Title: I was going through the archives and something occured to me...
Post by: Psy-Kosh on February 17, 2007, 10:55:40 PM
There has been some discussion and speculation on this forum with regards to Jy's virginity or lack theirof.

Now, all I want to know is if http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_403.php should be considered to have any bearing on the question. :)

that proves nothing. By your reasoning Jy would have already impregnated Wildy, Alexsi, and Lorenda.

Huh? howso? And all I asked is if it had any bearing on the question. Technically, I didn't assert that it did. :) (yeah, silly mood tonight)

Honestly, and without the smug buttness that some of the other people on the forum are giving. (Yes I'm looking at you Zedd)  The answer to someones virginity goes into the whole debate on what makes someone a virgin.  Be it the lack of knowledge, lack of particular experience, or an actual physical relation up to a certain point.  Some might argue that people who engage in cyber-antics are not virgins, while those who only proceed to a certain level of actual in-contact intimacy are.

But more importantly, a random gag like that was meant more to make people laugh at the scenario than to imply anything else.

What theory? I once again emphasize that all I did was ask a question about whether something may possibly have bearing on a different question. O:)

I know. And my question (I guess this wasn't as obvious as I'd thought it was) was meant to be taken as a joke. ie, I'd noticed a bit of.... speculation on the topic here, then as I was going through the archives happened to come across that strip, and I just couldn't resist. :)

That's what I figured, but I have to keep up the reputation of the somber know-it-all creator thus give answers that are truthful because if I try to have fun or joke about...someone will likely take it as truth and then I have to deal with people misusing the info or going "Oh ho! Looks like Amber made a goofup!"

Such a tragic life I lead. :P

Then in the intrests of somber know-it-all-ness, If you're controling a mech which is such a good imitation that a member of the species that the mech imitates finds it.. interesting, and Events Transpire(tm), to what extent does the fact that things happened to the poor mech affect the status of the pilot of the mech.

And if the pilot was also a politician, exactly what would the later mudslinging smear campaign ads look like? (This, of course, being the critical question on which future international diplomacy may hinge)


Tragedy indeed. I don't know how you put up with it.

Tech Janson makes no sense, except for the time travel episode, that one was absolutely  hillarious!!!

I was laughing for hours after seeing that one.

Still, ya gotta admitt a Tech Janson parody with Jyrras would be comedy gold.

Well, I think at most it means that particular robot is no longer a virgin, and Jyrras has another story to tell around the inn table during drunken bawdy revelries... Or at least another anecdote to tell his Therepist.   :P

But since he was piloting the mech, the mech could be perhaps considered a logical extension of him...

But yes, definately something for his therapist.

And is it just me, or do the ideas of "drunken bawdy revelries" and Jyrras just seem to not go together?  :erk

Well that's definately going to take the Platinum wash down at the old Drive 'n Drip to clean up THAT mess.  But as far as Jy's virginity, I doubt it has any bearing. XD  We still won't know for sure unless we see something definative (which I doubt because it's not really that important).

That poor machine though... Oh well at least the griffin had a good time.

Guh, your first paragraph brings up memories of Catholic high school, and discussions of Innocence, Chastity, Virginity, and Celibacy.... :P

Right now as i know in the comics that Jy-Jy is a card carrying union labeled VIRGIN! If he's is not then he should be hittin on Abel and Lorenda during the same day for a date. As I know what Amber will do next to address this is totaly up to her. But I like Jy-Jy all inexperienced and virgin like that movie the 40yr old Virgin funny as hell you should see it *shameless plug*.

Have you ever been told how irritating some of your behavior is? It's annoying for me to see anyone say "As I know what [insert random name here] will do next to address this is totaly up to [insert appropriate pronoun]" or anything similar. And ease up on the M key.

If what you feel is condescending then that's what I'm impying here i'm just having some fun being some what a keen eye to know things plot wise most of the stuff I say from time to time is just lucky guesses or bad guesses at point. But if I came accross to you with my condescending attitude then forgive me that is not my direction of my mannerisms.

All other considerations aside, DMFA is, at its heart, a gag strip.  You read it, and you laugh.  When you start taking every gag seriously and question the continuity of the story, you defeat the purpose of the comic, and quite possibly lose at life as well.

ShiningShadow, unless you have a good excuse (ie, you are still in the process of learning English) please... make sense.  Or, you know, I'm going to have to ban you for an undetermined period to give you the free time to study an english textbook.  Enough is enough.

I don't think that sexual prowess is usually something that's important in relationships.  It's not uncommon for one partner to be more experienced than the other- and Abel will just be much, much more experienced.  With someone that age, I doubt he expects to find a significant other that has been around the block as many times, unless he's dating another cubi.

I'm not sure about that.  On the face of it, it looks like Abel shies away from any and all relationships, so apart from seduction classes and any other coursework that would lead him there, he might be just as lost as Jyrras.
