I think you might be confusing cause and consequence here. For example, there are opinions which assume that the more dominant you are in everyday life (due to being in an important position or whatnot), the more likely you are to be into BDSM and have the sub role because they need some kind of compensation for the stress of always keeping up to their role.
Magravan:
If he was serious, he would have said "Dora, this is actually important to me and I'm not kidding around. I'm not comfortable with sharing this, and you need to respect my privacy."
He opted for a joke, so who is going to take him seriously? Their relationship isn't as screwed up as some of you seem to think, and I think that some people might be missing the subtext there. If Marten really wants this kept private, he needs to stand up and say so. Does that cause Dora to get concerned and dump him? Maybe. There are some things that people aren't willing or able to bend on, and if you can't accomodate them, then sometimes you have to walk away.

--- Quote from: Dr. ROFLPWN on 12 Nov 2010, 03:41 ---Fellow forumgoers, I have a dream. That one day Dora can be involved in a story arc without people coming in expressly to call her a bitch. Or imply that she's a bitch. Or call her a crazy bitch/imply she's mentally unsound. Yes, I have a dream that someday, Jeph will make a strip where Dora interacts with another human being, possibly even her fucking significant other, without being belittled or insulted or having people call for her removal from the strip! That one day, people will recognize that Marty and Dora actually have a fairly healthy relationship! I HAVE A DREAM!

LOL! A dream as noble, and as unlikely to come true, as Dr. King's.
--- Quote from: jwhouk on 12 Nov 2010, 06:44 ---Google Translate didn't do a very good job with your original characters, milady.
--- End quote ---
Google Translate is made of fail, linguistically and culturally, when it comes to Chinese. Babelfish does a little better, but not much, rendering 只要功夫深，铁杵磨成针 as "So long as the time deep, iron pestle grinds to the needle". Yes, 杵 can mean pestle, but it's hardly the most common usage nowadays. To be fair though, the proverb dates back at least to Tang dynasty poet Li Bai, and the language is archaic.
--- Quote from: Skewbrow on 12 Nov 2010, 08:01 ---I was mildly surprised/impressed that just copy/pasting Akima's writings into Google search worked fine. The text under her avatar gives several hits, where the gist is about women supporting half the sky. The stuff about turning an iron rod into a needle started appearing on page three of google hits - the first two pages were all Chinese.

Google search works fine in Chinese because it doesn't need to understand, but just match. The hanzi under my avatar are a famous saying of Mao Zedong which translates as "Women hold up half the sky", a poetic way of saying that women have an equal part to play in society. Another noble dream yet to be fulfilled. :-D
Kazukagii:
I have three predictions:
1. It isn't anything special. He's in to normal stuff, maybe involving hot indie chicks. Dora teases him about wanting privacy over nothing, and leaves. Marten then leans over to Pintsize and thanks him for not showing her the actual stuff. Pintsize: "Bros before hoes, Marten."
2. It's photos of Faye, or Raven or somebody they know. It might not even be particularly sexy, Dora might just ask, "What does Marten fap to?" and Pintsize pulls up a folder of Faye candid photos. Then we will devolve into another Dora is insecure arc while the forum tears itself apart again over whether or not Dora is a bitch and should be with Marten.
3. The forum goers manage to predict every single scenario that Jeph could think of, and not wanting to let the forum goers ever be right, he has Marten talk Dora down and abandon the whole thing. Of course now that I said that he can't do it. You're locked in, Jeph, show us the goods.

Well, considering it fulfilled or not depends on how you feel about sex differentialism, really.
