    "Bullshit"? Dissociative Identity Disorder doesn't work like it's commonly shown in fiction (what does?), but it is a real affliction.

    It's a real condition, but the idea that it involves multiple, separate personalities is highly contested and quite possibly false

    The current DSM (the big manual of all recognized psychiatric conditions) states that it does, but the DSM is far from perfect and can take a while to catch up to the science

    for instance, the DSM only ceased to classify being trans as a mental illness with the most recent edition

    I get the impression that as someone who doesn't read comic books there are about to be a lot of jokes I'm not really gonna get.

    Shove your head up your ass and you'll have the perspective of 90's marvel and DC.

    Yeah, but that's not what's happening with Amazigirl/Amber (and if it was, Danny is still enabling). To be fair to Willis, he's playing with superhero tropes (eg, Batman/Bruce Wayne, who is he really under the cowl??) and it's not his fault that I happen to hate those tropes.

    (Also, Bruce/Batman debates annoy the heck out of me. Or worse, Clark/Kal-El/Superman debates.)

    I have spent... so much time working on this

    Rewriting some of the text, picture editing, sound editing, video editing, voice directing the 5 other voice acting-y people involved...

    I first started this chapter in fucking October.

    But I'm extremely happy with how it's turned out, so I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

    Took me a while to realise that the reveal wasn't that she'd made her own disposable shoes, which would be in context with the leading panels, but was actually that she'd made herself taller. Something that I don't think has ever been mentioned she's concerned about?

    NO you were right the first time. Her being taller is just how sarah notices.

    It's more a question of personal identity and compartmentalization, I feel.

    Wait how was Bruce/Batman and Clark/Superman ever a discussion?

    Bruce is Batman wearing a Bruce Wayne skin and Clark is Clark Kent, all around good guy who happens to be Superman.

    I get it. The common misconception is that Batman has to be grim. Just because a tragedy defines him, doesn't mean he has to be a grimdark asshole. The best stories find that balance.

    To bring this back to webcomics, unlike say, Amazigirl who needs some serious mental help.

    " Adjectiveionaire Playboy Bruce" is a Character. Bruce Wayne is Batman. That should never be an issue IMO because he's not mentally ill in anyway. Ifhe were aressted for being a vigilant

    Amazigirl is a best a defense mechanism allowing a really sick girl to have a defense for her actions

    I think people misunderstand why they have secret IDs.

    For Bruce its to create a dissonance between his real self and his public self. Drunk off his ass letch Bruce Wayne could never be Batman.

    For Clark it allows him to feel normal and relate to people. Thats why hes a reporter ,he works in a wholly subjective field where his powers mean squat and where a ginger and a sassy woman are arguably superior to him

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    Once more, it’s “Overwatch Comics”. We think Author-san must be playing it frequently as well~. Oi! Resume work on “Comics.” Mou.
    Tonikaku, this feeling is… this feeling is well known. It’s time to end “Event” and we don’t have the wanted “Gachas.” Let’s talk sadly together about “Gacha Luck.”
    It’s “Judgement.”
