WCDT strips 3756-3760 (4th June to 8th June 2018)
BenRG:
Today's strip is both funny and terrifying at the same time. It's funny because of its intrinsic surreality and it's terrifying because it does suggest that the Melons and Droid-06s out there probably don't automatically understand some of the lessons about the fragility of the human form that Er1-KA is trying to teach!
That aside, given that Jeph wrote this strip, I'm considering it canon unless specifically told otherwise. My mental backstory is that Momo has been talking to Bubbles about her relationship with Faye. We know that Momo seems to be generally attracted to humans and is aroused by human erotica. I now find myself honestly wondering how long it will be (with the example of Bubbles and Faye in mind) before she actually tries to approach Sven and ask him out on a date!
Spider:
I don't want to write up a callout or anything but shes made some shitty stuff in the past like a comic fetishizing trans men (all links are NSFW) and has had some bad discussions on her sex ed comic like when she talked about cuckolding or having a guest recommend sea sponges which can be very dangerous.
idk I know she's apologized for most of that and I get why people like her, but personally I just don't trust her.
For real tho I'm up too late and I worded that post a bit harshly. I don't want to spark any more debates on what's problematic or not. Just my personal distaste.
ANYWAY I still love the comic tho but that's to be expected since it's Jeph's writing

Thanks for taking the time to explain it. I was aware of her comic on cuckoldry and its... problems. I hadn't seen the comic about trans men (as I haven't read DAR) and I had no idea about the sea sponges. I was pretty shocked to see she wrote a trans man calling her out for her fetishism in the comic and then blew him off. That's very off putting.
I think if I had those experiences with her before the rest of her work, I would be more inclined to take your position and I certainly respect it. Given that my first experiences with her are very inclusive and sex positive, I'm a little more inclined to be forgiving. But I totally understand and respect if you don't feel that way.

In case I haven't said it before here, I love how people can have reasonable, respectful, nuanced discussions here and come to an understanding over a topic! The internet appears to be lacking in that, and it's refreshing to see decent people.

Indeed! I've gone back to that strip countless times since that day, and I don't know how many times I've teared up.

"I concur" would be a Brobdingnagian understatement.
Um. Speaking of which... would it be OT to mention here that I wrote some Faybles fanfic and I'm not sure where to post it because the fanfic thread doesn't seem to be active? I just thought of it because I get the impression that you might enjoy it.
