Fortunately for The Ones of the Triangle, there will eventually be a bitter schism and civil war between the FazFacists and the ones who misread their name as “FazFascists”.
Reminds me that scene from Binbougami ga where the protag turned into Kenshiro to disguise herself, then her rival took it as a challenge, a friend assumed it’s some new fashion and soon Kenshiro faces were spreading like crazy.
Look again, it’s clearly curved. There’s a small bit where women aroused remains at zero, then it takes off, accelerates, and then decelerates slightly.
I was pressed into doing this once. I was playing with a university orchestra on a “spring mission trip” to Brazil, which was 6 days of us playing concerts around the country and being tourists, so, awesome, and 1 day of us helping remodel a church, which was fine, until they slapped a bunch of pamphlets in my hand and I found myself walking the streets of Rio de Janeiro, a trio of white, non-Portuguese speaking 20-year-olds trying to convince people they’d been wrong all their lives.
I certainly wasn’t a Christian before that, but that experience 100% drove the nail into the coffin of my religion.
The feeling of walking around the streets, handing out pamphlets to people as if I had any authority to tell grown-ass adults they were wrong about their religious choices and should convert.
My own experiences, memory of which is thankfully dimmed by years, and my present-day experiences tell me that late-teen and college-age humans ought to have the fewest problems telling “grown-ass” people they’re doing it wrong.
It looks like that graph shows a gradual plateau, actually. For as obviously absurd as it is, that’s still more self-awareness than I would expect of Faz.
Although maybe he’s set it up so the graph is over a lifelong period and that plateau occurs somewhere around age 250.
It may also be a recognition of… Please forgive me for this phrasing…. As arousal is something that fades with time, that plateau may be a theoretical saturation point, where he is arousing further ladies, while others are leaving his radius of effect and therefore becoming unaroused.
Incel: A narcissistic sack of shit who feels he is owed sexual gratification and long-term companionship. Frequently sighted making disparaging remarks regarding women, inventing nonsensical jargon, and demanding government-mandated prostitution.
… at least he’s aware incel ideology’s full of shit? Which means either some serious studying the last few days or even he has standards and awareness. Either way I’m counting this as a plus for Joe. But um, seriously. This was a bad idea.
‘s okay, I would have to look up MGTOW, PUA, and Incel if I was at all motivated. I’m assuming from the context of Joe’s line that incel isn’t anything I’d be interested in, but then I feel that way about Reddit in general.
Quick Google search Incel, Involuntary celebit men who blame women for “unfairly” refusing to date/have sex with them they generally think its because they aren’t handsome enough. Its actually because of there attitude towards women. Instead of working to improve themselves they hate women and men who date women.
MGTOW Men going there own way, men who have sworn off women, seems to range from okish to ranting about how the world favors women.
PUA pickup artist.
I’ve never got the impression that Joe feels women owe him sex and are horrible selfish harpies who should be literally enslaved if they won’t give it to him willingly.
Though he could transfer into that category if his reputation prevents him from continuing to score.
I don’t think he will, mind you. I think he’s moving onto a better path.
Also, I was going to say that the joke about the incel subreddit hadn’t aged well, since the sub got shut down, but who am I kidding? Half a dozen replacement subs must have cropped up by now.
Of course, if you know the movie, the scene in which the music plays has 007 being pursued by one of the villain’s hit gangs, who are being led by a particularly nasty KGB assassin. And whatever the production paid the stunt performers, it wasn’t enough.
I admit, I’m completely uncaring about real life psychology or consequences with Amber and want her to embrace her dark avenger of the night persona completely. Then we can follow her Dexter style around campus as she rids Indiana of rapists.
Thanks to xkcd, I’m reading Joe’s line in the third panel as him saying he’d be in “deep ass-shit”…which is still a correct turn of phrase surprisingly enough, if a little redundant.
To be fair, Joe says “AN incel subreddit”, not THE. And as MacBone points out, there’s probably around a dozen replacement subreddits by now, some of them thinly disguised.
I don’t use reddit and don’t know what an “incel” is.
*goes to Wikipedia for a minute*
Oh. Well that’s several degrees of messed up.
I don’t think Faz is quite at that level though.
Of course, with Blaine as a role model, who knows how badly he can turn?
He’s actually almost 16 and while I won’t argue the level of the sex drive at that age, most kids manage to keep it a bit less obvious – even if it’s just because they’re embarrassed and scared of rejection.
Faz appears to lack any filters or the concept of embarrassment.
Well, his social graces appear about on the same level.
He still has enormous apparent self-confidence though, knowing that his sexual conquests are just around the corner. Judging by a comment from his first appearance, he’s currently more on the edges of the PUA community.
He won’t see himself as an incel until that fails him, he accepts that he’s not going to get laid regularly and blames women in general for it.
Run Joe Run, each second Faz is on the loose your reputation will drop by 50 points… and seeing how it’s already in the negative you Really should hurry.
I want to see the accompanying graph … the one on which one axis is labelled “time” and the other one is “number of times I got shot down in flames (projected)”.
So… those strips where Amber’s fears about being defined as the “stabby girl” and people like Sierra and Carla proved her wrong… Joe is now doing exactly what she was afraid of.
It’s also worth considering that Joe may not be speaking totally sincerely, and this is probably more thoughtless hyperbole about the trouble he’s in than real belief that she’s going to stab him.
Mild Prediction: Joe accidentally drops this graph, people think it’s his, and he gets a taste of karmic humiliation.
Mind you, I don’t want that, but it could happen.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
confirming that the reason there's been no Galaxy Version female characters in Blokees until now is that they felt they needed to make Round Lady Thighs For Ladies

That line is always weak, but coming from a guy who had his ‘Do-list’ leaked not that long ago and yeah, I wouldn’t buy it either.
It really takes it from ‘Guy Probably Full Of Shit’ to ‘Guy TOTALLY Full Of Shit.’
Joe doing Faz!Face is simultaneously hilarious and terrifying.
Quit it, Joe, or it’ll stick that way.
If Joe made that graph it wouldn’t be “(Projected.)”
Joe please never make that face again
FazFace is spreading. Like a fad.
Soon there will be a bitter war between the FazFacists and the Cult of the Triangle Smile.
Fortunately for The Ones of the Triangle, there will eventually be a bitter schism and civil war between the FazFacists and the ones who misread their name as “FazFascists”.
Dont u mean Fazcists hehehh
I’ll go now
My brain insisted on reading that as “faz-cysts” :/
Reminds me that scene from Binbougami ga where the protag turned into Kenshiro to disguise herself, then her rival took it as a challenge, a friend assumed it’s some new fashion and soon Kenshiro faces were spreading like crazy.
Fazcists
…. panel 3, you mean?
That graph is just a line straight up vertically
That is terrible! No, The Faz would never do such a thing.
It is a sharp curve and a DOTTED vertical line. Boy knows graphs.
I could make a dirty joke here about up-ness but I won’t.
Time is usually the horizontal axis, so a straight horizontal line – straight vertical would mean he aroused every woman on earth at once….
So what you’re saying is it’s a straight line up vertically.
so he’s admitting the truth: no woman will be aroused by him?
Look again, it’s clearly curved. There’s a small bit where women aroused remains at zero, then it takes off, accelerates, and then decelerates slightly.
…is Faz dropping these graphs on purpose, hoping someone will pick them up?
He’s like one of those religious groups that goes around distributing their literature, except Faz’s religion is his sex drive.
I was pressed into doing this once. I was playing with a university orchestra on a “spring mission trip” to Brazil, which was 6 days of us playing concerts around the country and being tourists, so, awesome, and 1 day of us helping remodel a church, which was fine, until they slapped a bunch of pamphlets in my hand and I found myself walking the streets of Rio de Janeiro, a trio of white, non-Portuguese speaking 20-year-olds trying to convince people they’d been wrong all their lives.
I certainly wasn’t a Christian before that, but that experience 100% drove the nail into the coffin of my religion.
Which was the part that bothered you? The lack of care to your situation/preparation or the fact you were evangelizing?
The feeling of walking around the streets, handing out pamphlets to people as if I had any authority to tell grown-ass adults they were wrong about their religious choices and should convert.
My own experiences, memory of which is thankfully dimmed by years, and my present-day experiences tell me that late-teen and college-age humans ought to have the fewest problems telling “grown-ass” people they’re doing it wrong.
still holding out hope this results in the Advent of Wen
What? Where!?
What is at second base. (Who?) Who’s on first.
And Where must be the right fielder, as that’s the only position not specified in the famous routine
That’s one Second Coming the world can do without.
“Faz and Wen have had many comings.”
Quiet, you.
It looks like that graph shows a gradual plateau, actually. For as obviously absurd as it is, that’s still more self-awareness than I would expect of Faz.
Although maybe he’s set it up so the graph is over a lifelong period and that plateau occurs somewhere around age 250.
“Faz is not limited by self-awareness. But Faz shall eventually be limited by the slow growth rate of the Earth-wide lady population.”
I’m torn between responding “+5 insightful” and “But not the growth of their individual excitement, sexual and otherwise, about Faz.”
It may also be a recognition of… Please forgive me for this phrasing…. As arousal is something that fades with time, that plateau may be a theoretical saturation point, where he is arousing further ladies, while others are leaving his radius of effect and therefore becoming unaroused.
Today’s word of the day: incel
Incel: A narcissistic sack of shit who feels he is owed sexual gratification and long-term companionship. Frequently sighted making disparaging remarks regarding women, inventing nonsensical jargon, and demanding government-mandated prostitution.
I have spent enough time reading fanfics that although I know what it really means, every time I see it I mistake it for an incest label.
This is what happens when an echo chamber’s feedback loop grows loud enough.
See also: MRA, PUA, “Game”
A common on ramp to the alt-right.
Wait, Faz wrote “I” and not “Faz”? Is that progress?
No, it’s whatever the opposite of progress is. Oh, that’s right. Senate.
“Faz is the Senate.”
Progress is going out. Congress is coming together.
Well played.
… at least he’s aware incel ideology’s full of shit? Which means either some serious studying the last few days or even he has standards and awareness. Either way I’m counting this as a plus for Joe. But um, seriously. This was a bad idea.
I just had a scary thought. Faz is probably a prime candidate to end up being either an incel or a MGTOW when his attempts at being a PUA fail.
Disturbingly likely, yeah. (Thank Willis for our timescale meaning we won’t have to see that. *shudders*)
I had to look up what MGTOW meant… I generally know of them by a different term.
‘s okay, I would have to look up MGTOW, PUA, and Incel if I was at all motivated. I’m assuming from the context of Joe’s line that incel isn’t anything I’d be interested in, but then I feel that way about Reddit in general.
Quick Google search Incel, Involuntary celebit men who blame women for “unfairly” refusing to date/have sex with them they generally think its because they aren’t handsome enough. Its actually because of there attitude towards women. Instead of working to improve themselves they hate women and men who date women.
MGTOW Men going there own way, men who have sworn off women, seems to range from okish to ranting about how the world favors women.
PUA pickup artist.
………………………………………
I knew what “incel” meant in a general sense, but the actual long form being “involuntarily celibate” makes me want to gouge my eyes out.
I dunno, the fact these guys are so set on the idea to create a dang nickname for it is a whole nother level of squick.
Learned something new
Joe engaged in misogyny, but even he didn’t go incel levels of misogyny.
I’ve never got the impression that Joe feels women owe him sex and are horrible selfish harpies who should be literally enslaved if they won’t give it to him willingly.
Yeah, while Joe is somewhat sleazy, he’s nowhere near the level of myopic misogyny that incels are on.
The very fact he’s had lots of sex with women makes him ineligible for incelism. Unfortunately he could be slotted into the Pickup Artist category.
Though he could transfer into that category if his reputation prevents him from continuing to score.
I don’t think he will, mind you. I think he’s moving onto a better path.
Also, I was going to say that the joke about the incel subreddit hadn’t aged well, since the sub got shut down, but who am I kidding? Half a dozen replacement subs must have cropped up by now.
…. So they’re inincels?
Until they cross the wrong people and end up in cells.
They have, and they’re all hilariously pathetic.
To the surprise of absolutely nobody.
Well Faz has yet to say anything about woman all being sluts who deserve to be raped, so he’s still doing better than incel subreddits
Or mention of Chad or Stacy.
Where was Faz even carrying that graph anyway? Does he have some sort of hammerspace where he keeps graphs?
Yes. It is called Fazspace.
The opening to it is in his pants.
Panel 3 Joe: You assume much if you think Amber will be disappointed by Faz’s disappearance.
It’s not him being gone that’s the problem so much as him roaming freely.
That’s not “disappeared”. That’s “unleashed”.
… You know actually do they make kid leashes that big? Because while I’d normally find such things horrifying, Faz would benefit from one.
We passed the Child Boutique a few strips back, remember?
–Dave, also comes with solid lead internet blockers and some of Mrs Piggle-Wiggle’s concoctions
Yes they do make them. You likely don’t want to know at least one of the reasons why they do.
*”Runaway” from For Your Eyes Only has been continuing to play*
“Faz hopes he can pull as many ladies as James Bond has. Of course it will hopefully involve less encounters with SPECTRE.”
Of course, if you know the movie, the scene in which the music plays has 007 being pursued by one of the villain’s hit gangs, who are being led by a particularly nasty KGB assassin. And whatever the production paid the stunt performers, it wasn’t enough.
What scene does the music play if I don’t know the movie?
I’m reminded of the The Runaway Train …
I’m sure Amber will be thrilled to know that people are still referring to her as the Crazy Stabby Girl.
To be honest, that’d probably upset her more than Faz disappearing
Oh no, her reaction will be worse than that.
She will feel validated in thinking of herself as a monster.
I admit, I’m completely uncaring about real life psychology or consequences with Amber and want her to embrace her dark avenger of the night persona completely. Then we can follow her Dexter style around campus as she rids Indiana of rapists.
A. She assumes that, anyway
B. It’s Joe, I don’t think she’d give many shits.
To be fair, I don’t think that Joe has ever actually stopped and I suspect that Amber would be concerned that he had been replaced with a pod person.
I’m 100% stealing “social graces of an incel subreddit”.
You can’t steal a negative quantity.
Thanks to xkcd, I’m reading Joe’s line in the third panel as him saying he’d be in “deep ass-shit”…which is still a correct turn of phrase surprisingly enough, if a little redundant.
I immediately thought that too!!
Was this comic strip drawn before or after r/incels got shut down?
They’re like the hydra. Cut them down, and two more spring up in their place. Napalm is the only solution.
To be fair, Joe says “AN incel subreddit”, not THE. And as MacBone points out, there’s probably around a dozen replacement subreddits by now, some of them thinly disguised.
I don’t use reddit and don’t know what an “incel” is.
*goes to Wikipedia for a minute*
Oh. Well that’s several degrees of messed up.
I don’t think Faz is quite at that level though.
Of course, with Blaine as a role model, who knows how badly he can turn?
He’s fourteen and thus all things are sexual.
He’s actually almost 16 and while I won’t argue the level of the sex drive at that age, most kids manage to keep it a bit less obvious – even if it’s just because they’re embarrassed and scared of rejection.
Faz appears to lack any filters or the concept of embarrassment.
I went back and looked it up and you’re right, he’s nearly 16. http://www.dumbingofage.com/2018/comic/book-8/03-faz-is-great/handle-2/#comment-1309734
Then Amber’s treatment is ridiculous.
Huh?
If you mean Amber’s treatment of Faz, what is she supposed to do?
Well, his social graces appear about on the same level.
He still has enormous apparent self-confidence though, knowing that his sexual conquests are just around the corner. Judging by a comment from his first appearance, he’s currently more on the edges of the PUA community.
He won’t see himself as an incel until that fails him, he accepts that he’s not going to get laid regularly and blames women in general for it.
These two no name losers have had more lines than most extras and no tag! Snub! I call snub! Baldy and Curls deserve tags!
Dirk and Farah
Yes. Yes!
Name all the one-off background characters!
He got hacked? Is it hacky girl or stabby girl? Make up your mind!
Change that to “annoyed” and the chart is pretty accurate unless Joe catch the little creep.
That sub-text made me laugh harder than it should have.
I agree with Joe’s assessment. Only Faz could have created that graph.
Joe, like many of us, is confused as to what he will be to Faz if Richard and Stacy marry.
Step-step brother, two degrees of separation? Dubstep brother?
In the words of Dark Helmet: Absolutely nothing
Which is what Joe is about to become if he doesn’t catch up to Faz… or so he thinks.
That scene has been running through my head since Joe and Faz met.
It wasn’t me, my bro vandalised wikipedia from my computer while I was eating !
Run Joe Run, each second Faz is on the loose your reputation will drop by 50 points… and seeing how it’s already in the negative you Really should hurry.
I want to see the accompanying graph … the one on which one axis is labelled “time” and the other one is “number of times I got shot down in flames (projected)”.
Faz is literally incapable of perceiving that. He tends to see it as ‘playing hard to get’ or ‘thinking about it – push harder’.
Smugness is a renewable resource
Could Smugness be used as a fuel source?
i Bet Faz is going to be in that boutique that we saw way back at the beginning..
Y’know it’s funny, for someone who just lost Faz, Joe sure doesn’t seem very… Unfaz’d.
*goes back and checks* YES I’m the first one to make that pun at least in the current subplot.
Oh my GOD I just noticed Joe is making Faz’s face in panel 2.
Never disappoint the crazy stabby girl.
Oh, so that’s how you make that happen. HEY, ANYBODY WANT STABBED?
So… those strips where Amber’s fears about being defined as the “stabby girl” and people like Sierra and Carla proved her wrong… Joe is now doing exactly what she was afraid of.
I recall it as her expecting to be known as the crazy stabby girl – more than fearing it.
It’s also worth considering that Joe may not be speaking totally sincerely, and this is probably more thoughtless hyperbole about the trouble he’s in than real belief that she’s going to stab him.
“Hey Joe, where you gonna go with that graph in your hand …”
Mild Prediction: Joe accidentally drops this graph, people think it’s his, and he gets a taste of karmic humiliation.
Mind you, I don’t want that, but it could happen.
Or it’s Donald Trumps.
I’ll see myself out.
The first unnamed character is totally a poseable art figure with a face, isn’t it ?
I honestly feel bad for Joe, because he’s at least trying (and failing) to do things right haha
