What even is the joke here? She decided to kill herself at home to reduce the likelihood of someone raping her corpse?
Or is it funny because the guy on the bridge saw her attempt at suicide as a sexual opportunity?
It's almost like an anti-joke, where the humor comes from how offensive it is. It's sad to think there are people who live this sort of experience, being seen as a sex object more than a human being, even in the darkest hours of their life. That's gotta fuck someone up.
I haven't seen Sexy Losers in a long time.
Quick, back to the time machine! Next stop: megatokyo, or sluggy freelance.
I miss MacHall.
I had completely forgotten that existed. Thank you!
Megatokyo. That was a fun one until it turned into a dating sim visual novel because his partner left. Still not as bad as the hard right turn Sinfest made.
Sluggy is still going! It's a bit weird with convoluted lore though.
That's wild! I think it's too late for me, though. It'd be like trying to get into One Piece now. I'll keep it in mind, if I'm feeling nostalgic.
Wow. Til the latest one was posted July the 13th of 2024... Gotta reread them all then!
I've recently re-read all of it, and it made me so nostalgic for internet that wasn't sterile and jokes like this were the norm.
Thin H Line..... A name I haven't thought about in a long time
Sleeping pills? What, like he didn't follow her home?
(Also we're counting deciding to kill themselves in a different way as "prevention?" At best it's procrastination.)
He doesn’t, but you see in later comics he’s working at the funeral home and… well… it takes a couple turns.
Edit: For anyone who wants to read this specific arc.
Warning: it’s seriously fucked up.
You know it's serious when you need a VPN to access it in your country
Now when you say it's fucked up are we talking like explicitly graphic content shown in detail or just explicit content that's alluded to but not shown?
Why’s she dressed like a Japanese schoolgirl?
It's for teenage suicide prevention. Which makes the sex thing worse.
Because the comic is inspired by Japanese 4koma comic structure.
The artstyle is also very reminiscent of old manga/asian comic styles (like 1970s 1980s) so it would make sense the boy and the girl are dressed in that fashion
Iirc there is a manga about this.
