Chaotic neutral, everyone.
@ Nickel:
Basically the purest form, yeah.
@ Nickel:
And she does it so well.
I used to have half my class like that, twelve-year-old girls. It’s perfectly normal.
Why yes, an irrelevant form of entertainment will always distract us from the problem.
And after that interlude the angry-mob and the immigrants started clashing, causing even more tensions between the two groups.
THE END!

I’ve never seen modern day protests summed up so succinctly.
Well, I admit that at least it did mock the “certain magic to stop social problems” plot in story.
Like the cancer-curing pods in Elysium, I get it when it try to show rich-poor divide but that ending felt really cheap. Contrast it with Alita where making cybernetics to everyone did not help the social divide but to an extent worsen it (though the galaxy was already in warring shambles).

Larissa is just looking for a boyfriend.
Alternative interpretation: It’s a quip at people who want to advocare “peace”, but are more interested in being admired & not really in solving the actual, underlying conflicts.
Do those “Swedes” bow to Mecca?
Is this going to end with the German refugees and Americans agreeing “Down with the pyromaniac Russians!”?
“When in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.” I guess a pirouette counts.
Clearly this is about Eurovision, they peaked with Lena and have joined the other founding nations in the bottom of the ranks.

Nope, but they use hakkapeliitta troops

Na, it’s obviously the Germans who bow to Mecca. THEY are the refugees here. The Swedes just liberated their former home country.
Larisa sure is cute!!
Landon is a lucky guy!!
And yes, @Arent, Larisa has a boyfriend and she’s quite fond of him.
Can someone PLEASE apply rule34 on the dark german guy?
He’s so handsome and smexy. *_*
Well done!

Obviously, the attention of a Landon is not enough for her. She also likes Cloud quite a bit, smootches with Sandra & I want to point out the “send to all” strip.
@ Stormwatch:
Not in the comic, but in reality, yes. As many of the germans for at least 3 generations now… Naturally these swedish and german groups are in peace with each other as the common religion is much more important and they are all European Union citizens anyway. The actual native swedish and german populations are also in good terms with each other, the germans went so far in ww2 to actually import most of the nazi racist theories from Sweden. On the other hand, these new european citizens and the old ones aren’t getting on well with each other, despite the only thing the natives would need to do to achive peace and integration to also bow to Mecca.
ps: Those rules about covering up women and not allowing them to go out without a male relative was not invented for religious reasons. They are designed to protect them from getting abducted, raped and/or killed. The sooner the european people realize this, the sooner they start to follow it and then all these attacks on women will end. This is the price of integration and one that would save many lives if followed.
@ Nickel:
Was this comic arc written before or after Sweden knocked the Germans out of the Women’s World Cup
@ guest:
Common religion never stopped anybody from killing each other over religious disputes. Most Christians begin killed because of following the “wrong” faith were killed by other Christians, most Moslems killed for being “infidels” were killed by other Moslems.
Even the IS killed way more Moslems than Christians or Jews.
More often than not, religion isn’t but a forefront for the real reason people go to war. Or do you think the Thirty Years’ War was about Catholics vs. Protestants?
I can honestly say I’m not surprised that modern Germans are incapable of defending themselves against swedes.
Despite swedes immediately falling to their knees and crying when you call them racist
I’m going to use that last image as a reaction picture for forms.
It perfectly calls out so many people I’ve seen.
@ clickbait:
Absolutely true. Religion often serves to reinforce group identity in wartime, but it’s rarely the primary cause of the conflict. Even the Crusades were motivated by political concerns at least as much as religion.
As for the unifying power of religion, any reading of history exposes that as a sick joke. As religions grow and spread, schism seems pretty much inevitable, with both sides quick to denounce the other as heretics and apostates.
@ Wizard:
Some years back I never would have dreamed that “Buddhist extremism” could be a real thing.
Sadly I was proven wrong. Yet another religion where some followers define “peace to all humans” by adding “that have the right beliefs”.
Profundity aside, I’d rather look at Latissa than fight… I’ve seen and nearly been in a few of those messes here, and being in my seventies and using a walker, I would fare poorly!
So, I’m guessing they’re fleeing from a “modernized” take on the Thirty Years’ War?
@ Queen Viviana:
Yeah, I see that vibe, except France became a superpower (also sided with Protestants despite being catholic and the king’s advisor being a Cardinal no less) instead of leaving it in shambles as stated in Sandra and Woo. Mostly it’s German States vs. German States with Swedes, French, Dutch, and Danes thrown in.

Screw that. They’re the ones that need to realize that not being covered from head to toe doesn’t mean she’s asking for it.
Beyond that, by requiring those things, they’re admitting they’re uncivilized animals that can’t control their urges and have no place in a modern society.
Think of it this way, guys. You just found something in common. Work from there.
@ demarion:
Also, shameless plug, check out the 1632verse and the Grantville Gazette, all about an alternate history in which a West Virginia coal-mining town moves in time and space to the middle of the Thirty Years’ War. To when what this story arc is describing.
Well, a cute 13yo Russian girl is always a perfect distraction.
@ Jeremiah:
When swedes are at war, they always have finns wiht them.
Sweden last war was 200 years ago, about same time they loose Finland.

You may not think so, but Larisa is quite faithful in her relationships.
The “Send to all” birthday pic was a goof, chaotic neutral Larisa couldn’t resist smooching Sandra before she smooched with Cloud.
@ Asrial:
I don’t think Larissa would count kissing random people “without feelings” as cheating. And Landon probably won’t either.
That aside … after she took Landon as her boyfriend was she ever shown kissing anybody else? Before him, sure. Many times, but mostly in the way Bugs Bunny would kiss an unexpecting victim.
Asrial wrote:
Yes, of course. But she is certainly attention seeking.

Replying mostly to upvote.
Also, though, to point out that there exists a museum of the clothing that women were wearing when raped, donated by those women to illustrate that dressing “modestly” is no protection.
Thirdly, to remind everyone that forced marriage is wrong and raping your 12-year-old niece doesn’t suddenly become morally and legally acceptable just because some dickhead in a long, black shirt muttered some old incantation in her general vicinity and you gave your brother a goat.
Fourthly, to state a policy position: if you try to use violence to force me to bow towards Mecca, I will try to use violence to force you to go and visit Father Dagon.
I shouldn’t have to say any of those things.
People shouldn’t have to be told that the fact a woman’s ankles were visible doesn’t mean she was asking for it, that a woman going to a nightclub doesn’t mean she was asking for it, that a woman going jogging doesn’t mean she was asking for it, that a ten-year-old girl wearing a pretty dress doesn’t mean she was asking for it, that even if a woman did go to a nightclub with the specific intention of finding a man and getting laid it doesn’t mean she wanted just ANY man to fuck her, that saying “Hello” is not consent, that having once had a drunken threesome doesn’t mean she automatically was consenting to sex with any “man” who wandered into the room where she’d had drunken sex with another man and found her unconscious body sexually arousing or any of the other things that, somehow, we actual people keep having to point out to our fellow human beings.
People shouldn’t have to be told that it’s not okay to tell someone she’s married whether she likes it or not, that 12 is too young to marry, that marrying your niece is fucked up or that being “married,” with or without everyone’s enthusiastic consent, doesn’t make anyone obliged to have sex with anyone else.
People shouldn’t need telling that sword-point conversions are insincere and abusive.
Somehow, there are hundreds of millions of humans on this planet who need telling these things.
Some of them consider dogs dirty, violent, lowly and untrustworthy beasts.
I’m not going to tell them they’re wrong about the dogs. Personally, I like dogs, but I’m not going to try to convince those humans that dogs are good. What I will say about the goodness of dogs, though, is that those humans don’t hold dogs in any lower esteem than I hold those humans who equate being pretty and having a life with asking to be raped.
If I wound a rat with a lousy shot, I go after it to finish it off and end its suffering. If I catch someone trying to tell my 12-year-old cousin she’s now his or his brother’s domestic slave and sex toy, I might just aim low on purpose.
Now for a response directly to the comic:
Is Larissa actually trying to distract them while someone else does something, here, or is she just taking the opportunity to flash her thighs at all those men?

Between this and the shipper story arc a small part of me wants to say that this is indicative of a decline or something but honestly this is getting pretty good.

If someone abducts children from another ethnic group and sells them on a slave market, he is a plain and simple racist. And if he calls western countries “apes and pigs”, talks about “French whores”, “German whores”, “white trash”, attacks women and children, it becomes completely obvious.
I am extremely disappointd by the left, that they try to hush up and divert attention from such prejudice and aggression. They always claim to be “antiracist”, but in truth, they are just anti-western.
Arent wrote:
You always claim the same stuff, without ever proving any of it. There are probably some people in other countries who call us names or call some of our women whores. You make it sound like that is the norm, like every single person in the middle east is after our throats.
Can you at least prove the stuff about abducting kids and selling them as slaves?
I can’t talk about other “lefties”, but personally, I’ve never been attacked or even just insulted by “ati-white racists”. I have been threatened by “nice normal guys”, just because I had a different hairstyle back then. And I’m anything but being “anti-western”.
For me living in a “western” society means to belief in traditional values like tolerance, equality and freedom. Values that might have become a bit unpopular recently.

Excuse me friend, but do you wear clothes? If you do, I find that extremely sexy. So sexy in fact that I will find you, have my way with you and leave you a whimpering wreck after I’m done.
To avoid this unfortunate fate, please use a burlap sack as the means to cover yourself, having it cover you from head to toe, and please keep it disfunctional to wear as to avoid confusing it to actual clothes.
In the event you decide to continue wearing clothes and I’m forced due to my completely uncontrollable urges to find you and have my way with you, please carry in your person enough money to compensate my trip to your location and other expenses that might occur during my lust-driven mission to find you. For surely you understand that I simply could not help myself and it is therefore you who have to take responsibility of my actions due to your continued perverted desire to wear clothes.
Thank you for your consideration. 😀
@ Arent:
As a leftie (well, y’know, extreme far left from a FOX point of view, centre-left from a European point of view, capitalist running-dog lackey from a Morning Star point of view, but whatever) I don’t care where the bastard was born, where he lives, what colour his skin is, what he wears, when or in what language or what direction he prays or whether he drives an imported car, nor where the girl in need of protection was born or what language she speaks or whether her hair’s covered or what her favourite MPL character is.
As far as I can tell, Dirty Harry wouldn’t give a damn either.
Over here are the liberal democrat socialist environmentalist who hand-feeds birds and the maverick cop with a Model 29 and a bad reputation who refutes accusations of police brutality by saying that the guy in hospital “looks too damn good” to have been beaten up by him. Do you disagree?
