Crapsack World/Web Comics: Difference between revisions

** [[Word of God]] also said that if any faction wins, the villains win.

*** {{spoiler|[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2010/03/20/episode-1224-a-legend-is-born/ And so they have.]}}

* The ''Oceans Unmoving'' sci-fi storyline of ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' featured a universe so bleak that individuals on their own could hardly survive. Not to mention that the leader of the pirates is Bun-Bun the rabbit, a sadistic psychopathic knife-wielding [[Villain Protagonist]] and [[Jerkass]]. Any world where Bun-Bun thrives must be a sad desolate hate-filled place.

** If you think that's bad, there's 4U City. A dystopia founded by Hereti Corp in an alternate universe, where people are constantly drugged to keep them happy, and anyone deemed even slightly threatening to the order, is "judged" (i.e. sent to a pocket dimension). But wait, there's more! The person responsible for all this turns out to be {{spoiler|Doctor Shlock AND Riff}}, who used an AI to run the city and periodically push a [[Reset Button]], while they {{spoiler|work on repairing the fabric of reality that was damaged in a destructive war}}. But that's still not all. The AI is going rogue and threatens to take over the entire city with machines. The AI also happens to be running the city's defences - should it be disabled, the whole place is overrun by a huge army of mutants gathering outside the city walls. {{spoiler|It's a surprise Riff prime managed to fix everything single-handed}}.
