      Right? Also I remember it somehow different and I also must partially confuse it with another lewd comic from the time.

      Anyone remember a comic very similar to sexy losers? I remember one story arc with a scantily clad girl that always masturbated and tried to convince people of stupid sex ideas, e.g. pitching to bounty kitchen paper execs to make soft super absorbant paper targeting chronic masturbators, I think the tagline was “gay for bounty” and her pitch was “that’s how we get those fuckers at kleenex” and the execs went “how do you keep getting past security?”

      E: found it! Ghastlys ghastly webcomic EE: The comic in question

      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.

    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.)

      It’s for teenage suicide prevention. Which makes the sex thing worse.

        If it makes you feel better, he’s also in a Japanese school uniform, so he’s probably around the same age.

          In Japan the age of Consent differs depending on the situation, but 12-14 isn’t unusual.

          In Persona 5 this is even a plotpoint early on, as your first real story arc is about a guy sexually abusing female students and beating male students. He gets away with it because he’s a coach and his physical abuse of male students gets results, and what he does with female students is believed to be both completely normal and consensual. “She’s 13, she’s old enough, and he’s a famous former athlete so the attraction is there.”

          The idea that the massive age difference could be part of the problem is not brought up a single time nor the fact that the girls are just starting high school. The only part of the game’s narrative that sees it as wrong is the fact that they were co-erced into it.

          Later on, you can date your homeroom teacher as one of your romantic paths if you so wish. Joker, the player character, is 16. This relationship would actually be legal in the UK, and depending on which state you’re in the United States as well (Likely not a Romeo and Juliet state as those require the age gap to be small, whereas there are non-R+J states that say “You’re 16/17 you can do who you want.”, hey don’t shoot the messenger okay),

          However while legal in the UK and (parts of) US it would still be heavily socially frowned upon, but I guess in Japan they don’t care? I don’t know I’m not a Japanese Culture nerd nor am I Japanese.

        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

          This comic (called Sexy Losers), is where the word “fap” came from, BTW. It was an extremely popular web comic back in the early 2000s, so the word spread like wildfire and eventually became bigger than the comic itself.

    "To understand revolutionary suicide it is first necessary to have an idea of reactionary suicide, for the two are very different. Reactionary suicide: the reaction of a man who takes his own life in response to social conditions that overwhelm him and condemn him to helplessness.”

    “I do not think that life will change for the better without an assault on the Establishment, which goes on exploiting the wretched of the earth. This belief lies at the heart of the concept of revolutionary suicide. Thus it is better to oppose the forces that would drive me to self-murder than to endure them. Although I risk the likelihood of death, there is at least the possibility, if not the probability, of changing intolerable conditions.”

    “But before we die, how shall we live? I say with hope and dignity; and if premature death is the result, that death has a meaning reactionary suicide can never have. It is the price of self-respect.”

    – Dr. Huey P. Newton

      Huey P. Newton (Revolutionary Suicide, 1973)

      A Black Panther Founder, killed a police officer in 1967 but overturned after two hung juries.

      Accused of murdering Kathleen Smith and Betty Van Patter in 1974, Patter being the Black Panther’s bookkeeper found brutally beaten to death, still no conviction. Black Panther leadership admitted to firing her, and she apparently made statements before her death accusing them of tax evasion.

      After that seemingly distanced himself from the movement and went into academia.

      Died in 1989 murdered by African American Prison Gang “Black Guerrilla Family” which if nothing else is pretty ironic. I’d wager that he regretted ever publishing this excuse for violent extremism by the time he died.

      Ya’ll can just skip the shit that got him and others killed and go straight into academia if you want to have a positive impact on the world.

        That’s great advice!

        Though my inner academic wants to try to measure the additional positive impact of killing a (almost certainly?) racist cop…

          I know nothing about that particular cop, but calling everyone the Black Panthers oppose as racists is like calling everyone Israel oppose as antisemites.

          It was a paramilitary group who used coercion and threats of violence to make political statements. The word for that is terrorism. They supposedly wanted to pick up the torch of MalcomX as Black Separatists who saw Integration as a failure.

          Some of the party leadership were nonviolent and wanted to participate in local governments and social outreach, while others wanted constant conflict with the establishment, leading the party to split apart. If you constantly search for conflict and violence, you will find it.

    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.

      It’s called black humor. It’s funny because it’s dark, shared suffering. Hospice nurses and grade school teachers, for instance, tend to have great black humor.

      Either you’re looking for something to be offended about or you’re lucky and haven’t suffered much in your life.

        I love black humor, but this is weak. A good black joke uses dark subjects to amplify effective humor, it’s not just funny because it’s crude. This is more akin to shock humor. The place it really falls short is the punchline imo.

        Frankly I think the amount I’ve suffered probably detracts from it if anything; I’ve been there for two different friends after they lost a sister to suicide, both had been aggressively sexualized during their depression.

        Or the third option, it’s not that funny.

        When it comes to black humour, people tend to have lower standards. I guess for them the shock factor is enough to carry the joke. But once you’ve seen enough black humour, the shock factor starts to wear thin. The shock factor should complement the joke, not be the subject of it.

          Nah, this is pretty funny, especially gobbling the sleeping pills.

          Now, dead baby jokes rely mostly on the shock factor. I’m still immature enough to think they’re funny as well.
