That's not even a little bit true. Only about 20% of reported rapes lead to prosecution, and only about half of those prosecutions lead to conviction. And that's only looking at the minority of cases that even get reported in the first place! What media HAS done is create this bullshit mythology that REAL rapists are obvious monsters that you can see coming a mile away, and that Just Regular Guys are always in deadly peril of having their lives ruined by false rape charges. And that's exactly what we're seeing here: Miles is a chill dude so no one wants to get him in trouble. Hell, the guy probably doesn't even think what he's about to do is rape; he's just picking up a chick at a party, that's what happens at parties. I think the greater point of the story here is that, yeah, Alison can rescue the girl. She can even put the fear of god into that rear end in a top hat so he never acts lovely to a woman again, maybe. But there's no level of metahuman power that will make those other people at the party open their eyes to what's happening. The overall problem of rape culture here can't be punched or strangled.

The alt-text a couple strips back about her endorphin high makes me think that Moonshadow has become addicted to Also, she's escalating. At first she only killed with government sanction, then she needed the victims to ask her, and at this point she's selecting her own targets.

Classtoise posted:Even with her arm being busted (seriously, though. How? I get the dislocation; the joint itself is no stronger than the connection. But that should be a simple "pop it back in" fix), Mary has no chance if she's dumb enough to be anywhere within the vicinity. She did pop it back in. It still takes time for the shoulder to heal after it's popped back into place. How long? Who the gently caress knows! Probably about 30 minutes of real time, so about 9-10 months worth of comics.

Uh, Alison is clearly wearing a tiny white poncho over a tight-fitting peach shirt.

How do you solve an unpunchable problem? By rewriting it to be punchable after all, I guess.
