Especially considering that back in the day he and Lil'E shared the same basic gimmick (Religious asshole) but went about it in two VERY different ways. Most of Seymour's humor came from the other characters making fun of him or just not taking him seriously at all, while Lil'E's humor came from an over the top devotion to evil that just ended up with him acting like an internet troll.

Basically, Seymour needed other characters to react to him to be entertaining, while Lil'E was entertaining on his own. These days, they've kinda flipped.

Edit: Page topper. How about some Bulletstorm?

That's been my take as well. Every now and again I wonder if this is all some massive joke, a great satire of radical feminists always fighting "the system". However, every time I do I quickly realize that Ishida would have to be one of the greatest writers ever to manipulate reactions like this for nearly 4 years, and that I'm too much of a subscriber to Occam's Razor to believe anything so convoluted.

Agreed. By this point, I think that it's fairly safe to say that Tats believes in what he's writing. I mean, given the amount of effort it would take to do all of the artwork for the strip and update it daily for years like Tats has, he would have to be the most dedicated internet troll of all time if it were all an act.

Really wish we could just sit Tat down for an interview. Pick his brain, figure out just what traumatic event or dramatic epiphany caused him to walk down this path of madness and not look back.

EDIT: New update and the Sisterhood gets even more Mary Sue than before. Apparently the Sisterhood always had the ability to de-bomf people. For whatever reason, they never did. Not even the female demons! Is freeing women from the corruption of the Devil not a suitably feminist cause? It seems not.

The strip in question.

Oh Nana, there was never anything good in her. Just a lighter shade of darkness when compared to Violet.

And yet another thing that Tats pulled right out of his asshole. Probably sounds like wind in a tunnel when he farts.

They could probably de-devilfy the entire area just by introducing that remedy to the drinking water, but no. They just sit on it.

I wonder if Tats is ever aware of just how stupid he makes his favorites look sometimes.

I... but... that's... WHAT!?

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!? You can now debomf people just like that? Like it's not a big deal? And they haven't used it? Like, they had Lil'E and Tang with them and nobody asked them "Hey, want to get debomfed"?

Well there goes the whole "bomfing is sex" idea, you can now undo having hex. Oh and let's not take this to the fucking bomfing district, I mean, people there would probably love to have something like this.

Never mind that, considered that they had knocked out Steve, why not get them over to de-bomf him instead of turning him into a frog and then throwing him in the Lethe?

Man, if anything proves that the Sinfest forums are just a big feel-good echo chamber, the thread for this update proves it. Not a single person commenting on what a giant ass-pull this is, or questioning why the Sisterhood had been hiding this devil-cure the entire time. Instead it's just "Oh I love Nana, she's my favorite" or "Yay! Nana to the rescue!"

Holy shit you are correct!

So, instead of debomfing (remove the devil thingy) and then Lethe trip (remove memory), they decide to unperson Steve. Despite having the stuff they need.

Our heroes, everyone

Are you surprised?

So that pretty much marks the frog transformation as a Moral Event Horizon especially when they had a way of wiping him of sin.

Now normally I would talk about story element. Here it speaks for itself. Problem at hand, problem solved, anti climax, Fridge Logic.

Not to mention Slick and his devil side which could easily have been fixed by this.

For fucks sake. If removing a devils taint is as simple as walking over to grandma and telling her to make a batch of devil be gone, then where is the threat?

It also kills off the whole need for having devil girls in the first place. Just walk to grandma and the bomf is gone!

Another chance at suspension avoided! Good job Tats!

Plot twist: Grandma is actually the white haired lady :p

Figured its time for random stupid guess :D

Lil'E has met her face to face, though. Unless she wound up in the Lethe as well, there isn't much to excuse failing to recognise her own son.

Watch Tats do that anyway despite the giant gaping plot hole you just mentioned. Because Tats.

The really crazy part is that that would still be a more tolerable Ass Pull (as it would finish one storyline of a Kudzu Plot) than an anti-bomf remedy. Lilith has very probably gone from in-universe Genesis to when Lil'E was a toddler with merely a change of eye color, so the apparent burst of aging could be explained by a change of hair style, makeup, facial prosthetics and loose clothing.

But you'd think she would at least try to confirm Lil'E' identify.

I know we have the trope for Bodyguarding a Badass but do we have one for utter and near complete jobbers are bodyguarding a badass? Cause I think I'd rather take The Elements of Harmony as an honor guard over the drones.

Nope, all we have is Bodyguard Betrayal.

Yeah, I think Haggard would be a better bodyguard than this lot.

Well shoot, even the guys from Bad Company can at least hit a barn door! Some part of me thinks that the only reason the drones wiped out most of the XXX sisters was because of sheer volume in shots and targets.

Hmm, Devil, lil e, Xanthe, fuschia, vainglorious, bots, criminy are all in one area. I have a sinking feeling this is gonna be a show down.

Going with Tat's record, I think a massive tease is more likely

Make them pose all you want Tats, you're never gonna let them recover from the time an army of them got effortlessly wiped out by little girls. Those bots will never be a threat anymore.

And neither will the girls because they win too easily.

New comic:

Double double, toil in trouble.

...I can't remember the rest of this thing.

She...she takes the wings off of butterflies!? She's a monster! Who else would willingly cause harm to a creature THAT harmless just for magical power!?

EDIT: Actually, on a more serious note, why would a potion of all things work on a fembot? They have no organic parts like a stomach or anything that could absorb it. It'd just pool somewhere inside them.
