Abel's Orientation

[AmigaDragon]

Really, I can't be the only one who's certain Abel likes men.

Has he met any?  Merlitz met one, and they seemed, eventuality, to get along.

As to his orientation, the last I seen him, he was sitting upright.

With regards,
Ted

Men refers to any male character. -i can't believe i have to spell this out-

You certainly dont' have to spell it out to Dan (or Amber).

[Nekoboy]

Curveball, he's an anti-fur. He's into humans! 

No way they only showed 1 human in the comic and noone took a picture before he left and noone bleave that anyone saw him....so no way...I think hes bi...but i didnt know he was a he when i first saw him....I guess im gay for Abel

[Dagardo]

I guess im gay for Abel

We're all gay for Abel, in some way or another.

[Fex]

I hope he turns out straight as an arrow, just so I can watch the internet cry. 

I'm rooting for this outcome. ;-]

your making emo panda even more emo

I, for one, believe his orientation depends on how he lands.

Tail he is gay, heads he is straight. *throws Abel in the air*

[Reese Tora]

Tail he is gay, heads he is straight. *throws Abel in the air*

Realizing, of course, that Able is a cat and will most likely land on his feet, thus perserving the enigma.

[Fex]

but we are talking about Amber's creation those never land on their feet unless something else heavy fell after them

[GundamDragon]

It is posibla that Abe is strate and just random as hell. It is just an idea but still posbla, i have seen some strate guy act as quire as all get out.

Maybe, just maybe, he has no sexual preference. Not in a bi way, he's just not really into either gender in a sexual way. I've met plenty of people like that. It's entirely plausible.

[Azraelle]

He's a freakin' COMIC CHARACTER.  Why does everyone apparently care?  It's not like anything outside of the comic can come from it, and anything IN the comic you'll have to wait for anyway.

[Howl]

We're all different. We can care about thus if we want.

That's called asexual, meaning none. At least no apparent interest in the present.

You can complain about bad spelling on Gamespot/Faqs.

-the rules are too tight here-

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

You're welcome to leave. We won't stop you.

[Ghostwish]

You're welcome to leave. We won't stop you.

But.. you mean.. I can't try to stop him?

I had the trampolines with spikes and everything.. 

[Rakala]

It's okay. Next time Ghostwish. Next time. *pats him on the back*

As to the question of why Amber wants to keep his sexuality a secret: Maybe, just maybe it's because she wants to keep us guessing. This would mean that we haven't learned anything new from that. Except that I can't think of any situation that sentence could have ended with revealing that he's asexual. So I think that is rather unlikely.

[Ghostwish]

I'm telling you. Humans.

[GundamDragon]

Or maby hes just in love with Dans mom there is some histery there if i remember.

[Tapewolf]

Or maby hes just in love with Dans mom there is some histery there if i remember.

Unless they had some kind of lovers' tiff, I think we can disprove that.
Indeed it has been speculated that Dan's comment was a thinly-veiled jibe at forum members etc. who held that theory...

Or maybe hes just in love with Dan's mom there is some history there if i remember.

That's more likely than what Ghostwish seems to think.

Well, in part, it's that he wears skirts.

[Naldru]

Well, in part, it's that he wears skirts.

I thought that it was a kilt.

[Rakala]

Hey, wearing skirts has nothing to do with it. There are thousands of straight cross dressers out there.

[Eagle0600]

Unless you can show me a panel in which Abel is staring at someone's [insert body part] or a reference to a relationship of a romantic nature, I refuse to believe that anyone here save Amber knows ANYTHING about Abel's sexuality.

[Jack McSlay]

Hey, wearing skirts has nothing to do with it. There are thousands of straight cross dressers out there.

yep. I see plenty of those during carnival. Besides, it's a different world with very different concepts of fashion, therefore his taste in clothing doesn't mean much, specially that he's been wearing more casual clothing lately.

[Kesh]

I'm putting my money on pansexual: he's interested in people (and confusing them) more than their gender/gender identity.

Off topic, Abel's reaction there tells me that even after hundreds of years at SAIA he's still a nice guy, despite his denial with Jyras.

Maybe it's just late so I don't get the distinction, how does pan differ from bi? Pan means all, but in a binary system, bi encompasses all (both).

There's not two. There's an interesting range.

There's guys, girls, guys who used to be girls, girls who used to be guys, and that's not getting into the variants like guys who simply like dressing as girls, and vice versa...

Then there's the example of a friend of a friend, who used to be a guy, and is now lesbian, but only with girls who used to be guys...

Don't ask me how that works, by the way. I simply accept that there are weirder things than me, free with your breakfast cereal, in this big wide world.

Let's not get into hermaphrodites, fake or otherwise, XXY, XXXY, and other variants. Once you start to look around, there's an extraordinary range...

[Dagardo]

I try not to focus on sexual orientations too much. I didn't even know how many of them they're were until this discussion even started. I only knew of heterosexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality. Although what boxy says confuses me to great extent.
