Line 52:
** And Butterfly doesn't, to our knowledge, have an involuntary captive bound and lying in a padded room, one eye apparently swollen shut, and a victim of electrical torture. ''Spy'' or not.
*** Not to mention that if her merely using a spy was enough to call off the bet and get Butterfly in serious trouble, Michelle's keeping the spy captive for weeks and risking her beloved Laura becoming Butterfly's property was done purely out of arrogance and curiosity...which Michelle basically admits in the 2010-07-05 comic.
** And this is all barring the fact that as this is [[Fetish Fuel|primarily a bondage fetish comic]] where you can take liberties with the characters and consent that you normally can't in real life or even roleplay, why do we care who's under who's thumb? It's enough that [[Reverie Planetarian|This Troper]], who liked the comic previously for being a BDSM romance comic with pretty funny gags and lots of fantastic toys and devices is going through...no idea what to call it. [[Darkness -Induced Audience Apathy|Fetish Induced Reader Apathy?]]
* Am I the only one who finds the whole "dominant energy" magic crap to be a massive Jumping of the Shark? It wasn't, as far as I remember, foreshadowed or hinted at up until it was used. Like a [[Deus Ex Machina]], but not really saving anything.
** I think that's known as an [[Ass Pull]]. And no, you're not. It came entirely out of nowhere.
Line 98:
* What, exactly, was the point of "Owned"? Nothing really happened, and we didn't learn anything about he universe...
** Word of god: no real point. Just an interlude between the actual story. Drawing something else before getting burnt out on the actual story.
* Why is it that only two males ever shown in the proper webcomic are not idiots, crude and disgusting voyeurs, polygamous misogynous assholes with god complexes, or some combination of the three? And of those two, only one had a speaking part? If the author is a man, why is he so hell-bent on making his own sex look like the scum of the earth? There's making it a BDSM [[Lady Land]] [[Improbably -Female Cast]], and then there's actively disparaging half of the world's population at almost every opportunity. Seriously, if you're going to put in disgusting-bordering-on-bastard men, put in a lot more normal ones please, so the readers know that, in your fantasy world, men are not predominantly assholes.
** Also the whole "guns are barbaric, we outlawed them a century ago!" thing, coupled with Wolf immediately [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|denying that he has any political opinion on guns]]....
*** Or, you can predict that people will probably respond negatively to something that happens in your comic and issue a "just so you know" to prevent gigantic forum-discussion on the issue. And yeah, that requires being pretty quick about it and precise too...
