Collar 6/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

 * At first  come across as an Ass Pull. Then you realize, the whole comic is basically being done in the style of a Shonen anime.
 * Arguably a case with Laura's reaction to Sixx's harem.  No wonder she has issues with
 * And her earlier statement about liking her uniform at the cafe where she met Michelle because it was pink. When talking about her early life.
 * I didn't even realize this until I saw it mentioned under Call Forward, but "Mr. Black" on Sybion is . And what do we know about this character? That he uses "black books". Brilliant foreshadowing.

Fridge Logic

 * War was considered "detrimental" to humanity as a whole after Atlantis was discovered several thousand years ago, and the Americas are still colonized? I'm sorry, if weapons tech has stagnated around swords and bows, the colonists would have gotten their collective arse handed to them, as the Native Americans didn't really subscribe to the whole Universal Brotherhood thing..
 * To be fair, even in the absence of war, European diseases would have devastated Native American populations, leaving lots of room for sharing the land, and eventually interbreeding. Now, this likely would still have left a noticeable Native American influence on the appearance of modern people in North America (as in Mexico), you also have to factor in the (presumed) absence of African slaves which might further lighten the average skin color...
 * Turns out, they did have guns. That begs the question of "Why?"
 * Later, when Laura talks about Sybion, it's mentioned that but the Fridge Logic is that  so that really makes no sense. Or this could be intentional on the part of the author to show how out of touch the culture is. There is some debate about  However, this world is already fantasy, so stretching a controversial real-world hypothesis isn't going too far.
 * The whole computer terminal setup. First, needing an elaborate Matrix-style setup just to search a database. I'll let that slide, given the Deus Sex Machina setting. But the terminal, driven entirely by voice commands, has the ability to gag the user. A computer controlled by speaking has a feature to stop the user from speaking. What purpose could that possibly serve?
 * Very simple: Prevent abuse. Also, the elaborate setup isn't Deus Ex Machine at all. It's just how it is. The clerck explained it: privacy first. Also, you're in a BDSM society. Being bound like that would be pretty commonplace. So why not integrate it in to other stuff, say computers? Make sense to me. Try not to forget the fact that this isn't our world at all.
 * Guns shouldn't have been invented without the need of nations to kill each other (not counting the police's liquid rubber firing Arm Cannons). And yet, not only were they banned in 1900, Sixx senior has a Glock. Also: Powered Armor.
 * That's assuming they're only used against other people, when they could have still been invented to take down prey and large animals, such as buffalo and bears. Just because people aren't fighting each other doesn't mean they don't use guns. And gunpowder was originally invented by Taoist monks looking for an elixir of immortality, it was only an accident that they discovered it could be used as an explosive and eventually be used in firearms.
