Well considering what the people that are being "totally oppressed" are dealing with when compared to the issues in other countries,it could be compared to that of a child misbehaving and being forced to stay in their room and a person being sent to a oubliette. Yes both have their freedom taken away from them, but man its on two totally different ends of the spectrum.

America is oppressing me by not buying my comics.

Hitler oppressed people.

America is just like Hitler!

Pre-jailbreak prep montage! Looks like we're going back on this plotline now.

Yeah, I got no gripes. Do it the only way Tangie knows how kids.

BALLS TO THE FUCKING WALL!

Their strength is as the strength of ten because their hearts are pure ... or something like that.

I wonder if they'll free Pyro J. Molotov, too?

Wait. Why does Li'l E's vault contain an entire box of angel glitter? When and how did he acquire that?

And Tats still hasn't fixed the "DOMINATON" typo in Saturday's comic. None of his fans have mentioned it, so he apparently doesn't read this forum. I'm heartbroken.

This had better play out like a 3 stooges sketch, or I will be SO disappointed.

...ever wondered if Tats still thinks that the comic is fun? "Oh, ha ha ha! They're so going to bust a gut at this! Look at the damn patriarchists getting kicked in the nuts, it's so hilarious!"

I vaguely remember Lil'E and/or Tangie earning some glitter points a while back.

I'm curious to see how they are going to get into a police station while visibly armed.

@ Hexapodia

Don't assume he doesn't read this forum yet. I always get the feeling Tats just never goes back to fix mistakes. It's like the Molotov thrower getting visibly darker over time or other oddities in the art we have noticed that would have been easy to fix.

Is Li'l E wearing a Cub Scout uniform, or what? I think they're going to claim to be cops. (And while the cops are laughing hysterically, they'll sneak in.)

Don't assume he doesn't read this forum yet.

There's evidence from the past 48 hours that Tats doesn't even read his own forum, or at least not very often.

Maybe he reads them, but doesn't care about some opinions/complaints.

Given that he did a Take That, Critics! comic when even his brown nosers were feeling a bit iffy about something, it's safe to say Tats doesn't like listening to ANY criticism.

Oh he avoids listening to criticism as much as humanly possible, but I'm sure he does read whatever people are saying about him and he does care at some level.

Why else bother to do Take That comics aimed at people who disagree with you?

x(however many) What I was actually making fun of with that "totally oppressed" jibe is people who are incredibly privileged and have never been actually oppressed at all, who only think they are being oppressed because the world does not revolve around them, then take to social media to cry about it, blaming the Patriarchy, the government, the 1%, or what have you for their supposed miserable lot in life.

Mildly amusing. Probably bad news for the flying eyeball, though.

Oh dear...if what I think is going to happen happens, the eyeball drone is not going to last long.

Oh dear god, DEVILCOR IS FORCING THE WINDOWS 10 UPDATES!

Hmm. Could we be seeing Narrative Causality at work here? Reprogramming the Good Drone back to evil might be one of those things that has to happen in order to avoid a plot rupture. In particular, I'm wondering if Tange and Li'l E are going to visit the Witches' Inn soon.

Consider: Right now Eyeball is one of the good guys. But if he were to visit the Witches' Inn as he is now, either he'd (1) see the stacked corpses of his fellow drones and freak out (leaving readers wondering about the morality of killing sapient drones), or else (2) he'd be killed on sight by Aunt Kate (leaving readers wondering whether Aunt Kate might actually be evil). But if he's reprogrammed to be evil, then he'll either avoid the Witches' Inn (likely, I think) or else be killed with justification by Aunt Kate (less likely but possible).

There are, of course, many other ways in which the reprogramming could play out. But the issue of Kate killing sapient drones is sort of a morality land mine, and I can't help wondering whether Tats intends to avoid it or jump on it.

Or they are just going to get a free ticket through DevilTech's latest security updates!

Dang. In terms of Narrative Causality, that's a much more elegant explanation!

I still wonder what Eyeball's reaction to all those drone corpses would be, though ...

That would be interesting, but might be a little too dark for Tats.

Probably so ... but I'd like to see him examine his premises and resolve the contradictions.

Sometimes the drones (and the fembots) are just machines, acting according to their programming or to external control (e.g., Milton's control console, or the remote that controlled Slick's fembot). Sometimes they're sapient and sentient, and the readers are encouraged to sympathize with them. The two states shift back and forth essentially at random, as the plot and Tats' heavy-handed allegories require. When they're machines, they can be destroyed by the Sisterhood and by Aunt Kate with no more remorse than you'd have if you threw away a toaster. Yet when they're sapient, they can be "woke" (like Eyeball) and they can be enslaved (which we're told is evil). Tats, make up your mind!

He had Auntlers imprison a drone in a stasis field, doing who knows what to it and her only comment on that was, "He deserves it." I would not put it past him to go down a similar route here.

"Resisters"? You threw a fucking firebomb, asswipe! One that you just happened to be carrying. What were you "resisting," an ice age?

Is "resister" even a word in English? Seems like he should just say "rioter" or something.
