Zombie virus, not computer virus.

You think Devilcorp would make their machines Bomf proof.

Besides what's already been said, where are they? What's with all the books? Are they hiding out in Satan's library or something?

Why would they? It's not like they have any reason to believe that one of their own would bomf a Fembot, on purpose or on accident. Fembot clients are all mundane humans as far as has been shown.

1. They're in a Hellhole that apparently serves as Fuchsia's new residence. I've always wondered where she slept after she left the Devil Mansion, since she didn't seem to cohabit with Criminy (who'd probably spontaneously explode from mental/emotional overload if she merely suggested such a thing).

2. Fuchsia is well-known for having become a bibliophile after she fell for Criminy. I suppose she bought a lot of those books or smuggled them from the Devil Mansion's own library off-screen (before her official Heel–Face Turn in the latter case).

There is entire district desinged as "come and bomfs someone", if we are to believe Tat's.

If Devil Corp is already selling Fembots for public, why wouldn't they be sold to people who bomf things?

My turn to play devil's advocate! Fun! Anyway, it could be that Bomfing doesn't effect fembots the same way it does most people. They were already supposed to be subservient sex toys to start with, so it's quite possible they weren't designed with bomfing in mind. Why would you ever need to?

To sell to people who want to bomf women?

I mean, where there is demand, there is always supply...

Seriously Nana, we all love you and all, but why are you with the Sisterhood? Your methods stand out like Martin Luther King at a Black Panther rally.

You think she'd try to show that her methods of feminism are better to the Sisterhood, the bunch of emotionless drones.

Or at the very least, NOT scare away potential male allies.

Seriously, why would ANY man want to ally with the Sisterhood? They'll use your tears to power their equipment, you'll constantly be looked at with suspicion, and if you display any sexual thoughts Violet will beat the crap out of you while Clio lectures you. I've heard from some feminist groups that the Patriarchy hurts both women and men, but by all accounts The Sisterhood would be a lot worse for the carriers of chromosome Y.

Good thing Tats is being subtle about the establishment having it out for the robots.

I'm waiting for the moment Tats decides that the fem bots remaining with their owners must wear shock collars and the ones that are caught away from their owners get a one way trip to the incinerator to keep the rebellion from spreading.

Or would even Tats notice the unfortunate implications behind that?

@ Metalix

I'll do you one better. I don't think there's really a good reason for joining the Sisterhood even if you are a woman. What have they really done to advance the cause of women? They give out cupcakes to women, cut down stripper poles and commit multiple terrorist acts on a sex doll factory. The women that they do reach turn into paranoid lesbian wrecks who mess up their hair and are rambling about the patriarchy every chance they get.

I don't see an end game with them. They have no goals.

Since when Nana is a wizard?

Doesn't come up much, but since last year at least. She found a broom Excalibur that was apparently a relic of the Dark Sisterhood and flew off on it.

Regarding the Bomf District, I get the sense that sometimes (inconsistent comic is inconsistent) "bomf" is a synonym for "fuck" (as a verb), and that the visual act of bomfing is symbolic of sexual approach. The Bomf District is where evil men go to "bomf" innocent women.

This could also related to Steve's sudden transformation to a devil in his last fight: his possessiveness of a "woman" (robot), implicitly sexual, is symbolized visually by his becoming a devil-person, and his "bomfing" her is a symbol of his attempt to possess her sexually. (Not in a requires-exorcism sense of "possession" mind you, just a "mine!" sense of possession).

The XXX bot being treated is thus symbolically a rape-attempt survivor.

It's also similar to Devil!Slick being Slick's horny shadow, both literally and metaphorically in a Jungian sense there. And that word really says it all: get figuratively horny, you get literal horns. Sex is evil m'kay.

Whatever.

See, this is why I'm glad most artists don't tend to have political power.

Seriously, you'd be hard pressed to find a touchier bunch. It'd be like letting Joffery from game of thrones rule all over again.

Joffrey was so fun to watch though. =)

Anyhow, I rather liked this one.

People, don't look at me wrong, but Sinfest just made me chuckle. With today's comic? No. Simply put, I used the TV Tropes search function to search "Sinfest"... and the first two pages that showed up in the list were "Dethroning moment" and "Wall Bangers".

Does TV Tropes know us, or what?

I'm just surprised someone other than us didn't go through this thread and extend those pages.

most artists i know arent actually that touchy, usually being willing to accept criticism fairly well provided you arent basically saying "your style sucks/is childish/you should draw more of what i want"

granted, most tend to expect the bare minimum of respect when you criticize them. go in guns full blazing like SWC guys tend to and they get pissy extremely fast, which isnt exactly an unfair reaction.

then again, ive heard horror stories of artists from certain communities.

I'd rather be criticized because I want my art to grow and improve. Sure some praise feels nice but I still want faults found.

It wasn't made clear for a long time, but Vainglorious's treatment of Fuchsia finally did establish we aren't supposed to be liking this guy.

Well, yeah. But here he's just a art douche rather than a proper villain we should be disliking.

More than that, he's supposed to be capable of leading a revolution to overthrow The Devil himself. At this point the only thing I'd trust this douche to lead me to is the nearest Starbucks, and even then he'd probably give me the wrong directions for kicks.
