   @VikingWays @TrevorGoodchild He really should've redeemed himself by turning the strip into Dark Dilbert. The guy's got a lot of anger and he could've worked it out in the funny pages instead of turning the joke on himself.

     @dogslurp @VikingWays Would have been very similar to what Dave Sim did with the 'Cerebus' comic, also caused by Dave's disenchantment with the fairer sex
     
     That would have been something

     @TrevorGoodchild Those who weren't there have no idea what a shock it was to the left - which was basically 95% of indie comics fandom - when Sim turned sex realist.
     
     Indie comics were all about the sexual revolution, drugs, anarchy, elf orgies and ninja turtles. Sim's truth was as welcome as the plague.

     @TrevorGoodchild @judgedread That article provides a great explanation as to why the relatively few legit game guys (as opposed to all the fakes and copycats) eventually all suffered burnout. Some pivoted to politics, some found God (roosh lol) and the rest just vanished

     @judgedread Heartiste made the same point in a kinder way. Paraphrased: learning how to crack the femael matrix code so that you can easily get laid just makes you disheartened as a man and not want to engage in casual sex at all

     @TrevorGoodchild His opener was brutal. Paraphrased: For the first time I spoke to women without any ulterior sexual motive and soon realized they were all vapid amoral idiots.

     @DW2 @judgedread Although promiscuity affects men and women differently, rakes and cads eventually end up in their own personal Hells. The smart ones bail early.
     
     I think Mystery vanished and settled down into an LTR as well

     @TrevorGoodchild @judgedread I’m sure seeing the smartphone/dating app/social media/grrrl boss sludge bomb go off over the last decade was the nail in the coffin for a lot of them.
     
     Cant say I blame them either, zoomers make millennials look like goddam lotharios, which I didn’t think was possible

     @WilhelmIII Women do hate each other, but I am unconvinced they understand themselves.

     Men: Do not try to understand woman.

     Women understand women and they hate each other.
