Trast posted:A simple explanation of why she'd give the guys ammo would be to test herself. Sure she got all the balloons without breaking a sweat but an exercise with paint balls is not the same as real life combat. Even if the mercs are rattled now they are still trained killers. So when she kills them all she will likely move on to whatever target she has picked out next. Which quite likely will have armed security. Alternately could just leave and let them shoot each other while trying to kill an invisible person in the dark. She seems too hands on for that though.

Slashrat posted:Exactly. There's no validity to anything he said. If a vigilante is killing people who the media report as being accused of being rapists, the answer isn't for victims to keep it to themselves (under threat of being burned alive if they don't). The answer is to stop the loving vigilante, and at a stretch have the media keep quiet about such accusations in the meantime. His entire train of thought went down the wrong track right from the start. I'm guessing that there is now a race for who gets to kill/disable him first. I'm not sure if the train even got out of the station before derailing.

Gorilla Desperado posted:Hah, was just thinking this. She walks away, he is killed by any number of other people. I'm sure the "Am I Still Special" gang is super pissed off by this. They will want to kill him and they're probably going to take it out on lower tier biodynamics. Lower tier biodynamics now have motive, if not means to kill him. Some of them might band together, others might hire mercenaries. Alison is trying to work on non violent solutions to her problems, but there are a lot of biodynamic women out there, even if they aren't all Tier 1. Heck, his mother might be watching TV and thinking that she failed as a mother and poisoning him is the only thing left that she can do. That's assuming that the government sits on its hands while an incredibly loose cannon goes even more berserk.

You can get a better look at it here: I think the author did that so they could have some peace and quiet while they talked. I'd complain about that more, but they are way overdue for a heart to heart.

ManlyGrunting posted:Not going to lie, part of me kind of wants the next page to be a shaggy dog story ending where Mary begins to get into a big old monologue and Allison just crushes her head like a grape, end of chapter. Out of character as hell and against everything the comic stands for yes, but I would really love the chutzpah. I'm just hoping for a "I don't think what you did was right, but I don't know how wrong it really was" and then they spent the rest of the night looking at the sky and chat about what they both went through as superheroes.

Brought To You By posted:Here's the thing about the 1 in 5 statistic. It was originally a study that dealt with university students and had a sample size of less than 5,500. Now it's been extrapolated by a lot of other groups to be a national statistic. I'm not going to go in to the problems with the original study itself but the long and short is that the study plays very loose with the definition of sexual assault and had some very loaded wording. And more recent studies (this one is from 2012) show that the actual rate of rape and sexual assault is 1.3 per 1000(Page 2) for americans ages 12 and up. So I don't know where this statistic keeps getting ground. As for the 2%. I still can't find a credible study backing up the RAINN so it's just as suspect to me as the 1 in 5. The statistic that you're picking says that 1.3 per 1,000 Americans ages 12 and up reported a violent sexual assault to the police in 2012. This cannot be compared to the other statistics.

Hopefully this will be the end of the issue. (It's going to end when Alison goes to sleep, regardless.) It will never end. This chapter did introduce Lisa and hopefully got rid of Violet, so there's that at least?

Enough is enough. I'm still trying to figure out how Furnace's death is all over the news and that Allison's last message to Dr. Rapestatistics was, "Uh...turns out that one of my teammates was is a serial killer after all." and this is her response.

I wonder if all of Chapter 5 was really meant to lead up to this moment. On top of that, it's hard to believe that the writer wrote everything from Chapter 1 with this specific end goal from Alison in mind.

Title page opens with a closeup of Alison and Lisa shrugging with the title "Well That Was a Dumb Plan." Chapter 6 starts with Alison coming to terms with the end of the Guardians, having a new roommate and the death of that guy that she didn't like. THE COMIC CAN STILL BE SAVED.

Warmachine posted:Have you missed all the times society has bent over backwards to not hold someone accountable for sexual assault, or are you just willfully dense? Even if Captain Oblivious is right and you don't leave the internet, it shouldn't take you long to google a case of alleged rape and scroll to the comments section. Of course, maybe its different elsewhere, but in the United States? "Victim blaming" as a catch-all for guilt abatement is hard to miss. The only thing that's changed is that people tend to avoid saying the specific words "blame" and "victim" near each other when in polite company.

I'm guessing fat acceptance is an offshoot of other body acceptance stuff, so it'd sound similar even if he doesn't take it from that source directly.

Air is lava! posted:Try to think of the most stupid reasoning. It's probably such a parody of a safe space, that they outright banned the use of pronouns at the convention. Or that person is extra careful with the wording, because it would sort of kill the mood, if someone would Interrupt this statement with, "Excuse me, this is a place where everyone is welcome and your use of this denominating language really makes people uncomfortable. Could you please leave?" I thought Dax was the most stupid reasoning. Third person they isn't that weird and is at least 10 years overdue and probably closer to 60.

I think the old style suited the story better to the point where it would have been easier to forgive the writing in the last two chapter. Ostertag's color schemes haven't ever fit any of the more dramatic scenes, but the bigger issue is something I don't quite know how to put into words. That scene of the playground is a good example of this. It's somewhat abstract, the stark black and white add an emotional punch that I haven't seen out of the more recent pages, and the aesthetic feels more like an alternative comic than a webcomic.

Serene Dragon posted:40 hours a month also doesn't seem like enough organs to even shift the backlog of organs needed in the US alone, at least not for many many years. Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide need organs right now. Having enough surgeons to be able to keep up would still be an issue though. Then again, there's no need to let perfectly good organs go to waste.

Paladinus posted:Where do these hearts come from? I mean mass-wise. I assume they constantly pump Feral with nutrients, but with this new rate we're talking several kilos of prime heart meat and God knows how much blood per hour. What I'm saying is that Feral is now always hungry, and no burger can sate this hunger. We haven't seen Alison constantly eating, so maybe whatever allows her to fly allows Feral to regenerate. If her organs regenerate outside her body, she could just keep eating her heart into infinity.

Brought To You By posted:Why did she even admit to having a hand in Feral's new condition? She already knows that people's abilities are evolving and getting stronger . She herself is proof of that so it's not outside the realm of possibility that the same would happen to Feral. All she has to do is sit back after she forced Max to do his fireball trick and show up a week later acting surprised. It's the same reason she came up with Project Valkyrie instead of going to quietly go work with disaster relief/charities that work on building infrastructure in developing countries in a capacity where she would be helping build things but get none of the credit. It's hard to tell whether it's bad writing or if she can't stand to not be in the spotlight.

Can I call in today and tell them I'm too trumped out to come in? I'm guessing people are upset about the swastika graffiti, headscarves being ripped off, and schoolchildren yelling "BUILD THE WALL" at their minority classmates.
