jim davis gets a lot of hate but i never heard him referred to as that "creepy garfield guy"

Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 19:59 (thirteen years ago)

dave sim though...

Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 20:01 (thirteen years ago)

i wondered that but i'm not giving that guy the benefit of the doubt tbf

But... it's not even hidden in subtext. It's very very blatant.

it's just knowing enough--taken with other stuff i've seen of that comic--to just kinda make me think he is that guy all the time, y'know? i have trouble divorcing it from "creepy xkcd guy"

Well, maybe it's a behaviour he recognised in himself and was a piece of self-criticism, but at least that shows a level of self-awareness beyond what most creepy-nice-guys have.

He still writes terrible comics, though.

i'm gonna risk google and put this up here

ALMOST WENT TO JAIL/BANNED FROM CAMPUS FOR DOING DAYGAME

For the past 3 weeks I have been sarging a local university campus after school trying to get over my approach anxiety. I have done extremely well. Some days not so much, but I am seeing a great improvement in general. Used to, the very thought of approaching a hot girl would give me anxiety, but now I can talk to them like it's no big deal.

I admit it was dark when I did my last approach for the day, a 2 set walking to their dorm. I ran up to them and said, "hey you guys. Relax, this is not a robbery. I just have to tell you I saw you guys back there and I thought you were really cute and I had to come say hi." They laughed, so I introduced myself. Afterward, they started to walk away. I tried to save the set by saying, "so where are you guys going right now?" And they said back to their dorm. I ejected at that point, and told them it was nice meeting them and left. (Keep in mind I have NO GAME yet.)

About 15 minutes later I go back to my car, get in and a cop in an SUV pulls up next to me.

"I need you to step out of the car. I'm campus police."

I thought "what the hell did I do?" But complied anyway. Once I stepped out, he radioed a bunch of cops and they all surrounded me. I was scared shitless. "What did I do?" I asked. "You're creeping people out." He said. He asked me where I had been recently and I told him what I was doing. Then I proceeded to tell him the whole story-how I was trying to improve my skills with women by talking to as many as I could. Then the cop behind me chimed in and berated me. They said the girls got scared when I told them "this is not a robbery." I tried to explain it some more, I said that as halfway a joke and half way to keep them from thinking that, to no effect. That's a line I got from Sasha Daygame for God's sake. "You're a fucking weirdo." He said, "and I consider you a threat to the mental health of my campus."

Christ, give me the button that brings ILX up to the general awareness of crepey behaviour that xkcd has, and watch me mash that fucker.

Re: Megan - this should be taken in the context of the strip at that point is overly-elaborate leadups to eg "your mom" jokes.

i was walking down the street the other day and i saw a group of teenage orthodox jews dressed in their pseudo-sharp suits and fedoras, and briefly had the idea to make an 'orthodox jew or brony?' tumblr. i think i'm an anti-semite.

one thing i really, really don't get about some members of the generation raised on the internet is the weird insistence that nothing is off limits or crosses and line and if you think there is, the problem is with you MAAAAAAAAN

this wasn't even a big trend really until like...maybe 5 years ago? i'm curious where it originated, i didn't notice it much until 4chan became a prominent site

ciderpress, Thursday, 11 October 2012 15:36 (thirteen years ago)

yeah, i've definitely noticed it more and more in that same time too. its just, weird. to say the least.

HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 11 October 2012 15:40 (thirteen years ago)

feel like theres going to be a strong backlash from the same generation re: that attitude. but its just a feel

(♥___♥) (roxymuzak), Thursday, 11 October 2012 15:41 (thirteen years ago)

This nation will elect a 4channer as president one day, mark my words.

pplains, Thursday, 11 October 2012 15:42 (thirteen years ago)

its just that funny post hippie libertarianism where individual freedom to do whatever, usually be an asshole or be into gross sex shit, is the Only Value
