Why do people act like Pick Up Artists are some kind of unfair cheat code that's unfair to the women? That poo poo works on like 1 out of 500 women and ANY shtick might work on those odds.

Besides anymore people just jump on an app for that pretty much. Sure they're creeps but the way society thinks they're good at much besides getting a drink in their face is kind of hilarious. They're worse at manipulation to get laid than the average guy to be honest.

You arrogant fanboys are so jealous of xkcd's success, it's almost sad. You hate that xkcd is popular while your worthless efforts in writing and art have failed, so now you're all reduced to hating on Munroe's every move. Why is that exactly? Did Munroe ignore you at a convention or something?

Oh, and I love how you present your OPINION on ART as if it were FACT. Art is inherently subjective, you'd know that if you had an education. Remember, xkcd is widely regarded as being the greatest webcomic of all time, and a few unconstructively critical blogposts on some worthless corner of the Internet isn't going to change that.

Furthermore, how dare you even criticize something you obviously have no understanding of? Do you really expect us to take your slanted viewpoint seriously? What credentials do you offer, exactly? Where are YOUR webcomics, huh? Yeah, that's what I thought. You're just another uncreative loser trying to get the attention of a true luminary, probably in hopes of validation. How sad your lives must be.

Finally, nobody is forcing you to read xkcd, so why do you bother criticizing it? You people really need to lighten up and quit being so angry all the time. Perhaps if you took a few courses in computer science, mathematics or physics, you might live long enough to enjoy xkcd.

So what's this Megan chick look like that he's been pining after her for years via stick figures and non-jokes?

"Tiny Trains"

When a friend told me xkcd was his favourite comic I told him I wasn't a big fan because the comic was uninteresting to look at and the author came off as creepy and MRA-ish. He got really defensive and said that the character in the comic isn't a self-insert and when an xkcd character is being creepy or bitter towards women it's just the character in the comic not the author, the author is good and normal and is married or something so he couldn't possibly be bitter and regretful about "Megan", a character he invented. I guess he had heard that before because he had this whole practiced speech about how the xkcd author isn't an autistic Nice Guy nerd and anyone who doesn't get that those comics were supposed to be making fun of mra's and making fun of bitter women hating nerds needs to learn to read better.

Also you probably just don't get all the really good math and programming jokes.
