Wait, aren't the Fembots Tat's representation of abused women? That we're supposed to sympathize with because their lives lack agency and are just controlled by men? Now all of a sudden they're the villains? Did Tats forget all about the Johnbies and woke protesters?

Sometimes I feel like even Tats doesn't read this comic anymore.

He just throws everything out the window on a whim to fight the latest bugbear he's angry about.

I'm convinced he's just writing for Twitter now.

Tats retcons the meanings of metaphors in Sinfest depending on how he feels on that particular day

If it means throwing away years worth of in world background and lore or ranting about someone or something he doesn't like; he'll throw away the background and lore each and every time

He doesn't like the woke ever since his old forums stopped just kissing his ass and started calling him out on his moral myopia.

I'd guess the current bugbear is the woke are "oppressing" him again by calling him out on his <radio edit> on somewhere like Pettyfest or Twitter

There's a simple solution for Tats

He should stop being such an angry, blinkered, cunt and either learn to stop being such an openly bigoted bastard or just start to ignore sane people who call him out

But his combined raging ego and inferioty complex won't let him do either

It's kind of sad watching this man devolving into such a rancid mess over the years.

Very educational though in the sense of: -

"Look at this Twat! Isn't he a complete and utter Twat!"

Ominous. From what we've seen on "woke mode," it's not really a feature the type of guys who buy these fembots would be all that interested in activating. But if Milton can activate it from his lab as his computer seems to suggest...

Ransomware maybe?

You know, despite all claims to the contrary, it seems that guys with fembots view them as more than just sex toys. The guy in the first panel is actually holding hands with his fembot while taking a stroll through the park, like an actual couple.

Of course, this begs the question: why the hell is Milton uploading a Woke mode into them, which apparently will change them into verbally-abusive harpies? That seems like it would be counterproductive for Devilcorp. It would be like if Apple gave all their Mac products a program that would continuously display a message insulting the user.

If I were to view this in a vacuum, I might speculate that the very first panel is where Tat would really love to be, and Mr. Radical Feminist actually has a pretty deep streak of "incel" in him, whatever his situation is.

The only possible explanation I can think of is that Milton is just throwing a tantrum over losing the Pimp gig and is going into a "Salting the Earth" mode to make sure that no one enjoys fembots. Of course, given he works for the devil and all, one would think this means he's effectively signing up for a few eternities of torment but given this is Sinfets he probably will go away with a slap on the wrist and it will help Devilcorp somehow.

And now that I read what I write I think is the stupidest thing ever. But hey, is Sinfest.

Occam's Razor - the entire reason for this "storyline" is Tats is desperate to strawwomen his female critics for not recognising him as the one true way: - logic, reason and internal world consistency be damned

Shaved monkey syndrome at it's most petulant

Radical feminism at it's most stereotypically bad

1. Install new software on every sexbot that makes them act like abrasive lunatics on demand

2. ?????

[up]The key words there are "On demand"

P.S. Now I think about it, why is the One True Male Ally potraying women calling out men for being assholes as a bad thing?

The doublethink has reached over 9000!

P.P.S. Yes, I know it's because they're calling Tats out

We should start counting Tat's multiple hypocrises in facepalms alerts per second.

FAPS should be an ideal acronym for Tat's value to real feminism evil grin

And so the woke bots are shills for the Patriarchy, outing our female robo heroines to the forces of dorkness for not having a man surgically attached to their arm in public

This could be the start of something good storywise and thoughtfully engaging

Oh forget it, this is Tats: - he always, always takes the germ of any decent ideas he has and buries them in an unmarked grave at midnight

Begone false hope of decent narrative and compelling thoughtful storylines! You have no place in Tat's delusional world of hackneyed trash!

That doesn't make a lick of sense.

Why do they need to become ranting harpies to localize unsupervised fembots? We saw that the Update was attempted to download on the rogue fembot, rejecting wouldn't alert Milton about something being wrong?

If Tats had limited himself to simply having Milton install spyware on every fembot to do this he would have a mildly interesting storyline.

The entire morph into a straw 3rd wave feminist just reveals it to be butthurt about being called out on his bigotry though.

Hexapodia Since: Jun, 2016
#38193: Aug 10th 2020 at 11:43:48 AM

[up] Spyware would make a lot of sense. Imagine what Satan could do with the "intimate details" of the relationships between people (men and women) and their fembots!

But noooooo ... Instead, Milton does the one thing that could alienate him from every human and everyone in DevilCorp.

I don't stick my head in here often, but I feel like the last few comics are a pretty telling evolution of Tatsuya's madness. He's devoting an ever larger portion of his feminist comic to illustrating how much he hates women who disagree with him.

Thank goodness there's someone like him to tell me I'm a piece of shit if I'm not on board with his philosophy. Also, the whole vilification of "danger hair" is... kind of contrary to the idea that women can do what they like with their bodies. Best male feminist award.

Sudden realization:
Absinthe : Monique :: Fembot : Dudebro ...

She performs exactly the same functions as a fembot — emotional support, companionship, sex partner — and in exactly the same way.

Are we sure that she isn't one?

A useful exercise for anyone, on any side of any issue:

Can you state what your opponents believe, in terms that they would agree with? I mean, it's easy to characterize an opponent's beliefs as stupid or evil — "He believes this because he's a doody-head poopy-pants!" — but until you understand why he believes what he does, you can't counter those beliefs effectively and you sure as hell can't convert him to your side.

That's Tats' problem ... and Monique's, come to think of it.

It's the hermit crab concept: "find a shell you're comfortable with, and stay there until you've outgrown it." Sadly, a closed mind doesn't often outgrow its shell of concepts.

The entire appearance change makes the whole premise absolutely ludicrous.

Tats is way more concerned with making his detractors look bad than telling a proper story, as usual.
