        I see it like that too. Panel’s 4 and 5 are not eye narrowing.
        I think the incel/MRA recruiting goes after guys’ insecurities, and then offers them community. It’s a kind of negging. Incel’s hitting Walky’s insecurities, but not in the way he intends. I think Walky doesn’t want a woman to need him.

        I think this creep is too far gone for that. Actual kidnapping along with gaybashing puts him beyond where dating advice can save him.

        It is the best approach for proto-incels though.

          Although the uncertainty is latent, we cannot rush, yes, I know that it is risky to have a positive attitude and say “they just need to talk about it”, because something that I have noticed with Walky and Dorothy is that they have always talked about what they It afflicts them, believe me, I don’t want another breakup of this ship.

                  Jennifer and Walky, at a bare minimum, are close enough that when they bicker it satisfies her need for intimate conflict. So that Jennifer and Dorothy can date and fuck. They’d do a threesome, but Jennifer’s opposed because she has to be in a different headspace for each of them.

        It’s also for that reason that I really hope he gets comeuppance swiftly.

        I’d rather not he gets a ‘win’ for being a straight cis white guy because it’s close to reality, if this is a superhero power fantasy, let him be an irrelevant loser.

      You have to understand where he’s coming from. If you assume women aren’t real people but exist just as stuff for men to consume, you know, like Boko Haram or the US Republican party’s philosophies state, then the problem where no women wants to touch his penis is not a problem with him being a pathetic asshole who believes horrible things but rather everyone else believing wrong things.

        Walky was happy with his life, and saw also having the best girlfriend as a cool bonus.
        I’m guessing this guy has bigger problems which he thinks having a girlfriend will magically fix.
        He also likely sees it as a need not a want which fuels a sense of entitlement.
        Neither, whatever he’s hoping a girlfriend will fix nor feeling entitled to have a girlfriend are attractive.

    …he assaulted Dina. Why is everyone just standing around and doing nothing while he monologues?

    I think the scene just escalated too much too fast. If he was only a pest, then I could buy people keeping things non-violent and talky, but… well, no, he brought violence to the party, its entirely valid to visit violence back unto him now.

      It’s important to note Dina is not hurt. He knocked cereal out of her hand which is an escalation, but she’s fine. They’re not beating up Incelerator because that is absolutely what he wants. Attention. If he actually gets hurt right now that equals assault charges for anyone who touches him, and it validates his rhetoric either way.

        Oh, come off it with the “you’re only giving him attention” nonsense. He’s getting the same amount of attention now, if not more, but instead of using it to demand to be let go because Joe knocked him off his skates and is holding him down, he’s using it to spread his bullshit toxic crap.

        And it wouldn’t be assault charges for self-defense or defense of others. Again, he attacked first, there’s no expectation that you should know how far someone else is willing to take violence when they’ve already unleashed it entirely unprovoked.

        “He attacked my friend because she said she had a girlfriend, so I stopped him from attacking anyone else” is entirely valid.

          I’d love to see Incelerator get beat up or whatever, but I’m just saying he’s definitely not the guy that would let any violence against him slide. Even touching him aggressively would likely have him crying assault. This comic gets wacky sometimes so maybe they’d get away with it, but at best in getting aggressive, they all just walk away not in trouble and Incelerator wins.

          As shitty as he is, knocking something out of Dina’s hand is not attacking her. It’s aggro, but not to the point of earning a self-defense (or defense of others) exception. Unfortunately, you have to let him cook or risk it for the biscuit. No other options.

          Still, fingers crossed he gets himself pretzeled.

          There was a brief moment as he flipped the tray where Dina or one of the others throwing a punch or tackling him could’ve been justified. But when he immediately went back into rant mode after flipping the tray, they lost the legal high ground. If he makes another move towards physical violence, then maybe someone can take him down. But right now, yeah, he’d be able to call for daddy’s lawyers to sue everyone involved.

            I’d say the actual chances of him calling in the lawyers are low, though none of the cast know that.
            To get lawyers involved, he’d have to unmask and that greatly increases the chances of one of them recognizing him as a kidnapper.

      One of my favorite lines from any book ever is from Robert Heinlein’s Citizen of the Galaxy: “Incitement to riot is no excuse for a riot!” Even if you get punched in the face, it does NOT necessarily give you an excuse to punch back. Sometimes your opponent gives you no choice, but violence should always be your last resort, not your first. Punching this asshole right now would only mean two people to go into custody instead of one.

        If you’re attacked, out of the blue, when doing absolutely nothing to warrant or invite such action, you shouldn’t be expected to be a mind reader and know that your attacker will limit themselves to only that measure of attack.

        I’m not saying “they should beat him into a bloody pulp”, but grabbing and restraining someone that has attacked someone completely unprovoked and holding him in place for some sort of authority to come and pick him up is absolutely valid as well.

          In the moment, sure. If someone had grabbed him (or even hit him) when he struck at Dina, that would be one thing, but time has passed, he didn’t actually hurt her and he hasn’t done anything else overt.

          He committed a minor act of violence against property, resulting in the destruction of at most $5 worth of cereal. (With, it should be noted, an apparent intention of intimidation, so calling it an assault is valid.) Responding to minor violence against property with moderate violence against his person would definitely count as an escalation, regardless of whether or not that escalation was justified.

          As for whether they SHOULD? I’m pretty certain he’s trying to BAIT a violent response. That would play into his hands.

            Legally, it IS assault. If the adults in this comic weren’t ninety-nine percent worthless, then all they would need to do is call the cops, show one of the countless phone vids up to that point, and he’d get a nice little stay in a small room for a few hours before his parents came to bail him out.

            However, escalating to assault and battery is not going to do the gang here any good at all; honestly, Walky kind of openly treating him as an insignificant annoyance may be the best thing.

              Some idiot knocking a tray out of someone’s hands isn’t the kind of thing cops get called over in the real world either.

              And what adults? Aren’t most of the staff in college cafeterias students themselves? Not the cooks, who’d be in back areas mostly, but those working the registers and stuff.

              Nobody has called the cops because again, he hasn’t actually done anything illegal here, just been a douche to random people in public which is sadly no against the law. I seriously doubt cops would take any of what happened so far remotely seriously. (The one who is doing it is a white dude after all).

          The situation in the comment section is some folks are using legal definitions and some people are using concepts of justice.
          Nobody should be arrested, or charged, or sentenced, for knocking over food. Even if that person is a douche. ACAB. This isn’t just some abstract hypothetical to me. A high school friend (non-white) of mine got a year’s probation for throwing a french fry at someone(white) saying, “I’ll get you”.

              To be fair, part of it is likely that we also know that he’s one of the kidnappers and thus has been and maybe still is more of a threat than he appears.

              They absolutely should restrain him and call the cops, but no one there knows it.

      I’m not so sure this meets the definition of “assault”. He hasn’t laid a finger on Dina. He destroyed some very small property of hers.

      His behavior is deliberately insulting and that makes us mad. I want to see him punished for it, but I think what he needs is to have his ego beaten within an inch of its life. To hear from all the guys in the room that he’s not their bro, not on their side, nobody cares about his silly quest, everybody thinks his attitude is weird and unnatural and a bit humorous. He should hear that everywhere he goes, until he figures out what it really is to be a man.

      Walky’s stare is more effective, because Incel’s already got a mental block for anything a woman says or does. He thinks Walky is like him, so Walky’s “dude, that’s fucking nonsense” glare is the best bet to undermine him.

                  Using man hating rhetoric to target trans women isn’t a shift towards feminism.

                  It’s not feminism, even when Terfs do it. Even less so when right wing Christians borrow the rhetoric.

                  this.

                  real Feminism, alongside other progressive politics, is routed in encouraging people of ALL gender orientations to work together to solve problems in the way of women and femme folk having more equity and freedom in our society

                  this is NOT the same as hating men in general, any notion to the contrary is but a product of conservative rhetoric, in which policy and social customs are only ever there to punish Those Who Stray From The Path.

              She has not shifted to feminism, not even GCF. She’s superficially aping their talking points because those, unlike her own socio-religious views, have been shown to gain traction in mainstream opinion.

              Any actual GCF would take one look at Mary, shake their head sadly, and walk away.

              (A list of things I can guarantee you that most GCFs actually believe in, that Mary doesn’t:
              1: Abortion on demand
              2: Gay and lesbian rights
              3: Equal opportunity/compensation laws in employment
              4: Ecological protection and restoration
              5: Police reform
              6: Racial justice
              7: Pro-labour economics)

                Well, I wouldn’t say that most GCs believe in those things, but then like TERFs, few GCs are actually feminist.
                Their general conception of women’s rights begins and ends with the transphobia.

          Excellent point. Hell, this will probably be revealed as the reason AG was late, which will cause Dotty to blame herself, resulting in a further downspiral, especially when other readers’ speculation that this is going to push Walky into triggering another breakup comes true.

    It seems that nobody has considered this take: I don’t think Walky is being influenced by the incel character in the way he thinks—not by converting Walky to incel ideology. Walky probably thinks this is similar to what he did to Dotty. She ended their relationship to focus on her studies, but the stress and anxiety overwhelmed her, leading her back to something familiar. That’s not the entire story, though. The crimson beige asshole definitely struck a nerve, just not in the way he intended.
