It's so insanely baffling to me, that Lucy would have a right to be pissed over Mike kissing her in EF just to ditch her for Sandy the next day even though that was pants-on-head retarded... but instead she's thinking about one from years prior???
I swear Taeshi is trying to slowly retcon EF, which isn't a bad move but it's just making everyone look even more insane.

>>150738300
The problem is not her "right to be pissed", is that she is a complete psycho that is bullying Mike with help of his new friend, which makes her the villain
What's completely mental illness is that Taeshi is tried to imply through the story is that Mike is in the wrong, Lucy is in the right, that he is getting what he deserve and that the current bullying situation is deserved, which is not

After the kiss Mike tried to talk to Lucy, she didn't want to so he avoided her and made new friends.
The current situation is pure and simple abuse and bullying, which makes Mike right, except that Taeshi is telling you that he is not in the right

Imagine the abuse and gaslighting Suitcase has to put up with holy shit

Because Taeshi is an abusive and manipulative person as well, so of course she's try to paint Lucy as the one in the right. This whole comic is about justifying the abuse and manipulation of boys.

The real insidious thing about this webcomic is its poisoning the young minds of the core fanbase.

It's easy for us oldfags to see how mentally broken Taeshi is and point and laugh, but the damage she's doing to impressionable early teens is a real problem. Think of how many young girls look at Taeshi and her characters and think that it's acceptable to behave like that.. Imagine how many Lucy's are being cultivated each year.

This woman is a cultural terrorist.

>Lucy: resorts to violence at the drop of a hat, mean-spirited, will hold a grudge forever over things that didn't even happen, manipulative gaslighter, incredibly sexist, resents and disdains literally everyone she knows, attempted rapist (twice!), only apologizes when forced to in order to get people off her case
>Mike: will do literally anything for anyone if they ask nicely, shorter standing up than he is sitting down, attention-seeking, flirts while already in a relationship, stupid and naive both socially and practically, sexually null, makes every conversation about himself, when triggered says what will hurt most then takes months to calm down and apologize

Why are these two treated like such prizes again? Is it JUST that they're supposedly hot/cute in general? Is that why the only friends they can get and keep are shallow fairweather types?

>>150738401
Her core audience IS oldfags. There are certainly younger fans but the majority are older. Thing is, its not like you get bpd from reading a comic. Everyone i've ever known with bpd (abnormally large sample size here) has been through some sort abuse, whether its from a parent, relationship, or sexual abuse, often multiple. If you aren't susceptible to bpd, bcb wont change that, and if you are, there's a lot more than this comic influencing that

>>150739271
Oh 100%. If David was married to Paulo I'd see Paulo hesitating to let him be the house caretaker out of fear that he'll do something to hurt their kid. He threw a kid who isn't even his off a roof.
>>150739309
I don't know if we have a lot of fanmade David kids but the ones by B.S "Scrunchmew" and E.B "Agentchimendez" are nice. He'd also 100% do something like that, getting drunk and trash talking his own kid, be it playfully or seriously. As funny as David is I wouldn't trust him around kids, but the alternative to letting him watch one (if you're the spouse) is making him work. God knows what workplace accidents he'd cause. He could be trained to do housework more effectively though, but I'd imagine him doing something physical like construction or moving.

IIRC there is even a disclaimer in the chapter where they highlight physical and sexual violence when absolutely nothing happens lmao

>>150740237
Really though why does she try to off herself after this?
Feels so random and I can only guess that it's because she feels that after being offered stardom, she is just a replacement of Sandy

I think the one actual thing that aggravates me is that as soon as you see the Goldie story and the parallel (which is far too obvious in this page) you realize that she fully intends for Mucy to end up together.
Yes, even after all the burned bridges her psycho mind will still force them to date

>>150740272
She tries to an hero because while leaving to live somewhere else was bearable if everyone hated her and Mike wanted nothing to do with her, now she felt like she actually had something to lose (maintaining a good relationship with Mike, who is her one obsession and the only person she's ever actually emotionally bonded with)

>>150740344
I don't believe that, because she was scouting out buildings BEFORE Mike apologized and she started getting along with her friends again, and she went into the play being extra nice to everyone.

The only thing that makes sense is that she was trying to have a sort of swan song - one good day before offing herself.

So how did people make the connection that the comic is about Tae and Suitcase's relationship?

Does this fall apart with the letters, Mike having a phone, and 2008 Skype/voice communication? The reason they considered moving was cause Lucy was degrading, she might have been able to convince her parents to let her at least stay till graduation.

>>150740237

>>150740344
Forever I will bang the drum that the blame for Lucy's suicide attempt can be distributed to several parties, Lucy and her family included, and it's fucked up that the comic is complicit in placing all the responsibility on Mike for Lucy deciding to make him the single load-bearing support pillar of her sanity.

>>150740385
The thing is, she specifically thinks about how she can't have that talk with Mike because of her transfer while she's on the way to jump. I think it's most likely that she was on the fence before Mike's apology.

>>150740336
Lucy, aside, I don't like the implications for Mike's arc. Despite the comic saying over and over that he needs to find a healthy way to stand up for himself, he's just not allowed to assert himself when Lucy is involved. He's going to be a spineless mess forever if he's stuck with her.

>>150740463
I'm still not sure why he didn't tell her at that moment. It would've been the perfect time to do it

>>150740463
No, he would not.

>>150740385
She was suicidal but she probably hadn't 100% committed to doing it, but was in a state where just about anything could push her over the edge

>>150740463
He would have said no but less angry, he might have agreed to get Daisy off his back and gave Abbey a very insincere and mocking apology later

>>150740385
That was ideation, the final straw is 'oh, so I COULD salvage things with Mike, and we could be happy together again, but now I have to leave forever' that turns thought to action.

>>150740237
Since Mike is a guy he has no sympathy for his abuse from the more double-standard cult of Veronica's fandom. If he were the abuser he'd be branded as irredeemably villainous with Lucy being rightfully pissed during December.

>Mike doesn't cease contact with Sandy and eventually gets together with her
This is leading Lucy on how? By still being her friend?

Even when the comic is taking place (2007/2008) matches up to them being the same age in 2002 as Suitcase/Taeshi/Goldie when they sent the "letters"

It would still be juvenile but it would work better if Mike and Lucy DID date and have a middle school relationship, but Mike was still sending and receiving affectionate letters with Sandy without realizing he shouldn't be doing that. That would be an understandable thing to be mad about at least. But she couldn't even do that because that's not what happened with Goldie. You're not allowed to speak to other girls if Lucy likes you, even if she won't actually date you

>>150740912

Lucy is a bad friend and or potential girlfriend. You actually can't do anything perfect since she will never tell you what she wants and wants you or someone else to do it for her.

I'm starting to think she either wanted 12-year-old Mike to rape her or for everyone to hold Mike down when they found out about Sandy and force her to rape him. Just so she can say she didn't want it.

Far more complicated than that, I fear. On some level, I believe they love us quite a lot, for many is the discordant mind that yearns to be seen for the shattered mess that it is, and we are unafraid to call out the festering madness they have allowed to overtake their lives and infect their once enjoyable webcomic. On the other hand, they despise that they have no control over us, to stop us from saying the things that make them feel bad that they secretly yearn for. That's why, in addition to knowing when a new spoileranon has risen so they might strike him down, they browse these threads and read what we say.

>I think it's most likely that she was on the fence before Mike's apology.
That's possible, but wouldn't explain her pity-fucking Paulo and congratulating Sue on how good the play is prior to Mike's apology. The kindness Lucy showed that night was uncharacteristic, and I think the best explanation is her wanting to go out on a high note.

>>150741297
Sue is insufferable in the cute, opinionated way, whereas Lucy is insufferable in the insane, moodswing way.

You know, Taeshi's younger, saner, but no less "traumatized" self would have tried to the question "would Suitcase have left me if Goldie stayed around" with "yes because I'd have improved myself and fought for him." But I guess modern Taeshi wants to believe she'd have girlbossed him into submission instead, and was already fully grown up the entire time.

It could happen

>>150740939
Lucy is fucking insane and if the chapter doesn't end with someone else telling her as much, this will be Taeshi coming out of the BPD retard closet. There will be no hiding that she fully believes this shit, without a single critical thought in that empty skull of hers. Augustus should be absolutely stunned and appalled to find out the girl he's been white knighting for all this time only cares about something that happened when she and Mike were like ten years old. He might be koolaid drinking jackass, but at least Augustus has his priorities straight within that context.

>>150741277
I now wish to see their relationship degrade to such a point, purely because it's become clear that Lucy does not deserve to have nice things.

I have zero faith Lucy gets any comeuppance. Mike will probably attempt suicide and he'll still be the bad guy.

At this point the best ending for Mike is for him to move away to a different town.

>>150737172
Honestly this whole "Augustus starts shit on my behalf so I don't get my hands dirty" thing really worked out for Lucy! Imagine how awkward it'd be to get on her favorite topic of Sandymalding when Mike isn't talking to her anymore.
>>150742829
If Taeshi has any taste Paulo's going to throw all this talk about leading people on back in her face: she has like zero shame about leading him on, she was just afraid he'd be angry with her.

>>150742858
I remember her saying it causes her too much "anxiety" so Suitcase moderates it for her, but people don't like him. Even friends of theirs don't like him.

Now that would be something. Imagine if both Mike and Lucy's predictions proved to be faulty: The table splits over them and, while most would expect Paulo to side with Lucy (including Worst Cat herself), he's finally done with that shit and sticks with Mike instead. Leaving Lucy stuck with just Sue, a gay kid she barely knows, and Retard Meme Dog.

Color me utterly shocked. I'd imagine he can rein it in face-to-face, but anyone who interacts with Suitcase online will find him insufferable.

>>150741312
>>150742817
Yeah, but then Sue's cursemark would start acting up. In canon it snapped her leg like a twig just for daring to try and make her friend acknowledge her - if Sue won Mike's affection, her life would quickly become a final destination movie. Mike's super-reflexes and Amaya's ability to appear wherever and whenever would both be needed to constantly swoop Sue out of the way of runaway trucks, falling branches, etc.

>>150742817
I imagine that in this universe, Mike would also retain his spine and not devolve into a useless sad sack that drags Sue down.

>>150742879
In my experience, people who are moving, even as kids who don't WANT to move, don't generally try to do a bunch of favors for their friends. Wanting to "go out on a high note" is very much a sign of suicidal ideation or intention - guides for helping suicide risks even explicitly mention a "notable uptick in apparent energy, mood, or friendliness" as a major warning sign.

>>150743156

Mike would have to keep himself fit and strong to save her, which would do wonders for him, and Sue might have to accept she is clumsy and work towards it if told by someone who isn't trying to rile her up
>>150743145
The two main components of Mike's surgical extraction of spine are Paulo beating the phobia of cheating/abuse into him and Lucy jumping from the roof. By making him and Sue a thing you avoid the first one by giving Paulo a better target than Mike since he LOVED bothering Sue and would focus all his energy on her, and Sue would have more Lucyspace resistance to keep Mike from exploding or Lucy from hounding her man

That's the best part, they cover each other kinda well, Mike can keep Paulo off her tail because his spine grows when it comes to others, and she can keep Lucy at bay because unlike Daisy Sue has nothing Lucy can verbally abuse into compliance without coming off as hostile, neither has to he lovey dovey to spend time together and Amaya is a plus. They don't even have to end up together, if her relationship with McCain is any indication she will break things up amicably and they can go their different ways

What you describe is only one facet of his character. Unlike Lucy, Paulo can show genuine care, apologize like he means it and be a good friend. The problem is that he always reverts back into his jerk-persona and never actually grows.

Ackchually there's precedent for that, all they have to do is have Amaya tape some tender moments between you and Sue while she narrates the story between you both and explains the nature of the curse, and ends with Sue saying she can't wait to have her first date with you again

Suitcase does because he's lazy and privileged with few real issues to foil it against, Taeshi doesn't but has tricked herself into thinking she does, in reality it's just a method of guilt tripping Suitcase so he never leaves her though she's likely not aware of this.
Extremely traumatized people tend to turn extremely manipulative, just watch my 600 pound life that shit happens constantly there.

>>150738278
>That section about Suitcase going "slobbering back" to Goldie when he tried to break it off and she got cold, distant, and passive aggressive in response.
I now understand Eternal Flame, Suitcase wanted the convo with Sandy removed because he knew this was just Taeshi writing this moment in, and this is also why Mike is pathetic and keeps crawling back to people that he supposedly doesn't want to be with.
IT ALL JUST CLICKS THE SECOND YOU GET WHAT KIND OF INSANE THESE PEOPLE ARE.

>>150746552
Alternatively, Taeshi thought it would be really cool to steal that moment for her own fursona so Lucy could step on Mike's balls.

>>150746552
Oh, so it's like Veronica's upset with Oliver for crawling back to. Wow. I want to give a benefit of doubt and say they're just using their real experiences as inspiration to add emotional depth to their characters.

>>150746985
Bat to the head

>>150737172

Alright look, I'll just say how I feel about this whole thing.

I think Mike is a little shit, or at least he was turned into one. Lucy is right in this case, saying that Mike was stringing her on as well. What he did on Eternal Flame was awful, crying pathetically to get Lucy's sympathy, then kissing her and giving the idea that he wanted to be with her, only to magically change his mind on the very next day. Unthinkable, very unrealistic, and for no reason at all, considering he had all the evidence being with Sandy at that point was a terrible idea.
He is also, at the same time, a spastic maniacal gremlin and a spineless pathetic worm. What makes it sad is that HE WASN'T always like this, he was a standard protag, magically and tragically turned into shit by the plot.

Lucy was meant to be a tsundere. Her bonks and slaps and whatnot are a bit grating at times, but they were supposed to not be taken seriously. That being said, over the years her behavior became more and more erratic, bossy and mean, towards everyone in general. Also, her whole suicide thing was completely irrational, and, while Mike was shitty towards her, they talked it out, and I feel like her actions were unwarranted; Ever since she has been mostly completely awful.

In short, they both suck. Paulo and Daisy suck as well.

>>150747751
Damn, that's an awful example if true. I think only EF was a blatant example of him leading her on.

>>150747836
It looks like Lucy does not actually care about EF, to the point that I suspect Taeshi did not mean to portray Mike as accidentally insensitive or using Lucy. But maybe that's because she too thinks the ancient sin of, uh, writing another female friend letters is what really matters.

>>150747836
That's why everyone is tired of this bullshit. Oh Lucy must be upset about Eternal flame! Nope, it's about Sandy. Oh then she's upset about the suicide attempt and blaming Mike? Nope, we don't talk about that unless it's to make fun of Mike. What about December? Augustus brought December up, she might still not get over it? NOPE! She's upset Mike paid attention to someone else instead of cutting her off cold turkey and pursuing Lucy, let's just ignore that Mike gave her ample time and chances to have something with him and she kept pushing him aside
Anyway, by the time this one is solved and Mike apologizes for not doing himself a lobotomy to forget about Sandy and only focusing on Lucy it won't be about that anymore but because it's Mike's fault she could never get friends as a toddler or something

>>150747751

And you know what's great? NOTHING of this has to do with her nightmares. Nothing! Her PTSD isn't even related to him as far as we know, she's just bringing up old receipts because the narrative needs to keep her a victim but the one thing Augustus set to punish Mike for isn't even related to it

>>150747998
>one thing Augustus set to punish Mike for isn't even related to it
Because Lucy's suicide has never mattered. It only matters to Mike. If you cut Lucy's suicide the only thing that changes in universe is that yu would ened to change when or why Lucy was hospitalized. hell, the only real narrative change is that Mike would not have any reason to feel that guilty when near Lucy.

>>150747947
If this was a sane comic, Mike would finally internalize the fact that much of the guilt he's shouldered, along with the mistreatment he's endured from Lucy and others, sprang from nothing more reasonable than Worst Cat's own delusional insecurities. He would at long last snap at her and go full Hurricane Neddy on everyone present. Augustus is a manipulative would-be rapist, David is a sociopath, and James only gives a fuck about the chance to fuck. That ego bruising should be enough to drive gay cat away.

But what will likely happen is Lucyspace goes maximum density, causing James to believe that Lucy's insanity is perfectly reasonable. That, or she relates what happens in the most one-sided, gray cat-demonizing way possible and Mike is not allowed to defend himself. Again.

To be frank, its not at all rare to see psychotic and obsessive hate on here for taeshi and suitcase, and the people from here that i see in the server tend to be annoyingly contrarian and take pleasure in seeing themselves as better than the other members of the server.

There's clearly quite a few people from here in the server that are respectful and have no problem, hell theres even some stinkers from here that still don't get banned because they don't take it too far.

Not that anon.
BPD is a mental illness normally caused by some kind of past trauma and not so much something you're born with. Part of why it's so hard to treat is because (You), not anyone else, have to be proactively aware of your poor coping mechanisms and adjustaccordingly. Which is hard, because you have to find a way to let go of the pain without the expectation of catharsis. Which I imagine is like walking on egg shells around your own self with no breaks.

I'm willing to give the lobotomy a chance if it comes from James watching and reading too much dramas and novels that they warp his sense when a very similar situation arises, like "usually the girl is in the right" kinda bullshit

>>150748308
Someone else would need to treat James' conclusions as stupid and bad, though. The only other person who could plausibly do so, given how Mike's stuck deep in the guilt pit every other page, is Augustus. Weaselish toady that he might be, even Gus should recognize how nutty Lucy's perspective is.

I mean is EF a total leading her on thing? Sandy had just cheated on him and it looked like it was over. Remember, Lucy was the one who told Mike to take a step back and wait / review first and then got mad when she thought her sure thing didnt pan out. Not to say Mike going back to Sandy wasnt monumentally retarded, but Lucy once again didnt lock him down when she had the chance, allowing him to be guild tripped back to Sandy

>>150748352
The better question is, will the Toady care that Lucy does not care about her own suicide attempt and is instead focusing on a kiss from years ago as the basis for why she is upset?

The BCI about not taking Sandy back shows the only thing that mattered to Lucy is that they could go back to status quo, with her insisting so much about not wanting any relationship that it felt like she was trying to get Mike to push her about it, she went straight to her tsundere bullshit. She didn't even let Mike explain what happened because it didn't matter of he had a good reason or not or if he was forced if Sandy did something like threaten her own life, it was not her idealized situation and that was enough to break and cry. Lucy wants the path of least resistance where nothing changed and no one asks of her

>>150744436
God damn that's good stuff.

>>150748378
These days, Eternal Flame is looking like a real good example of Taeshi refusing to keep Lucy on the hook for anything she does. The comic has only held Mike accountable for EF once, via Augustus, and promptly accepted gray cat's explanation even while the readers did not. Augustus only cares about Lucy's reaction toward Mike while white cat herself does not give a fuck about anything other than the most ancient of dramas. I have to conclude that EF is not meant to be held against Mike. So it's very, very strange that Taeshi had Mike randomly go all seductive bedroom eyes with the scarf line and totally forget about Lucy come next morning. Both were tremendously out of character for him and fairly indefensible in-universe, despite the comic's insistence.

Now consider what would have happened if Mike had just mentioned the scarf line to make Lucy feel better about herself. He very clearly recognized her insecurity over Sandy, what with the tree shit, and she had just helped him out despite everything, so of course gray cat would feel grateful. Imagine if Lucy had the same canonical reaction and kissed him, surprising them both, then launched into denial mode right after. Further imagine that Mike confronted her the next morning, apologetically trying to explain WHY he took Sandy back, only for Lucy to shut him down just like we saw in the comic. Everyone involved is acting very in-character--but uh oh, Lucy's looking kind of desperate and pathetic, huh? Can't have that. Better spread the blame around. Which of course worked out horribly and now Lucy is going to look absolutely batshit crazy for crying over spilled milk instead of the hazardous waste leaking into the water supply.

>>150748393
I figure he will because Taeshi is a huge fucking coward who will not allow Lucy to suffer any kind of real setback in life. Still, we don't see him at the table so who knows? It would be cathartic to watch Augustus find out what being Mike's replacement is really like--to be used and tossed aside as convenient.

>>150748504
I believe Taeshi bringing up such an old issue is desperation, she needs to punish Mike for something he can't defend himself against. Eternal Flame? Lucy initiated the kiss and they had finished in good terms. The jump? Her fault. December? It was harsh but she had it coming. But forcing a kiss on her? Dohoho, we can turn that into abuse and who knows, even a rape threat considering Augustus has been chastised for less, nevermind they were young and foolish and Paulo has been forgiven for worse, it's something she can use

I don't know about that. Mike never tried to manipulate Lucy. He was very up front about his feelings and intentions.

Knew a girl named Robin (Every girl I've ever known named Robin has been insane)
She wasn't even brought into my group directly, she was just a friend of a girlfriend of my friend and she latched onto our group and caused nothing but issues
I remember another one of my friends dating her and he would ignore her texts and hang out in the practice rooms in the band hall
Usually she'd sneak in without the band director seeing and hang out but one time she just stormed in to cry scream at him for ignoring her texts
Another time some retard was laughing at her for crying (could have been laughing while walking past her I could see both cases) and she slammed his head into a locker and clawed his face up
Thankfully she changed schools when we went into high school and I pretty much never heard of her again

>How do you feel about eugenics?
I'm Pro-Eugenics.
>Do you feel like people like you should exist?
No, however there's no undo on birth or the things that lead to developing a disorder and my quality of life isn't so bad that I'm better off in the great beyond.

>The trouble you caused others, and the constant trouble that is your life. Maybe things would be better if you never existed, if we weeded out those with such flawed genes.

The trouble I caused others was mostly deserved. It sounds selfish but I'm 100% on this. Violence is the supreme authority and anyone I've gone nuclear on deserved it. My problem isn't so much that I snapped at people for no reason, it was that I couldn't control myself once the switch flipped. Meditation used to help a lot until it didn't. A sweet old lady that lived next to my grandma used to take me after school 3 days a week and it really did wonders for controlling my temper, exploring my triggers, developing healthy coping mechanisms etc. It just took really fucked up day to bring it all crashing down and send me into a self-destructive spiral. That's when the quacks and pills got involved.

My problem genetic either. It's behavioural. My early childhood screwed me up and I was just never able to escape it.

Have you ever just let it all go? Allowed yourself to act on pure fury? It's as satisfying and exhilarating. I don't regret stabbing that kid in the eye with a fork or breaking his leg. That tubby little bastard bullied me for 8 years straight. If anything, I should have shattered his kneecaps. There's no room in this world for bullies.

Not much, my friend group was pretty chill, they just talked about movies, animes, bands, games or school stuff, which occasionally involved love interests and whatnot, but not nearly as much as this comic.

Everyone in BCB's main table group seems to be at odds with each other, ready to jump and attack or throw each other under the bus at a heartbeat.
The gay table is also dramatic.

>>150748850
Taeshi's idea of normal is both informative and very very sad.

>>150747754
As long as you're working on being a good person don't beat yourself up too much. We all have regrets. It sucks now, but you'll find someone eventually if you put yourself out there.

I'm torn on this. On one hand, am not a fan of unironic incel Mike. But on the other, saying whatever he thinks will get under Lucy's skin holds an appeal.

>>150747754
Should you go off your meds do you think being with someone with a calm and soothing personality would mitigate some of the violent tendencies, or would you attck regardless based on whatever went on in your head that day? I'm trying to understand what exactly leads to the violence.

I thought of it as ironic rather than unironic. This isn't how he sees it, but it's how he knows Lucy and the comic will treat him, so he's going to show them all what it really looks like.

I just want to point out how absolutely hilarious this is on a meta level.

Taeshi's Goldiemalding began with the question "would Suitcase have stuck with me if Goldie never vanished into the void?" BCB became her way of exploring that scenario. And the answer she has settled upon, after a decade or two of faffing about, is this insipid BPD-driven power fantasy in which Taeshi's self-insert fursona girlbosses her Suitcase voodoo doll into regretting how deeply he wronged her so long ago on a Sonic forum--I mean, by exchanging letters with another girl. Goldie's effigy is a stupid shallow manipulator who only drags him down whereas Lucy is this poor put-upon eternal victim who no one understands but is randomly compassionate and insightful.

With all this Disco Elysium talk what do you think Mike's stat sheet looks like? He has to have high Motorics and Physique for all that he can do, next comes a normal Intellect stat, and a very small Psyche stat. His poor volition.

Mike's also definitely been minmaxed, his pain threshold has to be insane for all he puts up with. Same goes for Perception.

Mike also wouldn't have the skills Savior Faire or Esprit De Corps, but that's because he's not Harry.

One of my best friends was a girl who was an absolute drama machine and would constantly make new friends, get into fights with them, and completely cut them out from her life. I did not aid the situation, as she had a massive crush on me and talked me up to every one of her friends, so I ended up sleeping with more than a few of them. Other than that, nah, my friend group was pretty stable and chill.
