[up]Most likely he's being criticized on Twitter by the dangerhair squad.

Honestly, I'm loving this. It's like Joffry Baratheon picking a fight with Scientologists. The only real winners are the people who hate both groups.

Some of the people who comment elsewhere are actively hoping that twitter will ban him, on various grounds.

I think banning him from Twitter would just drive him to use other, less public means of communication, and would prevent the people who dislike him from keeping track of what he's up to.

New strip: https://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2020-08-07

I have no idea which particular programmable, soulless robot this is. Nor do I care.

The Eight Deadly Words have taken effect.

It's just so boring and mundane. It's him trying to be Edgy(tm).

"She's such a bad ass, you guys. She's refusing the programming."

We've seen this same strip a thousand times. It kind of loses it's effect when you see it over and over again.

I just came to talk about how horrible Sinfest is.

I'm guessing that is one of the rogue fembots, the ones that presumably, have gone underground to avoid detection. So Milton has always been able to track them down and possibly even shut them down remotely?

Given everything that's already gone wrong with the fembots, Milton long ago should have added a small explosive charge that's triggered by a non-overrideable WAN message.

Why the frak would DevilCorp want to convert useful fembots into obnoxious, useless wokebots?

Why would they have the option to disable updates? That seems counter-intuitive to DevilTech's overall plans, especially since the voice makes it sound like an option that's been there previously over one they hacked for themselves.

[up][up][up] Tats has thought of the "clever" idea (by his standards) of painting his detractors as mindless robots.

"Oh, what a painful burn!" he exclaimed, committing these insults to paper, not realising it's barely an insult to begin with and not caring he is further undermining the little narrative Sinfest has left.

Because Tats is the special kind of guy who would cover himself in shit just to get a speckle of it near the people who mocked him.

Disabling updates has been seen before - didn't one use it to disable the "feminity option"?

This is just Tats claiming the Woke are patriarchal conformists and his brand of madness won't buy into the Woke memeplex because his lunacy is superior in it's insight

I'm guessing an adminstrator from one of his social media accounts has been in touch recently and told him to cool it

Well, gee, I'm not too fond of bigots myself.

Of course Tat's conceit is the he's not a bigot! Why, he's a brave crusader!

Unfortunately, regardless of how one personally feels about trans people, these are other human beings who are sometimes murdered, sometimes commit suicide, often suffer rejection from family and go through a lot of psychological pain.

So, Tat is punching down hard at others who go through a lot of tough things in their lives. It's not like they are thrill seekers, or some powerful lobby.

The result is that even to people who are not "pro-trans" or terribly woke, if they are at least empathetic and somewhat fair-minded he just looks like an enormous dick. And a bigot.

He should not be shocked or surprised at how many people react.

I'm confused, why the hell is Milton dropping that update on every fembot? Is he trying to sabotage Nu Pimp's return? Why is the Big D or Blue allowing it? Did they order him to?

Its Tats that ordered him to be as contradictory to the core message of the devilcorp as much as possible

@Tzitzimine: Maybe he finally realized that his "villains" are actually more likable and sympathetic than his "heroes" and decided to make them go Stupid Evil because he has no other ideas.

It also might be noted that Tat, "Mr. Feminism" himself, makes an upgraded "wokebot" about 20 lbs heavier. He then covers her midriff, gives her some studs, that weird half and half hairstyle, and a masculine stance so she becomes not so "woke" looking, as more of a stereotype of what a fundamentalist preacher thinks a "radical feminist" looks like.

Ironically, it strikes me as one of the most misogynistic things I've seen in a long time. This guy doesn't like and admire women. He might actually fear and resent them.

I think this entire storyline is just Tats expressing butthurt about being called a bigot.

While he's clearly being a bigot.

At least the brick wall is back again stealing the show!

[up][up]Stereotype or not, I have seen plenty of women who would call themselves woke that look and act just like this.

Makes me think Tats' only human interaction is on Twitter these days, because that's where they're most common.

Also, agreed that Tats doesn't actually respect women. Ironically, he's fallen into the same trap a lot of "woke" people have. If women don't agree with me, then that means they've internalized misogyny, or have been brainwashed by the patriarchy, or they're selling the rest of us out to get in good with their masters, or something along those lines.

[up] Good observation.

They seem to operate on the principle of "I know I am right. Therefore, if you disagree with me, you can only be (1) ignorant, (2) deluded, or (3) evil."

[up]Seriously, even Tsunderes have their Dere Dere moments, but his is just unpleasant.

Edit: Someone brought this up on the Reddit, and I just had to share it. The fembots user serve as a PG word for sex. Given that, and how Tats has most likely getting brigaded on Twitter over his views, this comic could be seen as Tats lashing out at how those women won't sleep with him.

Tats is a feminist incel.
