Yotsuba and what looks like Osaka on the right, but I'm not sure.
Jeez, my inner 4channer is showing.

One small difference is that I can't ban people for being skeevy dickheads on "the interwebs" and I can here.
I mean, you're all "hurr hurr hurr, I wanna fuck a comic character, hurrr"
all "hurr a hurr hurr, X and Y are purdy, you should make 'em fuck, a-durrrr"
Jesus Christ, listen to yourselves.

Honestly, I don't think you can stop it, or even hope to contain it - at least not without some fallout. Moreover, perhaps we should ask if it's really necessary. I think banning people for what amounts to mostly harmless conversation is a bit much, and may lead to some bad mojo in the forums. I know it probably won't effect the bottom line, as only 0.001% of the readers actually post here, but you get my point. I'm not saying that some limits and rules aren't necessary - clearly, they are. But I think in this case, people are more doing it out of fun and love (agape, not eros) for the comic, not to get their jollies. I've seen very few if any 'OMGZ I WANNA PUT MAI WANG IN HANNERZ KEWTER' type of posts, which would clearly be way over the top and require banning. What's here in the forums is very rarely that.
I know it makes Jeph very uncomfortable, and I totally feel him on that and I'm sorry he has to see it, but he also hasn't gone so far as to potentially drive away some readers by banning them for it, and I think there's a lesson in that. All in all, it's mostly jokes and good fun and love of the comic's characters. Though it may not feel as good as acting on an impulse, let's sit back and try to enjoy the quirkiness that is the QC forums.

Also, just fyi, PT410X isn't new. Just to refresh people's memories.

I think that for the most part you are correct, but there are definitely some people here who take it too far and push into the creep-o-zone.

I was, in all effect, being sarcastic. This was to mimic and poke fun at all those cries of "Hantai" out there
