ABR Discussion Thread XXX - No Sexual Title for You!

[The Gremlin]

Darklord Bright has the final say on that. They are his characters and for that might not be as big a leap as we might think. I dunno.

Quite possibly. Rebooted Q, at least. He's very different from regular Q.

Rebooted Q is a pacifist and quite possibly a ladies man, unlike his violent and dateless predessesor. I think I'd add quite a few more flaws on him to balence it out, though. You'll see.

Q walked up to them and made a very bad pickup line. As far as I've concerned, he hasn't changed.

Hey, everybody, I'm working on a new backstory comic! Exile didn't work out, even though it totally had an awesome story (it would have, honest! ), so this one will explain the origins...of Henny, my constant unchanging avatar, also known as The Gremlin for unknown reasons.

It's going to be set in Runescape, and I have reasons for that:

1. I have actually wanted to do a Runescape comic for quite some time. However, I never really had the time to do a bunch of comics. I already don't make comics in ABR. However, merging the backstory comic with this would work great. It gives me lots of new ideas, too.

2. Actually, the first one pretty much covers it. I'll just repeat myself: I have actually wanted to do a Runescape comic for quite some time. However, I never really had the time to do a bunch of comics. I already don't make comics in ABR. However, merging the backstory comic with this would work great. It gives me lots of new ideas, too.


It will use bad-style artwork, and MS Paint (again, no choice about it).

Thoughts? As long as I don't hear anybody saying 'Runescape sucks', critique for the idea is welcome.

Sounds interesting, though I'll advice you to stay from using too much of the game's backstory, even with really popular games it's often lost on the readers who didn't do exactly that sidequest that reveal it, and Runescape, while not bad is a game few seem to have interest in and even fewer may know the relevant history. Again not saying it's a bad game, it was pretty fun when I played it.

The idea is that everything relevant to the comic will be explained, possibly by use of the narrator. That way, there will be little confusion.

[Darklord Bright]

Never said it was canon, I just think it's really funny.

Totally out of character for both of them, though.

[Bayar]

Very, VERY probably NON-canon FFFR.

Spoiler

Not funny. Not even remotely.

1. This is offensive to women. I as a man am offended by it. It is sexist and degrading to consider women pieces of meat that will just randomly sleep with any creep that proposes to them.

2. 7 minutes to satisfy 2 women ? One of which is supposedly a Kamina clone ? You are clearly giving yourself TOO MUCH credit. Oh, and in that time it is included the walk to a room with a bed, the taking off the clothes time...

[Nameless]

You're joking, right?

[Bayar]

No I'm not.

[Nameless]

No I'm not.

*headdesk*

[Bayar]

*facepalms*

When Garl Glittergold collapsed Darastrixhurthi (the magnificent kobold mine, a fortress fit dor dragons and rivaled by none) and killed all but one kobold in the process, he justified his act of genocide as a joke.

Did it make it anything else than genocide ? No it didnt.




Same here. Even if Q obviously intended that work of "art" to be a joke, did it make it even remotely less offensive ?

Please tell me, as a human being with a positive IQ.

[The Gremlin]

No I'm not.

Bayar, the seven minutes thing could be interpreted as a joke or the result of an inexperienced person.

As for offensiveness, I don't think that's how it was intended. But if you interpreted it as such, and it offended you, you do have that right. Which is why we should use my solution:

That was Q's daydream. Somebody will cast read mind and Q will be sufficiently beaten up.

Q gets mocked and bruised and I get the pie while people watch the smackdown. Everybody wins.

/\ The Gnome Propaganda would like to have a word with you. Garl Glittergold collapsed something that would have harmed all the other gods, and anyways, it was an accident, and besides which there were no kobolds but Kurtlemak inside. *Cough*

*Kobold Propaganda beats up liar gnomes*

...nah, I still like Pathfinder gnomes more.

His male character had sex with two female characters. He didn’t offend and degrade the women of the world.

“I want to live in a democratic society with freedom of speech, but I never want to be offended.”

Of course, it's only "offensive" because a man wrote it. If it had been written by a woman, it would have been fine.

Okay. Good to know. Just curious.

...or there's the simpler option of accepting Q's "Very, VERY probably NON-canon" comic as non-canon.

You completely and utterly FAIL

No Rand, you fail. You always have.

Of course, it's only "offensive" because a man wrote it. If it had been written by a woman, it would have been fine.

Really? I'd have thought it just as offensive either way. Why wouldn't it be offensive if a woman wrote it?

[Darklord Bright]

It's not offensive at all! It's a character and a joke about two FICTIONAL alien babes!

Did you miss the white text?

[Green-Shirt Q]

Did you miss the white text?

No. I was just covering my own ass. I didn't know if anybody else might've missed it, and when it comes to linking porn websites there is no joking around about it.

[Keris]

His complaint is that it is sexist towards women. Why would a woman be regarded as sexist towards herself?

First thing, I was arguing that a woman can make something that is sexist against women. Not that such a woman would be "sexist against herself". In any case, a woman who believed that men were inherently superior to women would be sexist against women. And would be regarded as such if she publicised her views.
If something is sexist, I don't see how it could suddenly stop being sexist just because you found out the gender of the author. It would still be just as sexist as before.

It's not offensive at all!

It evidently is, Bayar was offended by it.

[Green-Shirt Q]

It evidently is, Bayar was offended by it.

Exactly. NOBODY was offended by it.

But seriously, Bayar, if you're offended by that, take it up with my character, Q. He's VERY different from Quin Azevedo, who takes no responisbility for disrespecting women. I swear, I have never done that in real life. Not even once. Even when I saw chicks walking down the street in short shorts, thongs, and loose shirts that showed off their tits while they gigled and talked about how many guys they've slept with and their latest manicure, I've always thought to myself "I'm sure they're just as intelligent as any man is and no less worthy of respect". Seriously. I don't even think sex exists!

[T-O-E]

Not funny. Not even remotely.

1. This is offensive to women. I as a man am offended by it. It is sexist and degrading to consider women pieces of meat that will just randomly sleep with any creep that proposes to them.

2. 7 minutes to satisfy 2 women ? One of which is supposedly a Kamina clone ? You are clearly giving yourself TOO MUCH credit. Oh, and in that time it is included the walk to a room with a bed, the taking off the clothes time...

I find your insinuation that women need you to protect them sexist.

[Calamity]

This is getting us nowhere. Let the people who find Q's comic funny think it was funny, and let the people who didn't think it wasn't.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Seriously. I don't even think sex exists!

Q, I think Bayar is offended by the way it worked out. How the two characters ended up sleeping with Q. Non canon or not, it's still sexist and offensive.

I have changed my mind, then. Because I can think of no reason why it isn't sexist. I think the internet has somehow desensitized me. Q, could you please issue an apology?

The irony is not lost on me that Bayar and I, who are both male, are arguing that it's sexist against women, and DLB, who you can see from her symbol is female (), liked it.

EDIT: Hmm, just noticed that DLB changed his symbol. Oops. In my defense, I actually didn't know about DLB's female symbol until he pointed it out in his video, and thus didn't notice when he changed it.

[Silverraptor]

And I declare a topic change!

Who's with me?

[The Gremlin]

And I declare a topic change!

Who's with me?

Sure. How about discussion on pie vs. cake? Or does that count as politics?

[X2]

What are you guys on about? Q was just showing them both how awesome his matress was. And after seven minutes of sound sleep (they must all have forgotten their pajamas) they awoke.

It was a really good matress!
