Gotta say that was far better than I expected, looking forward to the rest of the season.

Not a major spoiler at all. The reason for his scarred face WAS:

Kid with the deformed face shot himself in a suicide attempt. In the source material (because it was the 90's) he and some other dopey kid made a suicide pact because their lives were shitty and Kurt Cobain had recently killed himself. Since that won't relate well with the current generation who knows what they make up for as the reason. If they do make one up at all. It was really just fluff. Not the scarred face, but the reason for it.

Guy who ate a teabag I cannot place. No idea.

EDIT: Nitpicky but can we get AMOD to change the name of this thread to something less wordy? Like Preacher (TV series) or something?
Wasn't his name assface or something in the comic? And similar to the hysteria in the 90s everyone was concerned that since he was popular and disfigured himself others will copycat?

Its been a few years since I read Preacher. I didn't really like it enough to give it another read, either.

Tenks, I know you're a pretty popular <insert gender appropriate pronoun here>, but do you have room for another friend? I feel like we could bro it out. #nohomo

Arseface. His story gets progressively more batshit insane as the comic goes on.

Probably better than identifying with the Sexual Investigators, really. At least arseface has some redemption. Those guys just bugger people up their hiney.

Tried to like this.

Got as far as the 10 year old girl saying, "Stronk womyn don't need no man around..." then the usual "Stupid men this stupid selfish men that..." before I gave up.

They should label shows by social justice warrior level 'cause I got tired of the man-bashing 10 years ago.

This may surprise you, but there is this thing called "character development" and it requires you demonstrate how a character thinks/what their quirks are/etc. Did you completely miss the fact that after she said that, she was basically bitter/obsessive as fuck about the guy who walked out on her ;p

Rofl @ people being overly sensitive about overly sensitive people. We need a meta gif of the SJW where the anti-SJWs are triggered by equally make believe SJW'isms and finding attempts at social justice which do not exist.

Bruh, I'm about as anti-SJW as they come. Just because a show has someone saying those things, doesn't mean the tone of the entire show is that. It's ok to have man-bashing characters in a story. It's when the entire story is encompassed by shit like that, that it becomes a problem.

I didn't get any either, and I've been on high-alert the last year!

It's becoming a trend to inject the backlash into every thread on the forum. It's certainly expanded beyond those listed in the so-called primer. The porn threads are the last sanctuary.

Right but the difference is, and one reason why I don't believe the echo chamber BS, at least we can still pop in and say, "you're over reacting, it was character development / a plot point / a single instance," whatever.

Which I'm not trying to say you don't already see the distinction, just that we do kind of try to be sane about the pearl clutching where appropriate.

Also, I think it already hit the porn threads where we needed to create safe spaces for people who like BBW, GWBBT, GWBMLT, GFTHFT, etc... Even that came out of people complaining about ruining the PGT and it not being inclusive enough.

I post to PGT occasionally but I never peruse it (takes too damn long for the page to load all of those large hi-res pics) and I can't say that I've seen any evidence of it in the others. Maybe you're talking about the Comments forum (which I almost never read either) ?

Nah, I was making more a weak inside joke and bad comparison for the sake of supporting it. Just that when we had the PGT and only the PGT there was disagreement over the definition of what people wanted which ended up with Wolfen leaving the forum and needing to create different threads for ' differently pretty ' girls. But like I said, it was a weak joke to begin with and not worth much investigation.

Dude it was awesome. Cassidy thought those two guys... whoever they were... were the vampire hunters looking for him earlier. But I guess they were part of The Grail or something? Trying to trap the Genesis?


Also Saint of Killers origin story. Get Hype.
