      So three on one. Two are misinformed idiots and the thirds cosplaying as scarface, theres a girl in a yellow spandex suit who tries to sound like batman in the Nolan films and there’s a governor electoral debate going on in like what? five minutes, there’s nothing interesting that could come from this set up. 😉

        I sincerely doubt that the two idiots are misinformed. Joyce straight up jacked up his face. The fact that he didn’t go to the police to report “that bongo” for Smurfing his face would have been a giveaway that he earned that cut by doing something highly illegal.

          I like to use Smurf as a filter for certain curse words. I find it amusing. It makes watching any episode of The Smurf hilarious to imagine they are filthy potty mouths.

        7. Tan

          09/10/2016, 1:11 am

          They may or may not know about the drugging, but smart money’s on they either know or are choosing to be willfully ignorant that Ryan was attempting sexual advances without Joyce’s consent.

          I imagine his ‘side’ of the story to his friends goes something like “I was working this chick all night, I FINALLY get her alone when all of a sudden she completely flips out into a raging [misogynist term of choice] out of nowhere and breaks her glass across my face! Then her friend [whose gender is probably left out] comes up and sucker-punches me before I can teach that [misogynist term of choice] a lesson.”

          And they were likely all “Man, I get you. Percussion instruments be crazy.” Because even if they aren’t predators themselves, I will bet you that they are exactly the type to perpetuate that culture that looks at women as prizes to be claimed with little to no agency of their own.

        8. Sheason

          Percussion instruments. Man, Willis is getting more and more creative with those filters, isn’t he? I love it!

          09/10/2016, 3:20 pm

          My 99% guess was actually referring to people, in the comments in general, engaging in self-censorship.

        14. Tenn

          09/10/2016, 5:09 pm

          And they were likely all “Man, I get you. Percussion instruments be crazy.”

          I actually processed this sentence as intended before I realized that heeeeey, “percussion instrument” is not a synonym for “female dog”!

          Our comment section jargon is starting to get more convoluted than Cockney rhyming slang. 😀

          Wait, don’t you snap your fingers four times in a Z formation, one snap for each point of the “Z”?

        3. Terry

          09/10/2016, 10:55 am

          You snap the lines, not the points. Move your hand across while snapping, down and over while snapping, and across once again while snapping. This ends the “drag queen in a tizzy” tutorial.

          09/10/2016, 10:57 am

          I thought I was the only one! Except I’m right handed and snap with my left. Apparently, I look in the mirror and see the devil.

          Thats weird. I can do it with my left (rrally loudly for whatever reason) but i can never get my right hand to pull it off. Correctly anyway.

        5. Needfuldoer

          09/10/2016, 8:18 am

          It took me a long time to get it right. Think of it as a movement of the thumb, not the fingers.

          Start with a loose fist (like an ASL letter A), lift the index and middle fingers, and put your thumb underneath the first knuckle on both. Squeeze a bit with your middle finger, and move your thumb outward. The middle finger should ‘spring down’ on its own and snap against the base of your thumb.

          My problem was trying to focus on doing everything with just the fingers. They don’t accelerate fast enough to get a good snap.

          I got so pissed off at my parents and the people around me being able to whistle that I spent a good month trying non-stop when I was like 7 or 8 I think… so I’ve known how to since then.

          09/10/2016, 7:43 pm

          09/10/2016, 12:52 am

          Taylor: The 13th President of the United States. Prior to becoming President, he was a general who had a reputation for being an incredible badass, but once in office he soon died of food poisoning from eating some spoiled cherries. Was the reason that Millard Fillmore became President.

          Dawson: The star of some stupid teen-focused TV show that I never watched.

          I don’t know why you’d say that; President Taylor wasn’t a comedian at all. He actually took a hard-line stance against the expansion of slavery to the recently “acquired” southwestern territories, and when the Southern states started grumbling about it, he said that if anyone tried seceding from the Union, he’d go down there and hang them himself.

          Now Tyler, the answer of “Where’d he go?” was to the Confederacy. Freakin’ traitor. You can call him a comedian if you want.

          yeah, and keep in mind she’s been trained in self-defense. she knows what she’s doing. these dudes might have been in lame “you were dancin’ with mah lady” slap fights, but the difference between some schmuck who thinks he knows how to fight and a person who actually has fight training and experience becomes apparent pretty quickly. three against one might make things tricky, but as long as she remains calm and controls the situation, she’ll be fine.

      My prediction is Amazigirl gets in over her head fighting 3v1, she is holding her own but losing, and Sal comes in at the last second to help, forcing Amber to reevaluate how she perceives her.

        Sal saving Amazi-girl from becoming a smear on the pavement didn’t earn her respect last time though, in fact it made her angrier

        1. Spencer

          09/10/2016, 1:59 pm

          Maybe.

          Amber hated Sal for saving her because she robbed Amazi-Girl of her dignity, that Amazi-Girl totally could have saved Becky like that shitty little coward Amber couldn’t have saved Becky.

          But now Amber’s been placed in a situation where she’s been forced to register Sal as an actual human being who is undeserving of the crowd’s hatred for her. That pursuing her vengeance against Sal right now is not The Right Thing To Do, which is in complete contradiction of Amber’s narrative of Sal being Criminal Scum that Amazi-Girl can rain righteous vengeance upon.

          If Sal jumps in to help in a way that Amber perceives as “I had to bail you out because you’re a little sucky baby just like you were when I took your friend hostage” then Amber can feel confident in continuing to hate her, but with what she’s been confronted with today, with her pushing Danny away and doubling down on how Amazi-Girl needs to be perfect, I think we’re in for some advancement, or at the very least Amber starting to question her views.

          “You can’t prove anything” means exactly that, though, with the addition of “and I’m stupid and dishonest enough to think saying this is a defense”.

          I suppose “Don’t you know who I am?” might be in the running as a topper, but given the previous strip I don’t think that one’s going to happen.

          Bonus: There’s now at least two more people there who know who Ryan is. Y’know the old saying about secrets, yeah?

      I actually am worried for Amazi-Girl.  She had a reason for what she did to Blaine and she went so far over the line that Danny had to intervene and keep her from killing him.  Now, she feels justified for whatever she would do to Ryan (and by association, his two friends) … and I’m afraid how far she would go if unchecked.

        I really don’t think Amber is that vicious by default. That incident with Blaine was entirely provoked by him – her physically/emotionally abusive father who was stalking her abducted her boyfriend – and it pushed her WAY over the edge. Amber has a lot of anger that she isn’t dealing with but she’s been good so far at keeping it appropriate.

      Yup. It’s a rather stark contrast that the crowd faces here seem confused or stunned rather than cheering her on in the similar aggressive manner they did the impending fight with Sal.

        I’m still trying to figure out what “dude check out his scar” means. Does he think it’s a wicked cool scar? Does he think the guy looks like trouble? Does he find the scar itself attractive, and is rating its appearance on a scale of ten? I have to know!

          For me it was worried. Like they noticed it after he started flipping out, like maybe he’s a dangerous thug. But I could just be projecting.

          09/10/2016, 2:30 am

          You know that looked like a normal glass glass… How the hell did she hit him hard enough to actually break it?

          Also, she hit him before the drugs kicked in and I definitely did not need to reread that party scene.

          Ryan is way worse than I remembered. He was looking for a “mark” from the beginning and the trick he used to get Joyce to drink the drink she refused was downright evil.

        3. WhoWasI

          09/10/2016, 12:04 pm

          Also, who uses breakable glasses at a party? The ones I have shatter completely if you hold them too tight.

          Joyce may not have felt the drug till after, but suppressive drugs mess up your coordination and reaction times long before that. But Ryan still lost, so AG should be able to mop the floor with him. He’s use to getting his way by manipulation, like you pointed out, not by force.

          However, if the three fight dirty, as expected, or some of the crowd joins in, AG could need Sal’s help.

          09/10/2016, 3:38 pm

          The thing about that particular manipulation I mentioned was just how planned and targeted it was. That wasn’t just “Get her to drink this thing” It was “Here’s how to manipulate and take advantage of a person’s fundamental behavior and psychology.” It was an “I’ve done this a hundred times. I know how people work.” kind of manipulation… which is retrospectively terrifying for what it probably means…

          Now I have an image of Ryan and his “bros” getting together to trade tips and techniques, or even do practice runs on how to do this stuff. Agghh! I assume there’s even how-to websites, (No I don’t want to know).

          I did, unfortunately, hang out with a group of complete douchebags for a large part of one year of high school and should not have let them get away with spewing anywhere near as much shit as they did, but, as much as it saddens me, the only time I actually got on their case about it was when they audibly made fun of a girl in a wheelchair who came out of an elevator and passed by practically within earshot, if not certainly within earshot, of her. I gave them no end of shit for that and they shut up pretty quickly thankfully.

      It’s pretty difficult to actually gang up on someone and fight them effectively, especially if you’re a group of bozos who probably don’t know much about fighting except “uh power in numbers right”.

      I think she’ll have a hard time if she lets her guard down (entirely possible with how eager she is) and Sal will have to jump in yeah, but there’s plenty of ways to control fighting space and fight multiple people at once with… some effectiveness.

    Now, here’s what I’m worried about. He says that Joyce “sent” Amazi-Girl. Now, even if she beats the shit out of Ryan and his thugs, I’m pretty sure that he’d want to retaliate. Not against Amazi-Girl, if she beats the shit out of the three of them, that would be too hard, but against Joyce.

      Before you get too worried, this might not be Ryan’s first rape attempt. If he is recognized on social media, then other victims will likely come forward to verify that he is a rapist. Bringing enough evidence to have him arrested before he can retaliate against Joyce.

      Considering that he was absorbed in the task of trying to get her alone, I don’t think he even knows Joyce’s name (he never called her as such). It’s been a month – he probably just has a vague rememberance of her features and that’s it.

      In your defense, however, he does seem (understandably) hung up about what she did to his face. Even though he totally deserved it, a scar of that magnitude means he’s effectively disfigured for most of his life. I’d be worried he’s been stalking her, waiting to exact revenge.

          I’d say regardless of how this night goes he has a reasonable chance to choose to do so now, even if he hasn’t been at least looking for a chance to do so before.
          He literally just told them she sent Amazi-girl after him. Not doing “something” about Joyce after that, especially if they all get both beat up (“by a girl no less”) and arrested is going to be seen as a significant loss of face among his ilk when even just one or the other would be seen as bad enough. Then there’s the potential loss of this networking opportunity which their parents likely set up for them (a common occurrence in both parties) which they likely will hear about quite a lot especially as this is a rally for someone seeking reelection to national office so has probably got plenty of press on scene who will talk about this and show clips on the morning news. Just following through on their decisions so far will have them facing plenty of consequences if no legal ones, so Ryan, if not his entourage here as well, will likely now try to retaliate against Joyce.

        4. Vulcanodon

          09/10/2016, 2:50 pm

          I’m worried about that too. But when she isn’t drugged, Joyce isn’t exactly a pushover. And, thanks to slashdouche, she doesn’t go out alone anymore. One or several of these bros confronting the people who nursed her through that awful night? Won’t go well for them. Extra-serious stomping would ensue.

      CONTENT WARNING: Description of how misogynistic assholes somehow have friends

      Its surprisingly easy. Even if Dawson and Taylor aren’t bad guys themselves, shitheels like Ryan can be particularly difficult for other men to detect, because they treat other men like actual people. Ryan went that party alone, so I imagine he keeps that kind of thing — or at least the key details — to himself.

      And since Ryan just looks and acts like a regular guy to them, anyone suggesting otherwise is just trying to sling shade on their bro. Probably because they’re on their period or something. All bros know periods can explain anything you want to dismiss immediately. And if that fails, “bros before hos” should work for the rest. Gotta hammer in those rules, bro! Don’t think about them, they’re just the rules!

      Of course, that’s assuming they’re not just as bad as him. They could well be. Or maybe they only use alcohol but not drugs (not that its any better, but they totally think it makes a difference). This kind of toxic attitude towards women thrives when it’s reinforced by other like-minded misogynist fuckwits.

      I experienced plenty of it (usually from a distance, thankfully) in high-school and college, though most of the red flags went unnoticed at the time. I don’t actually know if any actually went on to assault anyone, but I’d be surprised if none of them had.

        ^Spot on.

        In addition, it’s also entirely possible he’s outright lied to them (being charitable here until these guys are proven to be equals in fuckstickery, which I’m sure they will be quite soon), fabricating some story about how “that bongo” attacked him with a piece of glass unprovoked or after she “misunderstood” his flirting or something.

        What seems clear is that he represented himself as a victim to his friends, so as far as they know/are concerned, he’s the victim, and this costumed woman is just attacking him for no good reason. Don’t you know Ryan here has been through so much already?

        Even if you leave misogyny out of it for a moment, the fact is, if you know someone well and think of them as a friend, you’ll probably at least try to rationalize anything bad you find out about them. Or are inclined to believe their version of events. Because they’re your friend, you want to give them the benefit of the doubt, because you trust them.

        So best case scenario, these guys are going to find out some unpleasant truths about their “bro,” and drop him like the P.O.S. he is. Worst case scenario, they’re every bit as bad as he is, and they all deserve equal shares of the can of whoopass they’re about to have opened on them.

Your masculinity is at least in major part based on and seen as rewarded by “getting that puss”, but the way you’re encouraged to behave under the strictest parts of it demand behavior based on actively doing things to harm women. So the only way to “succeed” and “retain your man card” is to turn to “other” means of “having success” usually involving some form of rape or at least escalating layers of creep.

        For an example, just look at PUA culture and how much of the language emphasizes ideas of masculinity, of being alpha, of being a winner, but so many of the techniques taught are literally techniques to violate boundaries and make women uncomfortable and isolated from anyone who could come to their aid.

        Dawson and Taylor may not be rapists themselves, but they are deep in that bro culture and Ryan, by his “successes” is a winner. And the bro code is firm to stand up for your buddy no matter what, especially against evil lying women. “Bros before (slurs for sex workers)”.

        Not to mention that it’s hard to view your friend as someone who would do something awful. Like, they’re your friend, so they must be a decent guy, otherwise what would it say about me that I’ve been friends with him while he was doing all this awful stuff? So you want to instinctively defend them.

        Add to that the simple fact that the most successful rapists and abusers tend to be full of charisma and great at putting on their best face with everyone but their targets so as to make it harder for their targets to report on them and so they have the support of the community to rally behind them…

        And well… Ryan is that. He’s a pastor’s son, he’s a political volunteer, he’s probably kind and funny and full of “great stories” to them. And so of course someone attacking him must be in the wrong and anything they accuse him of must be wrong, because “everyone knows” he’s a great guy.

      Same way he got Joyce to thrust him at first, act charming, talk to them about they want to hear, leave any distateful detail of yourself, and I bet he also could made use of his whiteness and apparent harmless looking face. So what these guys may know at most is that somebody make a gash on his face but you can bet he told them that it was because the bongo was crazy and not because he tried to rape somebody.

      Security steps in, stops and fight and send AG out of the rally. They are there to prevent disturbances. They don’t care what the disruption is about.

      Consequences for Ryan happen off screen in the future. As much as we might like it, I don’t foresee a ten strip fight here. Police involvement would be very bad for AG ( and the narrative). Everyone would be taken into custody until they could figure things out. No way that a fight ends up well for AG, so no fight will happen.

      AG walks away, Ryan and buddies get restrained. No one dies or gets arrested. And Ryan knows that he is truly fucked and that the shitstorm is just beginning. Winning is the best revenge. AG can go back to Joyce and let her know Ryan has been exposed and named.

    Comic Reactions:

    Panel 1: “You can’t prove anything”, the favored dodge of scoundrels everywhere and it works tiringly well for things like rape, because the burden of proof is often exceedingly high. So simply repeating that there’s no proof while leaving general threats and encouraging your “bros” to harass can even protect you as your crimes become more public and your former victims come out of the woodwork to detail your crimes.

    See any number of serial rapist or sexual harassers in various fields, trusting their army of fans to “get their back” against the (slurs for women perceived as sexually active) who have “committed libel/slander” against them “ruining their good name”.

    Panels 1-2: And yeah, that’s the rub. AG is right, she probably can’t prove anything, certainly not to the level where he’d actually face legal consequences and certainly not to the level where Joyce wouldn’t be suffering far worse of a fate than Ryan for pursuing it.

    But it’s a small important thing. Getting his face out there, getting his name out there, so the campus has warning, so his next “mark” has a slightly better chance of knowing she’s being targeted, so the next party host can eject him on sight.

    It’s not a perfect solution to the missing stair problem, but it’s the best that can be done when all the repair tools are far out of the hands of anyone who could possibly give a shit. Cause rapists love the small talk, they can thrive in it. Can make it so their victims are crazy and just trying to hurt them to “get revenge” for something. Love when the newbie who looks out of place hasn’t been whispered to about the “nice looking boy” with the penchant for blue.

    Panel 3: And Plan A comes to fruition. Kicking his butt.

    Panel 4: Ah, bro code. Fuck the bro code. Fuck the toxic masculinity underpinning it. Fuck the casual sexism. Fuck how it props up all sorts of mythologies about how “(slurs for women) always be lyin’ “. Fuck how it breeds this cesspool where rapists and abusers are protected and where women are reduced to meat.

    Also, can’t help noticing that the crowd is much less animated about intervening and cheering on this bit of impending violence that AG is much more confident about. It’s a mystery as to why.

    And that last line… yeah, of course that’s what he’d take away. Rapists always have a means of making themselves the aggrieved party, the wounded party, the party somehow done wrong so that the (slur for woman) deserved it.

    And worse, this confirms that he knows it’s Joyce. Maybe not by name, but definitely by appearance. And if he already wasn’t trying to find her… hoo boy, he’ll be even more wanting to track her down after getting his butt beaten up by a superhero whose threatening to out his awfulness on social media.

    Panel 5: Fucking bro code… ugh… But seriously, as a metaphor, this works astoundingly well as a visual representation of how misogynist men will flock to a rapist’s defense no matter what and defend his actions always, denouncing and attacking any who point out “their boy”‘s crime.

    It’s happened time and time again in a lot of communities I’ve belonged to.

          Speaking meta here, but if Amber stops being Amazi-Girl then crime as a concept the story will address also stops.

          Speaking in-story, if Amber doesn’t stop then she’s going to get turned into hamburger meat by a truck.

      I’d kinda like to point out one thing you said there. “he’ll be even more wanting to track her down after …” You think he’d go that far? Honestly, if this ends up going that badly.
      I mean, I know he and Joyce will have to have a face to face eventually.
      At least, that’s how it seems. But. How soon after this?

        Not sure… this might be a sword of Damocles situation like with Toedad.

          09/10/2016, 12:50 pm

          So far DoA has completely avoided the real world horror of Toedad’s trial where Becky, Joyce and Dina would be mercilessly grilled by his defense lawyers in open court. And I can’t see Toedad pleading guilty since he’s sure that “God is on his side”.

          Ryan’s trial would be even worse. Far worse for Joyce than her nightmares.

          (And my, I’m sorries, to Cerberus and others for any pain this may be causing you.)

          Not quite. It’ll probably be about a month for the preliminary hearing to be done, then about 60 days before an actual court day (can vary depending on how overworked the court is) assuming no one files for additional time for information gathering. Also depends if Toedad hires his own lawyer or uses a public defender. Actually he could represent himself (best case scenario for the trio) which I can see him opting for.

          If Willlis decides to include this it’ll be a while, real time for it to show up. Also I feel that there’s a chance he might place himself in situations where he will be hurt or possibly killed as a way to harm Becky. There’s quite a few paths he could easily choose behind bars.

        3. WhoWasI

          09/10/2016, 7:40 pm

          Like I said, “So far”. Hopefully, based on how long you mentioned it takes to happen, combined with the in-comic time vs. real world time, it will be a decade from now, our time. I’ll set a reminder to start dreading it in 2025.

          And yeah, Toedad’s “God is on his side” attitude could “negative impact his survival rate” among the “heathens” behind bars, especially if he tries to “fix” them. (quotes quota achieved!)

      Spot on analysis as usual. 🙂

      Regarding Amazigirl’s choice of one-liner in panel 6 though, I’m wondering if I’m the only person who feels that it sort of plays into the same toxic cultural things? (Namely the use of lack of sexual prowess as a go-to insult)

        I believe hardline gender divides goes hand in hand with it. Any gender specific insults dehumanize all genders. Like calling a guy a ‘pussy’ is to call him weak, cowardly, as well as indicates that women are the same.

    So I feel like making some easy money here. 10 bucks says Amazigirl kicks a fair amount of ass but becomes overwhelmed until Sal and/or Marcie step in to help her out.

    Even easier money- 20 more bucks says this moment of not being completely at one another’s respective throats creates (or more likely just attracts more members to) the Sal/Amazigirl ship.

      I’ll toss in a small 5 dollar bet on an unmasking. Nobody she’s gone against has ever tried it, so she probably won’t be considering it as a possibility, and that’d have some pretty good Consequences to carry all through the book. (Though on the other hand, I haven’t looked through the preview panels to see whether a still-masked AG is in later strips still doing the vigilante thing because dialup is sloooow, and it would also make a good book-ending cliffhanger to have her unmasked, hence the small bet)

    I’m curious to see where this goes. Just as a narrative structure, I see a lot of potential for things to go horribly wrong here. This is the beginning of the book, so if Ryan is meant to be a major source of conflict or trauma, it would be an odd choice to wrap it up so early.

    It is certainly possible his reappearance is meant to progress Amber/AG’s arc or Sal’s (given that the book began with a flashback of Sal’s childhood). Perhaps AG grinding him into a stain on the floor is a catalyst for growth, but I am very worried that won’t be the case.

    Actually, has anyone thought of the possibility that Ryan didn’t tell his bros the whole story and they don’t know his crime when standing up for him? Because I can’t imagine him going out for beers and bragging about roofiing a girl. They might have a version of the incident in their heads where Ryan got the scar innocently. I wish Amazi-girl had asked them if they knew, they might have said ‘woah stop, not cool bro’

    See, I’m thinking that since Joyce never filed a report, and since it’s her word against his, with his being associated with an ‘upstanding family values’ politician, that this is just going to turn into a sh!tstorm that drags Joyce through the mud. I mean, she already brought her gay friend and all that drama onto campus, and now she has masked vigilantes beating up a guy who she claims drugged and attempted to assault her (‘hey, I turned her down, bros! she’s just salty she couldn’t get a piece of this! hurr hurr’)
    I dunno, this just feels like it’s going to go spectacularly bad in the long term, even if Amazegirl does manage to pull off pounding Douchey McRapey into pieces. :/

    Also “give me that phone”? Does scarface not know how the internet or cloud servers work? It doesn’t matter if you delete the pic off a phone AFTER it’s uploaded. Once it’s been uploaded it belongs to the internet.

      It would be a long shot, but if AG was still logged in, some social media lets you delete your own uploads. (They don’t actually get deleted. They just stop being visible.)

      Is Ryan thinking that clearly? Probably not.

    So, how’re the rest of you reading “Dude, check out that guy’s scar”, because I have no idea what the tone intended there is.

      Probably just noting that it is a pretty bad cut, now that attention’s been drawn towards him.

    Alright. I’ll be the first one to say it.

    I don’t like how people are on the warpath on today’s comic. Reminds me a bit too strongly about the cheering for AG to beat up Sal..
    Though I wonder if Sal sees AG as doing what she wishes she herself could do (stand up to bullies, etc) or as a grim reminder of who she used to be (violent & unstable) and down the same path.

    I would bet the former, as it would make it all the more dramatic once she realizes just who put AG down that path.

      Well for starters, Sal’s just a kid with some deeply complicated personal history going on with Amber, while Ryan is an actual rapist who avoided justice.

      Sal is at best a trigger for Amber. The real cause of Amber’s struggles has always been Blaine.

      If Ryan getting a fraction of what he deserves makes you uncomfortable, you need to serious reflect on why. Because unless you have an intense aversion to violence, it sounds like a problem on your end.

        As far as we know, however, the other two are innocent of anything other than ignorance of Ryan’s crimes.

          Ganging up on AG instead of trying to break up the fight makes them assholes, at the least. If they attack her, they deserve what they get.

          09/10/2016, 7:55 pm

          Even “ganging up on AG” and even if they attack AG, the two of them will not not have done anything worse than what Malaya, Marcie & Carla did when AG went after Sal.

          The main difference is that we, the readers, know that Ryan is a rapist.

        3. Fart Captor

          09/10/2016, 8:08 pm

          Amazi-Girl also knows that Ryan is a rapist. She went made a point of confirming this.

          …and Sal and her friends merely subdued AG and left. They didn’t actually curb stomp her like these dudes seem intent on doing.

          09/10/2016, 9:51 pm

          “Amazi-Girl also knows that Ryan is a rapist. She went made a point of confirming this.”

          And my point remains, that WE know this, as readers, and that THEY, not being readers of the comic, and not having been informed of the fact, don’t. And that you keep judging them based on the knowledge that we, the readers, have, not the knowledge that THEY do.

          “…and Sal and her friends merely subdued AG and left. They didn’t actually curb stomp her like these dudes seem intent on doing.”

          I don’t see where you get the idea that these dudes seem “intent” on causing severe injuries or in fact any injuries on AG, if that’s what you mean by curbstomping.

          I’m sure they’ll turn out to be evil incarnate quite soon, but they’ve not done anything evil yet. Only guilty of the stupidity of supporting an acquaintance/friend without knowing all the facts. I hope that AG actually informs them of Ryan’s actions and gives them a chance to back off.

        5. Fart Captor

          09/10/2016, 10:07 pm

          “If they attack her they deserve what they get. ” The operative word being “if”.

          Ryan is already trying to hit her. Look at panel two. He’s not trying to snatch her phone there, that’s a closed fist. Then two just showed up and announced their intent to join in.

          I don’t care how fucking butthurt their bro is, it doesn’t justify violence. Especially not three-on-one violence, but these two are clearly are totally okay with it. The odds of them not being dickbags are slim.

          So while they haven’t done anything yet, that’s obviously where this is headed. And there are categories of asshole below “rapist”, or even “obviously misogynistic dudebro”, which they could fall into and still be shitty people.

          I think the other two know what Ryan tried to do to Joyce, he did say to them that AG was sent by “That bongo who slashed my face”. They might not be rapists, but they might be accessories to the crime or after the fact.

          And if they help Ryan attack someone, they are guilty of assault.

          AG is in her rights to defend herself.

        Well, I’m conflicted on it. And I think we’re supposed to be. The quick switch and the parallels between AGs stalking of Sal and her attack on Ryan are significant. I don’t think we’re really switching from “Damn, AG is crazy and needs to be stopped” to “Yay AG! Stomp the bad guy!” At least I hope that’s not the story.
        I get it. We know Sal’s cool now and doesn’t deserve AG’s hatred. We know Ryan’s a rapist. We even know the legal system isn’t likely to touch him. But the common connector here is Amazi-Girl and we know that this isn’t good for her and we know her judgment can’t be trusted. She’s right here. She [b]knows[/b] Ryan is the rapist.
        She also [b]knows[/b] Sal is a villain.

          I suppose that isn’t an unreasonable concern.

          There is a key difference between them though. With Sal, it was an exclusively emotional process that informed her actions, Amber ran into Sal, had a panic attack and Amazi-Girl went out stalking.

          Here, there was a clear rational process to it. She saw Ryan, realized who he was, snapped out of her unhealthy fixation on Sal, got confirmation, and apparently came up with a plan. It was different in a lot more than whether the person in for a beating deserves it.
