(I didn't disagree with the concept, or even the sad result – that's totally up to the artist – but rather with how it was pulled off.) Just because I may not like the comic, it doesn't mean I can't respect the artist for it. It's why I stayed for the whole comic, despite feeling like it may have needed some extra work. "I respect Borba for going through with this. That said, I want to repost something I posted in the discussion on DeviantArt: I've previously given a thorough critique on it regarding where I think it needs improvement. I'm glad that possibility seems to have been embraced by ZNN, to be honest.ĭid I like the comic? No.
Wow! I'm impressed that ZNN featured this! Not that it doesn't deserve the feature, but this comic has had the tendency to make people quite vehement in their opinions. Don’t piss on Nick(or any man in real life) for dipping out of this scenario because their partner decided to do the unthinkable to him and take their growing child from them both.
It’s not fair, for one, that she has all the power here and then expects him to stay and support her, when she is directly going against his wishes and destroying him, mentally and emotionally, knowing full well how much it hurt him.
But to say that he is in the wrong for leaving her when she won’t even entertain the idea of letting the baby live, is stupid and utterly ridiculous. It was a 2-way street here, and they are both to blame, and both equally entitled to their actions. Men aren’t punching bags for women, which is basically what is being said here. It means that we are human beings that have the same emotions that you do, and when you do something like this to us, we are going to react in a way you won’t like. And it doesn’t make us(being men) bad people, or any less of a man. Well guess what, ladies: we don’t have to. Women always thinking that the man has no say on the matter and expect him to just accept it and support it. This is a real life scenario that absolutely bugs the dog-piss out of me. He has every right to be upset with her and leave her for literally taking the one thing away from BOTH of them that would have changed both their lives, for better or for worse, without even talking about it with him. He is a man that has his heart broken because of her(which was HER CHOICE) which she still had every right to do(because, even though he is the father to that baby, he physically cannot make the call on what happens to it since he has no control over the situation other than mentally). You people astonish me with how ridiculous you are. But what about his feelings? Are you people trying to say that a man that wants his baby shouldn’t have even any opinion or emotion about what happens to it, and should just accept it and support the mother? No, screw that. Tell me, why should he stay with her? Sure, it’s her body, and that living organism growing inside of her is scary to her. You implying that he(being Nick) is in the wrong for leaving her(being Judy) for wanting to abort their baby, is utterly the most ridiculous sentiment I’ve ever heard or read. It's a basic that everyone learned in school.Īlright, I’ve had about enough of this. You need to open your eyes and double check your answers. If he didn't care about her concerns, I'm pretty sure that Judy wouldn't have told him.Nick even asked why she didn't do it behind his back. Third of all, You think that Nick didn't care about her concerns. He gave her a choice, she could keep the baby and stay with Nick with a chance at losing her job or She could abort the baby, keep her job, but lose Nick that could be forever. Second, who the hell said that he is controlling what she can do with her body? I didn't see Nick force her to have the baby. She didn't want the baby because she THOUGHT it would be too big. She is willing to give up her baby for her job. You say that Nick thinks that Judy is so selfish for not wanting the baby. If the "cost" is having to say goodbye to someone who completely ignores your concerns and thinks you're a bad/selfish person for not wanting a kid and thinks he can dictate what you do with your own body, then that cost is acceptable." First of all, why the fuck would you say that Nick's an asshole for calling her a sinner. Kenni Rayne… Are you serious? "Not having to bleed to death from giving birth to a baby that's too big for her IS worth losing an ahole BF who will judge her and call her a sinner for it.
