Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT: 2226-2230 (9-13 July 2012) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread (SDCC Edition 1)
pwhodges:
Appreciation of this comic and its story is nothing to do with anyone here being hipsters. In any case, even among the younger members of this forum, that tendency is pretty much muted or absent.
Did your wife comment on her own reading of the comic (enough to understand the back-story and appreciate the development of the characters), or on your report of it? Because if you summarised it for her using the kind of language you're using here, I would say she wasn't actually commenting on the comic at all!
TinPenguin:
@someone:
a) I think you are forgetting that Tai, like Sven, has undergone something of an unslutting since her first appearance.
b) Tai never told Dora to ignore her issues, just that everyone has them and they shouldn't cause you to deny your strengths. As for calling her behaviour manipulative, it's not like Dora's issues are that serious. Not 'daddy-blew-his-brains-out' serious.
c) As for Marten's casual acceptance of it all, this is mainly because he genuinely is over Dora (in turn this is mainly thanks to Padma).
[pseudopsychology]However, I wonder if some of it is down to Tai being a girl. Or more importantly, not a man. If this were to occur with, say, Steve or any of Marten's male friends, it would sting of betrayal. That's a biological instinct (and a bro-logical instinct). But because Tai is female (and therefore not about to pump her genes into Dora), she isn't perceived as a threat in the same way.[/pseudopsychology]
WAYF:
I've never reported a post before. Excuse me while I go and read the guidelines for what is and is not acceptable to post.
EDIT:- Looks fine. Guess I just strongly disagree with more or less every aspect of it, that's all. And it's all academic if Hodges is reading.
VonKleist:
Certainly was a mouthful.
