--- Quote from: Nodaisho on 15 Dec 2010, 23:00 ---How does anyone ever think a legal discussion pertaining to a comic is a good idea?

I don't think anyone ever said it was a GOOD idea.
I mean, strapping a piece of thin fabric to your back and then jumping out of an AIRBORNE PLANE isn't really a good idea, but a lot of people seem to enjoy it.

Except this is more like the tone-deaf people that sing at the top of their lungs in subway cars. All-around terrible for everyone but themselves.

my cat does this, he is deaf and just walks around meowing loudly and doing nothing.

But cats do that when they aren't deaf as well.
But I just ignore them until they do something that actually entertains me.
Method of Madness:
I'm pretty sure this hasn't been posed, but has anyone brought of the double standard? For instance, let's say after Faye broke up with Sven, she got drunk. Really drunk. (She probably did, but bear with me) She then goes to Martin, who's still with Dora at the time. For whatever reason, she decides to make a move on Marten, and perhaps gets a bit handsy and makes similar comments that Marten made.
And Marten steps back and knocks her out. Is this acceptable? Fuck no.
Am I saying the situations are the same? No. But it's a little disturbing how people seem to think Faye's punching Marten was not, at the very least, a gross overreaction.
:psyduck: Psyduck agrees, I'm sure.

--- Quote from: Razgriz on 15 Dec 2010, 18:49 ---One thing to keep in mind is that Marten has been drinking alone while having reason to be depressed for, like, probably hours now since Hanners left. Meanwhile, Faye has been out making out with Angus. That set off my 'shouldn't you be with Marten? He's always been there for you' alarms yesterday and I'm sober and only thought about it for a minute. Poor guy's super drunk and had a long time to build up resentment. 'Why is Faye with Angus and not here' is a question that could reasonably lead a drunk person to reach the conclusions he has. Does that excuse his behavior? No. But really, Faye made out with Angus the whole night the day after an earth-shattering moment for her best friend. I don't know about you guys, but when bad things happen to people, friends are supposed to be there for them, not show up after hours of drinking alone and brooding to receive the brunt of their mood and then play the victim when their friend is mean.

I don't think this is really fair to Faye. Recall, too, that Faye has been left sitting on her own in the dumps while Marten was out with Dora—in fact, as memory serves, that's what perciptated the whole karaoke—go to Sven's place—sleep with him thing.
Trouble is, Faye may very well think as you do the next day. And she'd be wrong. Being a friend does not equal being a keeper of some sort. If you need that, it's time for you to be hauled off to an institution.
Of course, Faye may balance any guilt she feels (earned or not) with her own mistaken taking-to-heart the things Marten said to her. Truth? Drunks never speak the truth—for one thing, as a rule, everything is always skewed. In this case, it's all 'bout Poor Marten. However, Poor Marten is not Marten. He's that selfish little twerp we usually keep under lock and key, and rightly so. Otherwise, we'd never be able to coexist.

I'll add that line to my sig, if that's ok with the author...

Ah, to heli with her. Just take it. :evil:
Edit: Madness, if Faye has a chance of overpowering Marten, or even getting in a wrestling match over his mantenna array, then he's got my permission to deck her ass.
