I have made more than one post in this long thread's history about the status and well being of our soft noodle boy Clevin

I demand to know what the gently caress they were going to do to end the story so abruptly



oh wait that's what they already did

"Go on until you're stopped."
I continue to be really uninterested in talking about Clevin.

That said, it seems like Strong Female Protagonist, in hindsight, basically ran smack into the Trump era and an environment where being the embodiment of white privilege stopped being such a great metaphor.

There was also another problem the comic had that nobody can really discuss without courting legal trouble, but people can probably guess what it is on their own.

I only know two things about Strong Female Protagonist: 1) the woman who drew it now has an actual professional career doing graphic novels for Scholastic, and 2) that stalker guy who got perma'd last month wouldn't shut up about Clevin and got ran out of BBS for it.

And I do not care to learn any more things about Strong Female Protagonist, thank you.

The writer works for CollegeHumor and is in some of their videos so I guess he doesn't have as much time for mediocre webcomics either.

Nah, the admins just finally got tired of his poo poo. Also it came out in wash of the QCS meltdown over his perma that he was stalking several goons across SA and off-site specifically to harass and gaslight them so it was a big pile of :yikes: all over.

I remember him trying to poo poo up the Into The Spider-Verse thread. One of things he claimed was that the movie Up had no real antagonist, or something. Now, Up is not my favorite Pixar movie by any stretch, but the character Muntz may as well wear a T-Shirt that says "I represent the natural endpoint of the Main Character's Obsessions". poo poo, there was an entire DVD feature on why he needed to die.

omg

for the record botl did not stalk anybody. i will say nothing about the rest of it, but the "stalking" thing started as him ragging on a single guy who turned out to have psychological issues (like 100% of this place's users), he targeted like three threads that the other goon also frequented to shitpost in so someone else took the opportunity to claim he had a vendetta and was trying to push this poor figurine enthusiast to suicide or some poo poo. fast forward a few months and the story has transformed into "stalked and doxxed multiple goons and probably also murdered someone, who knows what he's capable of!!!!"

i had no intention of talking about botl itt but that rumour escalated so quickly i am legitimately alarmed. the guy hates fantasy novels and clevin. he has not stalked or doxxed anyone. like please correct me if i'm wrong and he turned up to somebody's house or something, by all means, but as far as i know this was the actual sequence of events

Sure but there was a clear implication of something about SFP that would bring down legal troubles if discussed openly, which... I can't even imagine what that would be? Like, whose legal trouble are we even talking about here? The author and artist were never litigious as far as I know.

SFP ran up right to the line on a lot of interesting dilemmas and aspects of world building around a "realistic" setting with metahumans. And then it'd back away every time.

It was strangely tepid and unaware of itself, and didn't appear to realize that the deconstruction it was going for was already a well-worn rut from the past 40 years of Marvel and DC comics.

Rand Brittain
Mar 25, 2013

"Go on until you're stopped."
“Rape is good” is nowhere near what they were saying with that, although the fact that so many people thought so is evidence of how badly that plot got fumbled.

The point Dr. Rapestatistics was making was “the number of people striking back violently against perceived rapists is so small compared to the number of rapes that it basically doesn’t exist. The fact that we treat the handful of murders as significant and the tsunami of rape as normal is a sign of how hosed up our cultural priorities are.”

Are we talking about the entire rape storyline or the time where she strong arms someone into helping her which had remarkably rapey imagery and language?

The former, I don’t think it was that so much as the writer writing himself into a corner then resolving it by basically shrugging and moving on. The latter... yeah I am not touching that.
