| Fisheye Placebo (Webcomic) | comment |
Fisheye Placebo is a webcomic on DeviantArt by Yuumei. In the fictional country of Central Eastern Republic ("CERia"), a young man named Vance Lee decides that he's been missing out on something. Something that porn simply can't replace. A girlfriend, to be more specific. And what better way to get a hot girl than to hack into his university and assign himself one for a roommate? According to Vance, apparently none. Little does he know though, that this little "harmless" action would end up changing his life forever. He never does end up getting that hot roommate and instead, gets roped into some crazy conspiracy to overthrow the totalitarian regime that their country is under rule of; courtesy of his most-definitely-not female roommate. | |

All Men Are Perverts: What convinces Vance to stay in his crappy dorm room? Seeing a bra on the floor. An agent of the Solar Eye Division had Robin's camera plugged into the mainframe because he found porn on it. This is what allowed Frey to hack it. | |

No Sympathy | |
| Fisheye Placebo (Webcomic) / int_1cf11f13 | comment |
No Sympathy: Mr. Lee, having grown up in poverty himself without anyone helping him, lectures Vance and Alex about not helping the homeless children begging for help in Chapter 0 Part 7, saying that if he can pick himself up, so can they. He also warns them that they might use their sympathy to attack them while their guard is down and rob them of their stuff, which he might've been right about since one of them was concealing a knife. Whether or not this was the right thing to do is YMMV, but it provides a powerful and depressing example of classism that Vance and Alex are shaken up by. | |

The Quisling: As seen on some social media comments at the beginning of Chapter 2, some people (possibly trolls or people being sarcastic, if not this trope) like SarahDallas kiss up to the country's authoritarian regime and claim that it's a wonderful thing. | |

Properly Paranoid | |
| Fisheye Placebo (Webcomic) / int_3aec9e5e | comment |
Properly Paranoid: One reason why Mr. Lee doesn't want to help the homeless children begging at their car is because they might rob them while their guard is down. He's right; the eldest girl is carrying a concealed knife, which she pulls out as the car speeds away in the next panel, although whether it was because she wanted to do exactly what Mr. Lee feared or she just pulled it out in a panic when she realized they were speeding away is deliberately left ambiguous. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Fisheye Placebo (Webcomic) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Alex's username on her social media accounts is BokuNoPlacebo, one half of a reference to the comic's title. At the beginning of Chapter 2, Alex's post about the whited-out graffiti gets flagged by Dumblr and her edit sarcastically thanks the website for its wonderful sensitivity filter. This happened around the time the flagging system was first implemented in Tumblr (due to changes in European Union laws), which was met with backlash for being faulty to a point of possible censorship. | |

Police Brutality | |
| Fisheye Placebo (Webcomic) / int_744e3311 | comment |
Police Brutality: In the prologue to Chapter 0, we see a protest turn violent. It's a wake-up call for Vance. In the backstory, Nadezha was arrested for participating in a student protest (and a failed revolution) and hasn't been seen since. In Chapter 1 Part 8, an officer beats up a woman for taking a photo of him on her phone while she calls him a Dirty Coward. | |

Word Salad Title | |
| Fisheye Placebo (Webcomic) / int_9c550e26 | comment |
Word Salad Title: At first glance, the title seems to be nothing but nonsense, but it has a meaning. As yuumei explains, "Fisheye" is a type of lens that distorts the camera shot to create a wide angle view and "Placebo" is a false cure given to a patient to trick them into believing they actually took a cure. Essentially, the title means "Through the distorted lens, I found a cure." | |
