I know priest is a legend in the community and everything but i can't believe he felt the need to say this in a published interview lol

It’s like the world woke up in the last few years and realized we actually have two genders and both of them matter.

So we now have heightened scrutiny of themes and behaviors and that poor bastard Joe Biden gets caught up in the switches. I’ll confess, I’m terrified of women because I’m a Joe Biden. I was taught to pay a lady a compliment and open doors and I want to be friendly and accessible but I’m absolutely terrified of having my good intentions taken in a bizarrely paranoid light.

It is comical to me that I am far too often seen as creepy by women - especially black women - because they have been conditioned by their personal experience and their media consumption to misinterpret a simple "Hello." These days I cannot pay a woman a complement without a legal preamble and assurances that, no, I am not hitting on you and even then I get the skunk eye of suspicion.

Which is a little insulting because this “guilty until proven innocent” defensive posture presumes I am other people or that the bar is set so low for me that I’ll jump into bed with just anybody I happen to meet. It’s like we’ve just gone too far now to the point where women are not just being protected but being alienated to some extent because I have no earthly clue how to deal with them and I’m frankly scared to shake their hand.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

I'm a fugly looking fat gently caress and I'll be honest I'm not the most lucky with women, shocker I know. I don't think I've ever had any experience like this person is describing because these are the ramblings of a paranoid individual who is a few words removed from blaming feminism for his relationships problems.

Also, as a questioning trans women, the "there are two genders" thing pisses me off.

This has come up before and I really really genuinely 100% can not understand it. (Not you, the people who say this stuff.)

You interact with people as people and you don't have problems. This issue always seems to begin with the idea that women are mysterious aliens who you have to treat special and not... you know, human beings who you interact the same way as you would any other human being. If you wouldn't start suddenly massaging a man's neck without his permission then don't do it to a woman because women are not strange alien beings from beyond the stars!

It's way weirder than that.

It started a pretty aggressive second wave feminism tailspin like a decade ago and started dropping SWERF-y (sex worker exclusionary rad feminist) takes left and right. For the past few months it's gotten aggressively TERF-y (trans exclusionary rad feminist) to the point that the creator shut down his old forums once posters there realized what he was doing, and he made a new forum where discussion of that is banned.

The comic itself is pretty much just incoherent reiterations of fringe and exclusionary feminist theories now.

Scott Kurtz. He's was super concerned with getting approval from syndicated cartoonists for a long time. He had a realization that they were stodgy old-timers at some point though and seems at peace with it.

Scott Kurtz, which lead to a hilarious feud with the Non-Sequiter guy.

The diesel sweeties guy got syndicated and realized he made more money doing the strip for free and coming up with a new quirky nerd t shirt every couple months.

Then went through a phase of trying to be a stodgy old-timer against the webcomics folks who came after him. Not sure if he's grown out of that now or has just slipped into irrelevance. Some of his advice had good intentions but he had a knack for finding the worst way to say anything.

Kurtz seems like he's still on fairly good terms with the Penny Arcade guys. He's still selling Pinny Arcade stuff on his site, and he gave a good reason for wanting to leave and do his own thing.

http://pvponline.com/news/why-i-split-the-party

Buuut, as far as Wheaton goes, Wil said himself that Kurtz was repeatedly acting like an rear end in a top hat to him and 'people he loves', and Kurtz and Kris Straub also had a huge falling out, so I can see that causing strife with Mike and Jerry too. :shrug:
