Have we ever truly seen him take a stand? To anyone? Anyone at all?
hannahsaurusrex:
The better question is does he REALLY need to?
He stands up for himself in life or death matters like with VespAvenger and Monk Spies, and is capable of setting ground rules like with Tai's behavior around Hanners, and Faye's behavior around Marigold.
Marten's pretty chill, if something SERIOUSLY bothers him, he does address it.

He opted for a joke, so who is going to take him seriously?

That's funny, because that's really not how I heard him say that little piece in the third panel. I heard a very serious, nearly sinister voice. Almost "Hello, Clarice"-like.

--- Quote from: Akima on 12 Nov 2010, 14:18 ---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
--- End quote ---
Well, considering it fulfilled or not depends on how you feel about sex differentialism, really.

I remember something written someplace about a "suitable helper", so I can't really argue with Mao's observation.

--- End quote ---
This repeated assertion is getting boring. Some people may think that discussion of porn is crucial; but rest assured that there are others who have never had any interest in it, nor any need to discuss it because their partners also have no interest in it.

Thank you. This is why I am still betting that he doesn't have a porn stash.
Here's my reasoning: my dad, every Sunday when he was growing up, had chicken for dinner.
Every. Freaking. Sunday.
After I was born, my parents went to NYC with me to see the Pope. On the plane ride back home, it was packed, I wasn't exactly happy, there were several other crying babies on the flight... and they served chicken for the in-flight meal.
My dad HATED chicken with a passion, and I can't remember more than a few times when we had chicken for dinner - especially on Sunday nights.
Of course, nowadays, can you guess what I LOVE to have for dinner? (And what I'm going to be eating shortly after I post this? Hint: Cordon bleu is my favorite version of it.)
I also had the same aversion to ham right after my mom passed away. Why? Because when anyone and everyone stopped by to give their condolences, they brought ham. TONS of it.
Given this line of reasoning, I'd almost bet that Marten has a near-aversion to porn, especially anything that would be considered "kinky", if only because of what his mom does for a living and what his dad is/does.

--- Quote from: O8h7w on 10 Nov 2010, 16:58 ---And why is that? Because all of you seem to have completely missed out on something that's horribly wrong in Marigold's fanfic. Hermione and Ginny can't both be 25 years old at the same time...
--- End quote ---
And thats all thats wrong with that fanfic ?
--- End quote ---
No, it's not the only thing that is wrong with the fanfic. But it's the only thing wrong with the fanfic that I didn't expect of Marigold!
(As for ageing potion, it doesn't actually change how old you are. But I have to agree that timeturning hourglass could mess things up pretty bad... )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, back to what the discussion is about now (or at least a few minutes ago). It's quick changes in these forums...
And that is what Dora will find out about Marten's porn when she talks to Pintsize:
Opportunity #1: Pintsize doesn't have a clue, according to comic #1 and in spite of another comic, which I can't find. Of course, Pintsize will show her something in the near of the weird things you can find on his twitter, just because he likes messing wtih people - but that shouldn't actually fool her, should it?
Opportunity #2: Pintsize does have it on his harddrive, but shows something else to Dora just to mess with her.
Opportunity #3: Pintsize does have it, but doesn't show it to Dora out of respect for Marten. Impossible - but it would nevertheless mean Pintsize would mess with Dora.
Opportunity #4: Pintsize does have it, and shows it to Dora just to mess with Marten. Doesn't happen, since he would miss the opportunity to mess with Dora.
Opportunity #5: Pintsize does have it, but doesn't want to show it since it disturbs him. Judging by his twitter feed, that rules out almost everything except normal porn... which is impossible because it's boring. Anyway, he would mess with Dora.
Opprtunity #6: Pintsize doesn't have what she's looking for, and tells her that... even more impossible than #3.
No matter how you look at it, Pintsize will just mess with Dora.
Then what about Marten's porn and fetishes, do they even exist? No is actually a reasonable answer, porn might turn him off since it's connected to his mother - as was just pointed out by jwhouk. And Hentai may be off limits because of Pintsize's obsession with that stuff. However, can't ignore what has been pointed out about cross-dressing (and anal strap-ons)... but I don't like the idea, so I'll stick to that he doesn't like porn at all.
Yet another too long post by me (but the first one in this forum, yay)
