      Nick-on-Whimsy-MenderFairy Rule 34?

      I’m not sure anyone could make a sufficiently surprised expression for the fairy, though.

    Nick strikes me as both the best and the worst QA person ever

      Well, Nick was told they *want* him to break it.

      He’d be the worst to work with, sure, but as long as he’s inventive about circumventing the system, he can only be good when it comes to raw work output.

      He’s kind of perfect for this job. He loves Whimsy and hates humanity.

    Wait… using razor wire, fowling net, and nails for porn? Should I be concerned?

      Brutally murder flights of songbirds, then binge hardcore porn. Classic QA.

    No, no I lied. THIS is the comic I need a print of to frame for my desk.

        Normal people don’t sit at home and look at porn on the WhimsyNet!

          Define “normal”.

    Perhaps Aimee can help Nick in his quest to see if the VR can be used for porn.

    I won’t believe the porn thing until someone turns on a viewing screen, there are several blacked out panels, then some interesting expressions. (know you can do the last one…)

    Great, I’m an ensemble member currently tasked with standing around looking at my phone, and now I’m struggling not to snicker out loud.

      I’ve heard it’s good to challenge yourself.

    Given the context, I initially read Nick’s line in panel 2 as “You’re not mod?” but that didn’t line up with the rest of the strip.

    (That would be a good QA question though- anyone with a virtual cattle prod that works on other users had better have gotten it as a moderator…)

    That last bit is entirely reasonable… that’s been the bane of many a supposedly family-friendly userspace. The catch is that to really prevent it, you basically need to prevent all user-generated content, which is harder than it sounds.

    Minecraft, f’rex, has no “official” ways of introducing new images to the game — the user-generated books are text only, and not much of that. Until players realized the potential of the in-game maps, combined with the ability to resurface the landscape such a map was displaying….

    It reminds me of the Disney virtual community where they tried to stop anyone from making obscene comments by only allowing mad lib style sentences with a small vocal of words you can put in the blanks (a little like dark souls). This was all well and good until the let a 14 year old boy play with it and he wrote “I want to stick my long-necked Giraffe up your fluffy white bunny.”

    Nick identifies as a helicopter. What does he regard as porn? A Chilton’s manual? Salacious blueprints of fighter aircraft?

      He may identify as a helicopter, but he’s still attracted to human women such as Dr. Lee, and not other helicopters. I’m not sure how arousal would work, though.

      That being said, aircraft porn is actually a thing. While it may not be clear how an aircraft would do arousal, somebody somewhere has given a disturbing amount of thought to how an aircraft would do sexual intercourse with a human woman. Please don’t ask me how I know this.

          Um… apparently, yeah. Seems that way.

          An obscure, incredibly-niche porn writer with an entry on Wikipedia more detailed than those of some works of classic literature. I feel I should be more surprised by that discovery than I am.

    Yano, when I first read this, I assumed the remark about the razor wire, fowling net and nails was related to the comment about the porn…

    People can make porn from anything and everything, someone can draw a picture of a bed and one person might go and say “That bed sheet is totally boning that bed.”
