So I decided to read Bittersweet Candy Bowl. It looked cute and funny, it was advertised on a bunch of other webcomics I read, and hey it's free entertainment.

And then I read the confrontation arc, a less humorous and cute story.

The female protagonist provokes a beating, molestation and possible rape to save her primary love interest from having his skull smashed open.

I went through some phases, I'll list in order

1, That sounds kinda backwards.
2, Is that heroism or simply folly?
3, But if half the time you trade a guy getting his ribs smashed in for a girl getting raped and the other half you trade the other way, it doesn't do anything does it?
4, Is it heroism without a possibility of success?

I've concluded that this was heroism and that heroism is not about mitigating losses, it's about responsibility.

Anyway, kind of a clicking moment there.

I think you and the creator take these comics too seriously.
