somehow this seems like the most penny arcade penny arcade that ever penny arcaded
like it has moved into satire unintentionally

the sitting on swings
the tortured oh-so-clever "holomouth materializes around my shaft"
faux-naivety of commercialism juxtaposed with insider commentary
chains and trees that look like they were drawn by a preschooler on a wacom tablet
"teevees and screens and controllers and what have you"

how is that... unintentional?

questionable quality of humor yes, but i think that's what they're actually going for

Do you go to the penny arcade website on purpose?

i don't even know anymore

^

now i know what nhex is looking for in a web comic

dick wolves?

whatever it is, it's not pornographic bieber fan fiction, i'll tell you that much

i think you might have misread the intent of that comic

did i?

well i don't want to foreclose on alternative interpretations...

dude is having some sort of transphobic twitter meltdown

@juliepagano if thinking that all women have a vagina makes me a monster than yes I am a monster.

... do they share it, or

apparently he was going it a couple weeks ago too:

@cwgabriel
@pikoeri for a man who is a woman or a woman who is a man. I think a boy has a penis and a girl has a vagania.

glad to see someone is standing up for stubbornly ignorant people on the internet

these guys are truly shitty individuals

they sort of exemplify the whole internet/gamer-dude thing of wrapping yourself in bullshit "but i'm such a nice dude"-ness as a way to never admit your privilege or that you're wrong

everyday assholes iow

can I have a minute to get over the typo "vagania" before we continue talking about how terrible this dude is

come on, come on down, sweet vagania

Castlevagania

Castlevagania II: Simon's Quim

etc

come on, come on down, sweet vagania

a+

why is this guy even engaging the topic of trans ppl

internet

Why does anyone think it's a good idea to follow Gabe on Twitter seems a better question.

... do they share it, or

lol at addition of "can we all just get along"
so so tone deaf

i can't bear to find one right now but yall should find a video of this guy talking and moving around, gargly nasal spit-retaining pedant voice, jerky baseball-ducking marionette movements, ugh just wanna shove him in a locker

This brought back another twitter argument from a week or so ago in which I defended a game about female masturbation. This game only included vaginas which I thought was reasonable given the point of the game was to teach women how to masturbate. It was pointed out to me that not all women have vaginas and I will admit right here in front of everyone that this came as a big shock to me. Some people called the game exclusionary because it did not take into account the existence of transexuals

tbf he does end it with this

I’m very sorry about yesterday. There are very few things that someone can say to me that will actually make me lose my temper. All my buttons got pushed yesterday though and I snapped. I doubt that will change anyone’s opinion but there you go. I’m not qualified to talk about the ambiguity of sexuality and frankly I don’t give a shit about it. I like drawing comics and playing video games. I’ll keep my mouth shut when it comes to all the other stuff.

that's not really an apology!

i was more referring to admitting he's kind of an ignorant idiot. actually that might not be intentional

uh

"i'm very sorry you're angry at me. i never expected actual criticism. some of it hit too close to home and i snapped. i doubt this apology will work, since you fuckers seem to feel like this shit matters, but there you go. i suck about talking about other people's experiences; that's fine, because i don't care about them. i'm not interested in moving beyond my narrow self-definition or seeing how it relates to other people. i'll shut up now so i can keep stacking bills."

i think this is the game in question: http://happyplaytime.com

i love how people who get called out on shit are always like "man, twitter sucks!"

the PAX Australia panel is like a giant version of that

I’ve spent the last few days trying to apologize to people I hurt. I’ve been doing it via email and I’ve given out my phone number a lot. I realize I was wrong and I’m genuinely sorry. I also realize I can’t possibly apologize on the phone to each and every person I hurt. I’m going to keep trying, but I’ve also decided to personally make a donation to the Trevor Project of $20,000.00. I also plan to keep interacting with people on a personal level and I understand that will be an ongoing process. In the meantime I’m hoping this donation will do some real good for a group that desperately needs it.

Good first step. Now stop being a douche in general.

To be fair, that is a good and reasonable response.
