Chapter 31 Family Ties part 3

[Luna Guardian]

Luna Guardian is a GUY??!?


Ew.... forget what I said about that avatar, then..... ugh.

What's wrong babe, don't you want me anymore?

Lol! I can remember a time when I didn't know what sex Luna Guardian was and some other member assumed I was hitting on him. People are funny in the cabeza.

I clearly remember Ra1th being all over me way back then and heartbroken when I appeared on the best WND episode ever. Come to think of it, I haven't seen Ra1th around all that much since...

Sounds like Litmaster needs to listen to more WND.

If you wouldn't be putting folks to sleep with your droning, they might get through the episodes and hear shocking revelations such as this!


I wonder if this same thing happens the next time I disappear for months and come back. No one alert the new people then!

Sorry, but this is hillarious. I dont know many men that think with the brain in their head... (and they admit it too, so don't give me grief, please).

It's instinctual. We mate. That is our purpose as animals. Procreation. Make no disillusions about that. Unfortunately, evolution has developed our brains to the point we have intelligence. Intelligence and jealousy have made us possessive of things and others. Hence, mind games and crimes of passion.

In other words, yeah, guys are horny and we know it.

Ugh.... how ironic that this came up during the "Romeo & Romeo" chapter....


I feel like I've fallen into one of those internet safety films....

... where you think, "Ok, Finland.....so...." you imagine you are talking with this

when the reality is more probably like this!

This may have forever altered my perspective of Finland. Thanks for that, Luna.

I think I'm gonna head over to that 'manly' thread and shoot the shit with Todd or Cabbage Patch about manly stuff like trucks, and guns.... tailgating.... ball-bearings... (uh, no-- on second thought, nothing that has to do with 'balls')...

Yeeech... now if you excuse me, I have to go brush my teeth. Again.

It wasn't our fault. CJ distracted us

I have been listening to this podcast since the last part of season 1, I suggest it to my friends, look forward to it every week, and also listen to We're Not Dead.

I am incredibly, incredibly disappointed with the latest episode. The "character development" in part 3 of family ties involves mostly homophobic and women hating jokes, along with a seriously uncomfortable section around CJ's nudity. It's never that I have never been bothered by subtext, but I haven't found myself enraged, either.

There have always been stereotypes poking their heads out within this podcast, and they have been fairly low-level and not overtly offensive. (Except for those awful commercials for Chapter 30, and one of the most sinister characters, Gatekeeper, being openly homosexual.) But THIS was by far the least listenable episode of the podcast, and I can't think of any reason for the dialog contained other than FILLER. If suddenly down the line it matters that Saul and Victor are not only homophobic, but also hate/distrust women, then maybe I'll feel differently, but I highly doubt it.

These repeated themes reinforce that this is an issue with the creater, and not "plot/character development."

Earth to Casey: You might have people other than (white) straight men listening to this podcast, and the dialog can affect listeners who aren't just typical dude-bros (even if the majority of feedback you get on forums would suggest that is the case.) Attitudes like the ones your characters are reflecting are outdated and unneccessary for your plotline.

If your response to this is "it's part of their character" maybe you could take a serious look at what relying on base insults centered around gender and sexual orientation says about your ability to write and carry a plot, and how a confident female or homosexual character might confront them within the story. A punch hard enough to knock them out for a few hours might suffice, but I think in a situation like the one they find themselves in I would like to see more severe consequences.

Don't worry, I've got my flame-retardent suit on for what I'm sure will be a ridiculous series of responses to this post.

So everyone should talk P.C and act like they are robot? I'm sorry but if you label anyone that has a joke about homosexual a homophobic that is also ridiculous. Normal people talk like this and will continue to do so. To think that no one can said anything,whether good or bad, about anyone else is kidding yourself. Saul and Victor are friend who like jabbing at each other and try to release pressure off each other.

.....Is this a troll? Or is he really serious? Either way, that was pretty funny, but not really in a good way.

[7oddisdead]

Gotta agree with the first two responders...while I can understand the sentiment behind the post..really, I can....good gravy, this is how dudes talk...get over it...if we all constantly watched our p's and q's....man, that would make for a dull existence..sorry you didn't like it...but I doubt you'll get a ton of like opinions.
