>Essentially wearing a "suit" that deflects everything from criticism over being offensive to other people's beliefs/convictions, to responsibilities of being mature, stable, and responsible

Did Willis just literally make Carl into Trans-Iron-Man?
I would have said Trans-Batman, but Bruce Wayne is more mature and responsible than Tony Stark.

>>83320702
The simplest option be simply walking back inside of your dorm room

he's desperately trying to make Mary dumber to try and spite people who disagree with him

>>83320622

But because these people don't get punished in real life like Willis wishes they could be, he punishes them in his comics as a means of living vicariously. It's an elaborate power fantasy.

>>83320447

If she just closed the door when she saw the trap it wouldn't have worked. Would Carla have waited there with the name lasers and the pie box until she emerged?

We may never know

>>83320447

Has anyone considered posting a message claiming to be trans and explaining how upset you are at the way he's depicting Carla as a giant asshole who the story portrays as being in the right, thereby supporting the Far Right's claim that trans peoples' struggles aren't real and they're just attention seekers who think everything should be about them?

>>83309452
Willis loves Scrubs, Community, and Boy Meets World. Even discounting Transformers, I'm not sure he's ever consumed a piece of media that didn't involve a tee-and-set slice, "hole-in-one," you-are-right-and-I-Am-wrong.

Garbage in, garbage out.

How to tell is a situation is universally offensive or just offensive under one extremely specific set of circumstances: Change the race, religion, gender, etc of a character and see if it's still offensive.

Example >>83310656

Mary's "misgendering" comment is ONLY offensive in the context of Carla being an overly sensitive transgender person. The moment you remove that clarifier and make Carla a boy or a tomboy, it loses most of its offensiveness.

Whereas >>83320972

Carla literally praying for the death of another person is unbelievably offensive in literally any context.

>>83321095

Nah, you fuckers always ruin it by overreaching and using a bunch of overspecific SJW lingo that gets you found out and poisons the well. Poe's law is never gonna play in your favor.

At this point you'd be better off showing the Carla-Mary comics around tumblr and finding an actual tranny who thinks Carla's an asshole.

>>83308940
I thought this character was a car, why are people calling her a tranny?

>>83320209
>>83320972
is this setting up for the box to be a bomb joke?

Every once in a while, someone posts pointing out that Willis is milking Patreon. But here's a fun fact: even if he's making $70k/year (which is iffy), there's almost no way his standard of living is as high as mine in QA Hell for a mid-level company.

Consider this:
- He is an epileptic, or has a like seizure disorder. This requires medication, constant vigilance, and probably means he can't partake in many drugs or alcohol. It also NECESSITATES he buys third-party health insurance because he's self-employed.
- He has a wife, who likely also requires insurance. Maybe through her employer? Hell if I know.
But here's the kicker:
- He has at least two kids, both of them growing up in a mid-level city in Indiana. Fuck knows how or why, but he decided to have kids making less than $75k/year.
- He has a constant, gnawing, fundamentally untenable Transformers collection edition. Ethan and other collector characters from Shortpacked are barely-veiled stand-ins for him and his purchasing habits. Just to keep "nerd cred" and show his Transformer Magazine friends he's still hip to it, he's spending at least $200/month on a new toy intended for five year olds.

If that's not enough, on top of EVERYTHING ELSE he needs to ride the convention circuit just to "keep eyeballs on his content," constantly self-marketing himself on Twitter, and, of course, INCESSANTLY moderating the comments and forums.

He has barely more money after accounting for the kids and less free time. I pity him.

This whole thing is just weird. Like you would have to realize that you wrote this really terribly if you wanted people to cheer for the person fucking around on rollerblades, right?

Like it just doesn't work. This is some Arthur punching DW for breaking his plane level shit. You can't force it, nobody is going to be on her side no matter how much you try to force it. I mean, just looking at the posted tweet he barely got 40 likes which I assume is low even for a retard like him.

It's just baffling how much you can manage to cock up a storyline. Then again I barely ever come to these threads to see what this dipshit has cooked up so maybe it's just par for the course. But it seems like if there's an obvious way to ruin any chance to salvage a storyline or character that this author takes that chance and wipes his ass with it.

So he spends dozens of comics showing how this four eyed shit openly antagonizes the Christian girl but oh man it's so whacky so that makes it okay. Then finally the Christian girl has enough of this shit and tells her to fuck off and drills in a cheap insult to hurt her/him/whatever and now that validates all that antagonism somehow.

He seems like the biggest fucking idiot with a webcomic. Even compared to stabs his own hands and Diaz.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. I FEEL LIKE FRANK GRIMES.

>>83321522
Different universe. Basically the same characters, but shittier like later Shortpacked.

>>83321522
The character Carla used to be a guy named Carl, then he transitioned into a "female" (a transsexual/transvestite, or commonly known as a "tranny") that's why he/she/it's so much bigger than all the other girls, and why the conservative girl Mary doesn't like Carla in the women's dorm.

And the opposite is true, too. Imagine my confusion every time I hear brodudes talking about trannies in a positive tone, when I only ever hear the word "tranny" in place of "transistor" maybe once a year.

>>83321702
Keep it in perspective: How many other better, superior artists and writers make less than him?

That he even makes enough to afford to go to convention on this crap is pretty amazing to me.

>>83321702
This.
Basically, >>83319778 said it best.

>>83321752
that is always the laziest kind of shit. He can't even think up new characters, just repurpose them and change everything but their names and appearances. Needs to ride the recognition of a previous thing people might have enjoyed just to trick them into reading the new garbage.

Apparently Willis got called out for being stupid and cried about it on Twitter.

Deep in his mind, Willis knows he's in the wrong, so he sabotages his own characters and makes them 100% unlikable except for the one who is SUPPOSED to be unlikable

-All men in his comic are all either completely fucking stupid (like the one who likes/loves/whatevers the"superhero") or evil rapists/kidnappers
-His "superhero" character is a schizophrenic/delusional nut
-His transgendered character is a spiteful fuck who expects Mary to respect her identity as a transgendered woman but doesn't respect Mary's identity as a religious woman and refuses to avoid Mary (which she would try if she were the victim) and actively attempts to provoke them at all times
-The RA is a corrupt fuck who would be kicked out of the dorm/school with one phone call for not just fucking with one of her residents, but enabling that resident's harassing as well as harassing on their own
-The characters he wants people to root for are malicious bullies who in reality would be hated, while he subconsciously writes the "antagonists" so reverse of his intentions that you know he hates himself and what he does

I only read this comic when it pops up here, but I want Willis to come to the realization that everything he thinks is right is wrong, and everything wrong is right.

>>83322119
>but I want Willis to come to the realization that everything he thinks is right is wrong, and everything wrong is right.

He wasn't flipping his shit. Willis will frame it as "well in that world any contrary opinion is squealched, so Joyce has no filter, it's all PASSION coming through"

Yeah uh a 14-year-old barking in the middle of an Applebees about how shitty Bush was is still more annoying than a thirty-something supporter dismissing waterboarding as traumatizing.

>>83322119
>-The RA is a corrupt fuck who would be kicked out of the dorm/school with one phone call for not just fucking with one of her residents, but enabling that resident's harassing as well as harassing on their own

Yeah. Indiana University is not a beacon of liberal progress on a hill. 9/10 chances says she's getting off the hook because Mary calls the RA manager just after most of her alcohol metabolites are out of her system. A "voluntary" test finds nothing, and the report is dismissed out of turn.

Plot twist: Ruth is allowed off the hook, contingent on the total lack of alcohol in her room for the rest of the semester, until this all blows over.

Two months in-universe (and two real world years) later, she gets pulled over for drunk driving. Citing the clause in her agreement, the RA manager does a spot-check of her room only to find several bottles of Royal Crown (it's Megatokyo's favorite brand, you see). She's not expelled, but disbarred from campus and is now found in abeyance of her RA scholarship.

It's the faux drama Willis craves. A drug addiction! How sad! How relatable, a person who could have just followed the rules only to fall prey to a CHEMICAL ADDICTION! Or, shock, perhaps MARY snuck into the room only to PLANT THE EVIDENCE!!1!! WIGIIIIIII!

Has Willis ever made a sympathetic "villain"

>>83317544
Is misgendering just when you use the wrong pronoun? Because I do that accidentally all the time, over and over, to the point where I'm frankly embarrassed for myself, and I'm a super pinko-lefty queer faggot with a tranny sibling. Does anyone really get pissed off about that kind of thing?

>>83322119
>-The RA is a corrupt fuck who would be kicked out of the dorm/school with one phone call

This is one of the things that confuses me the most. With the massive liberal slant of modern colleges today, there wouldn't even have to BE a phone call. There's no fucking way in hell that Ruth would ever still have her job after even HALF the shit she's pulled.

But Willis is a retard, so reality warps itself around Ruth because if a competent person had the position then Carla wouldn't be free to run amok about campus like a rhino with syphilis.

>>83321702
If I remember right he is in denial about his epilepsy and refuses to get it treated. I think he blames it on panic attacks or something. I could be wrong though.

Yes, being called by your biological sex maliciously is enough to bother quite a few trans people. Keep in mind, they tend to be trans people who can't handle the banter. Many trans people I know would respond with, "You really think that's the nuclear option?"

And, not to put too fine a point on it, but if you wanted to avoid shitheads who'd try calling you by your birth gender on purpose, INDIANA UNIVERSITY BLOOMINGTON is the dumbest possible way to go. Even goddamn University of Illinois is better for LGBT acceptance on campus.

Panels 2 and 3 show how scared Mary was. It's the combination of realizing that Carla has access to unlimited tech and probably wouldn't face any retribution for her actions because of her family's influence, and knowing that the extent of her prank was entirely dependent on her whims.

Carla is a terrorist.

>>83320622

I really feel like it would have been a much more entertaining plotline if the rollerskating in the hall argument had turned into an escalating prank war between Mary and Carla that resulted in them becoming unlikely best friends. You'd still have the jokes at the expense of the uptight christian girl, but at the same time show her loosening up and developing an amusing sitcom rivalry with Carla before the much more positive message of how prejudice can often be defeated by getting to know someone rather than "This is Mary.

Actually, yeah. Great Leaders don't waste their time on useless problems.

It astounds me that we give a fuck about race in the US when most college kids graduate with 100k of debt and -50k of earning potential.

Anyone who obsesses over race, gender, sexuality, they're tribalists They only care for -their- group, they have no interest in actual equality.

>>83325140
No, seriously. What's to say the pie wasn't laced? All Mary needs to do is go to the hospital and get a tox screen. Bonus points if she knows someone with alcohol or mushrooms. Take some funny chemicals, puke a little, claim Carla must have tainted it.

The police come around, get an "unclear" result from the pie samples. She's taken in for questioning. The local liason has reasonable suspcion of drugs in Carla's room, and RA staff come to find her mad scribbles and blueprints.

But here's the beauty part: Carla would need to explain, IN DETAIL, why she's firing an FCC-noncompliant device on state property in a hallway designed to be free and clear in case of a fire. She'd need to DETAIL how Mary wasn't informed of the laser's frequency or light intensity or offered eye protection. She'd have to explain why in particular she designed the device to strike Mary at a certain height and orchestrate this over weeks. She'd have to explain why something designed, likely under a Federal or private contract, was suddenly converted for personal harassment. If Mary so much as whispers this to the shareholders of Ruttech R&D or some of their licensees, things may suddenly become VERY unpleasant for Carla.

Carla would need to take time out of class to explain herself to the board of regents and likely anyone associated with the technology, and at some point SOMEone will point out being a "wild child" ends around age 16.

At a minimum, people would suddenly view Carla with some serious scrutiny. "Carl the Jarl" will become a meme on campus.

>>83325151
Fuck that is accurate as hell. Especially the forced melodrama

>>83325184
The comment really makes it seem like the reason Carla is never punished is because the parents donate money or just bribe the school to look the other way

It's all about the brand recognition. Even though this isn't technically a Walkyverse strip, it may as well be as he's banking on all the familiar faces and similar plot hooks.

>>83325184
>>83325420
It's been said before, but Mary is an Engineering student. Carla's implying that because she got triggered, she's going to get blacklisted from any number of internships and jobs in the future. For, you know, STOPPING A FUCKING WOMANCHILD FROM SKATING AROUND THE HALLS DURING QUIET HOURS.

>>83325465
But Willis is anti-Gamergate. He's all about blacklists. Does it matter if this person is spending umpteen thousands of dollars for a degree and working to be a real engineering student instead of fucking around on Rube Golberg devices? No, no, they used THE BAD WORD ONCE IN ANGER

SO SHE MUST BE PUNISHED SEVERELY

>>83309058
Because Willis grew up in a religious household and the only outlet for his bottled up frustration is his comic.

>>83325524
I'm surprised he doesn't use the blocker thing. It seems like only Abby from strip seach does. Which sucks cause I kinda liked her comics.

>>83310656
How is Willis so good at getting the reader to sympathize with the bad guy?

>>83325362

This is a bigger problem than you'd think. Engineering students are expected to take an ethics course for experimental design centering around precisely this. You're firing an "experimental" anything before it's been vetted by UL or the FCC and suddenly things become VERY tricky. ESPECIALLY if you're involving anyone not in the program or who couldn't REASONABLY know not to look directly into the beam.

Willis really wasn't an Engineering student, was he?

>>83322296
Becky is inside all of us, kind of like the Spirit of Christmas.

>>83325465
is it then a bit annoying that apparently Carla is much more capable and knowledgeable about engineering than Mary?

>>83325679
> capable and knowledgeable
No, a Rube Golberg device only tells us she has a Hellacious amount of time on her hands. The exotic parts she "borrowed" from R&D only suggests access to untested lasers and other tech, not mastery or even input on their design.

So far we've only seen Mary study. All we've seen until now is Carla SKATIN' AROUND LIKE A SUPER BITCH and this hate-fuck of a marquee.

I thought that was what rich people had lawyers for.

>>83325847
Smart, rich people. Carla strikes me as so smug that she'd tell everyone what she did.

>>83325362
What if Carla did lace the trap with alcohol or drugs so that Mary will unwittingly fail a drug test or just have her be drunk and become ridiculously belligerent and racist(her true nature!) with public intoxication and get expelled?

>>83325779
I bought a bunch of Top Pot donuts and handed them out to booth staff around ECCC a few years ago. It was fun.

I saw Kurtz and he looked genuinely sad. It was shortly after he began a pretty intense diet, and he saw me giving out donuts to the Prism Comics guys. I know he's a big boy and people on diets need to suck it up, but the light in his eye was just gone for an instant.

I shuffled along. Tried giving a few to Straub. He really didn't want any, but gave a REALLY huffy response when I said, "I really liked Starslip Crisis." It was like, "Yeah, thanks," in that way you say "Yeah, thanks" to the guy who just said he likes to eat shit.

>>83325942
It wouldn't be hard to detect. It'd be stupid - maybe even dumber than erecting some 10-year-old revenge fantasy Rube Goldberg machine to blare your name in three-foot-tall letters. A fucking swab and she'd get hit with distribution and possession of whatever substance was involved at a minimum.

>>83325901
True enough. It would depend on how quickly Carla's parents found out about this whole thing.

>>83325944
>Tried giving a few to Straub. He really didn't want any, but gave a REALLY huffy response when I said, "I really liked Starslip Crisis." It was like, "Yeah, thanks," in that way you say "Yeah, thanks" to the guy who just said he likes to eat shit.
What, for real? He doesn't like it when people enjoy his work? What's his fucking problem then?

>>83326032
It depends if Willis' hatred of parents applies to them as well. They might be completely supportive of any sort of homicidal thoughts Carla has towards classmates because she's just a special snowflake expressing herself and Mary is just dusty old bones, full of green dust.

>>83326121
If Carla's parents are depicted as anything other than supportive then Willis will look completely stupid.

>>83318601
>At the current rate of needing a specific degree and X years experience to get into literally any position that isn't minimum-wage retail (a.k.a any position that you can actually make a living from)
I make a living working minimum wage retail. I don't live with my parents and I pay all my own bills. I have zero debt. You ARE shit at budgeting if you think a minimum wage full-time job (or 2 part time jobs) isn't livable.

>>83326068
Not >>83325944 but I'm pretty sure Straub's still angry about how Starslip ended. He sort of wrote himself into a corner and then pretty much took a sword to the Gordian knot of a narrative he'd constructed. I'm still not sure why he chose to end as abruptly as he did, though.

>>83326155
>then Willis will look completely stupid
But that's unthinkable!

>>83325944
I was under the impression Straub liked starslip and had that sorta dislike of his own work for Chainsawsuit. Ah well he's got to be enjoying making broodhollow, surely

>>83326185
>I'm pretty sure Straub's still angry about how Starslip ended.
Okay, there's definitely something going over my head here. Angry at whom? He wrote it himself! I could see unhappy, disappointed, self-critical... but angry?

>>83325847
>>83325901
No, no, man, I can't fucking tell you how embarrassing it is for an engineering company to have to get company materials out of police lockup. Assuming they AREN'T held in civil forfeiture and they DON'T have to vouchsafe they were not used in any crime, people talk. Even if somehow this ULTRA-successful engineering firm is 100% privately owned, yeah, other vendors notice when X company has to get their shit out of police lockup because the founders' daughter had a little field day. There's no way word isn't getting out.

And, no, the actually-fucking-serious engineering firms don't like it when things are taken off site for a little "field experiment" and distrust other businesses that do. If it's in R&D, it's not meant for public consumption. More importantly, it represents IP under hot development which may not be covered under patent. If someone else "finds" it, years of research are down the tubes.

All those cute anecdotes about MIT students cooking up alcohol in stills controlled with stolen femtolasers or something? Every time they let slip a story like that to Forbes or Valleywag, their name goes on a "do not hire" list. I've never seen it, but I've had referrals bounce back because X person was on it.

And the older I get, the more I understand why "engineering hijinks" aren't anything to be proud of.

When did Natalie Mars become good Carla?

First time I have ever seen this web comic, and I think Mary looks like the victim of an abusive dorm.
funny how low this writer has fallen to think that his moral hero, transgender dick. feels it is alright to insult and upset a woman. because she cant accept the trans thing.

Yeah, and moreover you learn to deal with assholes trying to get under your skin by refusing to let them get under your skin.

"Ha ha ha I'm taking you to the BOY'S dorm where you belong!"
"Yeah, that's a real sick burn. Yeah. Uh-huh."

And before anyone says, "yeah, that sounds like IF I WAS THERE--" and you're right, but I have been there. I've been called a faggot, point blank, and after a while it just does not affect me. Nowadays when someone does that, at most they'll get is, "What with me being gay and all, that was a real zinger."

>>83326818
Yeah, but in the comic, it wasn't even a "ha ha ha" situation of Mary trying to get under anyone's skin. Like someone commented on Willis' twitter, we are never given any sort of hint that Mary is aware of Carla's gender status, so it comes off as her just taking her there because she's loud, annoying, and acting like a boy.

>>83326917
that's such an esoteric insult

>>83326917
You're right, though I'm sorry - I meant "ha ha ha" as in Mary is pleased with herself, thinking this is such a terrible cutting remark, not that it was joking.

And ... I guess you're right! We never did get indication Mary knew Carla well at all.

I know I'm not crazy. I distinctly remember reading this. Please, someone else remember this.

In Mary's case, it's like if she were to make a joking remark about tattling on someone to their PARENTS! only for the other person to just get a solemn face as say their parents are dead and everyone then bullies her for not knowing that it was a very sensitive subject.

He's still 16. No, honestly. Only a 16-year-old would look on something that horrifying and, instead of encapsulating it like "I have what seems to be a seizure disorder but I'm fine, incidentally flight stewards are extremely good at what they do," a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD uses it as #justepileptic things.

An adult would say, "Oh, looking back I can understand why the gastrointestinal symptoms were so scary to the flight crew - it was the height of the Ebola scare." instead of "OH YEAH I SAW THE THING ON THE TEEVEE NOW IT MAKES SENSE"

There's a certain subset of our generation that just will not grow up. Everything's supposed to be oversized and hanging off the plate. This is OUR lives, why not talk about it incessently? Why package it or make it simpler to understand? Why directly confront the question ("are you okay") with a brief explanation when instead I can hand-wave what may become a serious neurological disorder I have now passed on to twin children?

Moreover, someone passed out on a plane may need additional oxygen. It costs very little to give a mask to someone who may not need it - and a LOT of money in liability if they wind up with oxygen deprivation. If he HAD stroked out, the flight crew could claim he was assessed by a medical professional onboard and given oxygen for the duration of the flight.

Seriously, what an asshole. You don't say "OH I GUESS THEY KNOW WHAT'S BEST," at most you say, "I'm not sure I needed it, but then again I was the guy with the pants full of shame, so ..."

Pleb's QC Parody was absolutely spot on too, but the absolute best was her Kate Leth parody which was actually less extreme than the thing it was parodying
Pleb is the hero this world needs

Randy made the wise decision to have the cast of Something Positive grow up, grow old and get over most of their shit. Some of them have families that aren't horrible. Even Davan is doing the Substitute Dad thing.

The thing is, I never saw Mary give a shit about Carla or what she was until Carla kept pushing her. It never came off as Mary hating Carla because she's trans. It was more like Mary hates Carla because Carla just won't leave her alone and the "boy" comment was the only way to get Carla to even shut up for a second.

I doubt it, since the kid was born some time last year (I remember related Chainsawsuit comics/newsposts) which means it was ocnceived either '14 or early '15, and the ol' Strauboscope doesn't strike me as the type of cowboy crazy to meet a woman and then have a kid with her in the span of like a year.
