I don't care enough about this webcomic to purposefully stay away to let pages build up, like I do with Ava's Demon or Vattu, but I still find it interesting enough to bother checking at least once a week.

Oh hey...we're going to re-visit this event now. Huh. Color me surprised. Edit: I'm guessing this is where we are also bringing Moonshadow back into the story once she finds out why Allison was giving this guy a lift in the first place.

Well, in their minds it probably doesn't quite qualify as rape anyways.

And of course the guy who thinks fire projection powers are a useful tool to use against a law abiding, peaceful protest thinks date rape is A-OK.

So is Tandry Connors the in-universe equivalent of Gretchen Carlson or something?

I still think that the smartest thing to do would be find someone who's good at public relations and sort out best responses with them, but Allison doesn't really think that way yet.

If someone at the party has posted the whole thing on youtube, you'd think "trying to stop a date rapist" would be an easy task for a PR firm. But then, I remember how many pages this thread had on that topic and I'm no longer that sure they could.

If nothing else, we've proven it's a good topic for arguing, which means the internet is going to swarm over it like ants on honey whether they agree with her principles or not.

MikeJF posted:It also really depends on just when that video starts and stops. I was thinking that too and unless I have the timeline off in my head, their should be some footage of Allison asking the dude if he knew Daphne. The part where the video is queued up should cover everything from Panel 4 of this page after. And I don't think there was too much time between when she starts questioning the guy, and when she hoists him into the air.

Even with the full context of the dude absolutely being a would be rapist, her use of extreme force was questionable. That's what this thread's discussion really boiled down to. Without that context, it looks pretty drat bad for Alison.

Is she transferring to a different school yet, because seriously that probably should've been her reaction the FIRST time they enacted ridiculous retribution on someone who slighted her.

It's not retribution - it's fear. Everyone is quietly terrified of people with superpowers. Especially someone as strong as Alison with such a history of violence*. *which she did in the service of the government, sure.

That is the opposite of the impression I get of her school's overreaction to anything negative that happens to allison regarding the school. It seems like more of a celebrity thing, they aren't scared of a rampage, they're scared she'll switch to a more agreeable school and they'll lose out on being The School Attended By Mega-Girl.

That was INCREDIBLY mild force for someone who can throw building-sized robots through building-sized buildings.

Except to regular people, being able to Darth Vader someone off their feet is extreme force. Relative strength matters. What is a love tap to superhumans can be hamburger inducing to normal folks. She can grouse about it all day long, but in the end, she's still in Superman's world of cardboard.

That was INCREDIBLY mild force for someone who can throw building-sized robots through building-sized buildings. It was the equivalent of a police officer sticking their gun in a suspect's mouth. That's extreme force for that situation. The situation in no way demanded putting that guy in the position where a stray impulse from Alison would end their life. I think you very unsubtly got the point of her talk with Cleaver completely wrong. The point wasn't that her holding back from using force justified whatever force she does use. It was that violence was tempting, easy, and satisfying for her to use, but it doesn't actually solve problems. Then on that roof, she was tempted to use force, used it casually, and surprise surprise, it wasn't a very good solution.

But since slitting your throat is really hard and Moonshadow kills with a knife, it kind of makes sense if she did it. If she did do it, I wonder why. Were there other victims, or did she just want to hijack the viral video of Alison to more effectively spread her message about rapists being murdered horribly.
