Heeheeheehee. "Everything I have done is gay." Perfect response, but a second opinion would be a good thing. But really, I don't think that Jy is "fooling himself," considering all of the anguish and grief he's gone through over this dilemma and the fact that Abel just made Jy confront his own feelings for Dan, and that led to Jy's Abelcrush.
By the way, I have to say this. People mispronouncing my name as "Jyrras" is one thing. But people misspelling Jyrras' name to make it closer to Jairus... that makes me giggle a little.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-AHAHAHA! HURRK, can...breath...laughing...too...hard. *colapses* :giggle
I'm pretty sure the internet is 100% correct.
I mean.
Why would it lie?
"Everything I have done is gay"... A decent majority of DMFA could be qualified as gay. But please note the first two definitions of the word gay from dictionary.com
1. having or showing a merry, lively mood
2. bright or showy
Thing can be so much fun if you use a different definition of the same word sometimes.
Yes, the internet, repository of all sorts of baseless accusations of "gayness".
Next will come the "Male enhancement" ads associated with reading the Comic.

If you've been using the internet enough throughout your life, it doesn't take long to see everything. Though you may want to stay away from some things as they are better left unseen. You all know what it is so I won't say it by name.

Okay, I guess you'd know better than I do.... For my part I tend to stick to sites I'm familiar with and not "branch out" a whole lot unless I need to, but I really thought it would take longer than that....
Claiming that homosexual behavior is everywhere is nothing new. Frank Wertham made that comment about Batman and Robin in the 1950's, not to mention his discussion about Wonder Woman.
May I also suggest that while Amber is catching up on other things, she should also catch up on sleep and rest.

Not on this forum, (un)fortunately.
To be fair, that read might be refering to the Comixpedia entry for DMFA which refers to Abel as such:
QuoteAbel
Abel is a gay, feline incubus more than 400 years old. Unlike Dan, he is one of the top students at SAIA. Abel uses cool, prickly attitude and distancing mechanisms to maintain a solitary life. Abel has been banned from the SAIA library due to the "Library Incident." (Much like the "Noodle Incident" of Calvin and Hobbes fame, it has never been described yet it has been referenced on occasion.) He has also been hell for the resident advisers, who have to find him new, untraumatized roommates as often as once a semester. Abel feels most 'cubi are terribly cruel, especially his former teacher, Destania. His backstory is being developed in a two-part mini-arc called "Abel's Story" on the DMFA site.

Actually, judging from all available concrete evidence (i.e. interest he's shown in either gender) I'd have to conclude that he's very possibly just a very advanced genus of protozoan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoeba).
At the very least, it would explain the ever-moving spots. :3

Oh, that's easy to explain: he's screwing with people's minds. You see, whenever someone blinks or look away, Abel just subtly shifts his spot's positions, except for the nine on his cheeks. And that person thinks, "Hey, his spots have moved!" But since he's so covered in spots, how do they know for certain that the spots have moved, or that they're not just not paying enough attention? Heheheheh. It's all just a part of his jerkass facade.

I like the way you think.
I wonder if the internet fandom would collapse if Abel were just disinterested as a whole, regardless of whoever was straight or gay for him.

There's nothing wrong with it. It's the exact quote from the Expert Corporation's spokesperson, Mr. J. S. Agree, on Abel's tendencies.

Call me a non believer, but I think Abel is straight and just plays it gay to tick people off- look how well it has worked on Dan. And on a side note, the internet is the new street, meaning there is truth to be found, but you have to go through a lot of "my friends cousin said he heard it from a friend who knows it from his dad" type of info.

And anything that gets put on it becomes infected by 'teh gey syndrome'... but at least it's not the infection from the other half of the Internet... *shudders and will not speak of its contents*
I'm not gay for Abel! Then again, I don't want to see any fox-spidetaur with Abel pics out there so I may just be saying that to stay safe! :D
Personally, I think he is bi. Cubi can shapeshift and I am reminded of a line from a dang good story, though high in squick-factor (which I can't name here, due to content).

Of course it's been considered; for all of five seconds. Then they went off and decided that 'OMG, he's so gay and I can prove it!' or 'He's totally straight and you can see that here, here and here.'; and just like that, they were set in their opinion and won't change even if Amber tells them exactly what Abel's sexual orientation is. It's just one of the most common traits of fans; they decide that they know everything about that particular character and wouldn't change if God himself appeared before them and told them that they were wrong.
Granted, there are some exceptions, but that's how most of them are.

This reminds me. I always had some weird urge to draw a "cheesecake furry" of the bunny with a pancake on it's head.
Also, word for the wise: Don't bring up Rule 34... because it leads to Rule 35:
If somebody finds something that there is not porn of, they are immediatly obliged to make it to keep the sanctity of Rule 34.

Well, to a certain degree. Somehow, I doubt that Jyrras is going to be using any tables in a fashion like Nina did, or snap and go crazy and try to kill everyone when his crush gets killed, and reveal himself to be a creaturephobic asshole. That doesn't entirely sound like Jyboy.
I sure hope Abel doesn't get killed. That would just be the cherry on the sundae of suckage that is his life.

I remember Amber saying that she does get rule 34 type drawings from fans while everyone watch her play Dead Space over the net. I only come across one pic so far though.
Abel strikes me as extra shy about that sort of thing and does seem to do everything he can to get off subject. After a few hundred years I imagine he got reeeeallly good at it.

Look at the current comic. Now look again. If you still aren't seeing it, you really need to work on the things your mind is unconsciously filtering out.
It's funny because it's true.
I've always viewed Abel as asexual. Throughout the comic so far, he really hasnt shown any sexual interest in anyone at all, male or female. As for the random crossdressing; crossdressing doesnt necessarily determine sexuality, simply a curiousity in cross gender fashion.....
Or an acknowledgment that you look great in skirts

He's never shown sexual interest, but he's certainly acted more femenine than most of the female cast, from time to time.
The sexuality of shapeshifters is an interesting topic, but not hard to really figure out. Considering gender is basically optional for them, they're pretty much free to go after whatever they want, as they can be whatever gender or race they want. The entire psychology and mentality behind their preferences leans towards bisexuality as the norm, at least once they've fully developed their shapeshifting abilities. I would even go so far as to say that heterosexuality would be considered a deviation for them, probably the same way homosexuality is for humans. When you talk about and consider their actions and reactions towards other people of the same or different gender, you must always keep in mind that they only vaguely think similarly to you. Their minds work off a totally different set of priorities, so even body language and word choice isn't reliable for determining intent and reasoning.
My opinion of Abel: I haven't a clue. Keep in mind Abel is first and foremost a manipulator, so if you think he's gone around showing his true feeling at every turn, you'd be wrong. He told Jyrras to go with his feelings because Abel doesn't like people pretending to be what they aren't, but he still has his defenses up himself (who said he isn't able to contradict himself a little - it's called a character flaw, people have them, I know, weird right?). I don't think he so much acts like what he's not, than he just doesn't let people in. He's usually either off-putting, cold, and sarcastic or displaying muted emotions at best, so reading him is a damn difficult challenge.

That and spending 400 years with other shapeshifters who are permanently 20-something is liable to have some side-effects.
QuoteHe [Abel] told Jyrras to go with his feelings because Abel doesn't like people pretending to be what they aren't, but he still has his defenses up himself (who said he isn't able to contradict himself a little - it's called a character flaw, people have them, I know, weird right?).

He's usually either off-putting, cold, and sarcastic or displaying muted emotions at best, so reading him is a damn difficult challenge.
I suspect it's just that he's damaged goods. It's the simplest explanation.
Abel's real hatred seems to be of people maliciously impersonating others, e.g. what Aniz did with Cid. Pretending that he (Abel) is different to how he really is inside isn't exactly the same thing, it's probably just a defence mechanism.

You're overthinking it, based on your own preferences (I would guess). Amber has said that whle they can _look_ like anything they want, males can't use shapeshifting to get pregnant. This suggests that females can't use shapeshifting to impregnate other non-Cubi females, either (although from memory she didn't say it in as many words).
As a result... while they might play the field, so to speak, I'm betting they still have preferences. And, as with any large group of people, those preferences vary from person to person.
In short - they're just people. Just like everyone else.
Oh, I agree. I'm just saying, "playing the other game" wouldn't be some sort of weird "out-there" taboo for them, as most of them can rather easily try it from both points of view. My other point was that they don't use human logic, they use Cubi logic, so to assume too many similarities is taking a lot for granted. Certain instinctual things as breeding and eating are pretty much the same, but when you introduce optional gender (but not full biology, as Amber said), the sexuality becomes much more separated from reproduction and open to deviation than with our boring, single-form bodies. Bring in nigh-immortality and all of a sudden we're not even in the same ballpark, let alone playing the same game. Maybe I overestimated the ratio of straight-to-bisexual by saying it was probably inverted compared to humans, but I doubt it isn't considered common at the very least.
Huzzah for extended discussions on totally peripheral matters in a fictional world. But hey, just shows we love it.

Not just too much, entirely! All humanity does is in the name of procreation and that is a fact! 99 % of all the actions of any person are done with the conscious or subconscious thought of impressing a member of the opposite sex. And that goes for normal humans, who I think are most closely realted to beings in the DMFA world, now imagine an emotion crazed demon and apply this to it. It's a wonder they don't go around humping at sight!

Here's the real question.
Why does sexual orientation of a character -matter- so much? :b
People think too much with their genitals.
No, people like to think what they can do to who with their genitals.
I see the infamous 'Abel's sexuality' question is still raging in everyone's minds.
Just so everyone knows: If you put it on Wikipedia, it DOES become true.

Not just too much, entirely! All humanity does is in the name of procreation and that is a fact! 99 % of all the actions of any person are done with the conscious or subconscious thought of impressing a member of the opposite sex. And that goes for normal humans, who I think are most closely realted to beings in the DMFA world, now imagine an emotion crazed demon and apply this to it. It's a wonder they don't go around humping at sight!

I get them from me! Keep your books, my mind is set! 8)

But if you change what is on Wikipedia, then that also becomes true...
Oh gods... WIKIPEDIA IS A REALITY WARPER. We must destroy it!

I've always viewed Abel as asexual. Throughout the comic so far, he really hasnt shown any sexual interest in anyone at all, male or female. As for the random crossdressing; crossdressing doesnt necessarily determine sexuality, simply a curiousity in cross gender fashion.....
He's never shown sexual interest, but he's certainly acted more femenine than most of the female cast, from time to time.
So that just means he's androgenous...... :rolleyes
(ps- Looking back at some of the older comics, Abel actually admits in a Question from the Viewers panel that he is androgenous, but all male. Take that how you will....)
Eheheh... Well, I happen to have seen a -certain- Rule 34 picture that Amber herself drew, and I can definitely say for sure Abel is NOT straight. He's any of the rest, although he did that just to get him to shut up. >:3
No, I will not link or tell what it is here, so You'll have to use your imagination. Of course, you could email to ask about it. :mowwink

We can both say that, for I know of the picture you speak of. And it doubly confirms something else we all already knew as well. :3 What it is I won't say, simply for those who don't know what it is.

What makes you think that that image (any of them - I'm aware of at least three that match the descriptions so far) are canon?

I said they were canon? If I did I apologize, that's not what I meant to say. I was trying to say something else and I can't remember what. And looking at my previous post isn't helping at all. Listening to music kinda makes me brain dead.

Who else here thinks that Jyrras from DMFA and Nina Einstein from Code Geass have similar personalities?
They're both intellectuals, they're both sensitive, and they both develop homoerotic crushes for other characters in their settings. :P
Well, to a certain degree. Somehow, I doubt that Jyrras is going to be using any tables in a fashion like Nina did, or snap and go crazy and try to kill everyone when his crush gets killed, and reveal himself to be a creaturephobic asshole. That doesn't entirely sound like Jyboy.
I sure hope Abel doesn't get killed. That would just be the cherry on the sundae of suckage that is his life.
I wouldn't be quite that certain (regarding Jyrras), given http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_102.php ...

I do believe you and TheWhiteChild were attempting to suggest that Abel's gender preferences are known.
Which I was taking exception to, as those images are the result of Amber's diseased imagination (and anyone who's talked to her knows just how diseased I'm talking about) and hence not admissible as evidence, either for or against. So far as canon images can be said, we really don't know one way or the other.
Now that I give it some thought, I guess I was saying as much. It seems that all I can say now is what Tapewolf did, "wishful thinking". Although I apologize again, I wasn't thinking very clearly when I was typing that. I wasn't trying to suggest anything. I guess I just assumed it was an "unseen occurrence", which I now realize that there's a great chance it wasn't. And I take back whatever I may have implied.
Hooo man.. if everything that was ever drawn of my character was true and canon (even some of the stuff drawn by me)... he'd have a hard time calling himself a monk.

Oh, I wasn't criticising. Merely suggesting that some folks might have taken it a bit far, is all.
We're all friends here, right?

OK, I'll take your word on it, although it's probably better that such conversation topics be steered clear of in the future, if just to avoid any single minded people we may encounter. By "conversation topics I of course mean
anything that has to do with any characters (probably Abel's) orientation, or any such related topic.
And lets hope were all friends here, should be a lot less trouble that way.

It's easy to pounce on a little fan service sometimes.
Or you can just sit back and appreciate... >:3
