In Didi's defense her previous suitors probably didn't care much for communication which set the pattern. Perhaps Kiley tried to teach her something about communication, but she probably didn't listen because she had orgasms on the brain.
But the difference is that, when Zii voiced her doubts that what they had wasn't strictly physical (as Sonya tried to warn her about - twice in the same afternoon); Didi went out of her way to reassure Zii that that what they had was true love because they had similar interests outside of sex.brasca wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2018 2:00 pmIn Didi's defense her previous suitors probably didn't care much for communication which set the pattern.

I like that reason for the picture was worked into this story.
I don't see that at all. Didi went out with and dumped guys on a whim, she wasn't used by them, she was always in control and quite pro-active when it came to sex and did enjoy it to a degree even without orgasms. Plus she always convinced the guy that she was getting just as much out of it. Unfortunately her body is an orgasm producing machine for men to such an extreme that none of them questioned if she could be faking.TheFoolishOne wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2018 2:21 pmbut to be fair, men have been using Didi for years, so when she is finally getting something out of it other than, 'so, I'm supposed to lay here, is that IT??' everyone started hating on her (mostly guys it seems too)
You, sir, show excellent good taste.worldshaking00 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2018 3:16 pmNot sure if Panel 4 was an Utena-related cosplay, but I approve.
I've been thinking the same thing for a while now. This is the worst sort of double standard. It's so barefaced and flagrant, the mind, it boggles.TheFoolishOne wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2018 2:21 pmSelfishness runs rampant when talking sex it seems, but to be fair, men have been using Didi for years, so when she is finally getting something out of it other than, 'so, I'm supposed to lay here, is that IT??' everyone started hating on her (mostly guys it seems too)
Except that they've actually taken her a very long way, because they're Magic DiDi Funbags. She's only hitting their limits now, after all.
Well, egocentricity and dimness are the baseline for characters in this comic. But DiDi raises them several levels above everyone else.TheFoolishOne wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2018 2:21 pmSo, Didi has the same problem that Yuki had when she discovered Gary's star power.
I agree. I don't think that Didi was ever "used" by her previous suitors at all. It's hardly their fault Didi didn't orgasm, because she never actually TOLD them! I'm sure if Eric, or even that waitor guy knew she wasn't "getting there," they would have taken steps to help her reach orgasm. But she never said anything. She just assumed that they were poor lovers. Frankly, I don't think her orgasms with Kiley, or her current orgasms with Zii have much to do with their talents as lovers, so much as the fact that for once in her sex life, there has been some variation of connection/communication (however poor it might be). No two lovers are alike, and there can be a learning curve when it comes to bedroom action. Honestly, I think it was Didi's tendency to go through men like kleenex that kept her from achieving orgasm for so long. Maybe if she had actually stuck with one, communicated with him, and actually made the effort to remember his NAME, she would have gotten there soonerVaranus wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2018 4:35 pmI don't see that at all.

And I'd say Matt got just as much hate for his selfishness, if not more, with it only getting mitigated when he made some small efforts to improve himself. If anything Didi got away with her behavior for so long without so much backlash from readers simply because for years the comic played it off as innocence/naivety on her part and that nobody of importance to the story was actually being all that hurt by her. That all changed when she got with Kiley and we really started to delve into the ramifications of how Didi treats other people and how she seems to not understand love.
Men never used Didi. If anything, she was using them. If you'll recall, she couldn't even be bothered to remember their NAMES! And it's not like they didn't CARE if she was getting an orgasm, she just NEVER TOLD THEM! Remember how that waiter guy was completely shocked when he heard that? And it was pretty obvious that Didi didn't care about ANY of the men she had previously been with. She dumped Eric and the waiter via text so she could have a shot at Sandra, and threw Matt away for a shot at Gary. As far as I can see, there is no double-standard at work here. If anything, it's a double-standard that Matt got backlash right away, while it's taken this long for people to quit making excuses for Didi.Vitocap wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2018 7:58 pmI've been thinking the same thing for a while now.
