I first saw this comic 12 years ago when I was 12. I was obese and had gynocomastia. At the time I didnt know but I learned recently that I had a severe hormonal/metabolic disorder including dangerously low testosterone that made me that way that could only be treated/fixed via hormone therapies by an endocrinologist.
I actually did wake up and run before school everyday and ate minimally but this comic made be believe otherwise and it negatively affected my self-esteem and how I saw myself. It made me think I was a lazy piece of crap and everyone better looking than me was a better more reasonable person (false)
But I could not be the idiot presented in the comic so I had to make myself believe that I wasnt putting in any effort to better myself.
This comic put me through a lot of unnecessary mental torment as according to this comic genetics can never be a factor that contribute to the appearance of the less fortunate and anyone who argues otherwise is lazy and stupid.
Anyway, as soon I a started to get medically treated by a doctor for my disorder I instantly started dropping weight and was able to build muscle despite exercising and eating the same exact way as I had always had. To say this experience challenged my preconceptions is an understatement, it rocked me to my core. And now knowing this truth I look at this comic as an artifact of my past as a piece of media, a piece of propaganda that had a significant negative impact on my life.

People making comics online are not medical doctors
This.
Eating fricking toast and coffee is a terrible option for breakfast. Sleep depriving yourself is going to be an awful option for your health. And as you noted, medical issues can complicate things further. While the bacon-eggs-sausage breakfast isn't a good idea either, just getting enough sleep so that you can get through the day without medicating yourself on caffeine all the time.
There's a difference between establishing some healthy habits (daily light exercise, sleep, good meals) and being told that the only reason you aren't trim and fit is because you don't job at 5AM every day. A lot of people making media don't know that, and just go with the popular sentiment which is that fat = lazy. Not really sure how visiting a doctor about the situation works best, but a lot of americans seem to always be focused on one extreme or another.
>trusting a spic
you really only have yourself to blame
This is why you should have to be 18 to access the internet.
i used to be against this but now that u, older and i think about all the horrible shit i was up to maybe yeah
Yeah, of course the comic isn't about people with rare genetic disorders.
Gynecomastia isn't rare
Neither is this thread, he's reposting it yet again.
stale pasta
>Draw the perfect rapebait girls
>They do not get raped
Why. How do you frick up this bad.

If you hadn't been eating right and exercising, you would not have lost the weight even with medical treatment.
This. Also, consider that while you might not have gotten the results you wanted your situation would have been MUCH WORSE if you had not been doing the diet and exercise as well. If that was already your condition with diet and exercise, no exercise and poor diet would have been a disaster for you.
the last panel is my fetish
one should not base the reality in a comic or in any kind of fiction.Not only because fiction is not real but because when you or any person write, they base in them own experience.
That said, this is not propaganda, this is the vision of the artist, base in his own experience
Also if anybody has a problem involving mental or health problems, you should go to a profesional
Fell for the classic "all squares are rectangles" bit.
Not everyone who does that regiment has that physique, but everyone who has that physique does do that regiment.
Don't care
