The strip is twice as big as usual for some reason.

He's using the version that would have been posted to twitter. He used to lower the resolution and degrade to greyscale for Sinfest strips.

[up][up][up] This appears to be deeply ingrained and he's going to have a hard time letting go over there in the beating heart of modern patriarchy.

Tats still considers himself a feminist. But in his mind the so-called feminists who don't agree with TERFs have gone off the rails ...

Curiously Tats didn't post today's comic on his twitter.
I guess he recognizes his new fans, wouldn't like this comic.

Our "rebel" folks - fears the reaction of his new readers.

Curiously the "conservative husband" who was zombie handmaid's client does appear very similarly to, maybe even is the leader of the "BLM Wokebies" from the finale of the 2020 arc.
I guess he was a client of the Handmaids in his woke phase, he grew to regret and now is "reformed" as an Alt-Right MAGA conservative husband.

This only reinforces why this character would not be alive anymore in the setting Tats has established. Why have a hooker that outs clients?

Someone on Reddit pointed out that Tats doesn't swap beliefs for whatever appeals to him at the moment, but rather just smushes them on to his previous ones, forming a kludge of seemingly disparate beliefs tied together by his laziness and narcissism. I don't think this makes him more irritating than a regular TERF or MAGA- I've met my share and they're all a pain in the ass- but good lord, it's obnoxious.

"The Bad Place" is yet another example of how Tats tends to make his strawmen reasonable and sensible about most things.

Concerning the John that got outed yesterday, he is pretty much proof for why Zombie Hooker is kept around. Like in real life, in Festerville there seems to be lots of people with a fetish for sordid things, like getting off on having a repulsive sexual partner.

Sorta like Moralton from Moral Orel.

I have to agree with Hex. This is a massive waste of a woman who can control time but is only around for one year before you have to catch her again.

[up][up] In the case of poor Slick, that partner was himself. I'm far too lazy to go and find it, but it wasn't long ago Tat had Slick preparing to engage in the "Solitary Sin" with some bizarre politically correct sexless phone service. Some sort of pronoun fetish I think.

A truly brutal trashing of a character who was once one of the principals of the strip.

The strip is twice as big as usual for some reason.

The strips are twice a stupid for no reason whatsoever.

It's the third strip in a row Tats didn't post on twitter (hence he posted it in twitter quality resolution on his site). It seems hayate666 is right, and Tats cannot post yet on twitter, even if his account is visible, or Tats fears posting his strips now, as he doesn't want to get suspended or even banned...

This is probably going to lead to a confrontation between the wokesters and the MAGA, with Monique and Tex joining hands as Hetero Normative Crusaders fighting for the Christian Right against those pesky transpeople.

[up] It's interesting the second and third panels, seem to be brand new assets/actually drawn.
Which is funny, as before the "Woke Trio", were among the most copy paste characters in the comic, as they had basically the same picture reused (even present in the first panel here), with very slight modifications:

I've been thinking about some of the criticism that's been aimed at Tats. I'm genuinely confused by claims that he's anti-gay. I could be wrong, but I can't think of any instances in which he's been critical of gays or lesbians per se. I'd say he's been condescending toward male homosexuals — some of the jokes about Francis Sebastian, for example — but noting really critical of them. And to the best of my knowledge, Purple Pill Sinfest has been nothing but supportive of lesbians. (That statement doesn't apply before 2011, though.)

I think Tats subscribes to what's been called "Stay in Your Lane" Feminism. He seems to be okay with L, G, and B, but not T or Q — no crossovers allowed! Ls, Gs, Bs, and heterosexuals are all good, as long as they don't invade other groups' turf. Note: Some people in this camp also would exclude bisexuals. There's a case to be made that Original Monique may have been bisexual, or at least open to the idea; Purple Pill Monique does not seem to be okay with it.

The zombies seem to be exclusively T and Q. Perhaps he views them as Chaotic Evil.

(There's one inconsistency, though: Tats keeps using the rainbow flag in addition to the various incarnations of the trans flag. I dunno ... maybe because that flag includes everyone, and he doesn't buy into that?)

Reactions?

Everyone who doesn't agree with Tats is his enemy and either stupid and wrong, or more likely, evil and wrong

That's the level of mental finesse he's barely capable of

I've started to wonder further about whatever might have caused all of this in the beginning. The most obvious thing about current Sinfest is that he hates transpeople, especially transwomen, while the anti-porn and anti-sex work has also stuck around for a long time after 2011. There are also hints that a break-up from his ex might be a huge factor and that he was motivated by trying to win her back, for a while at least. Maybe she broke up with him due to a crippling porn addiction?

I see loads of possibilities related to that factor. One is that he is outside of his webcomic likely to be unemployed, due to a lack of a work ethic that would have given him stable work at the comic book industry. I've known plenty of lazy bums mooching off of supportive girlfriends, so I can picture Tats staying at home all day long entertaining himself, while the girlfriend does everything else to keep the household afloat. Add to that him probably watching porn most of the time, causing resentment in her.

Hex has mentioned that Tats' ex in the pictures looks Latin, while there is a cringy Notes From the Resistance of him getting a stiffy staring at a Latin woman at a laundromat. That makes me think that Tats could very likely have fetishized his girlfriend to uncomfortable degrees, since I don't get a feeling that he would ever have been the most mature boyfriend. That's a treatment most would get fed up with, but I think that the last straw might have been if Tats started watching TS porn, obsessively so.

I'm speculating here, but what if it is that simple? He watched some TS porn and loathes all transwomen for it, blaming them for his own failures?

[up]I think it's even more simple: -

The woke became his enemy because they spit on his screeching abuse at sex workers, therefore anyone the woke support are his enemies

Trans are especially his enemies because he's both been indoctrinated to 2nd wave Terfisms and the woke support Trans

Since the alt right allow him to hate Trans, and they hate the woke/minorities too, he's signed up to their memeplex just like he did with 2nd wave Terfs

Tats always goes balls to the wall in, into any insane little cult he joins. I suppose the massive void in his soul means he needs to belong to something, no matter how many former principles he has to piss on

Deep intellectual thinking is NOT the hallmark of our chundering moron. He may have a decent intellect, but he's dump statted his wisdom score

Expecting complexity from Tats? Give me a break: - He's exactly as subtle as the cretin he truly is

The "man" is a clocktower sniper in the making and a defacto "Wannabe" cultist

Tats is only ever, and only ever will be, a follower

"Tats is only ever, and only ever will be, a follower"

I would add, he's a follower who thinks he's a leader. He really seems to think that his screeds are Very Important, and then goes on banning runs when people question him.

So the implication here is that all the violence is committed by Antifa itself and FBI plants, right?
