Personally, I hate them. If I'd seen that image in clear I would have spoilered it immediately; probably not deleted it, but gritting my teeth.

Take an internet for that.

...how is that not an incredibly sexist question?
--- End quote ---
Women tend to be more concerned about their personal safety than men, and so tend to be more prone to misinterpret men's behavior as threatening, even when said behavior is not intended as such. And yes, some men can be interpreted as more threatening than others, even when they're not trying to be.

As a woman, I didn't find this situation threatening at all. Then again, I am much more socially adjusted and much less anxious than Marigold as a person over all. I've been in situations where we've come back home from bars and let new acquaintances crash on the couch, unattended, while we went back to our own beds just as wasted out of our minds to avoid having anyone driving home drunk. In retrospect, I think I would have re-evaluated those decisions, but then, so many aspects of college and hookup culture aren't entirely all that safe. Both Delilah and Marten were drunk/high out of their gourds. Inebriated perfect stranger Mark Marten offered to stay behind in an empty house with equally inebriated Delilah with the intention of hooking up with her. In a highly sensitive universe, that is about 100% more creeptacular than Dale, a guy Marigold knows, likes and wants to date, staying over and watching a movie with perfectly sober Momo on the couch while she sleeps off the Benadryl in her room.
But hey, that's just me.

coming soon, on SlipShine...Marigold Performs a Sex. (damn you Willis!)
GarandMarine:
It's the violation of my bubble that bothers me. I'm introverted outside of the right settings and even in those settings I'm highly defensive of MY space. I'm quite well adjusted socially, especially after a beer or three to take the edge off and while I have issues with anxiety and paranoia in this scenario

Yes.
It would also have been socially awkward to leave, but not as funny.
Nobody will ever take the QC characters as role models for setting good boundaries.

That's really what is being dealt with here. Maybe it's just me, I've had randoms crash at my pad before no problem, (not as part of college or whatever hook up culture is, but I'm no stranger to getting hammered with strangers. Marines drink like we fight.) and I've been the pursuer and pursued for the odd drunk hook up or two and am just fine with those situations. They're very defined and particular about where they get in the boundaries. Delilah laid it out hard and fast for Mark in the morning. Random hook up. Shoo. Random drunk people. Don't puke on my couch, then shoo.
