YF-23 posted:It probably falls under the same kind of jocks/sluts vs nerds/pure maidens dichotomy that he carries with him. Cosmetic surgery is vanity, it's about external appearances and not the ~beauty that's inside~, and therefore in the former, bad camp. Mookie is the exact audience of Cline's Nerd Porn Auteur rant. Anyway I skimmed a bit through the rest of the arc to see if it was as bad as I remembered. It's really vile.

You know, having a curse that just makes one species look like a different species is also extremely weird. Do they have the opposite version, where sometimes Orcs just look human? Or whatever other races are in this, i've never seen anything but orcs, humans, mongrels, and orclings. Just seems like its only really a curse if you're racist

Just seems like its only really a curse if you're racist It is specifically a curse visited upon Callanians for their crimes in the orc war. Something about seing their sins I think? It really doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about it for more than a second.

It doesn't even really make you look like a orc, we've seen orcs are a light green color, it's just tusks. Which makes me wonder if Mookie originally intended for Luna to have green skin too (since everyone assumed she was an orc) but then chickened out when he started doing color comics because he felt she wouldn't be attractive enough if she was green, which would actually be pretty funny.

There are quite a lot of non-human species in this setting but all of them are basically just humans with a hat on. (As are non-Callanian human cultures, like the Semashi. Everyone gets a hat.) The orc hat is being "vegetarian" and heavily coded Native American.

Mx. posted:because alterists are ickyyyy And alterists are ickyyyy because Mookie hates breast implants and nose jobs because that's all he thought cosmetic surgery was. The idea of restorative cosmetic surgery never once entered his mind until fans emailed him explaining that they got implants because of hysterectomies, or to fix injuries or even, yes, birth deformities and not just because they want to be hot sluts.

wanting to be a hot slut is also a fine, pure motive but i don't expect mookie "used to judge burlesque until he got kicked out for reasons he won't get into" terracciano to necessarily understand this

Oh for sure, there's no wrong reason to get work done if that's what you want. It's just funny that Mookie is so simultaneously horny and sex-negative that he cannot think of non-sex reasons to get surgery and thats why it's bad.

It's extremely funny that goggles that let you see magic spells and what are ostensibly teleportation pellets are illegal even though magic that does the same things are not. This setting is a genuine hellscape, and the complete lack of thought put into why these things would be illegal is astounding. Like literally the only reason for something like that is "magical tyranny."

Callan does allow duelling swords that leave wounds that healing magic can't cure though. It's extremely hard to reverse engineer an explanation that makes the hodge-podge of laws make any sense.

The flight is STILL going on? The last page was a natural stopping point to land and continue the plot. So rather than take a day or even a week off because of a con - a totally normal thing to do - Mookie permanently compromises his comic with low effort filler. Actually, joke's on us, he'd probably do that even without the con.
