To my eye, she looks like Laura from the *C 'Verse.

Yeah see, even that is pretty aggravating. I honestly don't care that people dislike Dillon (though I think the constant whining is incredibly tedious and sad to read) but once you start talking about assaulting a fictional character, you've crossed the line of sane discussion. How on earth is anyone supposed to take someone seriously if all they bring to the table is "I want to kick this imaginary person's ass" or "I don't like him so I want to shoot him in the head WHY DOES NO ONE TAKE ME SERIOUSLY"?Abraxas wrote:Maybe kicked in the nuts or a mild ass kicking...but bullets really should be reserved for truly deplorable behavior.
The earlier strip looked like he was older, yes, but it also sounded like he didn't think he was gay at all then "You must be doing it wrong." So it goes to the idea that he couldn't admit to himself he may have found a guy attractive.Spidrift wrote:I'd guess that Dillon was about 17-18 in that earlier strip (we do know he was still in high school), and as he doesn't seem to have been too seriously worried by his complete lack of response to women, he had indeed presumably come to terms with being gay by then, or he was getting there fast. (He was maybe dabbling with the idea that he might be bi, and Liz and Lisette were willing to help check.) He looks more 14-15 in this strip, and very confused and possibly in denial, rather than having fully accepted that he was gay; he'd noticed that he responded to men and not to women, but he didn't like the situation.JoybuzzerX wrote:I would think this is just a dream being a dream or they retconned Dillion's background, as a past comic had him with two (or three) girls and him wondering why he couldn't get it up, as he hadn't realized he was gay yet, and this comic would suggest he's younger than the pervious flashback and already realizes he's into guys but can't admit it.
So we can deduce that he had his breakthrough to accepting his own sexuality late in his high school years, but not before they were over. (He somehow managed to lose the glasses and get a better hairstyle in the process. If he starts bullying Ruby towards contact lenses or laser surgery, he's going too far.) That's earlier than the cliche-plot normally assumes, but not impossibly early.

Me, I'd strictly limit myself to pinning him to the wall by the throat - not hard enough to cause pain, just hard enough to prevent speech. Aside from the blessed relief from the camp blathering, it'd allow someone to yell at him uninterrupted for ten minutes or so about his inconsiderate stupidity. Which really does need doing.Optimus Kate wrote:ENOUGH WITH THE VIOLENCE PLZ.
To be honest, I think that we have got a bit of a character retcon here - but I don't think that the writers have totally blown out consistency. Younger-teen Dillon, in yesterday's strip, was clearly confused; I don't think that he necessarily understood that he was gay, he just knew that he didn't want to date girls, he got hot and bothered when a guy put an arm around him, and oh god oh god is there something wrong with me? Whereas the older Dillon of the older strips had clearly stopped worrying so much, and wasn't so hung up about his non-hetero reactions; whether or not he was calling himself "gay", he was a lot less worried than any man would be who thought he was straight and who didn't perform in those circumstances.JoybuzzerX wrote:The earlier strip looked like he was older, yes, but it also sounded like he didn't think he was gay at all then "You must be doing it wrong."

The violence fantasies do nothing to help the case against Dillon-as-he-is-today. Absolutely nothing. They don't work as a metric, they're not useful evidence, and they sure as heck aren't arguments. They weaken the case, by weakening the authority of the people who use them. There are some people I'm never, ever going to mind annoying.Spidrift wrote:The violence fantasies aren't fun, honestly, and have earned one or two people places on my Foes list, but they're an interesting metric for just how annoying Dillon can be for some people.
reading comprehension much?Optimus Kate wrote:Okay, dude, really?crimzontearz wrote:His back story comic is not growth, it just explains how he became the **** we want to shoot in the head.
I've always found your weird violent fantasies about the characters pretty absurd, but "shoot in the head"?
Is that REALLY necessary? I know Dillon is a fictional character but do you think you can tone down the violent mental imagery just a little bit? You sound like a total psychopath sometimes.
I don't know....but if you ask me it is rather obvious I was talking about TIM and his back story comic Bioware put out before ME3 and not Dillon. Spoiler alert....it was an analogycrimzontearz wrote: Sure, the opinions on a character can change....through character growth FORWARD character growth, not retroactive pity parties that explain to us how he got where he is.Case in point, TIM from ME2/3.

I suppose I could try that, you're right. Does it make a noticeable difference for you? Can you still see things that people quote?Spidrift wrote:Kate...
