Okay so quick breakdown.

This is an alternate Universe where Willis is using all the same characters from Shortpacked!, but they're in college. Also Carla is Ultra Car from Shortpacked!, but in this Universe instead of being a humaney lookin' robot or whatever, she's a transgender girl who based her entire life around a shitty cartoon show back in the 90's.

Yeah, I'm certain people hated her for reasons completely unrelated to the fact that she's a huge annoying asshole. Then again, she is a spoiled rich kid, so it's not like that's unusual.

What do you expect when Willis himself has stated that she's constantly trying to be an asshole to people.

Also get this, Jacob is one of the characters who has a cast profile. Not Mary, or Hank, or even Leslie, but Jacob somehow gets a cast profile.
>>
>>84317685

It's weird, when he was talking about Dexter & Monkey Master a couple strips ago he was articulating himself pretty well "something about cultural relevant", and then on this strip he's reduced to the diction of a ten-year-old talking about far jokes. This really inconsistent.
>>
>>84317988
I think he's intentionally being juvenille just to piss Carla off

but that might be giving him too much credit.
>>
>>84317988
It's another instance of Willis not being able to just leave a strip alone. He's done this before but the one that sticks out the most is where Becky and Joyce are talking about something in her old room and they joke about picking up sticks or something. Then he updated that to involve Joyce overreacting and looking like a spaz about the sticks.
>>
>>84317786

It's cute that you think that
>>
>>84317685

so the joke is he takes the show on the superficial level but she has all these memories. but I'm worried somehow it will be drama about him disrespecting the show and her. i mean her whole speech is about how it's not the actual show it's these memories and feelings!!

>Is constantly an asshole to everyone because she craves attention.
>Is disheartened when that attention is negative or openly hostile.
>Didn't even come from a neglectful family situation that might explain such behavior, and in fact comes from a privileged, wealthy corporate/engineering family with parents that doted on her and paid for everything she's ever wanted or needed.
>We're supposed to sympathize with this character because...trans?

Carla is one of the least relatable characters in this entire shit show of a webcomic. Nothing about her behavior is justified or even logical given her upbringing. She's just an asshole that fucks with people and then acts surprised when someone lashes out right back like Mary did. And then she flaunts her power, money, and influence right back at Mary with that dangerous pie-machine prank.

Not even Becky is this completely infuriating.

Maybe it's because you're a bitch cunt whose deranged gender-change did nothing but legitimize the fact that you're a bitch.
>>

I imagine most people would feel completely ambivalent to Carla's existence if she wasn't such a tremendous twat.
>>
>>84318237
That would imply he could write at one point.
>>
>>84317685
So, the reason she's set on being a humongous asshole to everybody is because she wants people to hate her on her own terms. She'd rather be hated for the bad things she actually did and enjoys than for existing.

>>
>>84318233
That's because Becky actually had shit happen to her and Carla was just an anti-social asshole.

I want this meeting to happen now, just to see Willis try and justify the hugbox surrounding Carla.
>Becky: Yeah, my dad kidnapped me and beat up my girlfriend because it turns out I like girls. Mom also tried to commit suicide and I walked in on her doing it once.
>Carla: Yeah well, my favorite cartoon didn't have any toys.
>>
>>84318306

The logic behind this tactic is flawed, because there are plenty of people who would not hate Carla simply for existing / being trans that WOULD grow to hate her because she's doing annoying shit all the time.
>>
>>84317685
Hopefully Ross comes back and just shoots Carla. I take back what I said previously, Becky I don't think actually knows better. She's just plain stupid. Carla is a cunt with rich parents who give her whatever she wants and can't comprehend why nobody likes her.

Attention whore
>>
>>84317685
This is a weird exchange, because Walky is a huge cartoon dork who was bullied by his childhood friend Billie and her popular clique. He hasn't been shown to have a single actual friend from high school or even elementary outside of Billie, and he's obsessed with that D&MM show (it's why him and Dorothy are together). The idea that he can get so worked up and emotional about that show that was obviously really important to him, while also not showing any deep emotional attachment is backwards.

Basically, Carla going "my life sucked but at least I had that cartoon" and Walky responding with "duh, the cartoon I liked has farts" is really bad writing. Even though Walky is about being macho, it really does read like "male nerd = bad, trans/female nerd = good." Garbage.
>>
>>84318346
>>Parents that aren't awful

Id say spoiling him to the point where they'll pay to get him butchered rather than get him therapy pretty much means theyre awful.

Im willing to bet if Carl told them to destroy the lives of Mary and her entire family, theyd do it
>>
>>84318145
Oh boy is he ever.
>>
>>84318515
Willis wanted it to be painfully obvious that Carla is the right one here. No, there's no argument or anything going on, but Carla must be always made to look right.
>>
>>84318515

>Carla going "my life sucked but at least I had that cartoon"

This would have some weight if Carla's life ACTUALLY sucked, instead of her coming from a wealthy, loving, and supportive family and most of the bad shit / hatred she gets being the result of her own shitty behavior. The fact that she's rich and white pretty much trumps any of the shit she might get for being trans.
>>
>>84317685
>people hated me for every reason that was convenient
There is always a reason, ALWAYS. Its not fucking rocket science, if you're deviant of have surplus negative traits without a personality of sense of humor to negate it then you will and should be bullied into conforming into a reasonable human standard.

That means hammering out the impurities in the very core of your being that hold you back. people either emerge stronger of shatter though the experience, its a social make or break experience necessity in growing up. Thats why people grow out being a sperg or learn to embrace it 100%, the wheat has to be culled.

I know in context this strip is dumb as hell, but the idea that Carla opens up and leaves herself vulnerable expressing her deep emotional attachment to a children's cartoon in the middle of a nerd fight just to have Walky not give a single fuck made me laugh out loud. Kudos Willis, you've failed into greatness.
>>
>>84318306
No, she just wants people to pay attention to her. That's it, she's an attention whore. Nobody but her parents paid attention to her as a kid so she'll act like an asshole just because it means people will have to pay attention to her.

She's honestly one of the shittiest, most self-centered assholes I've ever seen in a webcomic.
>>
Christ, at this point Willis is pretty much outlining one of Cerberus' fucking comment essays panel-by-panel, letting her know exactly how to praise him and what words to use. This is infuriating.

I wonder if anyone who archive binges this comic will be able to tell the exact point Carla went from "the new Mike" to "whatever Cerberus tells me she is".

Yes.

The fact TF wiki has an article on him shows what a gargantuan narcissist he is.

- Has a blog
- posts regularly at Allspark
- Has had half a dozen comic strips featuring him in some form.
- Made his own "Walkypedia" to showcase every aspect of his creation
- Pays so TFU.Info has TWO banner ads of his comic on every single solitary page
- Makes TFWIKI to force more of his opinions, attitudes and biases onto readers

He's far more than an ordinary attention whore. He's an attention SINGULARITY from which the tiniest ray of humility can escape

Ooooh, I think I get it now. See, I was coming at her behavior thinking it was illogical that someone without a neglectful home life would crave attention so strongly, but you've opened my eyes. It's BECAUSE her parents paid so much attention to her and gave her everything she ever wanted (from toys to hormones) that she needs attention from others. She got so used to being the center of the universe that the idea of people being ambivalent to her existence was incomprehensible. Even if it's negative attention, she NEEDS to be acknowledged. It's not about "being hated on her own terms". To Carla, someone not having an opinion about her AT ALL is far, far worse than being hated.

It all makes sense to me now.

One of the things he had her mention was Ultra Car getting canceled due to it not getting ratings in the right demographic so yes, he believes the (long disproven) rumor that Young Justice was canceled because girls watched it and decided to include that in his story.

I think this is the biggest example of character assassination to prove a point. Walky is an insensitive dick about cartoons because he has watched a bulk of them. He's basically the closest thing their universe has to a /co/ shitposter. But he has a very deep and emotional connection with shows. They were basically the only constant in his life after his sister went to Tennesee and his only other friend left. Someone like Walky would be more than understanding about how a cartoon can actually mean more to someone.

But we need someone to be a dick and Walky's Male and JUST white enough so...

There is nothing wrong with this comic in isolation. However, within context she's trying to win a nerd fight with a personal sob story. On a meta level the author is also trying to force a sympathetic backstory on a character whose personality has always been attention whoring asshole and the best he can come up with is "kids were mean to me when I was younger and my parents, who are fucking loaded, cared about me enough that they drove around to every toy store looking for a toy of my favorite cartoon and when they couldn't find one hand built me one." It doesn't really do much to engender sympathy for Carla, but it does make her parents sound like awesome people.

As much as I hate Willis, his wiki entry is mostly just a list of the Transformers stuff he's worked on.
>>
>>84318770

>Has a blog
That's been a common thing for well over a decade, now.

>posts regularly at Allspark
He likes Transformers, no? Why does posting regularly somewhere make you a narcissist?

>Has had half a dozen comic strips featuring him in some form.
Are you talking about him self-inserting, or other people doing comics about him? Again, self-inserting in comics is pretty common, especially in webcomics.

>Made his own "Walkypedia" to showcase every aspect of his creation
Wikis are common as fuck now. And it's more to catalog rather than showcase it. That just means he's anally retentive.

>Pays so TFU.Info has TWO banner ads of his comic on every single solitary page
No shit a guy who makes comics buys ads.

>Makes TFWIKI to force more of his opinions, attitudes and biases onto readers
Is this not just him being anally retentive again?
>>
>>84318772

Weisman himself confirmed this 100% wrong. Low toy sales were the only cause. WB was fine with the additional demographics, they were upset with the low toy sales. The Invasion Toys were neigh impossible to find in store too.

CN/WBs inter political bullshit probably played a part too because DC kept advertising it and GL and then airing their own shows because DC Nation had stronger ratings and they had to pay to air it.

Allspark is where the narcissistic assholes tend to go. It's pretty hated by most other Transformer forums because they feel they're better than them despite being just as shitty, and it's incredibly despised by /toy/.

>Is this not just him being anally retentive again?

He's pretty out of control there yeah.

Hi, Willis!
>>
>>84329011

But lots of cartoons last multiple seasons with no toy lines
>>
>>84317685
I actually think that Willis is inserting himself with Carla in this strip.
Think of it like this
>He made a character called ultra car
>He obessed over it.
>He couldn't let go of it
>Mainl because he was always bullied
>carried it until his late thirties to what we have now.
>>
>>84318647
It didn't make me laugh out loud, but you are right. I agree thoroughly.
>>
>>84329011
WB needs to get their cartoon house in order.

I don't like Disney's Marvel cartoons (some even annoy me) but at least Disney actually shows the Marvel cartoons.

WB makes CN and DC compete with each other. And CN doesn't want to pay DC for cartoons because it's cheaper to make their own. The only reason TTGo isn't cancelled is because it's cheaper.

I fully expect Justice League Action to be cancelled and sold into the government domain so it can never be shown on tv again. (Just like Beware the Batman).

And it's stupid because cartoons can be used to introduce heroes to kids and remind them their brand still exists.
>>
>>84331669
Every character is already a personification of some aspect of Willis' overall persona. He's admitted it in the past.
>>
>>84332358
Yeah, and he doesn't identify with Danny anymore. I wonder if he tries to conncet himself with the background characters.
>>
>>84333277
Doubt it. He's too busy connecting with a near-parody of autism and a too-white-to-be-black manchild. Also a hoarder. And an alcoholic.

And female Batman but also literally psycho.

Must be Mary's bigotry powers making Walky forget that his own history with being an ostracized kid connecting with cartoons should make his response more along the lines of "Oh wow, that is what helped me get through some tough times as a kid too. Want to hang out and watch stuff?" rather than be full autist shit there.

Damn you, bigotry voodoo

Is this new? I feel like I've posted it before.

>>84331669
It almost warrants an emotional response, for Carla at least, except for the whole "my parents made custom toy for me" and "I'm not sure why everyone hates me"
>>
>>84336389
If they hadn't made that toy, it might have been a bit more emotional. And generic "everyone hates me" doesn't work for me. If you're getting made fun of, then you know why, because everyone will go out of their way to inform you of it.
>>
You'd think that Carla's parents would use the design of the custom toy and pitch a new line of Ultra Car toys, or pitch their own original line of transforming vehicles that disguise themselves as robots.
>>
>>84337616
That would only make sense if her parents had some kind of toy or modeling business, from what we've seen they're more like a Google analogue.

>>84337601
>>84336389
I tried altering the dialogue to make her attachment to the car symbolize her connection to her parents, since she's adopted, here >>84319838

Not sure if it really works though.

No, I don't really have the desire to run an actual edit so I linked an earlier post that contains altered dialogue.
>>
>>84338299
Even so, they could still pitch the design patents or whatever to toy companies. Plus, if Google's rich enough to have their own fiber optics network, then Fake Google can probably have their own toy company.
>>
>>84338642
Yes, but Google's sub-businesses tend to relate to each other and their core.
>>
>>84317802
Why does that matter to anyone that isn't him?
>>
>>84339211
It's cause some anon was insinuating that Willis makes a living based on the strength of these threads alone.
>>
>>84338949
Fair enough.

Maybe Fake Google could implement it into some kind of smart droid. Maybe androids.

...And now I'm picturing DoA being a semi-distant past version of QC, and Carla's parents are responsible for the droids in that comic.
>>
>>84339291

It's ultimately not about money at this stage anyway. Willis is trying to build up enough social currency to become a Prominent Online Personality. The problem is, outside of his TF wiki he's pretty small-time in TF Fandom, his comic knowledge is limited to stuff he gleams from websites and DC animated series. Even in the social commentary game, enough people have realized that, just maybe, the middle-aged white fanboy who's married with two kids might not be the ideal spokesperson for LBGT issues.
>>

Google owns a bunch of companies that make devices that are only tangentially related to the internet, like Nest Labs which makes products like smoke detectors with wifi connection and are programmable
It's not a huge suspension of disbelief that this fake google could make toys

>Alphabet is a company that the CEOs and founders of google created that bought google
No, Alphabet is Google, Inc. itself, but renamed and rebranded. There is still a "Google" that now operates beneath the Alphabet umbrella.

But other than that, yeah. It's not impossible for Google to consider branching out into toys or something.
>>
>>84340069
What's the difference between making a new company and moving all assets there and renaming/branding/creating your company to include the old company and all of it's assets?

>>84340151
In Google's case, they didn't have to change the name on the front of the building.

>>84339802
I think he'd probably get a lot more cred if he just admitted he's a middle-aged white guy who tries to be supportive even if he's not always the most knowledgeable guy about LGBT issues. Assuming he's actually sincere about it all.

This is probably the most realistic page of DoA I've ever seen. But I went to an engineering college where we literally had retarded people walking around. Dudes who could do physics and stuff, but no idea how to talk to women in a normal way. Fat women who could do math, but tried to act like anime characters. Unironic fedoras and t-shirts. People with no less than four mlp items on at any given time.

Anyways, I hated that school and I hate Willis's comic.
>>
>>84343959
>an engineering college
Well, there's your first problem. You didn't go to an actual college.
>>
>>84344089
It was awful. I got two majors in four years, where people spend seven on one. My school's gen eds were a joke, they were so specified that if you changed your major (even during freshman year) you added another year, at least.

Willis would have liked it there. Lots of feminism and white knighting.
>>
>>84344329
Well, Willis supposedly spent one year in university before dropping out. Maybe he spent the rest of his education at one of those kinds of colleges?
>>
>>84344350
I'm starting to think I went to a technical school.
mst.edu
I went to a real college, it's a branch of University of Missouri. I got bachelor's in Math and Econ.
>>
>>84344402
Yeah, technical schools aren't colleges. They just pretend to be.

As for Missouri S&T, I went to just plain Mizzou. Though I'm going back this fall for a graduate degree. I feel like the only reason I was accepted was because they're strapped for cash after the BLM protests.
>>

>4 dead cops in dallas

jesus christ stop the ride I want to get off
>>
>>84344444
Nice quints there, buddy.
Yeah, University of Missouri system sucks.
Also, you probably got in because since they're a public school they accept pretty much whoever. I got a 32 ACT and high school 3.75 gpa, and ended up sitting between a 25 and 35 in some classes. Realistically though, from the difficulty of our classes, we shouldn't have accepted anyone below a 29
>>
>>84344554
Well, I HAVE been posting in /pol/ all night...

>>84344581
That's true, but it's still the grad program. That suffered alongside the incoming freshman numbers.
They probably took in anybody who was willing to pay to go to their school.
>>
>>84344605
I realized I sounded kind of mean. I wasn't trying to imply that you're retarded.
I'm sure you're a smart dude (after all, you're discussing a webcomic on 4chan). Best of luck with the grad school. And if you didn't know, there's an all girls school in Colulmbia called 'Stephen's College'. It's pretty much open season for you.
>>
>>84344648
Oh, no problem. I'm probably retarded somehow.

And yeah, I know about Stephens. But to the best of my knowledge they have a third-wave feminist bent. Also lesbians, maybe.
>>
>>84344670
Not sure about that. My sister goes there, and she goes out with dudes. Wouldn't be surprised if she was bi though. Sometimes her friends hit on me when I'm visiting my parents and she's back.

I ignore them because I know what kind of people my sister hangs out with. Worse than pleb taste

Anyways, worst that happens is they say no. Or you find yourself a lady wing-man.

This is probably some of the best characterization for Carla in the comic's run, if just because it's something other than:
1. Transness (good, but hardly a full personality)
2. I'm an asshole, and proud of it, and somehow this doesn't make me the worst character (The other half of her personality, and most of what we've seen so far)

>>84354193

We had a trans bridesmaid at our wedding. She's much more visibly out about it now, I'm sure she's dealt with some terrible shit as a result, but she recently brushed off the tumblr trans community as "a bunch of crazy kids who want to feel important." Something tells me most trans people out there would fucking hate Carla.
>>
>>84354311

My boyfriend's ex is trans (they split when she came out, turns out he doesn't like girls, even if they have penises) and we've talked about our experiences with bigotry a few times. I actually brought up Studygate and she flat-out said that Mary seems more like an otherwise-tolerant person who just wanted to hurt Carla than an actual bigot. People flip out and say all sorts of offensive shit, it's really hard to judge someone based on what they do in the heat of the moment. If Willis wanted Mary to be a full-blown bigot she should have been much, MUCH more openly hostile to Carla for her being trans, the moment she knew she could get away with it.

I know it's supposed to be funny, but Amber is a legit violent vigilante with a troubled past who is undergoing a sort of psychotic break. For someone like that, writing guro fanfic is a serious red flag.
>>

Amber is a white woman and thus oppressed. It's fine unless she attacks Carla.

>>
>>84365469

I thought Willis didn't need him anymore.

>>84365542
Yeah, given everything that we've seen regarding Amber, the fact that she's written guro fanfiction means that she's probably wet when she thinks about Sal dying by her own hands.

Oh my god, do you think she was turned off when she stabbed Sal in the hand? Jesus Christ, Amber's fucked up. Willis shouldn't be treating guro as a punchline.

According to the latest porn comic, she writes self-insert fanfiction of Amazi-Girl.
>>
>>84366244
>writes fanfiction of her having lesbian sex with herself
If that's supposed to be a joke then it's a pretty good one.
>>
>>84366273
I should have worded it better.

She writes Amazi-Girl porn, where she is obviously Amazi-Girl and some faceless dope is the stand-in for Danny. And apparently Danny read the fanfiction as well.

Or at least, that's the implication. In reality, both parties should have suffered some kind of nausea having sex upside-down, hanging from a rope.
>>
>>84366185
I figured it had to do with the comment.

Given Amber's mental state, I wouldn't be surprised if lesbian sex with Amazi-Girl is next.

I assume the reason for posting the comment was to showcase one of Cerberus's weirder posts. It was in relation to Carla insulting Mary and God in multiple regards.

I honestly hope Willis' keyboard explodes and destroys his hands one day, depriving him of the ability to obliviously type pointless snark towards any who dare criticize him. He's fun to laugh and and inept in everything he does but the way he views the world and seems to treat everyone else makes him a pretty repugnant person.
>>
>>84317685
So a person has to understand the personal life and history of the author of this comic to even have a clue what the fuck the main character is referencing. I know it's not Becky being Becky, but to me, this is a level of awful writing that goes beyond most of his normal shit.
>>
>>84331669
That's exactly correct.

also, no, I don't have anything against christianity myself. it brings happiness and peace to a lot of people and I respect that, it's just not for me.

>>
>>84368481
not him, but...
I spent years writing a high school slice of life webcomic called 'step 2'.

of the 4 main characters, 3 of them began as reflections of various parts of myself and my personality. I wrote what I knew, and I wrote the characters reacting in the same ways that I would.

of course, I was writing this comic for about 8 years and they developed over time, becoming their own 'people', but it really is common as fuck and not that conceited, especially when you've not yet developed enough as a writer.
>>
>>84368507
Are you saying Willis did this thing where he was simply writing aspects of himself across several characters? Or did he actually star in his own comics? Because I would argue a physical manifestation of the author is not the same as what you are describing.

oh, you misunderstand. I wasn't defending willis STILL writing himself. I was explaining that it's a commonly done thing. the fact he's still doing it however many years later just further demonstrates that he's a terrible writer who either can't or won't grow as a person and as a writer.

>>84368713
don't forget about his blue haired doppleganger that's shown up in DoA

>>84368564
I was just thinking along those lines. Past a certain point a writer should be able to exorcise his demons through his work along with finding some themes to write about and around. But you can't just go on about the same old shit over and over again. Gotta move on some time, which Willis is clearly still not capable of doing after all these years (unless his previous comics didn't feature muh christians, progressiveness at all cost and the usual things you expect from him in DoA). His childhood was fucked up, okay. He is fucked up because of that, alright. He's still rambling about it, why ?

Just be happy Willis, enjoy your life or something. Write some characters being happy instead of being depressed jerks.

Plus, I think it's fairly obvious that he was never almost raped and that he never rode on the back of a motorcycle in a physics-defying chase sequence.

I always find it a bit distasteful of him to say he is writing Joyce autobiographically, because he has no idea what it's like to be a young woman in college, and the crap he puts her through is so unrealistic as to be insulting.

Joyce is written as a young, innocent, naïve and very brave girl who's willing to reconsider her whole views on life and people for the sake of her friends. You can't really get mad at her because she doesn't know about the world and she tries her best to comprehend it.
I don't find the way he writes her as an autobiographical character merely distasteful : it's just baffling and hypocritical to use a character like that as a stand-in for his life experiences.
As you said, not only is having a female character represent a male weird since the experience isn't the same, but mostly, could you imagine Joyce if she was a man ?
>I came here to find a bride
>I wanna fug but no I can't just hide all this puss from me pls
>I put myself through embarrassing situations all the time
>I'm a whimp pls forgive me for being a white christian
If Joyce was written as a man, to truly reflect Willis' life, it would be ridiculous and pathetic, even more so than it already is.
I wonder if anyone ever gave him shit for that manipulation, outside from here ?
>>
>>84373305
There's nothing wrong with using a character of the opposite sex as an autobiographical character. I agree that Willis using Joyce is probably covering for the fact that people find such behavior less creepy coming from a woman than a man.

That being said I really can't dislike it that much since I had a friend in college who was similar to Joyce, super Christian, super sheltered, on a manhunt, and she's a pretty great person. I really think it's mostly that due to the various things he's admitted over the years that we can't separate Willis from his characters. If Willis had a very low-key online personality and was less specific about how he uses his personal experiences to form his characters I don't think anyone care as much.

>>84372150
Good job making the colors less garish, it helps a lot.
>>
>>84373305
>>84373638

His original comics (It's Walky and shit) were somewhat similar, involving Joyce having to reconcile a fairly fundie upbringing with the realities of life and such.

I recall it handled it alot better too. Maybe Willis should stick with outlandish sci-fi shit; nerdy shut-in nutcases aren't fit to write slice-of-life stories, if this is any indication.
>>
>>84373638
>it's mostly that due to the various things he's admitted over the years that we can't separate Willis from his characters
Joyce is autobiographical. That's written on his site, as a warning so people won't question what the fuck is going on with the plot. I don't about the others, I guess there's a bit of Willis in every one of them, but reading the many strips with Joyce in them is like watching an anime sol with cute girls doing cute things: it's shit, it doesn't make any sense, but there's waifu potential and the power of moe to ease it up.

I don't doubt that people like Joyce exist in real life, but Willis isn't Joyce. She's just a kawaii self insert who acts like a cunt half the time with other characters (though that's a common trait they almost all share) and gets a pass for it because she doesn't know jackshit about the world.
>>
>>84374104
Being a cunt implies intent to be malicious. At her worst, Joyce just says things she thinks are just being a good Christian, but everyone else finds kind of dickish.
>>
Aw, criminy, my posts have been deleted. Am I banned?
>>
>>84374233
Having no self-awareness and saying inconsiderate things over and over again also qualifies you for being a cunt, especially when everyone around tells you to cut that crap. At least it gets old very fast. Doesn't help that all the characters act like dicks to each other for sometimes no reason at all, or just for the sake of a punchline or shock value.
>>
>>84374790
Joyce has shown that she is capable of being remorseful over saying something stupid. The worse Joyce has done is pull that stupid "How do we KNOW that fossils are that old?" shit on Dina, who promptly glared at her and pointed out that Joyce was being dumb as politely as possible.

Compare that to Sal, who pulls the race card on her twin brother, yet calls Danny "Wonderbread" without a trace of irony. Even worse, look at Roz, Carla or Ruth, who go out of their way to be unpleasant because it proves some nebulous point.
>>
>>84374759

Did they involve comments, Twitter posts by Willis, etc.?

If so, the mods are autistic fucks about it. I think they might be fans.
>>
>>84374893
Yeah all of the deleted comments were screencaps from the comments section or his tumblr.
>>
>>84374881
I guess Joyce is one the least worst character then ? Maybe I'm too used to paying attention to what people say and how they react. Nevertheless, this comic is fascinating, even though I hate it.
>>
>>84375024
You have to remember that in-universe only five weeks have passed. For Joyce to still lack self-awareness and being inconsiderate make sense, it's just that from an external perspective she's stagnant. I think it's why Willis has ramped up the drama with the attempted rape and car chase, he has to artificially accelerate Joyce changing as a person.
>>

Come on man... don't compare that to this. Even when Dave Sim was writing essays into his comics he didn't pretend they weren't essay.s

It's hard to imagine this drastic of a change only taking that one year of college.

If I were Willis, I think I'd be angrier at college for popping his happy little bubble.
>>
>>84374943
The mods tend to delete those. I think it's possible to discuss the content of the comment if you copy and paste it with commentary.
>>
>>84375287
Definitely. It just sucks that this poor girl has changed so much in just a month. I'd be terrified if I were her parents. I don't blame her mom at all for wanting to pull her out of school.
>>
>>84378436

No, they've deleted those too.
>>
>>84379383
Are the mods fans or is this like a removal of ponies thing due to historic drama incitement?
>>
>>84379247
In spite of everything she's coping rather well. Honestly all Joyce really needs is some counseling, which any large university should offer through its medical services.
>>
>>84379705
Definitely. But if I were her mother, I would be pretty concerned. It's easy for us to see what she's using to cope. All her mom is seeing is that Joyce is in distress and has been through a lot. Her parents can definitely sense the changes about her, and they have no idea how to deal with it. They're probably fairly afraid to send her back. It's only been a few weeks. Imagine what she'll be like by Christmas.

It's funny that the lefts parrots this yet did nothing but shit on Sarah Palin relentlessly.

I guess they meant we have to have a LIBERAL female president
>>
>>84379705
Roz, in a surprisingly non-cunty moment, gave Joyce a number for a therapist. Joyce hasn't seen that therapist yet, of course, because that would mean something good might happen to her.
>>84380052
To be fair, pretty much everything that comes out of Palin's mouth is stupid and/or crazy. Mind you, I'm from Britbongistan, so we've been disabused of the notion that a female leader is inherently better for the country a LONG time ago.
>>
>>84379910
From the perspective of her parents, all Joyce has done is refuse to stop being Dorothy's friend because they disapproved and has been angry and upset following Ross pointing a gun at her and kidnapping Becky. They don't know about the attempted rape nor have they been in a situation where the fallout from that is apparent.
>>
>>84380175
You can easily see that she carries herself differently. Rather than being thrilled to see her family, she's been bristly and distant. She also directly made a comment about her mom being weird and also cursed--when her mom was on the other side of the door.
>>
>>84380123
C'mon now, Thatcher had some good ideas, she just took everything way too far.

Joyce seeing a therapist would also mean that Willis would have to learn what therapy entails and considering his dismissiveness towards medical professionals and his desire to put as little effort as possible into his work that's unlikely to happen.
>>
>>84380244
To be fair, she started off friendly, but her mom wouldn't even hug her because she had something in the oven, and her brother was just... I can't even believe that Willis could be THAT crass. Nobody would ever treat their sister like that after something so horrible.

Willis is an only child, right?
>>
>>84380244
Which is a direct result of Ross kidnapping Becky, not that the college is putting Satan in her brain. If this were a different writer I'd be inclined to believe that Carol is projecting and in denial, but even with things being what they are her parents are only reacting to the fall out of what Ross did. It's not college that's changed Joyce, it's that less than a week ago a family friend pointed a gun at her and that her parents and people at her church are being really dismissive about it.
>>
>>84380620
I guess with how far apart all of this is, it's really hard to tell which part ends and which part begins, as far as Joyce's interactions with her parents go.
>>
>>84380500
in IRC he once mentioned that he has siblings, who have also disowned their parents.
>>
>>84380701
Three major appearances by Joyce's parents are when she moved to college, the Parent's Day arc, and this arc.

Willis actually wrote a pretty decent psychological response from Joyce in regards to everything. She's trying to force a sense of normality and avoids or rejects anything that challenges it, even when such behavior isn't what she wants to do.
>>
>>84380868
I feel bad for his parents. They most likely didn't deserve that.

>>84380893
Yes, she seems relatively reasonable in a lot of her response to the situation.

I do hope she goes to therapy, but that would mean Willis would have to go to a therapist and see what it's like. And then he would end up portraying it as something horrible and thus scaring his readers away from getting help. There's no winning.
>>
>>84380868
So is Willis going to unthinkingly out one of his siblings as trans?
>>
>>84382277
>And then he would end up portraying it as something horrible and thus scaring his readers away from getting help.

Might be worth it for the Cerberus essay detailing how psychiatrists oppressed her by demanding several years of counseling and gradual transitioning before they'd sign off on hormones and SRS but it's okay because she just orders bulk hormones from Indonesia and found a guy in Mexico who does vaginoplasty for cheap.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOHCa0GCqqI
>>
>>84382283
I really kind of hope so for the sake of Willis learning to keep his mouth shut, but I would be mortified on the behalf of his sibling.

Who am I kidding? I'm mortified on the behalf of his family because he's related to them.
>>
>>84383641
I'm kinda conflicted about his parents. While it's pretty obvious that Willis has a skewed perspective of them, I also have zero doubts that they're hardcore Jesus Camp-type fundamentalists who are better socialized versions of Willis in the opposite political direction.
>>
>>84382420
The worst part about that statement is that I honestly can't tell if you're joking or not.
>>
>>84383829
I wrote it so that it comes off as blackly humorous, but I'm not joking. On the one hand the medical community has very good reasons why transitioning should be prefaced by extensive counseling and gradual implementation, on the other hand trans people have a point that the long wait makes the process more difficult psychologically and financially, and can leave them more vulnerable to discrimination.
>>
>>84380500
>To be fair, she started off friendly, but her mom wouldn't even hug her because she had something in the oven, and her brother was just...
Yeah that stuff was so heavy-handed, instead of showing her family as caring but disagreeing with her new ideals, he made sure that they didn't even show basic interactions that convey affection and concern.

I've said this before, but if Hank ever 'turns' on Joyce, it'll be way more impactful than her mom or brother, because he's showed that he really cares for her. I doubt it'll happen, though. Not because I think betrayals are particularly good writing, they often feel cheap, but with how Willis writes, I don't think he's going down that path.
