>>83301021Haha, thanks! :) I will get around to that... right now!
All right, Becky. Here, we have a character who's technically been with us since day one. She leaves Joyce behind to go to a more Christian college, where she decides to have lesbian pre-marital hanky-panky with her roomie. And that was the beginning of The Lesbo Train.
Becky gets kicked out and seeks shelter at Joyce's secular college. She loves Joyce so much that she has twisted their friendship into an assumption that Joyce loves her the same way (generally referred to as “projecting”). She kisses Joyce and is somehow surprised about getting rejected. Like a petulant teenager, she decides to yell about her lesbianism and get a haircut that grants her magic anime powers.
This is the strawman that Willis so loudly fights against. His strawman characters from all of his comics are essentially this character, but they’re usually overweight and unattractive in some way—because your appearance dictates who you are as a person, right? Willis’s strawmen are characterized by a few important features: they’re unable to listen to reason, they have loud and outlandish opinions/attitudes, and they have only these two character traits.
If Becky loves Joyce so much, why does she go out of her way to make her uncomfortable? It’s one thing to help someone push their boundaries, but Becky is not being helpful. Becky is loud, always right, and pretty much defines herself by her lesbianism.
Willis spends an excessive amount of time railing against strawmen, but look at the description of strawmen that I just gave. Hmmm... We’ve seen time and time again that he is unable to listen to reason and just covers his ears/eyes any time he hears/sees something he doesn’t like.
---I had a lot more to say about this than I thought I did. More posts coming.---
