Nothing wrong with starin' and honestly I always saw the grabbing as comic relief. It's not as usual as it was in the beggining.
He gets a lot of shit for things he is not fully responsible for.

>>91347947
He aonly ever did that to Lucy, and only because there was already some confidence between them.

You know, I had seen a lot of people complaining about how the beatings went from weeaboo comic relief to abuse but having read everything in two days I have to say that's not the point.
Lucy's abuse was much more than physical.
Anyway, I don't think Taeshi will do that again.

>Maybe he should stop bantzing with those who aren't his friends. That would also help.

Because Lucy chooses to hit him instead of reporting it? Not only that doesn't make it alright, it kinda puts in doubt Paulo sense of self preservation.

Abbey wouldn't even direct a word at Paulo if he didn't started.

No he isn't. He is an insecure faggot who acted like a bully because he doesn't want people to figure he is actually bisexual.

I mean in general, not with Lucy. Guy's popular with girls.

I wish it would stop though, so I agree. I didn't think about those gropings when I said Paulo was nice, although it doesn't change my opinion.


>Which he created himself because of his macho inferiority complex.
>No he isn't. He is an insecure faggot who acted like a bully because he doesn't want people to figure he is actually bisexual.
He acts like that even with the people he trusts the most. That's who he is. He likes flirting, he likes picking up girls. It might have started as a way to covr up his insecurities but even if he still has them that is not longer how he covers it.
And after all, who hasn't got insecurities? I sure do and I like to flirt, does that make me an asshole?

You know that's a much better way of thinking about the characters.
They're all so different from how they were a few years ago. It's hard to pin down a consistent ethos for any of them over the whole comic

>>91348423
Yep. I'm the "new reader" that read everything in two days. This is really noticeable. The characters changed a lot and sometimes for worse

>>91348321
> I mean in general, not with Lucy. Guy's popular with girls.
He doesn't go grabbing any girl bobbies through. Second Paulo is attractive, which helps a lot. And the girls he is popular are usually the whorish/insecure types.

> I wish it would stop though, so I agree. I didn't think about those gropings when I said Paulo was nice, although it doesn't change my opinion.
I find it weird it doesn't change your opinion sexual harassment.

> He acts like that even with the people he trusts the most. That's who he is. He likes flirting, he likes picking up girls.
Except that there were moments, in general emotional, that he dropped the jerk façade.

> It might have started as a way to covr up his insecurities but even if he still has them that is not longer how he covers it.
And even if somehow that was true, then it's up to him to improve his way of acting. You cannot say 'I'm a jerk, that's who I am' and want people to say that's it right. If your attitude is bad then improve it.

> And after all, who hasn't got insecurities?
Which doesn't justify acting like a jerk.

> I sure do and I like to flirt, does that make me an asshole?
If you act like Paulo used to act, sure. You would be definitely an asshole.

Just like Lucy past beatings didn't get portrayed as serious. Doesn't change they were still cringe-worth.

> People (and cats it seems) have more than one side. it doesn't make it less authentic
It is when you have a clear social facade and a clear emotional one.

Implying about randomly boning woman, flirting unsolicited, screwing around while trying for a woman he knows wouldn't put up with it.

Sandy never showed to be a bad girl through. She seems to enjoy Mike attentive persona, the only thing she didn't like was his more childish tendencies.

That would actually be the people who get mad when others point something that is canon. Paulo before was insecure because he didn't want to be a beta, now he is because gay tendencies.

lmao I never said that anon. I literally asked if those didn't count. I never agreed it only worked with them. The black cat he is flirting it some pages ago looks normal to me.

>Just like Lucy past beatings didn't get portrayed as serious. Doesn't change they were still cringe-worth.
cringe-worthy is not sexual harassment and if Taeshi hadn't retconned it into physical abuse I would never see it that way. As I said before, Lucy's abuse is not necessarily physical

>It is when you have a clear social facade and a clear emotional one.
It's pretty debatable if it's the case here.

>Implying about randomly boning woman
with who? Guy friends? We do that a lot between us, it's fine.
>flirting unsolicited
You only know if it's unsolicited or not when you try. I don't remember he ever continuing to do so after a hard rejection

>screwing around while trying for a woman he knows wouldn't put up with it.
Yes, he should stop his life while the attempted-suicide girl decides what to do with her love life. There are people who actually believe this.

Jasmine is far from an emotionally healthy person (even through she gets better). Sue would be the best example between the girls.

>>91348961

Anon, he can love her all he wants.
It doesn't change the fact that apologizing too much, crying all the time and calling her 50 times in a row is not healthy.

I think Sandy is a good girl but she will break up with him sooner or later

>>91349008
>before was insecure because he didn't want to be a beta, now he is because gay tendencies.
one insecureness doesn't exclude the other. I still think he put on the manwhore act because of the first one; his straightness insecureness only showed up long after he started his act.

now you're just pushing definitions to fit your own case. I wouldn't call at all Jasmine "mentally unstable". She was far from being a workaholic, she simply didn't know how to manage her time well, and she learned to manage her priorities thanks to Paulo.

You're still filling in blanks. Taeshi never said which actions were connected to those feelings, and the fact that it never, ever came up before in Paulo's personal thoughts goes against your statement that it all "fits".

Why can't his earlier actions still be caused by the "I'm not a beta" attitude? Why do you consider the bi-curious stuff to definitively overwrite his earlier motives, instead of just being new motives going forward from that chapter? After all, Paulo himself acted as if those thoughts and feelings were new in that chapter.

Grabbing a girl bobbies unsolicited is sexual harassment.

Not really since Paulo, just like Lucy showed clearly to have two personas.

Yeah, I'm sure the suicide girl (which apply to any girl really) is completely okay with the dude banging another girl while attempting to date her.

Oh yeah, it isn't. But I wouldn't call that being a bitch. He should turn down, but I'm sure that Sandy appreciates having someone she knows is really dedicated.

> I think Sandy is a good girl but she will break up with him sooner or later
Probably, but it won't be because of Mike dedication. Mostly because of distance or perhaps because she thinks she outgrew him.

Maybe he is insecure in both ways, but the fact remains that canonically one of the reasons he act that way is because he is struggling with his inner homo.

Because it's valid unless Taeshi says it isn't. Which would be declaring a good portion of The Paulo Show not canon.

True. But it's still a very common trait in manwhores and homophobes who struggle internally.

If she was normal when she met and started dating Paulo, your argument that Paulo's act only works on mentally weak girls falls down.
Being overstressed by work doesn't mean you aren't mentally sound anymore, too. It just means you made some bad managing decisions.

That's not the point anon. You don't use someone as a crutch while you don't actually want that person, nor do you go after someone else while carrying your old luggage.

Yeah but the argument wasn't that he did something wrong, but that he's been emotionally blind to her the entire time.
He's a nice guy, if he knew that she was actually being hurt by his flirting he would have done something. But he's been oblivious to the whole situation and looks like a jackass because of it.

Yes, but again the argument is that he was a massive asshole about her being a parasite (not wrong just an asshole). If he had more tact and wasn't so insecure and thin skinned the whole thing wouldn't have happened.

>Which you could have used to say 'no it's not only those types' if you had actually an argument.
"are these off-bounds" was a serious question because I couldn't see any issue with him flirting with those type of girls. You're the one making assumptions that 1) he only does that with these types of girls 2) that I said that and 3) that it only works with them

>usually have more than that.
You'd have to prove she is only that. Wanna bet? We can see if she shows up more and then see. Gonna be hard for me to win if you think any interaction is flirting, though.

>Does that change it wasn't wrong before?
Not necessarily.

>No because she didn't grab his dick.
But we weren't talking about the groping in this part of the discussion. We were talking about Paulo saying to Lucy he wants to fuck her. So I'll ask again. If Paulo is harassing her by saying it is Lucy harassing him for asking the same while both of them are hugging on a bed?

>She implied to Lucy when he gave her a gift for example.
I'll look for it but you have to answer the above question. Deal?

>Anon, you don't really get intonation do you? I said she would tell him to go fuck himself.
You literally said "Or to tell him to go fuck the other girl.". You could literally write "She/I would/could tell him to go fuck himself" if that's what you want to say

>For having a relationship while trying to get another. And don't go 'b-but sex is not a relationship!', almost every person except the ultra liberal considers libertine wrong.

I can say they are slutty if in her only two appearances she only acts slutty and nothing else. If Taeshi develop her later however then she isn't only a flirt, she gets other qualities and then she stops being only seen as slutty.

>Yeah but the argument wasn't that he did something wrong, but that he's been emotionally blind to her the entire time.
He's a nice guy, if he knew that she was actually being hurt by his flirting he would have done something. But he's been oblivious to the whole situation and looks like a jackass because of it.
It was less about he flirting with others but more of "he isn't responsible for her falling in love with him". He could have more tact but I don't blame the guy. Rachel should have bailed

>Yes, but again the argument is that he was a massive asshole about her being a parasite (not wrong just an asshole). If he had more tact and wasn't so insecure and thin skinned the whole thing wouldn't have happened.
I agree! He fucked up. My original point was more like "to say he is responsible for Lucy's mental health is a big leap and a serious accusation and I don't think it's the case"

You're equating being flirty WITH ONE PERSON to being slutty (which in the common meaning is intended as putting it out for everyone and enjoying casual sex). There are no elements whatsoever to define her "slutty". you're just calling her that in order to puch your argument that Paulo's manwhore actitude only works on sluts and mentally unstable girls

Because you didn't pay attention to the point that your acting isn't working if you only get those who would fall for anything.

Seeing how that's the types that it worked on, all others acted with aggression that's a sure bet.

Since it only showed with them then it's pretty much only with them, unless proven otherwise.

Her character up until this point is only that.

Acting slutty with hearts and etc is flirting, but if she say something emotional or smart then I will be corrected.

Yes.

No because when Paulo asked Lucy he asked it in a disrespectful way, when Lucy asked Paulo she asked it in a more respectful way.

And you are being disingenuous, completely ignoring that this is her entire character at this moment. There is nothing else but 'flirt with manwhore jock' at the moment. That's a slutty archtype.

> You're just calling her that in order to puch your argument that Paulo's manwhore actitude only works on sluts and mentally unstable girls

That's still doesn't make it not canon.

Frankly we are now going in circles. But the fact it:

A) it's canon

That argument was about Paulo not crushing on Mike anymore. If it's about Paulo at the start you need to see the black and white pages.

>>91350582

It's an incomplete character, given that she didn't get a single line of text. You're saying that Paulo's act only works on sluts, and then you're arguing that a character's a slut because she's flirting with Paulo. That's circular logic.
>There is nothing else but 'flirt with manwhore jock' at the moment. That's a slutty archtype.

Because things, get this, don't stop being canon because you didn't like it. There is no new canon contradicting Paulo having homo issues. Nothing, nothing at all. You just want it to stop being true because 'Taeshi didn't talked about it again, even through the arc that it was the plot point is finished'.

> You've yet to acknowledge that and just keep going back to previous events.
Because those events are canon. There was no retcon saying otherwise. Again, you have nothing.

Don't you remember Jasmine opening up with Paulo?

She isn't an incomplete character, she is a tertiary character. Her only purpose is to show Paulo flirting with other women besides Rachel. She is made slutty for that.

> You're saying that Paulo's act only works on sluts, and then you're arguing that a character's a slut because she's flirting with Paulo. That's circular logic.
Or maybe you can't into logic? If a character only purpose is to flirt with a manwhore, then her purpose isn't to go to church or to make a lecture, it's just to act whorish near the manwhore.

The new canon doesn't contradict the old canon for previous events. Paulo being bi-curious from that chapter forward can exist alongside Paulo not having those feelings sooner. Why do you insist it was always so? Why does the new canon HAVE to supercede earlier events that it doesn't specifically address? Again, that entire chapter had Paulo acting as if they were NEW feelings.

I just said that it fits, which was in turn against the 'Paulo was never gay'. Maybe Paulo wasn't gay at first, but he did give some flags of someone that is, which later Taeshi turned to be true. End of story.

Which only purpose in the comic is 'flirty girl to make Rachel feel bad'?

Seeing how she is a tertiary character who has been created as to spotlight Paulo relationship with Rachel, which only quality is doing exactly that and acting generally like her?

We don't like it, the creator clearly doesn't care for it, it has nothing to do with the story, and is literally a filler plot.
The arguments started because somebody suggested offhandedly that his being gay was a reason for some of his actions in the past. We said that was dumb and that it only explains things from that chapter onward, and even thats a stretch as it hasn't ever come up again as a reason for anything.

> Computer girl, I like you, but I won't remember your schedule.
Basically every bcb I am there.

> What about Lucy touching him, then.
Did she touch him in a spot he didn't allow?

> Which is different from saing Paulo only dates those types, or that it only works with them. Again, it was a serious question, I wanted to know what was the point of that commentary.
The point is that those are the types of girls people usually gets, which shows that his 'manwhore' persona wouldn't get anything if not for his looks.

> But that defeats the purpose of a fuckbuddy, anon. Why would you have a fuckbuddy if you can't go for someone else? It would be better to make the fuckbuddy a gf/bf
Because there is a very high chance that the other person is not okay with fuckbuddying?

You are actually free to do so, if you are honest to the other about it and he or she says they don't mind it.

>Calm the fuck down computer girl, I understood your remarks as "completely forget your past relationships" instead of "I mean in the sense of ending all the entitlement to one another."That's fine by me
Right.

>Except the part of her crushing stress from outside of it.
You should pinpoint to what chapter you're referring to. Otherwise you're just making stuff up, or at best assuming too much.
>Which only purpose in the comic is 'flirty girl to make Rachel feel bad'?
>Seeing how she is a tertiary character who has been created as to spotlight Paulo relationship with Rachel, which only quality is doing exactly that and acting generally like her?
You still can't desume she's a slut just because of her two interactions with Paulo.
If you see a gal for the first time and she's flirting with a guy, then you don't see her anymore, do you immediatly assume she's a slut too?
>which only quality is doing exactly that and acting generally like her?
Just being a normal girl with a normal attraction to a pretty boy?

>>91351473
> Oh i'm so sorry for offending you please don't report me
I'm not offended, I'm just making a point because being bi allows you to crush on both sexes.

> Tae agrees it was a retcon, it has nothing to do with the past or present of the comic only that one chapter.
And that doesn't make it not canon, just like retconing Lucy abuse into serious is canon.

> We don't like it,
True.

> the creator clearly doesn't care for it,
Ask Taeshi then. But seeing how she makes material about it I would say that's wrong.

> it has nothing to do with the story,
Agreed, it has nothing to do with this chapter.

> and is literally a filler plot.
The majority of the comic is filler. That's still canon.

> The arguments started because somebody suggested offhandedly that his being gay was a reason for some of his actions in the past. We said that was dumb and that it only explains things from that chapter onward, and even thats a stretch as it hasn't ever come up again as a reason for anything.
Yes, because it is now. Because of the retcon and Matt treatment in it, pretty much his past actions is because of inner homolust over Mike. Even if they aren't, they are now because it fits more with the new narrative. Unless of course Taeshi says that Paulo had his first homolust at that chapter (which would probably upset her Tumblr audience).

>You should pinpoint to what chapter you're referring to. Otherwise you're just making stuff up, or at best assuming too much.
The part where Jasmine tells about her problems.

> You still can't desume she's a slut just because of her two interactions with Paulo.
Which part of 'this is her whole character at the moment' didn't you get?

> If you see a gal for the first time and she's flirting with a guy, then you don't see her anymore, do you immediatly assume she's a slut too?
No because a human is not a plot device.

> Just being a normal girl with a normal attraction to a pretty boy?
Acting flirty with the local manwhore.

>it fits more with the new narrative
It also fits fine with the old narrative, and because Paulo and Mike still interact and there is no hint of gay the old better fits now.
Turns out the retcon gay shit only fits well with the retcon gay chapter

Whooda thunk it?

>I don't want to piss him off any further
Lucy literally did NOTHING wrong
I can't even understand Mike, now, he's such a turd to her

Except the blushes and crush in the canon relationship chart?

Paulo isn't caring about Mike because his main issue now is Lucy. We need to see however if that will be the case if she rejects him.

> Turns out the retcon gay shit only fits well with the retcon gay chapter
I like you say 'chapter', seeing how much time that took. And second, it's still there but just not on focus, mostly on supplementary material so it stop holding back the plot.

lotta free time

>Did she touch him in a spot he didn't allow?
Pic
Did she need to grab his dick to make this harassment in your view?
because I don't think it is, since i know the characters, but you, for the sake of consistency, must think it is. He's clearly unconfortable by the end of the page

>The point is that those are the types of girls people usually gets, which shows that his 'manwhore' persona wouldn't get anything if not for his looks.
That's a stretch. Also, he's popular with a lot of girls. You're just putting them in the same bag as some derranged white cat.

>You are actually free to do so, if you are honest to the other about it and he or she says they don't mind it.
I do remember you saying last time that you must know the other person completely to then date her (I think it was you).
Because for me, it doesn't make a lot of sense, explaining your whole life story to someone.
I honestly don't see why it's wrong to fuck other people while pining for some one that has reject you. There has to be a rejection, because otherwise you would be dating the person you pin for and wouldn't need to fuck around
