Solarius Scorch:Well, I shall stand by my opinion... Having horny lesbians in a comic is not enough to make it good (it may be a necessity though). But it's just me...
Gabe Puratekuta:Boobs Ahoy is not bad!!
George (for it is he):Eh, I enjoy it, but I can see how someone could reasonably dislike it. Now that you mention it, though, I feel bad for not linking to Venus Envy on the front page too. Venus Envy needs some more love. Venus Envy also needs some more updates...
Solarius Scorch:George... Boobs Ahoy is retarded. I am all out for some silliness, but BA is just bad.
George (for it is he):And this is where you tell me that this wasn't what you were thinking about at all...
George (for it is he):Heh, well, one objection to Eutropia's protrayal that I've often anticipated is that her gender identity seems to be the result of her upbringing, which isn't how it works for transgender people. However, Eutropia isn't transgender in the modern sense - the concept didn't exist back then. There might not even be a term to adequately describe her...
Exy:Honestly? I do have a rant about male/female transgender issues ready, but I feel like I've used up my bitchiness quota for the day.
George (for it is he):Honestly, if people are interested enough in this comic to point out flaws in the logic, I'm a happy man.
Exy:Point sir.(I didnt' mean to sound so bitchy in my question, just ran out of characters)
George (for it is he):Oooh! Me! It bothers me! Seriously though, this is a warrior culture whose royal family traditionally leads the charge into battle, which is a much greater risk than visiting a sympathetic territory (although the relationship between Lesbos and the Amazons is changing, and we'll see how later). And if they DO all die, there's always Deinomache...
Exy:Doesn't it bother anyone that basically the ENTIRE royal family A) went on a diplomatic mission to a country that could very well become hostile,
chartered a random ship, that could have well either sunk or intercepted by enemies, C) brought two generals along with, meaning that if they were killed there would be *no* strong leadership left home sailortitan:Great comic this time ^^
Akko:Yeah sorry George your right. I should probably start thinking about what I type before I type it. To be honest thinking before I act or speak is something I don't much care for.
starcat:the English education system is a marvel. IMO, it sounds pretty nifty, but then I don't have to deal with the bureaucracy and I've always been good at standardized tests. AFAI can tell A-levels are more like AP exams than the SAT. Sort of like a mini-diploma, but with scores. Anyways, there are more major checkpoints than in most US states.
George (for it is he):Those would be GCSEs (unless things have changed since I was at school). I did take tests called SATs at around 14, but they weren't of vast importance. In conclusion: I feel old.
Akkie:...or college depending on the course
Akkie:SAT's are the exams you take when you are 16. The grades you get in your SAT's determin whether you can get into 6th Form to do your A-levels. You usually need 5 C-grades and above to get into 6th Form.
Gabe Puratekuta:Oh, so it's like the SATs or something?
George (for it is he):It's a qualification you can take at age 18. It's changed a bit now, but it used to be that if you stayed on school after 16, you'd narrow down to 3-4 subjects, and study these as A-Levels. The grades you got in them would determine whether or not universities would be interested in you.
Raihosha:Oh masterful one, for those of us who are somewhat baffled by the English educational system... What exactly is an A-level?
Gabe Puratekuta:Something trivial. So I will change the subject by asking just one question: Who might those three be?
George (for it is he):Wait, what were we arguing about again?
sailortitan:D00d, why complain when george is updating? HE'S UPDATING! DON'T JINX US!!
Exy:Apologies, Gabe. But George, there is a difference between calling a woman 'large' and calling her 'fat.' "Large" is what I use when I don't want to sound insulting. "Fat" is when I do want to sound insulting. Or when talking about myself, which I suppose I mean in an insulting way. Wait, now I'm confused.
starcat:I didn't say she looked fat, or even fatter--just that she'd puffed herself up. But I'm pretty sure you could offend an amazon -- "flabby" seems like it'd tick off a large warrior woman.
