Mr. Doctor:
Ok, I need some fashion enlightenment here.
Why is the manbun or whatever people want to call it so hated? I have long hair but my hairstyle doesn't really allow me to have a bun. So I just go for your average pony tail when I don't want to look like your average metalhead.
What's the reason it got a douche-stain all over it? Just curious.
Neko_Ali:
As far as I can tell, it's the reverse of the cause and effect. Kind of like with the mullet, the trillby/fedora or the 'tramp stamp' tattoos. Certain groups of unpleasant people have taken to wearing these things as a fashion choice and it has become associated with them. So the thought goes, some jerky guys started wearing their hair in a lazy, messy 'bun'. It became associated with them. So if you choose to wear the man bun, you must be one of those jerky guys. People would say 'but that doesn't make sense! You don't have to act like that to wear your hair like that!'. Well no, of course not. But making sense is not a requirement to being judgmental to stereotyping people. In fact it's usually a detriment to doing those things.
improvnerd:
Do we think May is actually damaged, or is she just swearing in the last panel?
J:
for someone who's afraid of AIs being perceived as dangerous, momo can be pretty damn trigger-happy sometimes.

people enjoy being judgmental, and judging other people to be douchebags lets them do it without having to face up to their own douchebaggery
Roxtar:
hope this isn't over the line (more of an art critique than anything else) but on the subject of genitals it appears that Sven has none in this comic.
from bottom of fly to belt buckle in frame 1 is ~ 18 pixels
from bottom of eyeglass lens to top of eyeglass lens is ~ 14 pixels, and Sven isn't wearing huge glasses.
so, either that belt is riding mid-cock (which judging by ass position seems unlikely) or sven is a ken-doll.
Putting the word "genitals" into red text of a huge size was utterly puerile; I normalised it.
the use of "puerile" as a pejorative indicates that being boyish is a negative. please correct your thinking.
