That information is privy to Amber's knowledge only, currently. And I'm willing to be this has been talked about endlessly. That being said...

I think he's bisexual, rather than flat-out gay.

Well, there's my two cents.

Actually... on an episode of Mythbusters, they filmed an arrow at high-speed so they could watch it: arrows don't fly straight, they wobble and twist as they fly. And you have to fire them at an angle if you want to hit something far away... well, from what I recall, anyway.

That's why they call it archery, you have to arch the arrow's flight path, otherwise it'll hit below the target. The same is so with high velocity firearms but to a much smaller degree for the same target distance.

Post by: RobbieThe1st on October 31, 2008, 11:37:23 PM
I figure he is straight, although has a very weak or nearly nonexistence sex drive.
I figure that the "I'm gay for Abel" image Amber created was because most everyone considered him gay, and Amber appears to love fooling everyone, and creating debate among us forum folk. As it is, Amber could at this point reveal that Abel is *anything* and it would throw off some groups theory. So, I figure that Amber is not going to tell us unless there is a very strong reason to tell us, and at that point may decide, or change her decision. So, it may very well be up in the air as of now.

I am just deciding arbitrarily that he has to be straight and or nearly asexual, because that is the opposite of what appears to be the popular opinion, and so can't be that bad of a bet.

I'd assume he's right handed cuz here (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_686.php), here (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_706.php), and here (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_733.php) he's using his right hand to "sucker-punch," but I'm basing this off the fact that, it seems much more likely that you would be more apt to punch some with you're dominant hand than you're non-dominant, and I'm also assumong that chirality refers to your dominant hand since Wikipedia also calls it handedness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handedness). And that basically explains the whole dominant-hand thing... I'm gonna stop saying that.

Post by: Dagardo on November 01, 2008, 01:32:18 AM
If you don't have enough patience to sift through a few comics, how do you play a strategy game like "Duelist of the Roses?" Seems to me like you could actually reread them while you're looking for a comic that you need to find for whatever reason. Maybe you'll run into a few of you're favorite moments in the process. Meh, whatever, sometimes you're not worth it. But on the topic of chirality perhaps Abel is mixed-handed, or learned ambidexterity, but is using his right hand more as that could be his naturally dominant hand. And it also seems like I have more patience than you when it comes to typing.

Actually, I do lean more towards the fact he's sexually dead. People that have been f'ed with as much as he has usually have a great deal of trouble developing any kind of relationship.

I think you mean Wildy.

And actually, now that I think of it, maybe Abel really is too screwed up for romance or love. In anyone here reads Questionable Content (http://questionablecontent.net/), you'll get what I mean when I mention Faye and her backstory and problems: Abel's like that. He can function in everyday life, and he can handle friendships... but due to the loss of those so close to him and the betrayal of someone he thought he could trust implicitly, he might not be capable of getting that close to someone. Of letting himself open up that much... because in the back of his mind there will always be that quiet niggling voice telling him that they'll just die or betray him too.

I really do think Abel and Jyrras would make a cute couple, but they'll probably be friends first. Abel doesn't strike me as someone who has fully recovered, and he might never. To be honest, Fa'Lina feels like his only friend, the only one he's close too. I don't know what I'm saying, but I guess that having Jyrras and Abel as really good friends willing to see where this relationship goes works for me.

Oh well, I guess we'll see.

Well, that's one definition of chirality, but I was thinking more of chemical chirality.  Is Abel cis- or trans-?  Is his geometric structure right handed or left handed?  Come to think of it, I know how you figure handedness out for physics, but I'm not sure how you determine which is D and which is L in chemistry.

Though I guess Abel would have to be cis-, since his thumbs point in the same direction.

Normally vertical, though he's apparently spent plenty of time horizontal too...

Quote from: Jairus on October 31, 2008, 05:45:10 PMActually on an episode of Mythbusters, they filmed an arrow at high-speed so they could watch it: arrows don't fly straight, they wobble and twist as they fly. And you have to fire them at an angle if you want to hit something far away... well, from what I recall, anyway.

two different phenomena...

the shaft of an arrow flexes due to the force imparted on it by the string coming from behind(ooh, innuendo!)

The arching is a ballistic trajectory, which is a fancy way of saying it's the path that an object travels due to gravity accelerating the object towards the ground.  All objects traveling through the air as a result of only an initial force will adopt such a trajectory, from baseballs to bullets, though the faster it travels the further it has to travel to realize an arc.

I want to be cruel to everyone, and hope Abel will appear ambiguously oriented forever. (well, outside of an out-cannon admission of preference by Amber after the series is complete, a'la JK Rowling.)

I imagine that the flexing of the shaft would be more to the air pressure on the fletching (feathers) at the rear end acting like a weathervane.  Another way to look at it would be that the arrow acts like a flag on a windy day, flapping in the breeze like the people discussing Abel's sexuality.

I don't think it matters.

Abel doesn't want to be friends with anybody, much less find somebody to love. So wheter he's gay, bi, straight, or the other, I doubt it would really be relevant.

I just enjoy him for the snarky little spotty kitty he is.

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). (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_350.php)

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

At that point, I think it falls out of being a sexual preference and just starts being picky...  It's not like (s)he should be able to tell if it's done right without them telling him... though I suppose that bone structure and such would give a clue.

That sorta makes me wonder if, among all the ancient people archaeologists have found the bones of, and identified gender thereby, there were individuals that were equivalent to transsexuals.
