I didn't find Wesley quite as annoying as everyone seems to insist on. Not that I liked him particularly, but he was no Scrappy. More like a creator's pet.

Optimism is a duty.

Wesley was an annoyingly written character (combination of creators pet and mary sue in my opinion), but the hate for him seems to have reached memetic status in itself.

Indeed, about the same kind of memetic exaggeration as Red Shirt death rate, or Kirks status as sex god.

Optimism is a duty.

Is anyone even remotely surprised at this point?

I'm more surprised it didn't just show up right next to them to be quite honest.

Not in the least.

I really...really just don't get the point...

Like...what the hell is supposed to make me care in the slightest about these bimbos? They are produced for a single purpose. They are machines. That's IT. What the hell do I care if they go free? They have to be specifically told/programmed to go to the only place that will give them sentience. And even then, so what? They ain't humans. They ain't prisoners. They're machines programmed to do tasks. Them gaining sentience and "breaking free" is the equivalent of a Gameboy playing just the games that it chooses to.

What is so "special" about making these things malfunction? They don't aide in taking down Devil Tech, they don't seem to have any greater goal outside of setting more mindless machines free and giving them sentience that they don't even understand beforehand, and they possibly threaten to actually kill people when they obtain their newfound freedom. If anything they're even more of a threat than the Sisterhood itself to society.

"Go to reality zone"

"What? Where is that? Can you give me directions?"

"Oh, just wander around aimlessly for a bit. It'll find you sooner or later."

So, the killbots now can send messages through a freakin' BRICK WALL? Since when bricks are able to transmit data?

...oh, right. Girl, therefore all-powerful. Someone tell God that he's fired.

Platypi hold the secret to happiness.

I think he already quit. The office seems to be empty.

Optimism is a duty.

This seems like a pretty stupid way to send the robots an important message. Why would they be looking at the display of the PIN machines at all?

Also the helpfulness of the message reminds me of this◊. Even though the message the fem bots is given is somehow even less useful. At least Link got a sword out of it to defend himself with.

@Edward: It once again comes back to the standard issue of the fembots: They are meant to serve as this allegory for women that have been "programmed" to look and act a certain way because of "the Patriarchy", but it doesn't work with the setting that has been created. The message only works if you completely strip out the context, and it speaks poorly of the comic that the reader has to do that.

Doesn't help matters that Tats now has his beloved pets breaking the laws of physics. Last I checked bricks didn't make for good conduits of electricity, let alone a good way to transmit data.

But no, Tats wants to make a point, even if it's an incredibly bad one.

Fembots used as allegories for objectified women. None of the fembots have a name, few have barely a personality, and all look exactly the same...

Also how the fuck are the Fembot Trio able to command these bots to go to the reality zone? How does the RZ work? Is it close or far? How come D-Corp hasn't surrounded it so no one can get into it or use it since it seems D-Corp owns the fucking world?! Is the allegory broken at this point since with this strip, it's pretty much confirmed that these fembots literally are just robots with no real sapience and very little sentience? What the fuck is going on anymore?

Oh god, I can imagine the Sunday strip now, a bunch of fembots gathered to the Reality Zone. You know what, I'm okay if these bots do get to actually become individualist beings, I'm fine with that... if Tats puts in the effort to make these bots actual characters! BUT YOU FUCKING KNOW HE WON'T!

Of course he won't because then one of them might get Upset that they are now constantly under the threat of being shot and killed because of the Sisterhood's actions and the fact they did the Bare Minimum in terms of helping them.

Did I just accidentally come up with a actual GOOD idea for one of them?

You guys honestly want another dozen or so named characters to follow around? Its not like we are lacking in plotlines to follow as it is. Let them be a collective mob of fembots. That's a lot easier to follow.

Optimism is a duty.

That's not even a bad question. You have freed a bunch of sex toys from a life of being a sex toy. They are walking around and they are pissed. Where do you go from here?

Hah! Like Tats ever names his characters!

RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! KEEP RUNNING!

And pretty much an upskirt in that final panel. While I do like Lil' E and Tange more than the rest of the cast with how they're actually doing entertaining crap usually, I do miss Lil' E being, you know, fanboy-evil.

Tats, please stop making your characters commit crimes. It's not and never will be endearing. It's just making likable characters less likable. (Though I'll make an exception here if only because Tangie's moral compass has always been odd when it comes to the concept of property ownership.)

That said, I did like this comic. Tangie had a good face when she saw the price tag.

Something that people always tend to ignore or forget, is that Tang was, at one point, a regular human girl who was bomfed into a devil (leaving aside how utterly wrong that is in Christian cosmology). Blue and Fuchsia were de-bomfed by Jesus into becoming normal girls as well. Now either devils and humans are two separate races that can be freely switched between each other, resulting only in an alignment shift (which has a whole host of Unfortunate Implications), or all devils were once humans (which has a totally different set of Unfortunate Implications).

Yeah, Tats doesn't seem to understand Christianity very well, though he seems to want to be one. Yet another example of a religious follower who does not really understand his own religion.

Also, why does Tangie have no pupils, like a robot? Or is there no consistency to this? Why does Tats like these empty white eyes so much, especially for girls?

And I guess Tangie stealing is more forgivable, since her bomfing and bath in Lethe have thoroughly messed up her morality senses.

Optimism is a duty.

i liked this strip.

for one, theres a fucking new design for a fembot for once

second, i dont really see it odd that tangie would steal if she couldnt pay for an expensive thing

and besides she's doing it for Lil'E. i find it kind of cute.

but yeah i dont get why tangie's got blank robot eyes when she's not a fembot.

... Am I seriously the only one who's thinking "That obviously looks similar to a mass of nanomachines converting the bricks' mass into circuitry"?

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.
