There's been some wanking going on over at Shortpacked! recently. The most recent storyline has had Amber, one of the two main female characters in the strip, talked into going around in her underwear so she'll be so "intimidatingly hot" that one of her coworkers will stop hitting on her. This doesn't work.

The day of that strip, in its newspost on the Shortpacked lj community, an anonymous comes in and asks the strip's creator "Plz plz plz, Willis, don't ruin Amber with [premarital hanky panky] like you trashed Joyce n' Walky. Show some love to us prudes you used to be a friend to. :("

People don't respond well to the idea that characters not staying virgins until marriage makes their relationship trash, but it blows over fairly quickly.

But then, in the next day's new post, Willis brings it up again:

"Don't try to tell me that Joyce is "trashed" because someone put something in her hole down there. You're not going to win me over. You can tell me she may have made the wrong decision for all sorts of rational reasons, but do not try to tell me that she is a worthless human being now. It makes me sick. If the state of a girl's hymen determines how much you care about her, like the flip of a switch, you've got a way worse problems on your hands than whether you slept with somebody or not."

Things are peaceful for awhile, people either agreeing with that section of the post or ignoring it, but then the anonymous comes back. And gets wordy.

Highlights include the mouse equating being a prude in this day and age with either being a German Jew in 1945 or being someone accused of witchcraft during the Salem trials, Willis being "as much a caricature as your strip" because he doesn't just let bygones be bygones about the "trashed" comment after the mouse said it was just hyperbole, and a bunch of people getting pissed off at the mouse trying to make themself out as a victim.
