It just happens that Martin's boundaries on THAT particular issue (mothersapornstar) make the Atlantic Wall look like your white haired granny's garden gate.

That's all nice and well. But what about Marten's boundaries?
@jwhouk:
Being from Cali is of course an undeniable variable int his...
And yeah... I suppose most of Marten's reactions and the severity of them stem from situational factors. It was just a very sudden break for me between
an annoyed "Yes, mother." in one strip
and
"Nah, I'm used to it." in the next.
Also I've just noticed that using "Not really" at the start of two answers in such short succession sounds really weird.
@ZoeB:
Erm... nice read. Stopped me dead in the middle of my breakfast. :-D :psyduck:

On the topic of offensive terms, Cali is not okay with most people actually from California, any more than Frisco is okay for San Francisco. This may seem odd, since it's largely people from California who use it, but as I said on a different topic before, what's offensive and not offensive is very malleable and sometimes it's not worth the worry. I'm not one to care, but The More You Know.
On the topic of California, it's interesting the power some believe it has over Marten's mindset. This state is way more fractured than pop culture would have you believe. It's not the state, it's San Francisco specifically- not even Hollywood is as likely to be accepting.

QCverse seems to be a lot more accepting than our verse, though of course that could be due to the limited perspective the characters we follow show us.
How does an Australian end up a DAR? I think they're lineage based.
And for a case of people being Not So Different, I may be a straight white male, with all the powers, privileges, and responsibilities that grants, but I greatly relate to part of your personal viewpoint. I don't mind what other people do unless it's destructive to others or themselves, and I'm okay around and accept people of very different lifestyles, but boy am I uninclined to try any of it myself, and my business is my own. It may be vanilla business, but it's mine and stay out. Whenever it rolls around, it's monogamy for me. Besides, it would be kind of stupid in a time investment sense to reject a friend just because she turns out to be a lesbian furry- then who else would I enjoy steampunk bands with?

Perhaps it's a case of, yes, it bothers him, but he's used to being bothered by it.

--- Quote from: Westrim on 25 Feb 2013, 21:25 ---Now I'm confused. MDBS is MillionDollarBeltSander. If you understand that it's a pearly string of semen puns, what is the confusion? Gender fluid is being taken as sex secretions, not as similar to malleable, happy batter is semen, the stain is a semen stain, cum is semen, cummerbund has 'cum' in the word, and Marten said happy batter and cummerbund in the comic linked to by the red period after "that".

Didn't realize it was referring to him when you were directly addressing me and didn't mean to do what? It didn't help to clear up confusion to me because yes, while I realize there seems to be a lot of words for "cum" in there, I still don't know what the sentence is actually saying. Also didn't see the link-dot at all.
At least MDBS' comment makes more sense given that you were linking a comic.
