Fortunately for The Ones of the Triangle, there will eventually be a bitter schism and civil war between the FazFacists and the ones who misread their name as “FazFascists”.
Reminds me that scene from Binbougami ga where the protag turned into Kenshiro to disguise herself, then her rival took it as a challenge, a friend assumed it’s some new fashion and soon Kenshiro faces were spreading like crazy.
Look again, it’s clearly curved. There’s a small bit where women aroused remains at zero, then it takes off, accelerates, and then decelerates slightly.
I was pressed into doing this once. I was playing with a university orchestra on a “spring mission trip” to Brazil, which was 6 days of us playing concerts around the country and being tourists, so, awesome, and 1 day of us helping remodel a church, which was fine, until they slapped a bunch of pamphlets in my hand and I found myself walking the streets of Rio de Janeiro, a trio of white, non-Portuguese speaking 20-year-olds trying to convince people they’d been wrong all their lives.
I certainly wasn’t a Christian before that, but that experience 100% drove the nail into the coffin of my religion.
Which was the part that bothered you? The lack of care to your situation/preparation or the fact you were evangelizing?

The feeling of walking around the streets, handing out pamphlets to people as if I had any authority to tell grown-ass adults they were wrong about their religious choices and should convert.
My own experiences, memory of which is thankfully dimmed by years, and my present-day experiences tell me that late-teen and college-age humans ought to have the fewest problems telling “grown-ass” people they’re doing it wrong.
It looks like that graph shows a gradual plateau, actually. For as obviously absurd as it is, that’s still more self-awareness than I would expect of Faz.
Although maybe he’s set it up so the graph is over a lifelong period and that plateau occurs somewhere around age 250.
It may also be a recognition of… Please forgive me for this phrasing…. As arousal is something that fades with time, that plateau may be a theoretical saturation point, where he is arousing further ladies, while others are leaving his radius of effect and therefore becoming unaroused.
Incel: A narcissistic sack of shit who feels he is owed sexual gratification and long-term companionship. Frequently sighted making disparaging remarks regarding women, inventing nonsensical jargon, and demanding government-mandated prostitution.
… at least he’s aware incel ideology’s full of shit? Which means either some serious studying the last few days or even he has standards and awareness. Either way I’m counting this as a plus for Joe. But um, seriously. This was a bad idea.
I had to look up what MGTOW meant… I generally know of them by a different term.
Charlie Spencer
‘s okay, I would have to look up MGTOW, PUA, and Incel if I was at all motivated. I’m assuming from the context of Joe’s line that incel isn’t anything I’d be interested in, but then I feel that way about Reddit in general.
TemperaryObsessor
Quick Google search Incel, Involuntary celebit men who blame women for “unfairly” refusing to date/have sex with them they generally think its because they aren’t handsome enough. Its actually because of there attitude towards women. Instead of working to improve themselves they hate women and men who date women.
MGTOW Men going there own way, men who have sworn off women, seems to range from okish to ranting about how the world favors women.
PUA pickup artist.

I knew what “incel” meant in a general sense, but the actual long form being “involuntarily celibate” makes me want to gouge my eyes out.
I’ve never got the impression that Joe feels women owe him sex and are horrible selfish harpies who should be literally enslaved if they won’t give it to him willingly.
The very fact he’s had lots of sex with women makes him ineligible for incelism. Unfortunately he could be slotted into the Pickup Artist category.
thejeff
Though he could transfer into that category if his reputation prevents him from continuing to score.
I don’t think he will, mind you. I think he’s moving onto a better path.
Also, I was going to say that the joke about the incel subreddit hadn’t aged well, since the sub got shut down, but who am I kidding? Half a dozen replacement subs must have cropped up by now.

That line is always weak, but coming from a guy who had his ‘Do-list’ leaked not that long ago and yeah, I wouldn’t buy it either.

It really takes it from ‘Guy Probably Full Of Shit’ to ‘Guy TOTALLY Full Of Shit.’

Joe doing Faz!Face is simultaneously hilarious and terrifying.
Quit it, Joe, or it’ll stick that way.

If Joe made that graph it wouldn’t be “(Projected.)”

FazFace is spreading. Like a fad.
Soon there will be a bitter war between the FazFacists and the Cult of the Triangle Smile.

…. panel 3, you mean?
AnvilPro
That graph is just a line straight up vertically
Zach
That is terrible! No, The Faz would never do such a thing.
It is a sharp curve and a DOTTED vertical line. Boy knows graphs.
Tacos
I could make a dirty joke here about up-ness but I won’t.
Kamino Neko
Time is usually the horizontal axis, so a straight horizontal line – straight vertical would mean he aroused every woman on earth at once….
Pablo360
So what you’re saying is it’s a straight line up vertically.
LookingIn
so he’s admitting the truth: no woman will be aroused by him?
Sunny
Look again, it’s clearly curved. There’s a small bit where women aroused remains at zero, then it takes off, accelerates, and then decelerates slightly.
Passchendaele
…is Faz dropping these graphs on purpose, hoping someone will pick them up?
Doctor_Who
He’s like one of those religious groups that goes around distributing their literature, except Faz’s religion is his sex drive.

What is at second base. (Who?) Who’s on first.
And Where must be the right fielder, as that’s the only position not specified in the famous routine

Kryss LaBryn
I have spent enough time reading fanfics that although I know what it really means, every time I see it I mistake it for an incest label.
Needfuldoer
This is what happens when an echo chamber’s feedback loop grows loud enough.

A common on ramp to the alt-right.

Wait, Faz wrote “I” and not “Faz”? Is that progress?
Pablo360
No, it’s whatever the opposite of progress is. Oh, that’s right. Senate.

“Faz is the Senate.”

tim gueguen
I just had a scary thought. Faz is probably a prime candidate to end up being either an incel or a MGTOW when his attempts at being a PUA fail.
Regalli
Disturbingly likely, yeah. (Thank Willis for our timescale meaning we won’t have to see that. *shudders*)

Joe engaged in misogyny, but even he didn’t go incel levels of misogyny.
Emily
I’ve never got the impression that Joe feels women owe him sex and are horrible selfish harpies who should be literally enslaved if they won’t give it to him willingly.
DrunkenNordmann
Yeah, while Joe is somewhat sleazy, he’s nowhere near the level of myopic misogyny that incels are on.

The very fact he’s had lots of sex with women makes him ineligible for incelism. Unfortunately he could be slotted into the Pickup Artist category.

Until they cross the wrong people and end up in cells.

They have, and they’re all hilariously pathetic.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody.

Well Faz has yet to say anything about woman all being sluts who deserve to be raped, so he’s still doing better than incel subreddits
ZerglingOne
Or mention of Chad or Stacy.
Keulen
Where was Faz even carrying that graph anyway? Does he have some sort of hammerspace where he keeps graphs?
Deanatay
Yes. It is called Fazspace.
The opening to it is in his pants.
Reltzik
Panel 3 Joe: You assume much if you think Amber will be disappointed by Faz’s disappearance.
Regalli
It’s not him being gone that’s the problem so much as him roaming freely.
Reltzik
That’s not “disappeared”. That’s “unleashed”.
Regalli
… You know actually do they make kid leashes that big? Because while I’d normally find such things horrifying, Faz would benefit from one.
