--- Quote from: Econoclast on 25 Feb 2009, 16:56 ---To be fair, unless Sven contracted a disease, it's really none of Faye's business who he sleeps with... They're not in a relationship. He really didn't need to tell Faye at all, but he did anyway and now he's reaping the inevitable drama that comes from that.
Which just goes to show you: never listen to women, Sven.

Really? Faye laid down the conditions of her continued consent quite awhile ago. She told him if he slept with anyone else, she'd be gone. If Sven really wasn't happy with that, then he should have stopped sleeping with her. Just because she jumped him first doesn't mean she is obligated to continue sleeping with him under whatever circumstances he wishes. Any person has the right to make whatever conditions they want for their consent. If the other person finds these conditions unreasonable, then they should walk away. Since Sven didn't do this, he accepted her conditions whether he liked it or not.
Yeah he was being a jerk for hurting her for no good reason (apparently not even his own pleasure), but they weren't in a relationship so what he did wasn't quite cheating. It's not like he's beyond redemption or anything. He told her, she left. No yelling, no bone-breaking. They both acted according to the terms she laid out and he accepted by continuing their arrangement. Faye is within her rights to feel hurt, even if she should have known this was coming. Sven is within his rights to be upset at throwing away good times with Faye for one night in the sack that he didn't really enjoy that much anyway.

Cyborg lesbians are fine, but Iapetus is even more awesome.

--- Quote from: Tormuse on 25 Feb 2009, 12:24 ---That being said, at least he gave Faye fair warning that this might happen beforehand. In this strip, after Sven says he might fuck someone else, Faye's remark is "If you fuck someone else, I'll leave" when she could have said "Well, then I'm leaving now." I can sympathize with her for feeling hurt, but she must've known this was coming. (er... no pun intended) :)

To be absolutely fair, I believe that Sven should have manned up right then and there and said: "If you're not going to let me sleep with other people, then our relationship (such as it was) is over."
I don't hate Sven. I think he's been perfectly reasonable. He's even a good enough guy to feel bad about about hurting Faye's feelings. But if we're nitpicking, and playing the "coulda-woulda-shoulda" game... then Sven should have shot this drama in the face the second it was born - by refusing to sleep with the crazy girl. I mean really, what did HE expect would happen, sleeping with Faye? The girl's got more issues than a news-stand!!

Soooorrrryyy ;) I'll send the braincell back to you. I don't think I damaged it...much. I washed it off and everything.
Ya know, the more I think of the whole "she was a good time" line, the more I think Sven is just trying to convince himself and anyone who is listening that he does NOT care. I mean, if he didn't care, why bother with the honesty thing? Why not just slither the usual way, or even continue banging Faye until the shit hit the fan? I mean, I can see lots of other potential slimy action here. I mean, he could have behaved like my exBF and denied everything while I had the newest bladder infection.
I've seen slime. Sven hasn't made it there yet. He COULD, yeah, and he might, but he still has potential. I'm holding out hope until Sven steps off the cliff into the realm of the irredeemable.
That said, "she was a good time", considering how little evidence we have of anything beyond Faye snarking at Sven/issuing threats and them boinking each other, what would he say? She's a nice person? (has she demonstrated that where he is concerned?) She was smart and funny (again, do we see anything indicating that with Sven in the room?). I think he came up with a reasonable assessment. She provided some good times and not a whole lot beyond.
