Dangerously Chloe 10-07-17 About the Stripping

[Fluffy]

Just wait until Teddi learns about online jobs. Then again, if it's all about the pheromones and that's why she made so much money at the club, then it may not work as well.

Also, I may be a little slow, but are we to assume this is the main protagonists' new identity? Will Teddi ever revert back to Teddy, or are they stuck with the new gender that they in no way agreed to? I understand the Ma3-verse likes to deal with all walks of life, including sex and identity (see Ma3 Angel and SDB Romona) but Teddy didn't ask for this. So I wonder how long it will be drawn out.

Up until the point he has full on sex with a dude, I'm betting.

It'll be just 'poof' out of nowhere for mass LOL effect.

[Cortez]

Hehe, the only real kicker here is Teddi MUST be emitting pheromones because hav we had ANY hint that Teddi can dance at all?! xD

Teddi stripped for Eden, remember? She said Teddi was good.

[

It was never said that was Teddy's home life was as bad as you're implying, even after the succubi started meddling with his family.

You forget the whole Pandora screwing his dad and Chloe trying to kill him

It's like he's forgotten the flack he was already getting at school. Once word gets out about what he's doing now, the rumor mill is gonna have a field day. Exactly how is is this supposed to be helping anything?

You are forgetting that he has an entourage now, which is why the other girls stopped bullying Teddi. So Teddi isn't going to get any flack, unless the other girls want to get beat up by Eden and the others.

And Teddi is using a fake i.d.

Besides, the only way any of Teddi's classmates would know would be if they were at the club as well, probably not something they'd want anyone to know.

*double post.

You forget the whole Pandora screwing his dad and Chloe trying to kill him.

No, I haven't forgotten about either of those. That's part of what I was referring to and I don't see how stripping resolves either issue.

You are forgetting that he has an entourage now, which is why the other girls stopped bullying Teddi.

It doesn't matter that Teddy's got a pheromone controlled goon squad protecting him, 'cuz people are gonna talk, regardless.

And Teddi is using a fake i.d.

I'm aware, I even said that in the post that you quoted.

You apparently missed the part where I said a fake ID wouldn't be enough to get him a job, 'cuz the people who run those establishments do background checks before hiring. They have to in order to cover their own asses. If local PD found out a minor was working there, the club owner could face fines and his business possibly be shut down.

Besides, the only way any of Teddi's classmates would know would be if they were at the club as well,.

No, they don't, All it takes is for any of them to see Teddy going in or coming out of there enough times to put 2+2 together.

You also seem to forget that cameras are everywhere these days (i.e. smartphones, tablets, security cameras, etc.) even the 3DS and Vita come standard with one. All it takes is for one person to get Teddy's face, especially if he becomes popular at that club. And if they decide to post it online, it'd only be a matter of time before someone at his school saw it.

[Cortez]

No, I haven't forgotten about either of those. That's part of what I was referring to and I don't see how stripping resolves either issue.

Then you didn't pay attention to this strip, since we have Teddi and Eden talking about why he needs the cash. Specifically so he can get his own place.

It doesn't matter that Teddy's got a pheromone controlled goon squad protecting him

Oh, it matters. Since again, you're ignoring Daisy, Eden and the others are the reason the the others girls at his school stopped harassing him.

If they're going to say something, it won't be to Teddi's face and certainly not while his girl gang is around. Unless you think the other girls are that dumb.

I'm aware, I even said that in the post that you quoted.

Nah, you didn't and you're obviously wrong about them doing a background check since, in case you missed the last panel, Teddi got the job.

No, they don't, All it takes is for any of them to see Teddy going in or coming out of there enough times to put 2+2 together.

That would still require them to be around the area of the strip club, which they would still get in trouble for being there. You still haven't answered why would they be there.

And they would only find it on the internet if they were actively looking for that sort of thing on the internet. Again, not something someone will willingly admit to.


Besides, you're missing the real issue and it's not his classmates finding out. It's the school's faculty finding out, that's where the real issue is. Because Teddi has his female classmates handled.

[Gotoh]

we have Teddi and Eden talking about why he needs the cash. Specifically so he can get his own place.

...which isn't resolving his issues at home. It's running away from the problem.

If they're going to say something, it won't be to Teddi's face and certainly not while his girl gang is around. Unless you think the other girls are that dumb.

Text messaging, chat rooms, e-mails... need I go on? They can do it while Daisy and here crew are sitting right there and they wouldn't know it. You think 4-5 girls can keep tabs on who's saying what?

You're also assuming they're the toughest girls at the school. Remember how everyone assumed Ash was unbeatable 'til Brooke cleaned his clock and almost killed him? Just sayin'.

in case you missed the last panel, Teddi got the job.

I saw the last panel, which is I said someone must be paying the owner not to ask questions.

That would still require them to be around the area of the strip club.

You're kidding yourself if you think none of these girls have internet service.

And they would only find it on the internet if they were actively looking for that sort of thing on the internet.

Are you serious? I've had notifications pop up in my playlist while I'm on YouTube, about things unrelated to what I'm viewing.

It doesn't even have to be anyone at his school that uploads the video. As long as it's online, any of his classmates can see it and they don't necessarily have to search for it. Someone could just as easily link it to them. We even have a section like that here (i.e. the 'pimp your favorite videos' thread).

So, did a little digging. The legal age of consent in Canada is 16, with a close-in-age exception for sexual activity of 5 years. You have to be 18 to be a stripper. However, the reason for that would appear to be those establishments typically serve alcohol and 18 is the drinking age. If accurate, the worst thing Teddi is guilty of is sneaking into a bar underage.

Is this comic set in Canada? I know Ma3 is in Montreal, but I've never been certain where this took place.

Age of consent is 16 in Canada (though I think most people would be uncomfortable with a 16 year old being in a sexual relationship with someone much older than them), and there doesn't seem to be anything in the legal code specifically about stripping, but Toronto for instance apparently won't issue a license to anyone under 18. The fact that Teddy needed a fake ID and to lie to Eden's cousin about being in college doesn't lend itself especially to it being legal or accepted however.

It may also be worth noting Canadian law does classify 18 as the cut off for something being considered child pornography (there have been cases of teens being charged with distribution for sexting for instance), and while not an exact comparison, given the rather implicit sexual nature of stripping there may be applicability.

Perhaps also of interest if that did apply, the "Not Knowing" defence is apparently invalid if the person did not take reasonable steps to determine their age, so if the proprietor didn't background check Teddy thoroughly they could be in serious trouble.

Ok, wow, now we have underage stripping. Yikes, this is just getting into new territories of skeevy.

I wondered how much time would it take for this kind of post to appear. It seems, not a lot

Sorry, I apologize if I'm being thick here but I'm not sure how to read this post. Agreeing? Disagreeing? Mocking?

Up until the point he has full on sex with a dude, I'm betting.

It'll be just 'poof' out of nowhere for mass LOL effect.

I'm really hoping it doesn't go that far. This entire arc seems to be more about how many creepy uncomfortable situations can we get Teddy in than plot furtherance.

[brasca]

we have Teddi and Eden talking about why he needs the cash. Specifically so he can get his own place.

...which isn't resolving his issues at home. It's running away from the problem.

Well Teddi really doesn't have any options. A lot of what Teddi has been doing is to stabilize and cure Chloe, but it's taking time. And as for Pandora the only solution to that would be to pay Naomi's house a visit and see if Prudence and possibly Charity could get rid of her succubus problem.

If they're going to say something, it won't be to Teddi's face and certainly not while his girl gang is around. Unless you think the other girls are that dumb.

Text messaging, chat rooms, e-mails... need I go on? They can do it while Daisy and here crew are sitting right there and they wouldn't know it. You think 4-5 girls can keep tabs on who's saying what?

You're also assuming they're the toughest girls at the school. Remember how everyone assumed Ash was unbeatable 'til Brooke cleaned his clock and almost killed him? Just sayin'.

What does it matter what they say behind Teddi's back? As long as no one snitches to the adults everything is fine. And yes those tough girls are not invincible since Gabrielle and Tandy made short work of them, but Teddi's pheromones make it difficult for them to get close or get back up since the last thing they need is Ash or Faith under her thrall.

That would still require them to be around the area of the strip club.

You're kidding yourself if you think none of these girls have internet service.

And they would only find it on the internet if they were actively looking for that sort of thing on the internet.

Someone could just as easily link it to them. We even have a section like that here (i.e. the 'pimp your favorite videos' thread).

Although Teddi's intelligence has been questionable lately I think she's smart enough to wear a disguise when entering the club. A lot of strippers do that to avoid unwanted attention so it doesn't matter if someone is taking pictures outside. Inside the club may be a different matter since the establishment might have a strict policy about patrons taking pictures. Teachers could still witness Teddi perform, but if they did then they would be revealing that they went to a strip club and students would have to find a fake ID provider to get in, but even if they do it's still their word against hers. Moreover, this is really a short term solution for Teddi's problem and I doubt she'll make a career of it long enough for anyone to get any photographic dirt anyway.

[JoybuzzerX]

I don't recall. Has he not had sex with a guy yet? Has he just been blowing them?

[brasca]

I believe Teddi is saving herself for the right man who will then get an offer he cannot refuse once he's proven himself. That being said I'd say Teddi has gone all the way with the groupies.

[Cortez]

...which isn't resolving his issues at home. It's running away from the problem.

It's a solution to earning money So he can afford an hotel room, which in turn it's a solution to him not getting killed by Chloe while he sleeps.

Text messaging, chat rooms, e-mails... need I go on?

You.....you do realize that none of that would be to Teddi's face, right? You're just proving my point. As long as they aren't harassing Teddi himself, I'd doubt he'd care about gossip.

You're also assuming they're the toughest girls at the school.

Do you have proof to the contrary? I mean, Daisy was able to handle those two big girls by herself, so i think they're fine

They're not in Gabby or Tandy's league, but they appear to be able to handle regular high school girls just fine.

I saw the last panel, which is I said someone must be paying the owner not to ask questions.

Eden already explained how she'd get Teddi the job.

You're kidding yourself if you think none of these girls have internet service.

And you're kidding yourself if you'd think they'd so easily admit they were looking up strippers on the internet.

Are you serious? I've had notifications pop up in my playlist while I'm on YouTube, about things unrelated to what I'm viewing.

I think you're confusing YouTube with a NSFW site. Teddi certainly doesn't have to worry about any video of himself stripping ending up there. Other sites, sure, but unlikely sites high school girls would frequent.

Once again, the teachers would be the main concern.

[Gotoh]

A lot of what Teddi has been doing is to stabilize and cure Chloe, but it's taking time.

Sure, but that should be Chloe's concern rather than his. All she's done lately is mope around the house. It hasn't even occurred to her to ask her mother for advice.

What does it matter what they say behind Teddi's back?

It matters to him, judging from his reaction to what those girls in the library had to say about him. Joining a strip club is only gonna add fuel to the fire.

Teddi's pheromones make it difficult for them to get close or get back up since the last thing they need is Ash or Faith under her thrall.

I wouldn't be so sure. Ash has anti-magic talismans, I'm not sure if that'd protect him from Teddy's pheromones, but it was enough to protect him from a 1-hit KO by Mel without injury. And given what all Faith has resisted so far, I'd find it less likely to work on her either.

Teachers could still witness Teddi perform, but if they did then they would be revealing that they went to a strip club and students would have to find a fake ID provider to get in.

I keep saying it doesn't have to be anyone from his school who sees him.

Case in point (real life example): a girl almost wound up facing felony charges over a fake ID and only got out of it because the judge took pity on her. The article refers to her by the fake name on the ID she was using, but scroll down to the comments section and you'll see several of her classmates knew exactly who she was -- and none of them were present when she got picked up. But they still found out about it.

That incident happened back in 2009. With cameras being virtually omnipresent and information sharing technology being what it is today, the odds of Teddy keeping this under wraps for long are unlikely.

[Gotoh]

Do you have proof to the contrary?

There wasn't any proof that Brooke could defeat Ash either, until she did it.

Point being, just because we haven't seen anyone at their school match Daisy and her crew yet, doesn't mean there isn't someone there who might be able to.

I think you're confusing YouTube with a NSFW site.

You'd be surprised by how many YT videos are NSFW. That's why you have to verify your age to even view them and I've had videos like it pop up in my playlist without having to do a search.

[Suntiger]

Haha, well, that's one solution. I'm sure this isn't going to come back to bite Teddi in the ass at all.
To be fair, I know stripping has paid for a number of college educations. I'm more iffy on it as a plan to get money to lay low without a paper trail.
New stripper rising rapidly in fame? That's going to lead to talk, possibly even a newspaper/newssite article - and you're back in the sights of the hunter, Teddi.

[Error of Logic]

#$&* damn it, Teddi....
All it takes is one unstable guy to get a whiff of pheromones, and something horrible will happen.

*sigh* There are other ways to get money.
Bless Eden for trying to look out for Teddi, but she could have recommended halfway houses or maybe the Salvation Army until Teddi had some money saved up.

As to the whole debate whether Teddi should worry about the girls at school finding out: YES, she should. Rumours spread behind her back can easily be just as destructive as insults spat in her face. Nasty rumours spread like wildfire. And Chloe has access to that school.
Even if Teddi is not ostracized, slut-shamed, or seen as an "easy" girl and denied the option of saying no, her escape attempt will be all for naught if the demons pick up her trail.
