2016/01/09 - Not Over Until Its Over

[NathanielKing]

I'm gonna prudently sit the PG one out, but genders are shown to exist as early as august 2008, not only that but they're also implied to be "visible" if one were to look. The "doll" aspect of their genitalia is also implied to be an artistic and PG-friendly choice rather than canonical.

Please understand that I differentiate between gender-identity and genders as organs. Genders are there, I did not question that. Organs of any of that sort are, as you said, "implied", thereby possible, likely so, but not necessarily existent.

Which I do not state as an opinion but as an aspect that should be considered in a discussion that in my point of view builds more and more on top of assumptions, emotions, implications, and less on facts, and drifts away further and further from it's origin: the comic strip.

This applies to Not A Furry's objecting to "the trend of making up... you know what, never mind" too. Have the courage of your convictions or don't say it at all.

It's not about "having the courage", believe me I have a lot to say on the matter and would love to, but as two mods already said, we should keep it civil and that's not the path to go with the conversation. I wanted to point out that I disagree with that point without getting into a discussion that would 100% sure hit the fan, which is completely different from "not having the courage".

Please understand that I differentiate between gender-identity and genders as organs. Genders are there, I did not question that. Organs of any of that sort are, as you said, "implied", thereby possible, likely so, but not necessarily existent.

IIRC there has never been a gender identity conflict in the comic yet, so I don't see the problem with associating genders to organs.

We're a touch off-topic here and treading in somewhat choppy waters, so let's get back to discussing the current comic, please.

[Not A Furry]

Yep. Thread successfully derailed, I'm gonna stop commenting now.

Which would be the second option I said (or don't say it at all), and was really the point of my post.

Steve's always gonna get his mice, I suppose!

[Render]

Not when he continues screaming like that. xD

[GameCobra]

Those poor kangaroos - now they'll be sleeping and dreaming of a cat that knocks down your door and throws mice at you - with his shovel.

[Cyon]

Such a lovely arc. Short but to the point, it's nice to see some more character development for the roos

[Argent]

So, did he mean "rain of blood and terror" or "reign of blood and terror"?

And if he literally means a "rain of blood and terror" I hope he's cleaning up after himself.

[dryideabat]

I enjoyed this little arc. Roosevelt and Bruce: probably one of the more stable couples overall, aside from family tensions over color.
And as Steve proved, every cat has his day... at night.

[VoidGaming404]

why can't you guys just accept what happened and move on? it's just a comic, don't like it or the creators opinions? make your own comic

Because this is the internet, where people argue about everything because they feel anonymous. However, I agree with you, if people don't like what's happening in the comic, nobody is wrenching their arm and forcing them to read it.

I'm a little late and I know everyone's freaking out about this comic for whatever reason, but I just realized something mind blowing!

Guys... I think Grape might be a girl!

*Gasp* How did we not see this before?! The clues have been there all along!

[kuisbright]

They finally kiss on screen after 8 years <3

also...How does one buy the cute couple stickers?? I'm so out of the loop :0

To recapitulate what Rick said on the last page, Bruce and Roosevelt have pretty much always been a couple. I've said, and he's said, they're in a relationship. They're even included in this couples-themed sticker pack (photo by RemonyRavine), so (taken in concert with their appearances in the comic) it's not like their relationship comes out of left field.
