Today's DbD reminded me of the strip from a few months ago where Muir argued that what Ramsay did to Sansa on Game of Thrones was not rape, because Sansa didn't scream or try to run away. So by his own logic, what Skye is doing to Zed is also not rape.

But, you see, when it happens to a MAN it's different because :biotruths:...

Though the wind won't help you fly at all

I've sometimes thought about reading Transmetropolitan, but the visuals remind me of the Invisibles and I get scared that an angry British man is going to waste my time.

But I always think maybe I should, though, you know? I pretty much liked Preacher and Planetary. Maybe it's just Preacher and Planetary at the same time.

It's not, apart from covering some of the same dubious sex ground that Preacher did.

My personal suggestion is that you read issue 8, "Another Cold Morning". It's the second issue in the new printing of volume 2, and it stands alone. If by the end of that you still think your time has been wasted, forget it.

Two p.m., bit after lunchtime
I grab some black chick in her class
The rush of force, my cock is throbbing
The world don't care cause she is black

Down the stairs, to my patrol car
She is balled up from my blows
Her mom and dad? Both prob'ly black folk
I'm a cop what can they do?

And so I drag...
Now that I have found someone
More powerless than me
I'm white unlike she

She's a black and I'm sick of that type,
That whole race is mean and bad,
She's a black and I'd drown her, prob'ly

Transmetropolitan is wanky as gently caress but at the very least it tries to go beyond 'heh, more like HITLER am I right guys'.

Looking like The Dude is on par with "I came as myself for Halloween!!"

In fact, I just reached Peak Dude this year. Or Peak Lebowski. All of a sudden he's loving Captain Jack Sparrow in terms of popularity at the office Halloween drag contest. The Big Lebowski was a movie, and that's all it was ever supposed to be, but nerds can't stop humping poo poo that doesn't immediately reject them, or can't talk back, like movies, so here we are. Smack in the middle of an era where dressing as Jeff Bridges is shorthand for "I'm not a loving dork." HOW IRONIC THE EXACT OPPOSITE IS WHAT'S ACTUALLY TRUE

Actually, anyone over the age of 12 who dresses up for Halloween is a loving idiot. A pervert bent on supping as much approval as he or she can from their peers and betters. A creature who gains sustenance from such an act isn't human, it's positively loving primordial. They have more in common with catfish than you and I. And catfish can't run away. Or at least not yet. Make them watch The Big Lebowski enough times and their chromosomes might enact rebellion; grant them legs. Big, strong legs to carry them far away from people and their dumb ideas and movies.
