Do we know for certain that "He" is God's preferred pronoun?

They don't even use/know God's actual name so its all kind of weird when we refer to a potential supreme being as "Hey, You" all the time.

Do these lunatics think that people are okay with cisgender people peeking under stalls? Or just wandering around with their genitals exposed outside said stalls?
Right, I don't know what these people assume goes on in public restrooms. It's not a loving orgy, people and their children don't just stand around posing nude. Being in a public restroom isn't sexy, and anything people could do to try and change that is pretty much already illegal, assault, etc. It's not like you would let a cis woman do these things. The person being trans or not (or in other debates, straight or not) has no bearing on this.

Straub doesn't do politoons that often, but when he does, he's pretty spot-on. Not sure how well-loved he is in this thread, since he's part of the Penny Arcade group, but I really like his work.

The gently caress? Every single Pax I've been to is drenched in Mike Krahuliks art, and the pair personally open and close every single one of them, with the singular exception of the year Mike had severe food poisoning and couldn't get on a plane to go to Australia. They are also on a gently caress load of the comedy panels and do their "make a strip live" panel in the main theatre.

They themselves did take Penny Arcade out of the name of PAX (It's just called PAX these days, not Penny Arcade eXpo) and removed a lot of the branding from Child's Play. That is to say, that's something they did, not something that was done by those other groups to distance themselves. They wanted both of those things to be all-ages, which Penny Arcade the comic is definitely not.

And yeah, they've definitely brought up the Dickwolves thing once or twice since then, in the context of apologizing for it and explaining how they got to that place originally. Like, criticizing them for acting like jerks six years ago is fine, but pretending they're still doing the same thing today is wrong.
