Terrible

Gawt Dang these two are retarded and jump right off the deep end at the drop of a hat. I see where Ahn gets it from now.

Even within the confines of QC, nothing is happening.

>>149480969 (OP)
I don't usually feel active interest in any QC plotline, but smothering the Executive Anh plotline in the crib is so lame and gay I'm actually angry. I guess Hacques got skittish that something might actually happen in this plodding dirge and killed it before it began.

probably realised it could threaten is his own presuppositions, taken far enough...

You just know that whenever Anh fucks a guy she calls him Daddy

Haven't checked in in about 6 years. Marten still tranny smashing? Is the Faye/Marten endgame completely abandoned?

>>149482541
>Is the Faye/Marten endgame completely abandoned?
It never even existed, Faye is lesbian for a robot

>>149482541
Yes, but there's a cyborg, a googirl, and a robot after his dick and Claire is a workaholic who is actively disengaging from the relationship. All this shit is the B-plot while the Martenbowl is at a cliffhanger. Faye is completely off the table, she's dating a female robot the size of an F250 and Marten moved to an island off the coast of Canada.

>>149482742
It doesn't have to be permanent. Marten and Faye both had previous relationships

Has Jeph ever actually interacted with real human beings before?

>>149483579
Honestly it's the dad who's acting with inhuman magnanimity. When given the option between continuing to complain or having actual responsibility thrust upon them, most people will choose to keep complaining. Of course Anh's choice is meant to look like the principled one, but Anh doesn't seem like she believes strongly in anything in particular, rather she's highly reactive and motivated by whatever she's feeling at the time. It's the whole reason she uprooted her life and ended up here.

>>149484338
You wouldn't accept a job that you have zero qualifications for just because your dad wanted you to see you get fucked doing it

>>149484435
NTA but I might...

I mean, I'd go down in a blaze of (un)glory as CEO of anything but at least I'd briefly get a high salary and get to do things on my own terms.

>>149484338
Anh's dad's lines in this whole series of strips has just been bafflingly stupid and inhuman.
I know he's supposed to be
>the evil soulless corporate CEO
but it's handled so poorly

>>149485041
he's not evil, just souless

>>149482742

Faye/Marten endgame was barely a possibility and was canned literally 500 pages into this 5600 page comic.

>>149484338

Anh's a spoiled brat but there's nothing magnanimous about throwing your daughter under the bus, then revealing you could contact her at any point despite having her need to call in *support tickets* just to reach you. And then setting her up to fail by giving her a CEO position and then telling her the board would be trying to fuck her over at every moment, which wouldn't be hard when she's assuredly got no business acumen.

>>149485041
The one thing I'll say is my friend's brother is married to a girl in the same position as Anh; her family is rich as fuck from foreign business connections and controls all the children by granting/revoking shit like new cars, a house in Scotland, cushy do-nothing jobs, international vacations, etc. Anyone on the shitlist gets completely blackballed but that can be reversed in an instant depending on the father's mood, and they all just pretend like the dance is normal. People like this do exist, and they're exactly this batshit and petty.

>>149485287

>>149485287
NTA, but I accept that there are real world rich people with wackadoodle family dynamics, enough so to accept this portrayal as plausible unlike some of my fellow anons. What I personally don't accept is the depiction of this dynamic as black and white when we A: don't know a lot about these two people and B: from what we've seen she's a certified trainwreck and he's tired of her shit.


We don't know why the ticket system that people keep focusing on was set up, maybe she was blowing his phone up 24/7 with rich girl problems with party music pumping in the background. We do know she regularly takes recreational drugs, legal and not, has been erratic and over the top since her first appearance, and done several gigantic life changes since she appeared. We know she demonstrated few moral principles before the video post that started this plotline, and she did demonstrate ample ignorance of life basics (not as basic as raisins, though).

Is he actually a terrible person? It sure seems like that, but maybe he's just really tired of her shit and his company is unfairly scapegoated. Is she a terrible person? We've seen ample proof of that, before she started to sponge a moral stance from the people she attached herself to less than 24 hours ago. Is this whole storyline pretty shit? Yep.

>stupid people trying to write smart characters

>>149485901
>enough so to accept this portrayal as plausible unlike some of my fellow anons
If you're referring to me >>149485371, I'm pretty sure I've met a few of those types of families too, though I didn't get the full picture of their dynamic. The plausibility is exactly what makes it so depressing/funny in a cosmic sort of way.

>>149485901
>the father that humiliated her daughter on live television, demanded her to further demean herself on stream and was ready to completely destroy his own business just so he could say she was incompetent and useless is the one in the right

>>149486010
Good sir, thine Anon is ruminating and postulating that Jeffrey Jacks is using "Artificial Intelligence" to write this very comic of the web -not mere mockery or modification of someone else's designs, but on his very own works, which he claims are made by his own hand and no one else's!

>>149486037

>>149485986
She apparently demeans herself on the regular, given what we already saw of her life and her social media following. Moreover, given her prior behavior and lack of displayed principles, he 100% had good reason to believe this was some more drug fueled bullshit, only now instead of only being about her own life it was affecting his company. How good or bad he is doesn't change that she really does seem off her rocker, which contextualizes his actions as trying to get her to sober up and realize what she's doing (which isn't a statement that his actions are reasonable or honest, just that it's pretty clear what he wishes would be their effect).

>>149485901
Actually from what we've gotten Mr. Dang both has never wanted anything to do with his daughter and holds her in contempt for not living up to a standard he never in no way facilitated. We know Anh was sent to boarding school as early as an elementary level, we know she has to schedule open-ended tickets for him to communicate with her, we know that he demeans her (and her mother) to her face, and we know he is perfectly willing to commit public slander against her. His initial demand was for her to publicly humiliate herself and destroy her credibility for his benefit. His second demand was for her...to publicly humiliate herself and destroy her creditability by agreeing to be a powerless corporate figleaf for his benefit. At worst, Anh is an impulsive idiot; at best, Mr. Dang is a legit sociopath. But no matter how you cut it, he's an exceptionally shitty parent.

Remember that time Roko made a drunk social media callout rant and it immediately made things work out for the better?

>>149486198
Hey, read this
>Is he actually a terrible person? It sure seems like that
No, actually read it
>Is he actually a terrible person? It sure seems like that
I don't fucking care though, because he's on the other side of a phone and she's our viewpoint character, so we don't actually have his inner thoughts while she keeps spraying them at anyone in earshot, and because the narrative already positions him as the bad guy, but for some reason wants us to believe she's the good guy.
Again, actually read it
>the narrative already positions him as the bad guy, but for some reason wants us to believe she's the good guy.
What I'm pushing against is the narrative that she's the good guy. I don't give a shit how bad a guy he is, I don't care if the rationalizations for his behavior are true or not, I'm criticizing the comic for that false binary. Don't come at come again with "but-but, you don't get it, he's BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD" like that's some fucking revelation or like you're correcting the record.

>>149486277
Why didn't me get bondage porn of this, and instead breadfetish?

>>149486303
Bro, Elon Musk isn't going to come down from space and be your real dad for sticking up for the fictional billionaire. This isn't even a matter of Jeph accidentally making Mr. Dang right, his actions are flat out idiocy from the perspective of a rational person or businessman.

>>149486382
You really do need to be spoonfed.

I absolutely agree with you. He's a bad, BAAAAAAAAAAAAAD man. He's just, like, so bad, you know. You know! He's really, really bad.

Now shut the fuck up so we can talk about the viewpoint character Ahn and meta-criticize the quality of writing, because your black and white inability to understand nuance is grating.

>>149485901
>What I personally don't accept is the depiction of this dynamic as black and white when we A: don't know a lot about these two people
If you do'nt know a lot about those people, how can you already conclude it's black and white.


It's not so much black and white rather than done from the point of view of Ahn.

The only important black & white thing in QC
