[Is it cold in here?]

Was it funny when Marten smacked Faye on the ass?

[Masterbainter]

Marten buys Faye new glasses.
She gives him a purple nurple (aka titty twister).

Reverse the gender.

Chick buys Dude new glasses.
He twists her nipple unto pain.

Why is it no longer funny? 

Because the girls nipple squirted breast milk out, which is a waste of perfectly good cofee creamer.

Agreed, it's an interesting question, but seriously, what's the relevance? When has this ever come up in the comic?

What about when Marten hits that monk with the pan? If it was a baby instead of a monk, think how inappropriate that would be!

[Dunnoe]

i don't think mr. jacques is advocating domestic abuse. none of the parties want the other to stop inflicting pain, so we can assume that it isn't excruciatingly unbearable. or they're into S&M.

S&M?

Dora and Faye whip up Marten?
Marten whips up Dora and Faye?

erm...nevermind...

[Masterbainter]

You can't domestically abuse the willing...  erm.. hmm.. nevermind.

[pwhodges]

And those who are willing only because they know no different?

 I find it goddamn hilarious.

For one thing, people don't purple nurple girls.  Anyone who does so is generally seen as an ass anyways.

It's ALWAYS funny when GUYS get purple nurples.

Since human females only produce milk when pregnant or having recently given birth...there's bigger problems. 

[Fen]

I got purple nurples many times.
It was by other chicks tho.
One guy tried to give me a purple nurple once, tho.
He laid on the floor grabbing his balls for the following half hour.

Agree. girl touch your nipple=sexy.

Men touching your nipple=hand breaking. (IF YOU ARE HETERO of course)

Men with mustache=normal.

Girl with mustache=WTF.

[Fen]

I'm a girl. .
I'm fairly sure a guy wouldn't hit another guy in the crotch hard enough to leave him lying.

[Siibillam-Law]

Depends who the guys are

[Rocketman]

I'm a girl. .

And we reiterate: "girl touch your nipple=sexy."

man what

if you suck on the breasts enough over a period of time they will produce milk, don't need to be no pregnancy involved

[Norton Quintessential]

Is it just me, or has this topic kind of turned a 180?

I did not know that.

Thats wrong, there are some women that can do that but they're the exception.

if there are men that can lactate (and there are men that can lactate) then i posit that women who require pregnancy to lactate are the exception

Where the hell did you get that from? Men can't lactate, we don't even store any milk.  Your logic makes noe sense as lactating usually starts around 20 weeks in to pregnancy and it will last the rest of her if she keeps breast feeding

i'd just like to point out that this is my favourite reason for frequenting gay bars

You have a little too much faith.

[lily-kiernan]

Hello, George Carlin.

I am posting this because one of the biggest problems in the world is people getting butthurt when people crack jokes, burn flags or do other entirely insignificant shit that doesn't lessen the value or importance of the issue or item being scandalized at all, but somehow ends up making people really really angry anyway. Do you really think any QC fans will suddenly think it's okay to beat their wives or husbands because they read a joke about it in a webcomic, or are you simply taking this as an opportunity to get all high-and-mighty and/or righteous? Because honestly, it seems like the latter.

It won't cause QC readers to go out and beat their significant others, but it does contribute to a cultural viewpoint that it's funny. For example, a man being raped. We make lots of "Don't drop the soap jokes" when talking about prison, but rape, including for/especially for men, is an utterly terrifying thing to endure. The view of male rape being funny, what started as "just making light" of it, has contributed to a rape-survivor support system that, for the most part, excludes men, both as counselors and as clients. It also contributes to the arguments of those asswipes who call raped men "pussies". It enshrouds boys and young men, especially, from reporting molestation and childhood sexual abuse. In this case, laughing about it contributes to the already-present viewpoint of men as exclusively batterers, and women as exclusively battered. (which particularly affects the already-downtrodden gays and lesbians; women can beat their wives, and men can beat their husbands... it's not gender exclusive.)

However, in this situation, I think the girls just pick on Marten. If he wants it to stop, he should put up some boundaries, and Dora and Faye, not being abusive, would not cross those boundaries. (Premonition: forty-seven Faye angst strips on hurting Marten.) That is where, I think, the line is drawn. When told to stop, a normal person stops after the first indication of displeasure. An abuser carries on.

[John911]

Right on.

[TheReaper]

For fairness's sake, we ought to mention that Dora never utilized said broadsword, or the Malaysian Battle Spatula.

That we've seen.
There has been blood to clean up.

Anyway, I'm off to make Holocaust and dead baby jokes. Because there's nothing wrong with it.

[SleeperCylon]

Slapstick humor doesn't count as domestic violence.  Unless anime girls who hit guys with large hammers they pull out of thin air are committing assault with a deadly weapon.

[lily-kiernan]

I do have a friend who was laughed out of a rape support group because he was male. Literally. It was bad.

But that is a good point you are bringing up, about the taboo of rape. We (not QC readers, mind you, but Americans) do make light of it, yes, but discussion of rape is still too taboo in PC culture for my happiness.

Note: I am far too lazy to quote right now. Sorry Jeans.

[Guido Sarducci]

I think he means the domestic violence one. I can't really remember one either.

Clearly it was subliminal and Jeph wants me to beat my woman.

do it. go on. do it.

[John911]

On this we agree. This is just overreacting, and probably even a troll, seeing as the original poster hasn't made a single comment after creating the thread.

Maybe someone needs to re-read the thread more carefully.

To be honest looking back on the original post it does come across quite "high and mighty".

But one of my family members was in the situation when he was in the process of getting a divorce. Very much a case of "I can hit you, but you can't hit me because I am a girl." She was a bitch. No doubt.

I had an argument with a female friend who also reads QC recently, and I made the point that violence from women against men is considered in society to be funny, and not taken seriously. I used QC as an example basically. This is what prompted my post.

My point is that society as general also has the view of "I can hit you, but you can't hit me because I am a girl." And if the guy speaks up about it, he is derided for being hit by a girl. We as a society do a great deal of work to promote awareness of domestic violence, but generally only violence directed against women.

Insult me away!

[Masterbainter]

I think that's what some men are upset about.  A girl is able to emit her frustration on a male with violence (Exp. Faye>Marten) and the male may only feel a bit of pain but have to "man up" and deal with it because why? 

I think that is where alot of guys get upset with the idea of it being okay for girls to hit guys. 

[Guido Sarducci]

I've had a couple of hitters, (my ex wife threw a beany baby at me once and gave me a black eye but she was so ashamed and remorseful it ended her getting physical) and it never bothered me. It wasn't an "I'm macho" thing, I just always figured letting them whack at me a bit would let them calm down, and it was never going to hurt me. Sort of like punching a pillow or whatever.

Then I realized what I was doing by letting them hit was training them that it's okay in general and especially against me. So I learned to block them until they wore out. I've never had a successful relationship with a woman who wanted to hit. They always end up getting angrier and angrier--either because I was letting them get away with things they shouldn't have done, or because they became so frustrated at my passivity to them and their inability to "punish me" that we finally imploded. I'm glad that hitters are relatively uncommon, since I have no idea how to handle it properly...It's sort of a bad feeling, you know?

[SuperSUGA]

Then I realized what I was doing by letting them hit was training them that it's okay in general and especially against me.

This is the key point here. Of course I don't think QC has any problems unless people are looking to the characters as role models, which I imagine is unlikely.

[KeepACoolin]

I don't know about that.  I know that, thanks to Marten, I now dream of a career arc that includes Office Bitch and librarian as the high points.

[SuperSUGA]

I think we can all fantasise about QC-style careers! I mean these people are all in there 20s and not one of them ever really finds themselves in a job where they have to answer to someone that isn't a good friend. Hannelore might be the exception but I don't think we're meant to think about her job too much...

[championofkhorne]

well since her job is counting things it doesnt really come up all that often.

also she is rich as hell.

[Surgoshan]

Her parents are rich as hell.  Not quite the same thing.

you get hit from about six feet away when the person throwing it is putting everything they have behind it. They're not all that damned light. And if you get hit hard enough with a freaking whiffle ball, it's gonna bruise you in soft tissue like you have around your eye. No. I'm not a sissy. *cries*

[championofkhorne]

beanie babies: blatant consumerism at its worst

[Guido Sarducci]

She worked in a toy store when we met. It's not like we were collecting the damned things. I wonder what they're worth now?

[Lyrical]

A lot of states will press charges even against the victim's wishes, or over something minor.  My brother's former fiancee threw a glass of milk (not the cup, just the milk) in her ex-husband's face.  She got carted off to jail for the night, lost custody of her kids, and was on probation for an extended period of time.

[lily-kiernan]

That's a little... wow, okay.
Shit. I'm waiting for the cops to get me now (except I used the hose in the sink).

[Is it cold in here?]

Big difference. That was just water, the other person used milk, the deadliest of the food groups.

[SuperSUGA]

Throwing liquids is a lame attack. I'd rather someone just hit me.

Hmm, I'd forgotten about the milk attack. I never really got why Marten's ex just fled the scene conveniently.
