| 1 | * AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The Gord is willing to physically harm people he could clearly restrain over video games worth about five dollars. Is it justified because they're stealing from him, or is this DisproportionateRetribution? He also has rather toxic attitudes towards welfare recipients, though in this case it's suggested that his ire is directed towards people who [[SkewedPriorities spend their welfare checks on video games instead of food or rent.]] Finally, there's the page where Gord outright ''doxxes'' one of the thieves, encouraging readers to call the phone number and be an ass. Nowadays, that isn't the act of a HeroicComedicSociopath, it's just straight up villainy. |
| 2 | * MoralEventHorizon: The whole Apocalypse Book. To make it short: Landlord's Agent has been pocketing money, and blaming the rent shortage on the Gord's store. Gord is overseas at the time he learns this, having left the store in the care of the Guardian. But the Guardian helps the Agent seize the assets of the store. This leads to some of the Gord's friends breaking into his own store and stripping the entire place clear of everything, so the Agent and Guardian get nothing and lose their jobs. And, if they attempt to report Gord to the police, they would eventually have to explain the massive fraud they were about to commit versus the technically illegal theft. |
| 3 | * UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: While it's obvious that Gord is SurroundedByIdiots, the way he treats some of his customers (if [[UnreliableNarrator he truly isn't embellishing things]]) doesn't exactly win him any favours. |
| 4 | * ValuesDissonance: |
| 5 | ** Gord's constant use of the word "retard" wouldn't fly in the 2020s, in comparison to the late 90s-early 2000s that the store was open during. |
