--- Quote from: Neko_Ali on 20 Feb 2015, 06:12 ---I don't see Dora freaking out about Marten dating Claire because of those girl-with-a-penis comments. A) that was a long time ago. B) Dora knew even then that it was a crazy fear because of her insecurities over relationships. C) Dora knows what the breakup was about... her insecurities over relationships. D) Dora has a girlfriend now who she has shown nothing but happiness with and is in general more calm about her relationship fears these days. And finally E) She's been actively trying to push Marten back into the dating pool again of late.

To be fair, I *could* see Dora being a bit peeved because it's been established that Marten is pretty vanilla in bed, and she'll (wrongly) think that dating Claire means he was actually holding out on some kinky aspect of his personality or something.
For a lot of people, jumping to the conclusion you're dating a particular "kind" of person because of their characteristics, rather than who they are, is second nature sadly. I'm white, and years ago had a black girlfriend. You wouldn't believe the number of people who jumped to the conclusion I was with her because I wanted to see what a black woman was like in bed. It was pretty nastily both racist and sexist.
zioninavision:
If Jeph has a cold or is disappointed about something, nothing too serious but a bit, in the future we should send him videos of us howling along to wolves howling through twitter en masse. :)

Ummm... tough?
Look, I've been around here for a long, long time. Back in the day, the WCDT never got that long, there weren't that many of us and you could just talk about something simply and not have to repeat yourself. But times have changed. The comic is more popular than ever, and there are a ton more people in the WCDT. On top of that, there's never been a topic like this that's had to be broached so many different ways. When every WCDT is 15 pages long, the more casual observers aren't going to read the whole thing - they're just gonna jump in when they can. Just how it goes. Your job's gotten tougher, granted - but ya gotta keep fostering discussion. That's part of the deal, ya know? Shutting people down isn't really going to help.
Why not just put up a sticky? That way, people can refer to that.
Neko_Ali:
Do you mean like the stickies that are already up about the subject, that nobody reads or pays attention to?
no one special:
--- Quote from: explicit on 19 Feb 2015, 12:40 ---I've never been in a relationship that immediately had problems, otherwise I probably wouldn't have dated that person.

...and then there are those of us who have chosen, for some damn reason, to tough it out for almost 2 years...
*sigh*
