Really OP, I can't understand that a repped RVF member can read a comic like that and not see through the typical "Man = bad, woman/girl = victim" and "let's use rape/sexual abuse to further the feminist cause" bullshit agenda. Of course there are actual cases of fathers sexually abusing their children, but this is a fictitious storyline made up to cast doubt on families and fathers.

You guys are so jaded that you see anti male on everything. I didn't see any anti father, anti male, anti family in this comic, if anything I see it as a testament for how real healthy families and strong father figures are so important, but then again I'm an optimist.

Look at that clean cut white guy who takes his heterosexual family to the park on Sundays after church, he must secretly be molesting his children. Look at the pearl wearing housewife who dotes after her kids, she must be secretly hiding an Xanax addiction and so on.

It's all just a means of subliminal revenge against people that are seen as having things that the person angrily gnashing their teeth can't have. I'd say there's a big touch of teen angst rebellion that the person never quite outgrew - you rebel against something "safe" that's not really going to result in any negative consequences besides getting grounded or a finger wagging some old-fogey authority figure that no one thinks is cool anyways. If they actually wanted to rebel they would instead go against something that would bring down way more social and perhaps even financial consequences.

It's really telling that i've never seen this type of contempt for the nuclear family in asia before. Even in the developed parts of asia i've never seen this outright hatred towards the natural union between men and women and the family environment. It's true that some people in asia get married later or eschew marriage altogether but they also don't go around spreading virulent hate or propaganda against most people who choose to have families.

Most 30's single women I have met in asia are actively looking for husbands and desire families. This is quite unlike the legions of emotionally broken carousel riders you see in the west.

There are facets of modern western culture that is just straight up backwards now. There's no way two ways about it.

Please read some of the child sexual abuse hysteria cases - they all follow the same storyline this comic puts out there.

I'm not going to get into the politics or whatever.

Sylistically, the comic strip is god awful. The visuals are muddled, hyperbolic, and irritating. There is hardly any substance. Oftentimes I had to read a few boxes several times because I had no idea what was actually going on - and it was usually nothing worth reading. The pacing is terrible. The dialogue is faux-witty gibberish. "Behold, my family true at this morn's repast"? What the fuck.

I can tell from miles and miles away that the guy who wrote this thinks he's just the smartest motherfucker in the whole world. He probably flunked out of community college because classes "weren't challenging enough", "they taught to the book", "it was not for a creative". Yes, he probably uses the term "creative" to describe himself, without irony. This comic is about as creative as the shit I took this morning. 0/10, WNRRR (would not read, recommend, or reread).

Good conversation guys. I posted this as I said, after a reading a long thread on depressing comics, so I guess I was in a different mood than normal. I'm also sick of clicking on the latest stupid clickbait story circulating on the newspaper, social media, also being discussed to death here so thought I'd post something different.

My parents did do foster care and we took in kids (mostly girls) from shitty homes. Most were just kids of a mean drunk who beat them enough to get noticed by the system. A few were actually molested, and few more were raped by their step dad, dad or brother. You know those presentations at school where they present on sexual abuse for kids... My family got some of the girls who came up up to the teacher or presenter afterwards and said something.

For me, having been told, in some emotionally intense conversations (many years ago now) that they were raped (and I believed them at the time, and rethinking with my RP knowledge now, I still believe them)... This comic just made it more real with me and brought back memories (it's been 15 years). Often times the mother and other siblings accused them of lying, and it was evident from the girl's descriptions of their families that there was really messed up family dynamics.
