Know what, you really hit the nail on the head.Fairy Glade's Fairy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 31, 2018 2:58 pmI just know that, if a stooge slips on a banana peel and falls, you would be the first to tell everyone how awful it is: he could break his bones, become unable to work, lose his job, and then his family would go hungry, the horror! the awfulness! how could anyone laugh at that? thanks goodness there are clever holy-joes like you to set us straight....
You Fail Humor Forever.
Sorry to disillusion you but I'd heard that joke years before. I thought it was funny then and I still thought it was funny when I saw it here.Vitocap wrote: ↑Sat Mar 31, 2018 9:21 pm
Let's say something like this happened in DC. One of the characters naively murders another character because of a silly misunderstanding of the advice from the emergency services. Can you imagine the storm of hate that would ravage the forum? Fluffy, dmra, EOL and the rest would ask for nothing less than the head of the perpetrator on a platter. They would never accept what happened as a fortuitous mistake, an 'oopsie' moment, a simple joke.
The efforts these stalwarts make in their grim endeavor to reject humor are so great as to be almost heroic. They, indeed, Fail Humor Forever.
This, and agreed on both points.Error of Logic wrote: ↑Sat Mar 31, 2018 9:31 pmhumour is subjective.
People having a different opinion from yours on the subject does not justify attempts to shame and insult them.
Bugs Bunny... heh, good example...Vitocap wrote: ↑Sat Mar 31, 2018 9:21 pmThe really tragic thing is, there is no solution to this conflict. Anything that is funny in this world, anything at all, can be decried as vile and disgusting if you refuse to acknowledge humor. Even a Bugs Bunny cartoon could be condemned as pure evil from Hell if you approach it in this manner. One wonders why all these angry, humorless people keep returning to the forum of a sex comedy webcomic... to vent their hate, I guess?
We live in a world where there are over 300,000 women sexually assaulted every year. That's the real worldview. So if you don't think people would take advantage of a stripper who doesn't understand how the world works, that's just plain naivete.Vitocap wrote: ↑Sat Mar 31, 2018 5:11 amYou see, when you say that "if a naive girl strips in front of horny men they could very easily take advantage of her naiveté" you are working with a particular worldview.

I have a different worldview. Thus, we don't agree. I guess it all boils down to this.
How on earth would that be an 'oopsie' moment? How would you be able to have any sort of liking or respect for a character that stupid enough to believe they needed to kill someone based on a 911 call? If that happened in something like Family Guy, sure, that would make sense. It wouldn't necessarily be funny, but it would fit in the context of the humor as set up in the show.Vitocap wrote: ↑Sat Mar 31, 2018 9:21 pmLet's say something like this happened in DC.

Just out of curiosity what type of job do you do that involves dealing with people regularly denouncing Bugs Bunny as a bad influence?Fairy Glade's Fairy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 01, 2018 3:50 am
Bugs Bunny... heh, good example...
I've lost count of how many times I've had to deal (for work reasons) with hysterical people who denounce the wascally wabbit as a bad influence & wholly inappropriate for children... if you're wondering why, here's the rundown:
Besides, we've had incidents in the DC story where people almost died due to an unforeseen 'oopsie' (Chloe almost killing Teddy during a make out session; and Abby dying after getting a scythe to her forehead in that same chapter). Near as I can recall - none of us went into a childish tirade 'demanding heads on platters' for these scenarios happening; because it was handled exceptionally well and was actually amusing.BioYuGi wrote: ↑Sun Apr 01, 2018 6:12 amBut in DC, the humor up to a point had been, as the rating on the comic said, PG-13. Silly misunderstandings that wouldn't be out of place in a simple harem anime. Goofy stuff like the main character covering their chest in oil for a distraction: http://www.dangerouslychloe.com/strips- ... e_Hormones or shameful perverted fantasies: http://www.dangerouslychloe.com/strips- ... d_bad_girl So straight-out murder would NOT be in the same wheelhouse. It would be like if Tenchi or Keitaro just went and put a bullet in their head.
I did that months ago; not so much because the banner itself, but because the banner is entirely too big. If they'd just resize the thing, it wouldn't be so bad.Also as a tip for anyone: User Control Panel, Board Preferences, Display Options.

Exactly. Context is everything when it comes to humour. Something that's funny in Ma3, a raunchy sex comedy, won't be funny in DC, an, originaly, supernatural teen rom-com with dramatic elements. Just like something that's funny in Archer wouldn't necessarily be funny in My Little Pony.BioYuGi wrote: ↑Sun Apr 01, 2018 6:12 amWe live in a world where there are over 300,000 women sexually assaulted every year.

You have to look at a style of humor as what the media has presented to you. In Three Stooges, we know after one or two episodes that despite hammers, bananas, steel beams, they're never hurt. We establish immediately that the stooges are going to be okay. In Archer, first episode; lots of wacky humor, smart wordplay, and actual death. This means when there are jokes about characters that die, it makes sense because the characters have acknowledged it, they're just bitter and jackasses. Here in DC, we've established that hell, demons, and death but drug overdose (twice), are real, so any sort of joke relating to death becomes muddled when we know there are consequences.
