I really like Daisy.

>>89396466
I don't, mostly because Willis is only using her as a one-note wacky lesbian because he can't write lesbians as anything other than wacky and whimsical or tortured and DEEP.
She should have been given the journalist role that Dorothy took.

>>89396502

It's not even the anachronism that bothers me anymore, not since this strip was posted to /fit/.

>>89396528
>Toedad
>Toegrave
That's how we differentiate the two.

Also, I can't wait to see how Willis conclusively brushes away Becky's desire to be a generic scientist, without actually going into a specific area of focus.

>>89396536
>not since this strip was posted to /fit/
Please elaborate

>>89396567
When Patreanon first posted the strip to these threads, the first thing that came to my mind was if this was even possible to do. So I posted it to /fit/ and got a few replies, mostly in the range of "Even if you're an Olympic athlete training since childhood, you only MIGHT be able to accomplish this feat."

And here we go. More twisty-turns in the love polygon we have going.

>>89396672
>Joe's do-list is a live-updated online feed

Truly the man is a paragon of the 21st century.

>>89396672
Nice to see Raidah again after twelve thousand years.

And I've said it before, but I still can't get over how we're supposed to just accept Jacob as a cast member after not having had a strong focus on him in years, and whatever other times he was featured having been little more than to be ogled at by Sarah. Hell, I don't even know how we're supposed to accept Jacob and Joe as being friends when this is the most we've seen them together in a long time.

Hell, if I were a newer reader, my first question would be about who this new girl is.

>>89396672
Does Jacob not know that he shouldn't talk about how "compelling" other girls are in front of his girlfriend?

>>89396917
For a guy that just finished a speech about not liking being a sex object, he' doesn't really have a lot of other positive traits, like foresight.

>>89396672
>How remiss.

I'm no English major, but that just seems like awkward speech. I'd say 'how remiss of me" even if I was even trying to sound smart using that word.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

>>89396917
"Compelling" isn't used to describe how attracted to someone you are, though.

>>89397019
I thought the exact same thing.

>>89396672
In panel five we see Jacob scrunch his shoulders together in an attempt to understand how nice it must be to not have bodily proportions approaching that of a Warhammer 40k model. Also I think I figured out why Jacob's proportions are so noticeably off while Joe, who shares the same problem, doesn't have such issues; Jacob's head is enormous. Look at panel 3, his ears nearly line up with his armpits.

>>89396917
>>89396964
He does clarify that compelling refers to her punching a kidnapper, not her sweater puppies or birthing hips.

>>89396672
Am I reading this right? Did Jacob just tell Joe that Joyce should totally be on his "do" list?

Also, Raidah is a cunt.

>>89397262
Joe only likes women he has a chance with, but Jacob is trying to tell him there are non-sexual reasons for wanting to hang out with her.

>>89396672

Aren't Joe and Joyce supposed to be friends? To the point she turns to him with actual problems and seeks advice? Why is he acting like this about her?

>>89397262
>>89397340
I think it's more Joe trying to keep up appearances, we've been shown that they converse and keep in contact with each other before.

>>89396190
Hah Joyce goes in for the steal.

>>89397340
He was already texting with her as a friend, shown in a bunch of strips. Why is this supposed to be a revelation for him?
>>89397398
Exactly. It's weird. He's acting like they weren't already close non-sexually.

All their religious debates end with argumentative Sex in which they continue to debate.

>>89397398
Yes, but it's largely private moments where she turns to him and the two of them talk. Publicly, Joe's still very much Joe and he has his image he wants to maintain.

Image related, Carol and Joyce make similar teasing faces before they go on to fuck a man endlessly and have several children with him.

>>89396672
>She wears a wrist brace from punching out a *kidnapper*
Seems like a missed chance with Joe not responding that Joyce also punched him in the face... repeatedly. Maybe something about everything looking like a nail when all you have is a hammer.

>"Shudder!" onomatopoeia.
meh

>>89397398
Joe does not like encouraging non-sexual contact with women.

>>89397534
>Image related, Carol and Joyce make similar teasing faces
Oh, damn! That similarity is uncanny.

>>89397465
>He's acting like they weren't already close non-sexually.
Neither Joyce nor Joe as far as I can tell have made how frequent they text apparent to their close circles.

Pretty sure most of you saw this one, but here it is anyway.

The most recent Patreon bonus strip.

>>89397743
I honestly don't get it.

>>89397760
I think I'm missing something. I think the joke here is that Mrs. Mom is a staunch Christian and conservative?

>>89397800
Oh, hey, this is new. To me, at least.
According to http://www.dumbingofage.com/tag/kaitlin/ Kaitlin is the girl who Becky tried shagging up with.

I have a feeling she'll be making a visit to IU at some point in the future, at least if Willis is choosing to set up her character through Patreon bonus strips.
Actually, that could be a worthwhile Patreon donation incentive: A weekly series of strips following a character whose backstory or adventures would otherwise be ignored in the main DoA story.

>>89397849
>I honestly don't get it.
This was probably setting the stage for that tedious story line where Becky was trying to see Dina's head without her hat on.

>>89397800
She's the girl who had a physical relationship with Becky and then pinned it all on her when they got found out.

I guess this is her punishment? Having a huge crush on dirty blonde Robin and not being able to express it because she has to be closeted to not fuck up her life?

Or maybe it's just contrasting her being kinda miserable but safe with Becky's freedom?

Or maybe it's just Willis having more lesbian content because that sells?

>>89397919
Jesus, how long has it been since that girl showed up in real time?

>>89397840
How lazy.
At least have Becky eyeing her up.

>Actually, that could be a worthwhile Patreon donation incentive: A weekly series of strips following a character whose backstory or adventures would otherwise be ignored in the main DoA story.
It is, but it's monthly, and the majority of his patrons are fuckwits.

This month will be Alex, since that whole "the real Alex is trans" thing went down like the day before the poll was posted.

>>89397919
Willis seems to think that dorm room doors don't automatically lock.

>>89397961
Other than in flashbacks, she's only been in one strip, and that was back in 2012. Otherwise, she's been in bonus Patron strips.

>>89397993
Wait, so Willis makes a poll to see who gets backstory and who doesn't?
That's kind of a cop-out.

>>89397743
so that scalp fetish sure is a real thing, huh

>>89396190
>in the original comic Joyce fucked Walky, a half-black nerd
>in the current comic Joyce will fuck a full black chad who is also a Christian

And then we get to have the chapter where Joyce's mom doesn't like the idea of her daughter getting BLACKED

>>89396672

I can just hear that nutcase tranny Cerberus throwing a fit over Joe once more.

>Wait, so Willis makes a poll to see who gets backstory and who doesn't?

Yeah, here's the main post.

Right now, it's actually PENNY of all people winning with 46 votes (don't know how I missed that one), Alex at 31, Jocelyne at 23, Ruth at 15, Dana at 14, Bonnie MacIntyre at 13, Riley at 11, "Toedad" at 9, and Jeph Jaques attention whoring himself with 4 votes.

Damn, we've really got a backlog on "stolen" Fuckzone Pinups by now.

We need a donor to liven these threads up.

>>89398235
You got $25 to throw away? That's what it takes to get into Willy's Fuckzone.

>>89398217
So it's one bonus strip of his own design and one bonus strip of the Patrons' choice.

I like my idea more.

>>89398146
That was supposed to be Joe who BLACKS Joyce, dammit!

>>89398235
I'd do it, but it's $25 for one month.
Maybe we should try and find somebody on /d/ willing to help.

>>89398277
>>89398282

Yeah, I mean there's GOT to be somebody with a Slipshine account who'd be willing to toss a handful of pinups our way.

Unless you have to pay specifically for Willy's shit.

>>89398314
>Yeah, I mean there's GOT to be somebody with a Slipshine account who'd be willing to toss a handful of pinups our way.

Try /r/ m8. I can't be bothered right now, but maybe someone there might help us out.

fuck it. I'll do it. What do you need?

>>89398217
WHO'S PENNY???

>>89398375

If you've gotta pay don't bother, I'd hate to encourage Willy's shit.

Penny is a teacher who's been shacking up with Joe.

>>89398482
He's going to go the "Dumbing of Age is all I have left until I can think of a new universe for the characters to thrive in so that I can slowly abandon DoA and eventually end the comic in an unceremonious and anticlimactic fashion, so I'll just string readers along about who ends up with whom in the end" way.

I'm angry! Why now bring her back?!

>>89398542
Ask the fans who voted for her, I guess.
At least it's one way of seeing characters return. I'd rather have it be a weekly series of comics rather than a single bonus strip.

He's doing this comic to be lazy, so why not let the readers decide who actually gets developed? That's even less effort he has to put out! Only develop the characters people irrationally care about!

Well, yeah. Of course you do.

There's really no point in saying you have reasons unless you plan to share what those specifically ARE. The fact that youve stated you have an account would imply that you have a reason for it.

>>89401237
It's a beat of Jocelyne trying to decide what version to tell her mom. It works fine as a small character/relationship detail.

>>89401390

Her? That's a guy. His mom even tells him that.

>>89398210
It's a reference to Mike Pence.

Before he became vice president and after he became a radio host, he did a lot of stuff that was for the sake of virtue signalling to other conservatives to build a reputation for himself, even if he knew it'd fail as an act in itself.

>>89397743
The joke is lesbians.

>>89397760
The joke is christians.

>>89397800
The joke is lesbians again, probably. I don't recognize that girl.

>>89397840
The joke is the girl doesn't look her age because she's hot. Also probably lesbians? Not a lotta variety in Willis' humor.

>>89397800

I can't help but think he's trying to call out or shame some aspect of society in a retarded way but that's probably just a knee-jerk reaction.

It's more likely just an attempt to contrast Becky with this Kaitlyn girl. Becky runs around screaming "I'm a lesbian" and is happy while this girl internalizes it and doesn't say anything.

>>89400460
Yeah, it's on purpose. it's just not that funny. Joe has normal pubes in the Roz one, though.

>>89401676

> Joyce: terrified of extramarital sex, but no inhibitions on hooking other couples up whatsoever

>>89403822

In Joyce's mind she's jumpstarting a romance that will last through the ages and beyond.

Rather than a couple fucks before they break up because her tits looks weird and he's into being dominated.

>>89403928
So what you're saying is
as long as someone else sets Joyce up with her future husband, it's okay.

Let's do this. *unzips dick*

>>89404051

I mean, Biblically, you can do whatever as long as you marry her after.

It's what I tell my Christfag gf, anyway

>>89404091
Okay, okay, but what if I just "agree" to get married after and she says she's on her danger time so I promise to pull out but I only said that because I didn't get any action in a long time and had a really bad itch so I stay in until the last moment and she's suddenly calling me 3 months later what does that mean?

>>89404242

Concubines were an acceptable practice as well.

>>89397529
>>89397586
The problem is that, like with the publicity of Carla's transgendersness, is that we have no idea what is actually known. You cannot base any beliefs off of observations of the comic alone, because Willis does not show us pertinent information or interactions. For all we know, everyone knows that they talk via text.

>>89401849
But you have to admit it's them 99% of the time. When you think of people gleefully relying on fake news it's gonna be either christians or conservatives. Usually the redneck amalgamation of the two.

Like I said, generally true. The wage gap exists, just not as most people think of when they hear "wage gap". We just need a more equitable distribution of jobs. Once there are more women in the higher paid positions, everything will be fine.

I never said that the jobs shouldn't be distributed on merit, its just that qualified women are commonly passed over for jobs in lieu of men. We just need to fix that issue, and everything will iron itself out. When all persons are invited to participate in society, it strengthens it.

I didn't realize that there were so many /pol/tards in here, even if DOA is a shitty comic.

>>89405457
Is this going to turn into a 'Minority X is known for Y, so I shouldn't hire anyone who's in minority X' conversation? Because I doubt that'll be pleasant for either of us.

>>89405530
>its just that qualified women are commonly passed over for jobs in lieu of men
Maybe because qualified women are prone to taking half a year off of maternity leave.
There isn't some magical solution that says "employers just need to be less sexist geez"

>>89405531

I don't know enough about the entire details of such things to say I'm definitively right but my general belief is that, while equality is a fine thing as far as opportunity or justice goes, it's simply nonexistent as far as nature. Individuals aren't equal to other individuals and it seems reasonable to assume races aren't equal to other races. And no, I'm not thinking on terms of hierarchy or tiers of worth.

My prevailing example is, you'd get a Canis Familiaris to pull your sled, but will you choose a Lab or a Husky?

>>89405618
But it literally is. You can't punish a woman by impeding her career if she wants to have a child. You have to be understanding of this fact, and *not be a sexist piece of shit*. That's all there is to it.

>>89405836
Work doesn't just disappear when a woman wants to fuck off and have a baby. Whatever job it is they were doing very rarely is able to just be put on fucking hold.

>>89405965
So bring on a temp worker, if it can't be shared out among the rest of the staff. It's not that hard. You can also have them handle some of the work remotely from home.

>>89405836

That's naive as fuck, m8.

You think a woman in the position to hire or fire won't think of the same things? Weigh the pros and cons and choose based on that?

I'll tell you the fantasy world: the one where feelings reign over the simple logic of "What will benefit most and what won't".

>>89406007
>go through the hiring process just to get a temp worker to replace someone for a few months
>or increase the workload on all your other employees
Yeah nah, fuck that. As someone who knows the cost of hiring and training someone, not a chance. Rather just stick with the person who won't disappear for months at a time.

>>89405530
Willis is an amalgamation of a bunch of shitty liberal stereotypes, along with a few unpopular nerd stereotypes like 'cares more about toys than real people' and 'completely unaware of how stupid he looks'. That sort of thing attracts /pol/ like rotting carcasses draw vermin.

Just be glad that Willis hasn't done Carla strips lately.

>>89405690
I know you're trying to not be racist, but that's still pretty fucking racist.

Let's ignore the fact that comparing dog breeds (which are, effectively, the result of decades or centuries of genetic engineering by humans to emphasize certain traits) to naturally occurring human races is a shitty comparison. Human races have very few large-scale functional differences. At most, you have some races that have overall height differences and slightly different proportions which may cause some trouble if you want to go to the Olympics for a certain sport. That's literally it. The differences in physical strength are negligible and the differences in mental capacity (which is what matters in most jobs anyways) are nonexistent.

>>89405965
>>89406024
>>89406063
So, the underlying message of your argument(s) is that if a woman can't prove herself to be so effective that her skill outweighs the possibility of having to give her 12 weeks of maternity leave at some point, then she's basically fucked and should just give up and find a guy to support her?

>>89406138
No, I'm saying that there are reasons that one apparently equally skilled person might be chosen over another. It is a reason that has absolutely nothing do to with sexism, and everything to do with a company's bottom line.
There are plenty of professional women out there making their way in the corporate world. And I have all the respect in the world for them. But that doesn't change the facts.

>>89406083

>I know you're trying to not be racist, but that's still pretty fucking racist.

And there's absolutely nothing worse on earth than racism, is there?

All I'm doing is trying to be realistic and raising what I think is a potentially valid point. I could be wrong and if I am than more power to whoever, but I don't agree with a culture where even considering a view that could be construed as "bigoted" or "racist" (regardless of whether it is or isn't) is grounds for ridicule or blacklisting. It's not productive.

Jesus Christ, you guys, I was just joking about how Willis didn't bother trying to be subtle about Joyce's mom's religious and political leanings.

>>89406326
The idea you're working off of is "it seems reasonable to assume races aren't equal to other races". That idea has been the underlying basis of a staggeringly large amount of cruelty in human history, including a number of wide-scale high-impact incidents in the last century that we're still suffering the consequences of. It is an idea that has largely been founded on biased scientific evidence that has since been disproved, or misused religious ideas. If I'm saying that you're racist, then I and a good portion of the civilized world have seen your argument before, disagree with the basic premise behind it and that we have enough evidence to dismiss it out of hand.

And no, I didn't simply shut you down because you were being racist (and you fucking were). I could have very well just posted 'go back to /pol/', and I would have been justified in that, but I took the time to explain exactly why I disagree with your stance. And I'm more than willing to go into how most 'some races are better than other races' theory and research came from sources that have since been proven wrong.

Disagree with the point I made, if you must, but don't try to claim that I never made one.

>>89406605
Political derails are a dime a dozen here. That's what happens when you get 'liberals that disagree with Willis's specific take on progressivism' and 'conservatives who disagree with Willis outright' in the same place.

>>89406649
I'll give it that at least it's more nuanced than what goes on in /pol/.

>>89397840

jesus christ becky's face in that first panel is so unsettling.

>>89406792
Becky's face in any panel is unsettling. For some reason, Willis feels that it's okay if facial and cranial structures are ignored when it comes to Becky. He just HAS to make sure that one of her eyes is visible through her hair, no matter where exactly her hair is over her face.

>>89406616

If you perceived any undue vitriol I apologize, I wasn't particularly aiming it at you.

I reiterate that I deny a simple-minded assertion that "unequal" can be boiled down to "better or worse overall", because that's also not how reality works and the lowminded summation of concepts in such a manner is the basis for much of the cruelty you mentioned.

Overall these theoretical differences between groups of people, as you said before, are comparatively minimal and, for the time being, almost irrelevant. But I still find it a point of interest.

The assumption that every female candidate is going to go have a baby is part of what's sexist, though.

>>89408546
It's a pretty faithful assumption and let me tell you why. Societies that don't have children cease to exist

>>89408546

You gotta make assumptions if you're going to make decisions

>>89409147
We're overpopulated as it is. If literally half of the women in this country stopped having babies we'd be FINE.

>>89406937
I'd just prefer that you hit the books and get your facts straight before bringing something like that up so casually.

Things need to be discussed, yes, no matter how controversial they are. But they are controversial for a reason; in this case, a lot of recent history AND recent politics are wrapped up in what you're saying. So maybe save the stuff that will inevitably get people angry and cause trouble for when it's necessary and not just as a casual thought experiment.

>>89409823
> We
Nice meme. The only cultures in danger of overpopulation have no intention of slowing down

>>89409147
You can't assume every woman wants to have children. There are many, many of us that actively avoid having children. If you turn away women because there's a chance they might get pregnant, then you might as well turn away men in their 50s because they might get prostate cancer.

Just hire based on who's best for the job, because anyone can die or get signficant health problems that can cause them to stop working. At least women on maternity leave will eventually come back, and if they don't plan on doing so, you'd find out at the beginning of their maternity leave.

>>89396584
No, cooks don't get to wear the chef's hat. The hat isn't for any old person in the kitchen who cooks, it's a symbol of hierarchy, for people who actually went to chef school and earned the title, regardless of whether they're doing most of the cooking in the environment they're in or if they're working more in a supervising position. I doubt that Galasso has much right to wear it either, though, so whatever. I don't follow the comic very closely.

>>89402984

Never said the laws DIDNT. But the minor in this situation isn't POSSESSING it. Just transporting it from the kitchen to the person who ordered it, not DRINKING it. I see no problem with that.

We talked about this once, but Willis missed an opportunity with Rapin' Ryan to have him become brain-damaged after having been hit in the head twice by Sarah (and curb-stomped once (by Sarah)) and thus Sarah would have to feel some impact from her actions.

But nope.

>>89412574
Joyce's wrist might as well not be injured.

The only people who have suffered are Mary and, surprisingly enough, Becky. When Becky went to Joyce's house and church, she was ostracized. And Mary suffers for all of us.

You mean Asian men?

>>89414053
Despite how "progressive" Willis tries to be, he is nowhere near brave enough to (intentionally) include a person with any kind of mental deficiency. He refuses to say Dina has autism or anything.

There's no way he'd show brain damage or Down syndrome. He doesn't even have a character in a wheelchair, which is what you did in the 1990s when you wanted to have diversity. Extra points if the person in the wheelchair isn't white.

>>89416892
That's probably less about cowardice and more about laziness. With disabled characters you have a bare minimum of research you have to put into writing about their disability. Willis doesn't research things that aren't transformers.

>>89415758
It's funny, but in Shortpacked!, the men portrayed as the least desirable and unattractive by Willis were Faz and Ken. Both Asian men.

Never really thought about it, but that could be construed to be racist as hell. Has anyone called him out on that?

>>89416892
Beyond that you have the real risk of readers seeing a brain-damaged Ryan as a story about redemptive suffering.

Most black men end up with black women anyway or at the very least, most of their marriages are black on black. Plus porn viewing habits in the south skew towards ebony. I fail to find a reason to be super upset save for dating site stats, but most other races are at a disadvantage there too.

>>89415186
>>89418700
Black women do get crapped on a lot and tend to be painted very negatively in the media (despite how many wonderful, kind, drama-free black women there actually are).

I lean right, but I'd say Michelle Obama is the most prominent example of how the media can treat black women unfairly. She was Barack's arm-candy for the most part, and tried to make kids less fat. Despite being ineffective for the most part on both fronts, she was absolutely eviscerated by the far-right media time and time again as if she was someone who needed to be taken down a peg.

>>89419250
That had more to do with her politics than race.

>>89419250
I love how you attribute it to race, and not, y'know, because she was associated with the dreaded enemy Obama.
It's not like Melania hasn't received similar treatment from the left or anything. It's not like her and her children haven't received death threats before Trump even took office.

Pretty much any time you see a black woman on TV, she falls into one or several of some stereotypes:

1. sassy black woman
2. loud drama queen
3. angry black woman
4. overweight black woman
5. has too high of standards
6. man-crazy Jezebel
7. daddy issues
8. poor/low class/welfare queen
9. independent woman
10. baby mama/unwed teen mom
11. Mammy/Aunt Jemima
12. gold-digger
13. uneducated sister
14. all black people are athletic
15. Black Barbie
16. ratchet/ghetto
17. emasculator
18. not feminine

You might notice that a lot of these clash with each other. When you have this many conflicting stereotypes, you just have to put them aside.

Here's a little more about it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypes_of_African_Americans#Modern_stereotypes
and
https://youtu.be/yQO7XoANYb8

The hypersexual black woman is especially prominent in hip-hop and rap music videos, as well as older shows like "The Foxy Brown Show." And it reaches even as far back as Saartjie "Sarah" Baartman and the origins of "Jungle Fever."

Even Oprah and Michelle Obama (>>89419250) have been the subject of "angry black woman" accusations. Serena and Venus Williams are often referred to as being mannish

TV shows like "The Basketball Wives," "The Bad Girls Club," "Love and Hip-Hop," and "The Real Housewives" portray black women as being horrible gold-diggers that will claw your eyes out.

Black women are consistently neglected in popular women's magazines, like "Elle," "Vogue," and "Cosmopolitan."

(To be continued...)

>>89418868
>>89419995
Donna on "Parks and Recreation" is an overweight black woman who prioritizes sex and money. While she eventually gets more dimensions to her, she still perpetuates a lot of stereotypes.

Racism also prevents black entertainers (musicians, actors, etc.) from getting hired, so we get very few black entertainers. And people like Nicki Minaj and Beyonce are hyper-sexualized. Since we don't have a lot of visible black celebrities, people tend to take them as representations of all black people. It would be like if everyone assumed white people are smart because Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are white. (I know way more stupid white people than I know stupid black people.)

Remember all the times you've heard a black woman on TV threaten to pull someone's weave out (like on "America's Next Top Model" or even sitcoms) or "GURL, hold my earrings." See anything with Tyler Perry for stereotypes that involve black women being "ratchet" or "ghetto."

Whenever a black person is intelligent and articulate, they're accused of acting white and get called an "Oreo." This assumes that all black people are unintelligent.

I was a college professor for a bit, and my black students were the most interesting and tried the hardest. They actually gave a crap about their education. A lot of them came from bad situations, because education is not offered as much to areas that typically are full of black people.

While Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Tyra Banks are good black role models, black women are still often presented as all of these clashing stereotypes.

Honestly, just Google "negative stereotypes about black women," and you'll find way more than I can get into here.

Before anyone asks, I am a white woman.

I also had no idea how much I could say about this. I can write more about it, but this should be enough. I can do a linkdump if anyone wants to read more about it.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=examples+of+negative+stereotypes+of+black+women+in+the+media

>>89419995
Man, you and I interpret those kinda numbers very fucking differently. If there's that much variation in black female characters, then surely they don't need to worry about being stereotyped. The media already has a lot of variety.

>>89420061
I think the point is, you'd be hard pressed to name a few female black characters who don't fit SEVERAL of those stereotypes

>>89420061
The important thing here is that almost all of them are presented in a very negative light. Nearly every portrayal of a black woman on TV is of a combination of these negative stereotypes. They often have more than one of these traits at a time.

You might see a low-income, sassy, angry, overweight, uneducated, gold-digging black woman who's loud with a lot of drama and is a man-crazy Jezebel with daddy issues and a baby at home without a baby daddy.

They usually stack the bad things on top of each other.

This person says it more succinctly:

You know there's a white real housewives too? They film shitty people being shitty because it's entertaining. The whole list is no-win scenario given that a lot of this is broad interpretation and it isn't really focusing on specific characters. Even the Donna example is pretty weak. You're asking for characters with no flaws because even the smallest inkling of a character flaw would fall into this list regardless of how the character operates in their world. There's no room for anything here, if she isn't one thing on this list you'll just put her in another. Not masculine? put her in the barbie category. Not feminine? Put her in the masculine category. On welfareregardless of how the individual piece medium portrays it ? Welfare queen. Not on welfare? Independent womym!

I've looked up a few videos of black people getting into fights. Whenever you read the comments on those, it's never 'hey, look how stupid those people are'. It's 'hey, look at how stupid these niggers are', and then a bunch of stuff about how typical it is for them to be fighting.

>>89421548
Well, I mean, statistically it is pretty typical for them to be fighting.

>>89421612

Yes, like the type with hands that make fists. I'll give you that paraplegics probably don't fight much.

More typical, not sure if it's the average. But that really what stereotypes are, who does what more than another group. Doesn't inherently mean they all or do it or even most do it. Just enough to where it stands out. If people see trashy white girls fighting what do you think they call them? If the see people like Anthony Mackie or viola davis, what do they call them?

Hypersexuality is basically written into every non-white female stereotype except some Asians. It's the usual fetishizing the other laced together with objectifying the female bit. Generally shitty all around.

Your list of stereotypes is kind of spread out. You can basically consolidate all of that into 'general black stereotypes' (13, 14, 16, 18, 7, 9), 'so sassy she snaps her fingers in a Z formation' (1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 17) and ratchet hoe (6, 7, 8, 13, 16)

There are actually a fair amount of black entertainers. Like, a shitton. That's not a wholly positive thing, mind you. They usually get typecast into stereotypical roles, or they get shoved to the sidelines in favor of white musicians (like in the early days of records, when white people would record their own, generally inferior, versions of race music). But entertainment is a common avenue, and a well-traveled one.

And, as I always say, it's not bad that there are characters that adhere to that stereotype. Donna's an okay character from what I heard, for example, and a lot of black people have used the 'entertainer' stereotype But when those stereotypes are so persistent that people start trying to shove real people into them, regardless of whether they want to be put into that category, then we got a problem.

I hate to have to break up this lovely /pol/iti/co/l discussion about black woman stereotypes we've been having here, but...

Hey! It's new strip time, and....

oh.
oh no.....

Almighty VA Anon, I humbly request you do one or all of the above strips.

>>89422364
I'll see hwat I can do tomorrow

>>89422363
Is the joke that she's a bitch?
Or is this Willis reintroducing the part where Raidah's a bitch because we haven't actually SEEN Raidah in, like, five years?

>>89421808
Stereotypes are basically the cheat sheets that our minds use when we meet a new person and we don't know anything about them. Instead of getting to know them and basing our observations on actual fact, we use those cheat sheets to try and get a read on a person before they can even open their mouth

Racial ones? Generally not accurate. A lot of people get their stereotypes from either TV (which has a very narrow view of anyone who's not a standard class white American), or the news (which generally publicizes the worst parts of any race because that's what sells) or the handful of minority members who actually live near them (which gives them the undue pressure of having to represent their entire fucking race to their neighbors). And in unfortunate cases, they get their stereotypes from shitty internet forums populated by people who know just as little as they do about how the other side works. So they're generally ineffective, and since so many people rely on them nonetheless, it means that every interaction a racial/ethnic minority has with someone who's not familiar with their culture has an added level of difficulty. Never mind that the majority of stereotypes about non-Anglo Saxon people are generally negative as fuck.

Just to pick one, did you know that black people only accounted for a tenth of the actual watermelon consumption in America back in the 1990s? It was pushed by a few slavery apologists back in the mid 1800s, and mentioned in a few minstrel songs, and America fucking ran with it until every person complaining about lazy niggers would mention watermelon. And for that matter, blacks were originally stereotyped as being physically inferior to whites from the 1850s to the early 1900s. Then, when Jesse Owens and Joe Louis proved them wrong, they changed their tune to 'blacks are incredibly powerful, and given that they are untamed savages, they present a danger to our white American way of life'

That's how stupid stereotypes are.

>>89422363
I mean Sarah IS like human sandpaper, hell she'd be the first one to tell you. Her whole character is being abrasive and not building relationships with the community around her. Having someone not like that kinda makes sense.

But Radiah doesn't like Sarah because of a weed plotline from like, 6 years ago so that's all moot

>>89422363
Is Jacob supposed to be kind of a douche? Because from what we've seen of him in this arc he seems to be constantly humblebragging about his own attractiveness.

>>89422363
Raidah's eyes are in her forehead in panel 3 (and again in 5)... why? Why can't eyes just be where they're supposed to be, you fuck?

As for her "no jealously" attitude, this seems kinda okay, but I'm sure she'll be singing a different tune once Joyce and Sarah are sharing her favourite popsicle.

>>89422431
The joke is she is making an accurate observation about Sarah's personality.

>>89422363
It was nice of willis to let one of his children draw Raida's face in panel 3.

>>89422538
Exactly. If Jacob managed to break through Sarah's standoffishness and make her a friend, I'd bet Raidah'll be singing a tune other than "fffffhahaahahahaha"

Even if Jacob didn't have any sexual interest, I'm guessing Raidah's hate for Sarah will trump all

>>89398667
Why does Billie have six fingers?

>>89419250

Are you fucking kidding me? The media is overwhelmingly liberal. And they have bent over BACKWARDS to kiss her ass these past eight years. They downplay or refuse to make much if any point about her actions

Conservative media's comments about her have been strictly limited to her politics or her glaring behaviour. Like taking multiple expensive vacations every year or her $1000+ dresses or when she tries to bully children into eating the way she says when she is shown eating french fries, or when she makes comments about white people being the problem with America. These ARE legitimate issues with her. I know for a fact that Fox news or Rush Limbaugh have NEVER criticized her on a basis of her being black. Ever.

Moochelle, like her husband is a bully. And they LOVE to fling the term "racist" to bully anyone who criticizes or disagrees with them into submission

>>89422655
The dresses, at the very least, aren't things that she actually profits from. Everything the First Lady wears goes into the...Presidential Archives? It goes into some sort of vault as soon as she's done wearing it; that's the general policy.

And bloody hell, you know that if she started wearing sweats, the media would make a circus out of that too.

>>89419585

Good. It's about time we stopped coddling faggots. Obama cared about them only as a means to an end to advance his agenda.

Obama would throw the gays under the bus in a heartbeat if it was politically beneficial to him

>>89422538
>>89422583
When Willis draws characters with tiny beedy black eyes like Becky, they tend to float all over their face.

>>89422614
Judging Jacob's facial expression, I'm almost certain we're being set up for Raidah to be dumped and forgotten and for Sarah and Jacob to start a fling.

You know Trump is pro-LGBT

Caitlyn Jenner was at the inauguration and he's on record for saying she could use whatever bathroom she wanted if she visited the white house

>>89422775
Like how Trump threw US intelligence agencies under a bus, only to try and play nice as soon as he got into office?

>>89422363
I really, really dislike Raidah. She's written as such a cocky bitch.

The fact that she offhandedly dismisses Joyce and Sarah as being capable of being objects of desire annoys me. The fact that she is so cocksure when she's like 120 grit sandpaper where Sarah is like 80 grit annoys me. The thing that annoys me the most is that she pretends she is above jealousy. I've met a few people who've said this. They were all liars.

Hot Shot: The Autobot who would be Hot Rod had there not been one already.

No. Not quite. I dont believe everything a biased media tries to tell me to belive

>>89422834
He's pro-LGBT as far as using them as helpless, weak victims of the TRUE superpredators, muslims. It's a means of dividing progressives, like how an Altmer might pit Argonians against Khajiit even though the real problem is the damn Dunmer.

>>89423001
His speech to the CIA, complete and unedited, has been recorded. You probably know how to get to his Twitter. Feel free to check up on what I said for yourself, but I don't have time to dig up evidence for things he actually said.

>>89423046
Basically. The idea that he supports anybody besides himself and people who'll support his businesses is frankly absurd.

Good gravy, last night's password was "boyspizzaretreat". Long as fuck.

And I can't be arsed to find tonight's password either, so fuck me.

>>89423001
>I dont believe everything a biased media tries to tell me to belive
This line always cracks me up. So what do you do? Do you immediately believe the opposite? Do you go to the magical land where there is a media outlet in existence with no bias? Or do you "do your own research" which involves looking at other biased information sources?

Oh, no, I bet you go to the source of the story and get your facts firsthand, even in warzones. That must be it.

>All these faggot libshits
/co/ is beyond saving

>>89423046
>Trump supports everything I believe!
>Unless it's something I don't then it's a master scheme lol 4d chess!

ok

>>89423123
At this point, I think Willis or his lackeys might be lurking here, and fucking with you. It must piss him off to see hits on his website to pages he hasn't posted yet.

Hell, the "Romans" one could only be sussed out if you knew the book of the bible the quote they were arguing about was from. It was nowhere in the script.

>>89422886
She was certainly snippy about Joe and Jacob having lunch together.

>>89422439
The watermelon thing, and a lot of the general racist depictions of black people, originally were general denigration of southern and rural people post-Civil War. They transitioned to being exclusively about black people during the Great Migration. You can still see the overlap between derogatory stereotypes of black people and southerners. I'm not sure where you're getting the physical inferiority thing from, the "powerful savages out to destroy the white American way of life," mentality long predates the Civil War.

>>89422886
I started following these threads with Toedad and haven't gone back and read much DoA prior to that story, but stripped of history this strip reads like rather normal couple stuff except for Raidah's very weird expression in panel five.

>>89422529
I think he might be subtly referencing his sex addiction (if all things are sexually equal with the Walkyverse, which Willis said they are).

We are seeing Jacob, post high school sex marathon, which he hated apparently.

He knows he's a sexy diglett, but he hates it, but he still kinda loves it, but he hates that he loves it. Or something.

>>89423351
It seems more like that in this universe Jacob's had some real bad shit go down with his ex's.

>>89423274
Ah, yeah, I mean you can trace the 'savage' stereotype back to the Birth of a Nation and even further.

I meant more that blacks were generally considered inferior to whites in every way, including physically. Their danger to white people was more out of numbers and inherent subhuman ferocity and the fact that they'd go after the white women rather than physical superiority. It was only after black athletes started gaining prominence that blacks started getting seen as fit, which was immediately bent into being a bad thing.

>>89422428
>I'll see hwat I can do
I'd love to hear you read a character in a Hank Hill voice. Like >>89396190. Do Joyce as Hank.

>>89423133
I find the best way to go about things is to take in multiple sources and come to your own conclusion. You know, get a holistic view and then apply some critical thinking.

The real problem occurs when biased sources are the only ones willing to cover a given subject.

>>89422886
same concept as the girls who say they like hanging with guys because "less drama" when in reality they're the ones bringing the drama

>>89423488
Yeah, that's the best way to go about analyzing news with the tools we have in today's environment.

As long as you don't pretend that you are of a class of folk receiving the unadulterated truth through some supersource. There is no unbiased source. I don't think such a thing can exist, no matter how hard people might try.

He's pro not doing anything for them though, he thinks the status quo is fine, and he won't lift a finger when some Kentucky rep tries to pass a "religious freedom bill" that allows people to bar gays from being hired or some shit.

>>89423795
I'd love to get a peek at that crystal ball you're gazing through

>>89423795
okay

But we're not being killed in the streets so I don't see the issue here. A company could just fire you and never give a reason, at least where I live in the US, I don't see how doing nothing would make things "worse" for LGBTQ rights when he's already more open to at least trans people than any other president before him

>>89423795
What exactly is wrong with the status quo? We can get married, we're freely able to transition, HRT is relatively freely available. Where's the issue?
And no, allowing businesses to decide they don't want to bake a cake for someone due to their religious beliefs is not fucking oppression.

Just a couple dozen posts ago, there was someone bitching it was a libshit thread

You'd need more than a few people with PoliSci doctorates and opposing woldviews to figure out where this thread went and why

>>89423918
Hrt isn't freely available. Status quo normalizes heterosexual amity, and while it not the same thing as being drug behind a pickup truck, the wedding cake thing is still oppression.

>>89423795
>he won't lift a finger when some Kentucky rep tries to pass a "religious freedom bill" that allows people to bar gays from being hired or some shit.

Good. These sexual deviants have gotten a free ride for far too long. If they want to pursue a sexually perverse lifestyle they ought to be shunned

>>89424077
>the wedding cake thing is still oppression
It is the moment the government steps in and forces a business to do what they want, I'll agree with that.

>>89424077
oh yeah the cake thing. Where the owner fucked up was by posting the couple's private number online and voicing why he refused service

>>89424077
>Hrt isn't freely available
Dude. Chelsea Manning literally got HRT for free. In prison. On the taxpayer dime. If that isn't "freely available" I'd love to know what is.

>>89424077

Oh just go to another fucking bakery and get over it already.

>>89424114
they did, so

>>89424129
So then where's the issue? Why does the government need to step in?

>>89424187
if I remember correctly, wasn't the issue that the bakery posted the couple's private number on their website or something?

from what I remember researching about it a few years ago when this was in the news, the US actually doesn't have a country wide law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation but something like 20 states due to their legislation

So it's a state issue, in that sense a la small government proposals

>>89424129

Yeah, and they destroyed this couple's livelihood in the process with lawsuits. The founder of Firefox lost his job because he supported traditional romance.

Faggots don't want to leave it at "Live and let live" they want to suck dick and then force everyone to smell their breath. And you better do it, too or theyll pull the victim card and try to destroy you. And Obama let's them do it because it helps his goal of undermining the USA

>>89424239
it never actually reached the US supreme courts from what I remember, it was a local Colorado judge that ruled on it. So with that, it sounds like a states rights ruling

Again, it's been years I might be misremembering it.

>>89424239
The cakefags were wrong, but so are you with conflating the issue with the endtimes and the fall of the United States government.

Calm the hell down, mate. Nothing cataclysmic happened, and Obama is gone. He can't hurt you anymore. You can breathe now.

In and out. In and out. Breeeeatheee.

>>89424280
Oregon. The bakery was found to violate a state anti-discrimination statute then they were further hit with charges stemming for their behavior online.

>>89424342
ah ok, so it was a state statute just forgot the state it was in.

I mean, sounds like a pretty open and shut case of small government doing what it's supposed to do

>>89424071
And it was there that anon realized that though the election ended months ago that the bitching about it would continue for as long Trump was in office and that even 4 or 8 years from thence when Trump left office there would continue to be butthurt even then from someone- that /co/ would never be free to discuss comics without politics somehow making its way into the conversation again

I read this post in the narrator's voice.

>>89424324
I mean while we're on the issue of gays and cakes anyone remember that story of that black gay guy from Texas a few months back who tried to fraudulently claim that the supermarket he ordered a cake from had written "nice cake fag" or something like that in icing? America is a fun country, with our neverending schemes to use litigation to get rich.

>>89424410
that's an old scheme that people do to get free food out of the grocery store, at least where I'm from.

Usually it's a person who comes in saying they are ready to pick up a ludicrous amount of prepared food for a "wedding" or "party" and that they "set up the date months ago" and then they cry and try to make you prepare a shit ton of food for later that day.

It never works.

>>89424410
>>89424455
It's crazy easy to scam grocery stores, and other big retail establishments. 99% of the time, if you claim something was wrong with a product, they'll buy it and give you free shit...as long as your claim isn't too extravagant.

That's less an indictment of any political ideology, and more of an indictment of the litigious bullshit mindset of the USA.

>>89424514
I'm too lazy to contest my hotdog buns are old to get free ones, I guess

>>89424514
>more of an indictment of the litigious bullshit mindset of the USA.

As someone who spent far too much of their time in retail I can tell you it's not a matter of litigation, it's just that on a store level everyone has something else they need to be doing instead of arguing over a return and the company itself isn't going to be out much money.

>>89424380
>even 4 or 8 years from thence when Trump left office there would continue to be butthurt even then from someone

Obama certainly did with Bush

So shacking up with Joe is perfectly justifiable because "People like her"... WHY exactly?

How does that make Jason's statements about it being a severe breach of ethics NOT valid? Even if the other faculty don't like him, how does that mean he can't possibly ever be RIGHT sometimes? You can't just ignore one person'd breach of ethics because you don't like the other person reporting it

Not that he has room to talk as he fucked a student as well. But that still doesn't make her doing the same thing defensible in any way. Especially since her only defense is "People like me"

>>89427244
Office politics.

>>89422834
The mentally ill only have power if you oppose them. Just let them do their thing and then kill themselves.

>>89422500

Not only that but Raidah ostracizing and demonizing her for getting her roommate help is a big part of WHY Sarah acts so cynical and standoffish

>>89423178
It's possible, but it would require more work than I'd assume Willis would put into heightening security, namely because he has posts up until April and I doubt he wants to change his hundred-comic buffer.

>>89425200
>>89425572
I think he does it because he thinks it's funny.
It makes me wonder how he trims his own pubes.

>>89427244
I don't think people know that he fucked Sal.
But it doesn't matter because we haven't seen Penny in ages, so Willis will probably recap and retcon elements of her storyline if/when she comes back.

>>89427904
You'd think that Raidah would figure more prominently into Sarah's personal storylines, but I'm still pretty sure this is the most we've seen of her in years.

>>89423123
I tried pretty much every phrase that works as a good title for this strip and got nothing.

>>89428279
Watch it be some string of Raidah's "Ha ha ha"s in the last panels.

>>89427971

>You'd think that Raidah would figure more prominently into Sarah's personal storylines, but I'm still pretty sure this is the most we've seen of her in years.

Which is a pity because I might actually be invested in that.

I tried a lot of these too...

>>89428674
Well, then, we'll just have to see what the answer is tonight.

>>89427971
>>89428512
That would require Sarah to be more prominent. Plus all of Sarah's personal storylines involve Raidah.

>>89428728
He probably uses something that sticks out to him regarding the strip as a password.

That's because they carefully toe the line between outright stating I hate niggers and criticizing her physique or her attitude in a way they wouldn't do with women. Well, women not named Hillary, anyway.

I mean for fuck's sake, the first black president had to be a constitutional law professor with zero scandals and a perfect marriage with two perfect kids. His immediate successor is a lifelong grifter with multiple children by multiple marriages constantly surrounded by scandal. Hell, one of his wives posed naked--once in a softcore lesbian shoot, even--and he himself cameoed in a couple Playboy videos. If Barry O had done ANY of that, or if Michelle had appeared in a fucking BIKINI mag, he wouldn't have been elected dogcatcher.

If you don't see the race component there, I doubt you'll ever see race components anywhere.

>>89420891

Man I'd read the shit out of a Galasso comic

>>89422614

I'm still not sure why Raidah's hate for Sarah is portrayed as some bad, unreasonable thing, given Sarah kinda got one of their friends kicked out of school for smoking a little too much green during one of the worst periods of her life.

Like with Mary's anger at Carla, reasonable negative behavior is portrayed as THE WORST THING EVER because it's directed at one of Willis' tormented main characters.

>>89432008
>the first black president had to be a constitutional law professor with zero scandals and a perfect marriage with two perfect kids

He didn't have to be that, he just was that. The vast majority of presidents don't have massive personal scandals upon their heads when running for office.

Then why did we ban doing so against black people?

Seriously, every Civil Rights argument re: access to goods and services and right to marry applies equally to nonwhites and LGBTBBBQ* people, it's just slightly more socially acceptable to keep pushing the shit the Civil Rights Act made illegal because guys kissing is gross and Ellen's popular.
