Don't lump Archie in with that poo poo. Archie has actually gotten way better in the last few years.

Having worked in Elder care you can only do this if you're already wearing a diaper and the pad is for insurance. Dude should have sucked it up and bought some depends. The "male-only" brand is surprisingly good quality and colored all slate-grey per unofficial hygiene product rules of the last 5 years.

"Ugh, loving woman just want muscle dudes with big dicks"

It must be some sort of mental hell to think that way and be ill-equipped in both regards.

It's like they've welded iron boots on their feet and are now complaining about how hard it is to jump.

I never felt the original comic was tasteless, really. Every mission like that in an MMO is "Help get everyone out of Terrible Situation", but because it's a game it's "Help five people out of Terrible Situation, then run off to let the rest experience Terrible Situation for all eternity".

Like, I kinda get being upset over it, but not to the degree folks did.

No one really minds the frame of the joke. Using rape is a bit tasteless, but whatever it's perfectly within PA's wheelhouse so it was a bit surprising to see so much pushback. The problem was always in Gabe's inability to just say "I'm sorry you feel that way" and leave it alone. Dude's a classic example of someone whose one noteworthy technical skill allowed them to progress way further than someone of their mental and emotional development ever should have progressed.

I'm a bit surprised to see someone take this perspective. If there's nothing really wrong with the comic in the first place, why is a non-apology like that something that he's (morally?) obligated to give?

I mean, maybe that would be the cynically pragmatic response, but it hardly seems like it's desirable on principle.

You misread. The frame of the joke about MMO NPCs is perfectly benign. The rape aspect is tasteless but nothing too unusual for PA. That's not saying there's nothing really wrong with the comic. As for your weird semiotics about whether an apology was due or not I reeaaaaalllly don't give a gently caress.

It's really churlish of me to poo poo on what's essentially one of the Garfields of webcomics after 17 years, but I feel like I've read this exact basic joke by them at least 5 times.

Vg cats is a good and funny webcomic. Deal with it.

Lol what? No.

PA isn't what it used to be, and its clear they've moved on from a lot of the "in the game" humor as they don't play as much anymore. Its clear its a business at this point.

Agreed.

Its still funnier than many other webcomics out there

True but this isn't a compliment to PA, it's a comment on how bad many other webcomics are.

It's great but it has that pseudo - genius quality where you really have to groove on the author's wavelength and if you can't it mutates before your eyes into garbage nonsense for weird people with too much time. I got the same way about Alan Moore.

i was personally more of a fan of the day 1 realization that this game isn't actually multi-player at all and was sold on lies and now the devs are trying to cover their asses.

A Kickstarter game sold on unrealistic promises and flat-out lies? Surely you speak voodoo.
