Strong Female Protagonist

A profoundly wise man, especially one who features in ancient history or legend, goes into every field.

What kind of sage could you mean? There are so many of them!

The kind that will lead us to a magical land of 404.

And what is your question exactly? Why do you bother us with this?

This not even close to Veeky Forums related.

Either way, this comic has been shit since day 1. Literally. Go back and read the first few pages. It's set at...you guessed it... an Occupy Wallstreet protest! Yes, the thing that was going to change the world, but only ended up being a Woodstock-y hobby for upper middle class crybabies.

If you want to make this Veeky Forums-related, you're going to have to argue how this related to games. personally, I see the main character as a compelling villain in a supers game. There's that screencap about the guy who plays a Goon-esque blue collar wroker/thief with no superpowers that exposes the hypocrisy of a bunch of Mary Sue heroes. No idea if it actually ever happened, but it's a good lesson in superhero morality. This fits right into that. This character is constantly skirting the edges of supervillainy, justifying her lack of a moral code by "teaching others lessons". I believe, for instance, she let a superpowered murderer walk because said murderer killed rapists. Or "rapists".

That's the problem with the comic. It buys into its own bullshit, so you never know what's intentionally in a grey area, and with what the author 100% agrees. It's almost brilliant in how totalitarian the main character is, while still convincing herself that she's the good guy. But I fear it might just be entirely SJW propaganda that has gone full Asay, meaning that to outsiders, it actually looks like a well-reasoned standpoint because the author assumes their own extremism is also present in the readers.

>There's that screencap about the guy who plays a Goon-esque blue collar wroker/thief with no superpowers that exposes the hypocrisy of a bunch of Mary Sue heroes.
Anyone who got this lying around care to post?

Alright let me give you the cliff notes.

She's a superman expy in a world where a bunch of kids got superpowers all at once. The government found out and started rounding them up to figure out WTF, and then a wild supervillan named Menace appeared and started fucking shit up. Girl there became a superhero.

Then, years later after Menace got wrecked, she tried to live a normal life, but she publicly unmasked during a news interview so everyone knows who the fuck she is.

She gets special treatment, unintentionally gets professors fired for failing her classes, and tries to cut through what she sees as bullshit through unstoppable force.

At one point, another professor said that her morality is basically only enforcable via dictatorship.

Then she met this guy, who is a stereotypical privileged cis white male libertarian. They go on a date, he takes her home in a helicopter, they are having dinner in the garden and he starts bragging about his illegal immigrant groundskeepers. She throws a drink at him and flies away.

Then she finds out he has superpowers. Turns out they are what he considers to be the shittiest powers ever: he can boost other supers, but not give himself anything.

He has a three comic waaaaaah about this right befor this happens, she asks him to use them to better the world, he tells her to fuck off.

The last comic before this ends with her saying 'Well I tried'.

Then this happened.

...

>They go on a date, he takes her home in a helicopter, they are having dinner in the garden and he starts bragging about his illegal immigrant groundskeepers. She throws a drink at him and flies away.
Noide.

I love those shitty memes.

So she's just creating her own BBEG, who will fund a superpowered army, boost it up, and take her down like something boys take down?

Sounds par for the course, for an idiot that got her superpowers yesterday and hasn't yet understood that other people have them too.

Fair cop.

I think the setting is interesting. In world, there is apparently a conspiracy of non-supers who are actively murding people who have powers which could change the status quo. It's effectively an enforced 'Reed Richards is useless' trope, by killing for example the fusion energy tinker, or the biokinetics, or anybody who could make a similar wide-scale change to how the world functions

There is a psychic trying to hunt them down, and still they seem to be eluding him. It's implied that it's MUH CORPRATE OVERLURDS doing it.

Now as bullshit as this seems, how could a setting like that work? Most superhero universes just kind of handwave the practical use of powers (aside from Worm where there is also targetted destruction, its just done by Kaiju).

Could a non-super conspiracy really do dick against these kinds of supers?

>The last comic before this ends with her saying 'Well I tried'.
>Then this happened.
This is so state. In the UK, the government proposes voluntary regulators and suggested quotas, with the threat to enforce them if they're not met. "Do what we want so we don't have to force you."

So let me get this straight: deskface dude is a bit of a dick, but he could EASILY use his Power for actual evil too, but he chooses to remain neutral.
Then the main character, who is already a super and has no apparent need to be even stronger is basically threatening to kill him if he doesnt make her stronger.

Holy shit, this comic sounds great. I love villain protagonists

Not him, but that sounds like the shitty writing I'm used to from this comic. As I said, it's gone full Asay.

In case you don't know, Chuck Asay is an überconservative political cartoonist who has the habit of making oddly well-reasoned points because he assumes his own worldview is universal. This is buoyed up by the fact that he's also actually a good, expressive artist. He's also so far off the spectrum that he holds views that are normally seen as traditionally left wing. Pic related. I have no idea what Asay is trying to say, here.

tbf to him, we're basically tg and fantasy lore at this point. to be not fair to him, he should have fucked off to /co/ a while ago yes.

>deskface dude is a bit of a dick
Not being your slave != being a dick.

>I love villain protagonists
Reminder that SJWs wrote the character to represent themselves.

Oh, I'm running both threads concurrently at this point. This faggot posted the exact same thing in the /co/ thread because I guess he just doesn't want me to talk at all, so really it's mostly spite.

is it possible to boost powers to the point of them becoming useless? say if someone has superstrength, could he boost them far beyond the point where they could even exert a single muscle without either destroying their own arm or wrecking everything in his vicinity unintentionally?

And hey, Strong Female Protagonist and Worm are both shit too.

We have no idea how his power works yet. Fascist Girl got a delivery of a file folder from a super sekrit contact and read it offscreen. What was mentioned is what we've gotten so far, aside from the aforementioned three page pity party by the guy.

Reed Richards is Useless is a boring trope at this point though, and at least those two try to explain it. I'm getting tired of settings giving up on that.

Our world turned on its fucking ass from something as simply as smartphones, some of the shit in comics would make things crazy.

>the page with the meeting of women whose powers deformed them where a shapeshifter is whining about how she/he had a hard time and gets called out by an overly large and spikey lady about not having any actual problems and the whole group can't continue because there's a robot getting legitimately triggered by the word "body"
What is this comic even trying to say?

Bragging about your servants is not what any non-dick person would do in this century at least.
We both know this dude must have at least some bad points, since it needs to be justified for the sjw fans to dislike him to some extent.
But im sure he doesnt deserve very real death threats for remaining neutral, and thats the point.

well, i guess then, link to the other thread? super sjw's sounds kind of interesting as a nightmare fantasy

Isn't the point of this comic that the main character fucks up constantly?

She has no actual idea what to do, only the drive to do good, and this leads to all kinds of shit she didn't think through.

>Bragging about your servants is not what any non-dick person would do in this century at least.
How did you figure that?

I prefer aromatic herbs myself.

>Could a non-super conspiracy really do dick against these kinds of supers?

Fucking easily, I should say. They could put it to the vote. Hell, politics would be filled with people arguing what to do about "those people".

I mean, how many air traffic lanes does Miss Bitch cross during her casual flights? How many radars does she show up on? Granted, if she stays low, she can avoid shit like that, but it's just an example.

I'm reminded of a DefCon talk. One guy showed how he could hack air traffic control data, and insert data that he created in a flight sim. So air traffic control would see flight "UR MOM" flying over the ocean.

People have legislation about the shape of fruit, for fuck's sake. Legally, you can bet your ass there would very quickly be loads of rules about these people, and a plan for handling them. Groups of citizenry would spring up to debate it. And all that crap is a GREAT reason to be very careful with who knows who you are, and where you live. Only I suspect real life superheroes wouldn't wear brightly coloured outfits, but near-identical tactical gear with some nice trauma plates in case that kryptonite bullet catches you unawares. After all, it's not like it'll weigh you down if you have superstrength.

The comic is literally called Strong Female Protagonist and the about page has this to say:
>SFP follows the adventures of a young middle-class American with super-strength, invincibility, and a crippling sense of social injustice.

Sounds to me like it's taking the extremes of what /pol/ thinks SJWs are and running with it for giggles.

>>>co

Or whatever, I'm shit at crossboard links.

It's really easy.

Like I said, full Asay.

Which sucks, because superhero girls (or boys, for that matter) dealing with legit body horror issues as a result of their mutation sounds fucking AWESOME. Especially if one starts dating a Veeky Forums neckbeard, because he's legit so openminded that he doesn't give a fuck if you're an alien or robot. I'd have a goog giggle at that.

But no, back to the ennui of the girl who can do literally anything.

>superhero girls (or boys, for that matter) dealing with legit body horror issues as a result of their mutation sounds fucking AWESOME.
How to justify a superpower causing a genderswap...

>I mean, how many air traffic lanes does Miss Bitch cross during her casual flights? How many radars does she show up on?

Uh... A lot and none respectively?

Radar isn't magic. It's not going to pick up a man-sized object moving really really fast. And she's only really flown in the wilderness and to a city so far.

>People have legislation about the shape of fruit, for fuck's sake. Legally, you can bet your ass there would very quickly be loads of rules about these people, and a plan for handling them.

She has no kryptonite. She has been physically harmed exactly once in her entire time superheroing, and it was by a guy who hand supercancer that gives him monomolecular claws. He's also in Bell Reeve at this point.

She's effectively immune to government action. She killed a guy (justified, he was flamethrowering a group of doctors) and threatened to kill a hundred others on national television a while ago and nothing happened.

There was a comic where she's talking to the guy with the supercancer in prison and she talks about how if a villain did what she did, they'd bring in the national guard. But because she was a hero she gets a free pass.

ah yeah, solomon. i ended up naming my rogue solomon because of that sweet sweet martyrdom.

Because the post i quoted literally said that?

I think Heroes did it right.
The company fucks up with those who can change, those who are harder to kill go on vendettas against the company. The survivors of this mini war escape and eventually conglomerate around a strong madman that gain bravado with each new member until he feels it's right to sinkhole a county because "them vs us".

If the supers have powers that can effectively change the world, the anti-supers conspirators will eventually run into a Magneto, Black Adam or Phoenix and get demolished, most probably exposed and the the world governments have to play the "leave supers alone and they may protect us from other supers instead of hang on together and destroy us all" card because even the kikest of kikes values his survival over his sheckels.

>man sized object
DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY GENDER?!?!?!

The entire crux of the story is that Allison is absolutely fucking retarded. I think the comic gets a lot of unnecessary flak because everyone assumes you're supposed to agree with/like her. That is in no way true; everyone calls her out on her hypocracy and bullshit. Hell, IIRC after getting mad at the boosting guy, she tries to hit up a homeless mutie shelter for free labor for her social project; when the guy running the shelter says "no fuck off we're not your labor force," she runs off. At no point are we supposed to think "Poor girl, that mean batfaced fugly mutant should have helped her for free."

Sage because this entire thread is offtopic, but In an attempt to make it Veeky Forums related: Have you ever done something similar with your own character that the writer is doing with Allison? Have you ever played a character that you went out of your way to make unsympathetic and disagreeable?

Bonus points if your character wasn't a CN/CE fucktard and instead tried to do better -- they just went about it the entirely wrong way and were fuckups in general.

?

This is the real sticking point. Right now the guy who is trying to hunt them down has apparently been doing so for years, and he's a mind reader who can read the entire experiential memory of people and integrate that information.

And he still hasn't found any of them.

Like, even if they knew he existed, there is legitmately no way to prevent that guy from following a trail of operatives.

Superman deconstructions are the worst thing ever

Can't they just blow him up or snipe him?

>Sage because this entire thread is offtopic, but In an attempt to make it Veeky Forums related: Have you ever done something similar with your own character that the writer is doing with Allison?

Wasn't there a story from Veeky Forums about that super special feminist who managed to bard convince a queen to kill all men in her kingdom, and then she was beaten to death by the female barbarian?

>It's full fascism time.

SJW:s, political correctness, cultural marxism, enforced equality and safe spaces are literally the opposite of fascism.

Seriously, for fucks sake.

He was Menace the supervillain, who the world assumes was killed by that girl. He told her about the consiracy, and she heped him fake his death.

As far as the plot is concerned, she's the only one who know he's still alive. And few if anyone knew exactly how his powers worked before, nor who he was. He was never unmasked.

yes but that was in a game of dungeons and dragons, which is a traditional game. as opposed to a comic, which is not a game.

>How to justify a superpower causing a genderswap...

Well, that's not really what I meant, but it could be as easy as shit. It's superheroes. I don't gotta explain shit. The other day I saw some fetish comic that hinged on the protagonist being a regular male nerd who has the superpower to turn into a superpowered bimbo who says "like" a lot.

You've had characters who are cats, or who turn into someone else entirely when they "hero", or who are giant, flying heads. Or giant, flying eggs that are also racist charicatures. There's even been a goddamn Kite Man.

Compared to all that "superhero stuff made me swap gender" is fairly tame, I'd say. I'd love to see a Strong Female Protagonist response to the "dyke" that's just literally a man in a woman's body and fine with it.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

I was referring to the prompt on the characters.

for you

what's the context? what does she want him to do?

That would only fit the criteria if the player wasn't a SJW radfem; IIRC, the player totally was and her character shared her philosophy/outlook 1:1.

I'm kinda glad it sucks so I don't have to compete when I start drawing my webcomic about a 90 pound fantasy female Sigurd (Sigirid?) who fights monsters and other superhumans because of a crippling sense of personal responsability.

>radar

Yes, radar could very pick up a man-sized object moving really, really fast. Radar also extends over the "wilderness" and city. The size of an object radar could theoretically pick up is determined by the radar's wavelength. And no person is that small. Except Antman.

You're missing the point, though, that even regular use of her powers would mean her breaking the law by default. In fact, you seem to be missing the point entirely. I'm not talking about specifically this comic, or this character. I'm talking about superpowered people in general, as we know them.

So yes, if the political will was there, people could act against someone like her. But it isn't there in the comic, which should be a central point, but seems only of tangetical importance, which makes it shitty writing.

>But because she was a hero she gets a free pass.

One rule for us, another rule for them. The worst thing is that they think that this is a moral good, and that it's somehow justified and not at all completely fucking arbitrary.

Yes.

Her "great" plan involved her goddess blessing some women to become futas for the reasons of procreation and that no boys would ever be born again. This after using the kingdoms entire alchemical stockpile to create an airborne man killing gas to cover the world.

One character did ceremonial combat to the death with her and would have lost were it not for the Barbarian Lady stepping in at last minute and delivering a fatal punch to hyper feminist whilst yelling SOME OF US LIKE MEN ATTACHED TO DICKS YOU SELFISH CUNT!

The hyper-feminist player threw a hissy fit.

>What is this comic even trying to say?

"I am become cringe, the destroyer of sense."

Wait, female Sigurd as in a genderbent Sigurd the Dragonslayer?

Horseshoes.
It's not about ideologies, it's about means and systems to enforce them.

Magical Girls. Shit, boys becoming magical girls and dealing with the associated problems is practically a fucking subgenre of magical girl anime.
