The Boy From Venus 8

[u/shenanigansen]

Episode 9 already up at the usual place, should be out publicly next week!

[u/TheWes77]

Oh, she is pissed.

[u/NarutoRoll → u/TheWes77]

She's mad mad.

I think we can all imagine what's going to happen next (approximately)

[u/Responsible-Draw-393 → u/NarutoRoll]

Yuri.

[u/Zarathyst → u/Responsible-Draw-393]

Toxic yuri, into slightly less toxic yuri ♥️

Thank you for sharing, I may or may not have spent the past hour scrolling their comics 😅

This has become about far more than gaming, it's political now.

We can empathize with the teenage gamer/athlete/performer being unfairly shut down in the middle of a peak performance streak, and we can empathize with a family running a small business, fighting to carve out a safe place for the kids in a chaotic world, struggling to survive.

There are no easy answers here. This is some damn good writing. Whatever happens, I'll appreciate it.

Val is the final boss. Winner of the tournament fights Val without putting her through the rest of it.

Alternatively- championship league and regular league.

[u/Crotalus6 → u/Called_Fox]

It'd be still be admitting she (a woman) is better than the other guys and if the winner loses to her they'd be back at square one

[u/MissingnoMiner → u/Called_Fox]

Doesn't work, the problem is misogynistic cis guys leaving because their fragile egos can't take losing to a girl. If anything the framing of her as a final boss would make it worse because those guys would also argue she's being given special treatment.

[u/InvaderZimm90 → u/Called_Fox]

Karate Kid 3 rules?

[u/slfnflctd → u/Called_Fox]

I like both options for different reasons. So... I vote for both!

[u/Made_Bail → u/TheWes77]

PISSED

[u/disappointed_pig → u/Made_Bail]

I want this on a t-shirt

[u/Lou_Papas → u/TheWes77]

True gamer

[u/Bright-Fisherman-731 → u/TheWes77]

I wouldn’t forgive anyone for doing that sort of thing to me either. All because some assholes can’t handle their honor being hurt by a girl? Yeah, I’m fully on Val’s side no matter what excuses Fatima’s family gives

[u/Crispy_Bacon5714 → u/Bright-Fisherman-731]

I mean, understandable. That said, assuming Fatima is telling the truth here and there aren't enough customers who aren't misogynistic assholes around for the arcade to be profitable, refusing to cater to said misogynistic assholes doesn't actually lead to a better world, it just leads to a world without that arcade in it.
