Actually, Trombonefellow... The number one reason for rape is the will to dominate. Look it up, it's a fact.

And I'm beginning to realize that arguing with you is a complete waste of my time, because you don't understand what I'm saying and I think you're completely and utterly wrong and confused about your terms.  ;) Nothing personal mate, I'm just going to drop this and agree to disagree.
Aww come on, I was havin fun... :(
Really though, if that's how you feel it's cool with me.

I've had a look through your posts and a little look through your DeviantArt page (great stuff there by the way) but I'm yet to come up with a designation for you.

Any thoughts.  Do others have any opinions?

I could use a god of slumber or abstinence, etc (something to be the opposite of Pozf, God of Persistence, and give me an excuse for the High Gods to drift away from the world again) but I'm not sure you'd fit that designation personally. So any idea on what force you might best represent?

Are you a peaceful and content sort of fellow?

Yeah I could work with the peaceful bit, I'm thinking a creative/peaceful power I guess.
Power to create peace?

That's your personal opinion. That does not change the fact that the word "Lesbian" means a woman who only likes other women.
I guess that must be your opinion then, only liking the same sex means you'll never be attracted to the opposite sex.

What do men in prison have to do with anything? Men in prison fuck other men because there are no women available, and besides, in those cases it's more ablut dominance and making someone your bitch than it is about horniness. Your example sucks.
I figure it's an example based off of being a homosexual period, the prison example could refer to women as well if that's what you want.
Anyway prison rape isn't always about an act of dominance, there are much more effective means of that.
I feel the example is a fine one of my point, having sex which conflicts your orientation, doesn't make you bi, assuming you still prefer the sex you did beforehand.

And, uh, if you're going to have consensual sex, which is not about dominance but about horniness, yes, you do need to be at least somewhat attracted to the gender in question. Lesbians do NOT go around fucking men because "they wanna try it" and "don't want to judge before they try it."
Chances are that the average lesbian probably won't fuck a man.
Given the rare occurrence that she does or decides she want's to try, it doesn't make her any less lesbian if in the end she still prefers women over men.
It may be unusual for one to conflict their orientation, but isn't something that's 100% impossibles.

Should I go fuck a sheep just because I haven't tried it yet?
If you're serious, I could post you some links  :P
Seriously though, that sounds more like a fetish than an actual orientation.

Anyway after observing today's page I must say I'm a little sad it wasn't real.  :(

@ Razzly: I should have said: "Having sex with a man, when you're an established lesbian doesn't make you straight/bi/pan"


Uh, yes it does?

A "lesbian", if you didn't know it, is a woman who likes other women. This means, lesbians do not have sex with men. This also means, that if you're a woman who has sex with men, you're either straight, bi, or pan. NOT lesbian.
That sorta brings me back to the fact I believe no one is 100% homo/hetero.

@ Razzly: I should have said: "Having sex with a man, when you're an established lesbian doesn't make you straight/bi/pan"

*nods to Razzly* I think my gay and lesbian friends would strongly disagree with you there (particularly my more feminist lesbian friends). The battle cry for gay people has always been that sexuality is not a simply choice or a casual 'preference' subject to change whenever.
People with with more fluid sexuality like Maytag do not identify themselves as 'lesbian', because they aren't. Lesbian's do NOT flippantly or randomly sleep around with men. Sleeping with men would mean that the girl is either bisexual or pansexual.
So yes, lesbian? In the words of Mel from Queer as Folk: "Not if you're f*cking men you're not!"
(That's not to say that sometimes something might happen with a member of the opposite gender... be it a drunken thing or a gay person happening to fall for someone of the opposite gender. Sometimes it does happen.)

I'm pretty sure a lot of people would disagree with my view of sexual orientation, but I get the feeling you think I'm saying that on some level everyone is bi/pan.
That's not the case, and I strongly disagree that if a lesbian has a sexual encounter with a guy it makes her bi/pan.
Quoting myself: "At the end of the night if you still prefer you're own gender you're still a homosexual (vice-versa), having a sexual encounter shouldn't change that. Unless afterward you like, decide or realize you don't care for or have a particular preference.

But this is completely off topic. I don't think Bern's sexuality is the issue as much as the out of character-ness of the situation (which I'm sure will have a reasonable answer!). I think it would be almost as out of character for Bern had a random woman snuck into the bath given her shy and possesive personality!
Quite simply, Bern would not be so easily turned on by a naked man, particularly one whom she had only moments ago raged at for being a pervert invading her privacy. She was horrified at the idea of him seeing her naked in the carriage, so it would be a complete contradiction for her to enjoy it in the bath! That's why there must be something funny afoot.

What I find interesting (and more so the point of my previous post), is that one of the issue's around Bern's out of character-ness seems to be that she's lesbian and there's no way in hell she'd ever do this kind of thing with a man. My point is that it shouldn't be considered O.O.C. for a homo/hetro character to engage in a sexual act that conflicts their orientation. Perhaps unusual and not likely, but it isn't something the character is incapable of.

On the other hand it is quite clear that Bern has much contempt for Glyph, and she took quite a few cautious measures to ensure he wouldn't know that they were in there. This is the sole reason I believe that there is almost no chance this is a real passionate fling moment thing, and some means of sorcery or an enchantment on the bath itself is the cause for the unusual behavior on Bern's part.

But eh, for now it's still speculation and opinion...makes me that much more impatient for the explanation.

I don't think that having sex with a man, when you're lesbian should mean that you're straight.
Same thing for a straight person having sex with a gay person.

I always thought of sexual orientation as a general preference really.

All of this. The previous comic threw me because Bern's supposed to be a fairly seasoned vet, and you don't just turn your hearing off to someone stripping behind you and getting into your pool. That aside, my first thought was, word for word, "Someone is about to get their shit wrecked." Like TF Commando said, she was just threatening him pretty harshly not long ago, and now is suddenly okay with this? Not a damn chance. She's too nice to literally make good on the cutting eyes out thing, but it's well within her personality to send him flying out of the pool bleeding and broken.
As Charles said earlier that "change" of Bern's is probably going to be explained soon enough.
There's really no point in getting disappointed because Bern did not react in a logical or any other manner you see fit.


@ Jazer: It's one thing to express how you feel about the scene, but it's another to sarcastically congratulate someone for making you not read the comic anymore.
It's like asking to be told that no one cares about whether or not you'll continue to read the comic.

Well, you'd probably be giggling over me leaving.  Because if it's NOT a spell... then it's just one of the dumbest developments I can imagine, and I think it would be a betrayal of the investment people have made in following these characters just to do something 'ballsy'.  And while Brion may indeed have guts, I don't think he's going to do something flagrantly stupid just to prove it.

Yeah it'd be hilarious, but seriously I don't think Brion actually meant to prove himself "ballsy" in anyway with this scenario,
if anything I feel it's a reminder of a consistent theme around the characters, which generally involves changing in some way for the benefit of themself or another.
I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to find that this incident contributes to May and Bern's relationship.

Furthermore, investing in the following of these characters would easily lead to being betrayed. Throughout the story so far it's easy to tell that the
characters aren't always gonna react in the way you might think or like. Personally it's what I like best about this comic's story, because of the way Brion balances the inconsistency of these characters I find them more and more human. (Oh man, someone already said it...)

I think the more interesting question is -- what if it's not a spell.

Well said, couldn't agree with you more.

Honestly I think it's not likely the bath isn't enchanted somehow, but I'd love to see just how many, would be shocked and claim to stop reading
because, it turns out Bern isn't as 100% monogamous/lesbian as they seem to believe.

You guys give Brion too much credit. No, I don't think he's actually going to turn into a soft-core porn writer. But he has a habit of making characters behave inconsistently or introducing situations that either are unncessary or don't make sense in context just for the sake of forcing a particular plot point. I'm sure this will be resolved, but as usual, it comes off feeling like he's had these basic major scenes in his head for a long time, and he is just connecting the dots to get from one point to the other in ways that are often clunky or that don't fit well with what he's built up in the meantime.
I agree to an extent, but in the end this kind of thing is his decision to make, whether you continue to read is up to you.

I'd say considering the nature of the comic, Brion does a damn good job of balancing fan service and the story.

The minute I saw Glyph's face it took me like 4 minutes to
get the nerve and scroll down reading the rest of the page.
Well, he was a cool guy...nice knowin him.  :(

I dare to think, "Glyph is an hero" were the words you were looking for, my friend.
I agree with Tropico, anyone who's that brave and awesome is a hero in my book!

I can't sleep naked.
I'm always afraid that I will be murdered in my sleep and then my family will find me naked! How embarassing for dead me!

Heh heh, I used to sleep naked.
But one time my dog came in and took away my covers, and I woke up all exposed.
For the first few seconds I thought: "Was I raped?"

Poor Bern, feeling so very paranoid.

They could just fill the bath with bubbles, so that if Glyph peeks, all he'll see is... Bubbles! *Genius*
