Dangerously Chloe 1-10-18 Craving for Men

[OllieOrOlly]

So, male Ted is super gay now? Or super bi? It still doesn't make sense that Al would like the male version, but whatever, stupid, asinine f**king gag! Grumble... Well, the earlier cosmic diversion sparked a little interest even if it took ripping off DBZ power ups, but guess now it's back to the old, tired and painful shtick.
The "harder harder" joke is dumb to begin with, but it makes it questionable what kind of banging is happening at the other end. I guess I should be glad there isn't any barely PG-13 sex scene, though an afterglow scene seems likely, and boy are they hilarious...
Going back a bit, how *nice* that Charity is exploiting the mentally unstable Teddi.

Actually it makes perfect sense, Alchemy has been consistantly showen as being pansexual, the first person Alchemy was showen to be interest in was Teddy, the only other person Alchemy has showen interest in is Chloe and since has consistantly showen interest in both of them reguardless of wether in their male body or female body. And in this case, its AGAIN, Alchemy showing interest in Teddy, just a much mroe attractive Teddy who Alchemy has always been attracted to. How does that not make sense to you?

Pro-tip - ending your paragraph with a snarky rhetorical question is unlikely to convince anyone to change their opinion to yours.
That said, I didn't refute Alchemy's interest in Teddy, however, it was more from the Kimmy side, and also mainly attracted to Teddy's meek yet sincere personality. Also, Teddy wasn't built like a damn young Schwarzernegger when Kimmy was interested in him. And the Al side has shown only sexual interest in female shaped entities, and was in his mind dating the female Teddi, therefore, Al's interest in the new excessively masculine Ted makes no sense.

[OllieOrOlly]

I'm afraid of the thread that's coming

Why it’s all consensual.

I do hope Charity doesn’t scrub Teddi too hard.

Well, the problem with consent was mainly around the human victims that Teddi ensnared. I believe the thread that is feared is due to the comic threatening to become stupid smut yet again, which has sparked discontent in the forum to say the least; back to the consent issue, it was largely compounded because when the plot sucks, people find even more things to tear apart in it.

Jacqui
Ace
Kade

Ace, yes. Being changed into a girl didn't change his orientation, he was still only attracted to girls.
Jacqui was willing to try kissing Mel and Cerise to see what it was like to make out with another girl, so her orientation is debatable.
Kade's a horndog, who'll go for anything with a pulse as long as they give him a chance.

[OllieOrOlly]

So Teddy still likes male Al.

You know he has referred to Al as his boyfriend, i wonder why that doesn't break the contract.

Because if the writers cared about the plot, they would have remembered that detail... Granted, could be that supernatural entities don't qualify and only a human boyfriend/girlfriend would count, and the multitude of sexual partners don't count either because there was no commitment attached?

Could be, that when AL was called boyfriend, it wasn't official because it wasn't made official.

Although, Teddi had attacked Pandora for going after her (Teddi's) boyfriend, which she herself declared in the attack... before it ended up in either Teddi and Pandora banging, or a threeway with Al, I don't care to remember. Anyway, it reinforces the notion that non-humans don't count because both Al and Teddi have made comments about being in a relationship; and besides, what counts as an "official" dating status? At least, in terms of a succubus contract.

[OllieOrOlly]

Oh, good grief. These comics run and hide in terror at the notion that a character might be boring ol’ heterosexual.

Normal human Teddy is heterosexual, it was only when he got injected with succubus blood and reaper ectoplasm that the men-craving started.
Chloe, Pandora, Lucretia, etc. are succubi, they crave men by nature, so they usually fall between Kinsey 0 and 2.
Abby is heterosexual, before and after becoming a succubus.
Teddy's father is heterosexual.
Triana and Naomi are heterosexual, and Lacy believes that she is a lesbian but all her actions point to her being heterosexual (or at least bi).
Chris Montana and most of the school jogs are shown to be heterosexual.
Jacqui Brightmoon is ultra-heterosexual.

So this comic has no shortage of straight people.

My two cents: I think their point was that there are no heterosexual characters that matter.
Teddy's father is straight, but a horribly negligent parent, who also only returned in the strip to become a prop in Pandora's "prank," which she planned in order to get some hatef**king from Teddi.
Abby is quite possibly developmentally delayed at best, or extremely stupid and selfish at worst.
Triana seemed a bit bi (from what I can recall), and Naomi was thrown out of the limits of the story.
The school jocks are shown as hetereo, however, they are irrelevant props, like Teddy's father.
Has Jacqui appeared in the spin-off series? If she did, it was so brief that I can't remember.

It's especially dumb since Charity should have heard the conversation before it. Or perhaps she was just so focused on "cleaning" Teddi just right that she wasn't listening to a single thing she said that wasn't convenient for a joke.

And I have to wonder why just being in a room with Al was enough to get Teddy uncontrollably aroused but being touched by a naked Charity in a bath tub didn't seem to be having any effect on Teddi even though she''s had plenty of sexy fun times with girls.

I just wish the writers could make a minimum effort to be consistent.

And that's without Chloe being left chained up in a basement with possibly only Abby for company.

Yeah... Effort is probably too much to ask, as someone had noted earlier and on different occasions, the preview panel of DC has remained the same for well over a year, and if they don't care to update a simple function, then care for the narrative is a stretch too far.
I don't expect a silly webcomic to be Shakespeare, yet for example, Hamlet features Hamlet; it has scenes with secondary characters without him, but the story is still largely advanced by him. "Dangerously Chloe" is possibly meant to be an adjective or something because Chloe sure as hell has had some of the least influence on the plot, if not least proper panel time. Perhaps I keep getting annoyed at the strip because its hook was seeing further adventures of an interesting side character, not that side character's new, far less engaging supporting cast, most of whom are dull or annoying.

Yes, she was Teddy's childhood crush, but she had no interest in him.

[Linnah]

I'm so glad to _finally_ have a proper m/m gay scene in the story. And when I mean proper, I mean not a fanfic straight out of Pandy's mind, hah!

[Fluffy]

Yay. More Teddy sexual exploits. What a shocker.

So Teddy still likes male Al.

You know he has referred to Al as his boyfriend, i wonder why that doesn't break the contract.

More like it needs to be mutual thing. Teddy can refer to someone as his bf/gf all he wants; but unless his partner feels the same way, the contract remains valid.

That you know of, anyway.

[Cortez]

Al didn't exactly have a problem with Teddy saying he's his boyfriend.

More like it needs to be mutual thing. Teddy can refer to someone as his bf/gf all he wants; but unless his partner feels the same way, the contract remains valid.

Hell has traditionally been very literal in it's approach to the wording of contracts. Teddy asked for a "girlfriend" so a girlfriend it must be. Since we've never seen Kimmy doing anything sexual with Teddy/i only Al I'm sure they'd argue that Teddy hasn't had a girlfriend but a boyfriend.

Not that the writers have been terribly consistent on that point.

Hell's idea of a "girlfriend" was somebody who would sleep with him once and then carry his soul off to Hell. But to break the contract required a "girlfriend" who held him truly in her heart. Which is a very different definition of "girlfriend" and one which - on the face of it - wouldn't even need the two of them to have sex.

Though I do have doubts about the likelihood of the writers considering that a non-sexual relationship could ever qualify as boyfriend/girlfriend one.

thats not a rhetorical question. A rhetorical question isn't really a question but a statment that requires no answer. I wanted an answer from you it was a very open question asking you to explain a thaught process. Not rhetorical. if I'd said "Are you an idiot?" that would be a snarky rhetorical question. As an example.

Anyway, Al and Kimmy arn't seperate people. They are Alchemy, their thaught process and feelings towards someone dosen't change when they swap body (as is evident with the consistant interest in both Teddy and Chloe.) The swap in body just reflects if they are feeling more masculine or more feminine at that moment. Alchemy is attraced to teddy, has been from the start, and in this strip is still showing that same interest that has allways been there. Teddy just got a sexy new body, which alchemy is clearly showing approval over. Don't think of Al and Kimy as seperate people because they arn't they are the exact same person just a gender fluid person who takes the term literally.

[Fluffy]

Al didn't exactly have a problem with Teddy saying he's his boyfriend.

Al may not have said anything about being referred to as Teddy's boyfriend; but, he also didn't seem elated/excited at the concept, either.

The contract made it clear that the other party needed to genuinely love Teddy - having sex wouldn't be enough. Until Al (or Kimmy) echoes Teddy's sentiments and refers to themselves as his bonafide partner the contract is still valid (unless, like others have said, it absolutely needs to be a girlfriend - seeing as that is what Teddy asked for - and Al is disqualified due to being genderfluid).

[Gotoh]

Which is a very different definition of "girlfriend" and one which - on the face of it - wouldn't even need the two of them to have sex.

Though I do have doubts about the likelihood of the writers considering that a non-sexual relationship could ever qualify as boyfriend/girlfriend one.

Layla was Kade's on-again/off-again girlfriend and Dave01 confirmed she's still a virgin. Same with Ace and Brooke. So that's at least two relationships without sex. Three, if you include Nina since she had just started dating Ace by the time EC went on indefinite hiatus.

[dmra]

That's pretty much ancient history though.

There was a time too when Dangerously Chloe was a romantic comedy and look at how that has gone. Chloe is chained up in a basement driven mad with lust while her "boyfriend" is sharing a bed with Al.
