Raidah! This is not how you handle your goons! This is bad gooning!!

Andrea Andrew

An old character is now resurfacing, and she’s…apparently a bigot.

Sajuuk-Khar

Billie, to Char: oh shit you’re her Admiral Ozzel, huh Alice: YESSSS, OOH, SICK BURN Billie: I only know that movie cause I love films! I’m not a nerd!!

Andrea Andrew

Sorry. Guess I forgot about Char.

Harold

@Andrea Andrew: Char is the one who used the R-word to refer to Dina behind her back, which was a little too much even for Raidah

Railway Series Book Club

my brain failed to read the word 'ass' in panel 3 and yet i still nodded my head going "yes, this makes sense, solid logic there miss ableism"

Railway Series Book Club

to be fair the only memorable thing she's done in the comic is call dina bazinga

Andrea Andrew

Oh right. Man, that was a while ago. So she’s ableist. Guess she’s also represents the 2000s culture that trivialized slurs.

Logibear

"Heyyyy.... You two... I can hear you, you know..." "Shut the fuck up Sarah"

Lazuli

....i have no memory of char

Kazo

Aw, hey Char, we thought you were dead. /meme

KiasyonSFM

It's likely been about 3 years since we saw Char and I hope it's 3 more 😂

Lisa

Sarah's legs look stronger, if I'm not mistaken. Good for her for sticking with the gym routine.

Logibear

She needs to have a workshop with them. A Goon Session if you will.

Ben Wray

Somehow, Char returned.

Kiri Blackthorn

i've pointed out to friends before how raidah calling her out at the mall is the last time that word is ever used in the comic, so i literally laughed out loud at that punchline.

Lazuli

oh wow her last appearance* was almost a decade ago

Keep on being a wonderful human, Raidah. [insert massive eyeroll here]

Ryan Kertai

Bulk and Skull's theme popped unbidden into my head upon seeing this strip.

Mohmi

Char doesn't want to acknowledge the mistakes of her youth smh she'll never have her soul escape Earth's gravity like this.

I think it's retroactively the only time now, because if you go back through the archive, the other times have been changed. As far as I can tell, punkitt's massive bluesky thread read-through bringing attention to it (she was like "oh, the 2010s, of course there are slurs") led to the change. Here's the first one that showed up: https://bsky.app/profile/punkitt.bsky.social/post/3mbawvqlotl24 And that strip as it now appears on the website: dumbingofage.com/boyfriend/ There was at least one other example and that's gone too: Joe finding out that a very foolish person has landed himself in a sex tape scandal only to find out that "wait, [r-slur]o is me?", which is now "dweebo" (dumbingofage.com/dweebo/)

Sajuuk-Khar

Honestly, if Raidah’s social circle went around just making out with people for clout I’d kinda respect the hustle

Sajuuk-Khar

See, I heard Groose’s Theme, but I get the vibe for sure

Sajuuk-Khar

Maybe she’s lifting weights, maybe her thighs have a death grip on Mr. Logical QB, could be both

Empress of Robots

[Victor Caroli voice]: "It is the year 2026. After Raidah's defeat at the hands of Tony, she is desperately low on social influence and has retreated to the burnt out husk of a person—Char."

Gale Tazzin

hard to make crab rangoons in the dorm kitchens, those are only designed for Kraft Dinner

Gale Tazzin

was it ever really about the connections for raidah? if not, what was it really about?

Shane Wegner

::frowns and reaches for UrbanDictionary::

Mojotron

I was wondering if they were still friends

Jasmijn Wellner

"I say slurs, you get angry at me; I don't say slurs, you get angry at me... make up your mind!"

tifani

Her actions led to a justified banishment.

Pangab

Same

Maude Reads Things

I think that's the only other time that particular slur was used

Maude Reads Things

Oh, huh, so she does still hang out with Char, she just doesn't invite her out to lunch
