--- Quote from: eyosgkxb on 16 Nov 2010, 11:04 ---How the duex is it useless, the point of application of blame is incase the accused refuses to accept it. Dora can't change who she is if she won't even realize that she's the one that started tthe problem in the first place. Dora is to blame and the only person responsiblee to change what brought her to this situation is Dora. I'm sure Marten or anyone else is no angel but what did he do to deserve any of what happened to him.
Its like your justifying rape because the victim had been intimate with the attacker in the past.

woa, take it easy dude... But to answer your question, Marten knows that Dora has couple issues, and he has done nothing about it. And that's what he did(or not did) to deserve that. being a pushover, not standing for himself, and not trying to resolve Dora's trust issues (assuming he wanted to be in the relation, that's what anyone would do) he changed nothing. He is guilty of in-action.

I also created an account just to comment on this! Also, to use Psyduck :psyduck:
I've never been this annoyed by a webcomic. I consider my day to be ruined, and since I was already rather grumpy it's not extra ruined.
Because I had a girlfriend that did exactly what Dora is doing now. That when SHE does something wrong, instead of feeling any sort of remorse, they accuse the person that they wronged of "guilting them" when they already feel bad about. Every argument I had with that girl ended with me feeling terrible and her wandering off because she turned every gripe I had back on me and made me feel bad about having any sort of feelings. And Marten's face in the last panel... that is all too familiar.
I vowed never to allow someone to do that to me again. And I want to smack Marten and tell him the same!

--- Quote ---Wow.
Just.. wow.
The sheer arrogance implicit in your post is awe inspiring.
I though I was king shit of self-absorbed mountain, but you, just.. wow.
I bow to you.

I know I'm arrogant. But I'm just trying to be honest, really :3
@eyosgkxb-- I know it would make crazy drama...I just like to dream. Sigh.

I think what the other poster was getting at was your arrogance has no effect on the discussion of the current strip, it seemed very self absorbed to apply anything that had happened to you as an explanation/justification for anything that may happen in any strip.
I'm a Hanners/Anyone fan myself, I'd like to see her grow into more than comic relief.

No, more the arrogance and the removal of agency from Marten bundled into her post. God forbid the emo little fuck NOT be completely open and exhibistionistic, he obviously doesn't have any rights as a person to define his own boundaries.. *grumble*

I'm going to step up and try and defend sylette, because I think you're attributing levels to her post that she didn't intend. Not understanding or being able to grasp something about someone does not imply that they don't have the right to hold that position, only that it is so far removed from what they believe/feel/whatever that they can't grasp it beyond the intellectual. They know that someone holds those beliefs, but can't really grasp what that means in practice. I myself am like this in regards to physical contact, I have a hard time grasping that sometimes, people just don't want to be touched. I know I'm like that, and I try very hard to control it, but sometimes i forget myself, and I may have lost a very good friend over it recently :(.
I don't personally agree that Marten and Dora are that different as to be incompatible, but I think it is a little unfair to be so harsh to sylette. The human mind is a complicated construct, but it has its limits. When you get too far outside them, it can be very hard to grasp the true impact of the situation.
Also, hi, 'nother semi-long-time lurker registering now that the activation email issue has been fixed.
jordinyc:
Next time I joke about this, I'm saying 941 pages, just to see what happens.
Honestly, how can anyone expect their post to be read by more than 2 people before it's "sage'd" 2 pages away. .. or are people ACTUALLY reading every single one of these hundreds and hundreds of posts?
