...so I guess the writer forgot about the murder conviction that Feral's still got under her belt. That or Patrick killed everybody who cared about it.

And what about Feral's friend from before the donor hell? I thought they had a bit of a thing going on.

Her agreement was most likely leniency in exchange for "donate a bunch of organs," not "endure surgical perma-hell." Feral's still keeping up her end of the bargain, so the agreement stands.

It was the judge who didn't convict the rape bro. And as we all know when a judge dies, all their verdicts are annulled.

tbh i think the writer has realised that feral is by far the most popular character and obviously decided to give her more emphasis in the story than she otherwise would have had. but i don't think he understands WHY she's the most popular character and her having the most complicated and interesting story was a happy accident that he'll now blow out of the water by showing us too much and getting ham all over everything

Cool so they're just going to drop that whole plot line. On to the lesbian action I guess. :shrug:

It's really kind of weird that like almost the entire fanbase of this comic distilled feral to "she got tortured BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY SHE'S GAY SHE SHOULD gently caress EVERY FEMALE CHARACTER". Most of the comments either keep trying to tell the writer to pair her up with anything with tits, or arguing with people who think Allison was in the wrong by somehow acting like Feral didn't do the whole operation thing willingly and it seems like the authors are starting to buy into the fan approach to things?

Yeah, maybe, but there's no halfway house, no giving back the possessions she came in with, no parole officer to check in on her, no acknowledgement of anything. You don't just let somebody walk no questions asked with a plea bargain, especially not a bargain predicated on continued service.

It's also pretty lovely from the perspective of Feral's personal welfare too. Are they paying Feral any for her organs, or do they just expect her to go off and find a job and apartment on her own? You'd think they'd give their golden goose something better than just turning her loose to bunk in a college student's apartment.

I am far from averse to adorable gay girls in my webcomics, and I'm normally loathe to call gay romance pandering cuz come on almost any media representation is usually a step up...

Speaking as someone who generally thinks lesbians are incredibly awesome, the idea of an actual gay woman reading this page and not wincing multiple times, let alone drawing it and lettering the dialogue, is really disheartening

e: I just got my best friend and the person whom I most admire freed from a torture prison like nobody in history has ever had to endure, my first question is not "What would you like to do" it's "Do you want to go to the gay meat market and get laid?"

e: hell how about "Do you want some privacy for a while"

That's peak webcomic.

Maybe Max has also enhanced Feral's lesbian pheromones, so now all women fall in love with her. Imagine that twist.

What?

Lmao it looked like they were going somewhere with dealing with the consequences of her actions (even if it was just an internal struggle) with the whole puking into a garbage can thing but nope! Time for a few strips about how forcing people to do what you want is extremely cool and good and turns out great and your ~gay friend~ is gonna get some tail

I only discovered this comic a few updates ago when someone brought it up in the general webcomics thread and I've never had so little desire to read the archives of a comic before. And I've read a lot of dumb poo poo I knew was bad going in.

But People have fears that beasts do not. Questions, too.
I mean, in universe I don't blame Feral for being all psyched to be not having surgery done on her 24/7, and she was always crazy like this, but as a reader I can't help but wonder what the heck the author is going for. Maybe we'll get lucky and Allison will hurl her guts out of guilt and insanity the instant the others are off camera.

Bad writers are often mortally afraid of meaningful conflict, the kind with stakes and consequences and etc. That's why SFP in particular has a lot of big dramatic speeches and teary-eyed faces but none of it ever amounts to anything.

Bad writers today also seem to have this weird predilection to default into meaningless domestic fluff whenever possible, which is definitely what's happening here - retreating into painful, stilted Questionable Content-esque banter because it's easier and more instantly gratifying then actually trying to pursue the questions the story originally asked.
