Logistics Allison, Logistics!!  There would not be enough super powered female heroes in the world to act as adequate protection for abused women in the US alone based off the numbers we saw earlier in the thread. You're going to create a nice PR stunt and briefly raise awareness but little else. Build more women's shelters you dolts and have them adequately staffed and funded. And gently caress anyone who tells her she can't do this she can chuck nukes into the moon so yay to abuses of power.

Yea I am pretty baffled by this 'revelation'. I mean protecting women from domestic abuse is a very good thing, but it's probably even worse suited to superhero enforcement than punching out street toughs and dealers. The only thing Alison brings to an equation is overwhelming force, which is not actually the thing we're lacking in protecting people from domestic abuse.

Look at her team, though: with Paladin she can build robots that will track facebook status update to find all women that have recently broken up, and then she can send Mary to preemptively murder their exes. It's flawless, and well-worth the whole epiphany with allegorical figures from classical art that we've got.

The most effective way to save people with superpowers: doing things people without superpowers can do. If Allison got a job moving around shipping containers she could probably pay two people to do this and get twice the effectiveness.

Being a kickstarter backer has been a consistent mark of shame in this comic. I don't think I've seen one that's done well.

I feel like this isn't a very well-thought out idea. How exactly would a team of super-powered people be more effective at dealing with domestic violence than the police? The main problem with dealing with domestic abuse isn't the lack of firepower. Also, it's weird that she specifies "all female." Pintsize is the only super we've seen who's still way into the whole super-heroing schtick. I'm sure he'd want in on the whole thing. idonotlikepeas posted:Feral herself made that exact argument. It was even illustrated to drive the point home: Why did they give those people duplicate organs.

Yea, looks like the character is one of the cameo rewards from the kickstarter. Apparently there were 19 people who paid $200 for that? I can't imagine having to slot 19 different cameo characters into your comic, that has to be a huge pain in the rear end (and kind of explains why this appearance seems so out of the blue).

What if you start having super powered rapists though, that would be a good direction for the comic to go quote:Why did they give those people duplicate organs. Kidneys and lungs come in pairs.

So basically the idea here is to be an all female bodyguard force for women leaving abused relationships? Allison's still just trying to solve everything with force and firepower it seems, she's just trying to be more pre-emptive about it.

It's not like only women are victims though, so it's not like Pintsize wouldn't have a place he could help in this even if you take it as a given that a victim of domestic abuse would rather have someone of the same gender around for support.

None of them can provide meaningfully more concrete help here than a human can. This is purely a public relations exercise and symbolic gesture. Anything that undermines the symbolic purity undermines the gesture. Pintsize can help with women's shelters any time he wants. Doing so as part of this specific PR exercise, however, would be counterproductive. edit: Oh, durr, I misunderstood. Yes, there's definitely some room for him doing work at battered men's shelters, yes.

Wait, wait, I got it. She's going to have Paladin build bodyguardbots that will stay with women all the time, so that no rapists can possibly get close to them.

It's that Pintsize is a strictly non-lethal combatant, we need blood for the rapestatistics god. Also every male named character was made to look like an idiot this chapter, which is presumably why instead of talking to her hacker friend she is contacting this woman we have never seen before.

I kind of want to ask the author what the gently caress he's thinking this last chapter. He could probably save some cash and put it on Tumblr where it kind of belongs now.

This would be a good option because you could configure the robots to have the appropriate non-threatening gender (or none at all).

Wasn't that one of Patrick's ideas? Is Allison going to go all evil Superman Injustice on us? I know she won't, but I would love this comic turning into the adventures of frustrated millennial hulk.I would really enjoy Allison just pulling the superman equivilent of a Donald Duck rampage, if only for the catharsis.

This comic is going batshit insane. What the gently caress is going on anymore. I really hope we get a super powered rape villain or something and it just escalates from there and they defeat rape forever.
