    He was on that island so long he started to think of the volleyball as a person, warping his perception of what a person should look like. Plenty of people hire prostitutes because they want to feel like they’re with someone they can’t be with anymore. This is no different.

      She looks like she wasn’t told this was part of their appointment. In fact, she looks unhappy about it. No context is explained to her and we don’t know if she would have agreed to meet him if he had asked before hand.

      In this comic, she is being used. If you think this is OK just because she is being paid for sex, this is one of the things I don’t like about this comic. Sex workers share their body with other people, safety and consent are extremely important. Sex workers deserve basic human respect, which is not shown here

        Not onscreen, anyway.

        and we don’t know if she would have agreed to meet him if he had asked before hand.

        So why assume the worst? Why make the rather serious accusation of the author violating consent based on a gut feeling?
