History Fridge / Collar6

**** [[spoiler: Being manipulated for thousands of years by an Atlantian spirit of pure spite [[{{Understatement}} might of had something to do with it.]]]]

** Still no word on the powersuits and automatic actions, though? Powered armor comes from a need to carry heavy bulletproof armor (and heavier guns), automatic actions are designed solely to kill large groups of people. Even better, the guns in this setting are MagiTek weapons that never run out of ammo. This is looking less and less like they don't have wars, and more and more like they do, but it's all in the shadows...

** Law Enforcement surely predated the invention of the Powered Armors and exotic weaponries based on a straight BDSM setting. On a real world example, despite law enforcement currently has access to tasers and rubber bullets, they're still allowed to carry guns, when the need arises.

** That's assuming they're only used against other people, when they could have still been invented to take down prey and large animals, such as buffalo and bears. Just because people aren't fighting each other doesn't mean they don't use guns. And gunpowder was originally invented by Taoist monks looking for an elixir of immortality, it was only an accident that they discovered it could be used as an explosive and eventually be used in firearms.

* Guns shouldn't have been invented without the need of nations to kill each other (not counting the police's liquid rubber firing {{Arm Cannon}}s). And yet, not only were they banned in 1900, Sixx senior has a Glock. Also: PoweredArmor.

* War was considered "detrimental" to humanity as a whole after Atlantis was discovered several thousand years ago, and the Americas are still colonized? I'm sorry, if weapons tech has stagnated around swords and bows, the colonists would have gotten their collective arse handed to them.

** Very simple: Prevent abuse. Also, the elaborate setup isn't DeusExMachine at all. It's just how it is. The clerck explained it: privacy first. Also, you're in a BDSM society. Being bound like that would be pretty commonplace. So why not integrate it in to other stuff, say computers? Make sense to me. Try not to forget the fact that this isn't our world at all.

* The whole computer terminal setup. First, needing an elaborate Matrix-style setup just to search a database. I'll let that slide, given the DeusSexMachina setting. But the terminal, driven entirely by voice commands, has the ability to gag the user. A computer controlled by speaking has a feature to stop the user from speaking. What purpose could that possibly serve?

* Later, when Laura talks about Sybion, it's mentioned that [[spoiler:women are ranked by their fertility and chances of having a male child]] but the FridgeLogic is that [[spoiler:the sex of a child is dependent entirely on whether the sperm that fertilizes the egg has an X or Y chromosome]] so that really makes no sense. Or this could be [[DeliberateValuesDissonance intentional]] on the part of the author to show how out of touch the culture is. There is some debate about [[spoiler:the natural capacity of primate females to control the gender of their offspring by selectively aborting pregnancies of one gender or another based on environmental factors that would make it selectively beneficial to have children of one gender or another. In the real world this is a controversial idea, and if the capacity does exist there's no way it could result in a society of fifty men and thousands of women, it doesn't go nearly that far.]] However, this world is already fantasy, so stretching a controversial real-world hypothesis isn't going too far.

* FridgeBrilliance: At first [[spoiler: the Dom and sub spirits]] come across as an AssPull. Then you realize, the whole comic is basically being done in the style of a {{shonen}} anime [[spoiler: i.e. NewPowersAsThePlotDemands]].
** Arguably a case with Laura's reaction to Sixx's harem. [[spoiler: Her father had an outrageously huge harem, and she had at least 30 siblings from his attempts to get a male heir.]] No wonder she has issues with [[spoiler: polygamy.]]
** And her earlier statement about liking her uniform at the cafe where she met Michelle because [[http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-198 it was pink]]. When talking about her early life [[spoiler:she wore a pink suit to signify that she was low on the fertility scale, and therefore mostly left alone by men]].
