This is an unusual comment I’m gonna make, unusual for me b/c I get phased by violent content and not dark humor

Comic made me a little uncomfortable maybe because it’s actually showing implied child abuse. If it’s just alluded to then it’s just your imagination and you don’t imagine it well enough way it’s painful, but they show it & it’s like “bro that guy’s a child rapist holy shit wtf”

Plus the lowest possible defense, 4chan-esque “akshually ephebophilia” “but in Japan…”, don’t even fly for Sherlock

Edit: also there’s no greater point as you’ve mentioned, like if he wore a Jared Subway mask… potential big change in vibe
