Problem with Ratboy here is this: Where the fuck does he spiral?

He's already living like he's the Muckman, spiraling would probably mean death

spiraling would probably mean death

truly nothing of value would be lost

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can see him going on a shooting spree

inside his house? this mfer wouldnt step outside even if his life depended on it

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can see that, yeah

Just turns his hoarder-shack into a death fortress and start going Texas clocktower

fair.

the mitigating factor in that case is that (i assume) he lives in suburbia so targets would be harder to come by

the more i think about this the more likely it is, truly the final "fuck you" of his putrid existence would be to shoot some poor bystanders before he kills himself

Which comic is this panel from?

[–] miz@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

best I could get from searching is that it's from a series called "Foolkiller", unknown issue

Ig it's time for me to dive in another rabbit hole which I'll forget about a month later.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

Most of the Foolkiller comics aren't that good

Just another vigilante following on the heels of The Punisher's success

His only real difference from Punisher is that Foolkiller also goes after political targets, which being written by the Marvel bullpen of the 80's means a lot of jabs against Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton

Which, as we all know, means nothing and the Marvel writers are certainly not racist

I endorse this message

All of his streaming is a coping strategy for personal problems that made him live the way he does. It is his only outlet and he completely buries himself in it because he has nothing else.

I doubt it would mean death, he'd just go back to anonymous guild content like he had before.
