Erin Stout, Seductress

[DeepComet5581]

I now have this image of you teaching English to some Italian children with a Ruth Jones-esque accent. It is amusing.

This is exactly how I do it


actually, sorry to disappoint but this is a Cardiff accent and I'm north Wales. And since North Wales is pretty much just a suburb of Liverpool I sound more like Wayne Rooney than Ruth Jones. Either way my students are highly confused, but I've managed to get them to enter the classroom by saying 'y'alright laaaaa'

OT: Thinking more about Erin's marvellously unsubtle advances, does anyone find the use of the 'v' word by women a turn-off? I don't know why, but it just sounds weird to hear (or in this case, read) it.

Well, as long as you don't look like him then it's all the same to me. Is it quite warm in Puglia this time of year?

Jokes aside, I do find some Scouser accents remarkably similar to Welsh accents (Even Cardiff and South Wales ones), Caernarfon in particular. I also now have an image of an Italian man coming home and going "Y'alright maaaaa".

To answer your question, it depends on the context. If it is an invitation, then that sort of inane language is reluctantly welcomed, as I seem unable to grasp subtlety or just deal with it in an awkward fashion. If she just wants to talk about it as if it were some sort of household pet, then I suspect most men would actually leave the conversation altogether. I would probably stand there and nod my head occasionally but, alas, no female has seen fit to talk about their lady parts to me, in any context.

Oh...this is what I'm doing wrong. Thanks Critical Miss!

He´s turning it down because he is afraid of a rape accusation because she is drunk and does not know what she is doing.

Yes because being assaulted while you are practically unconscious is exactly the same as being a bit merry and propositioning a guy...

I get very ...excitable after I have drank wine which is why this strip resonates with me lol.

Or maybe because obviously drunk and suspiciously unsubtle women aren't a turn on for everyone.

Spoiler: Okay

Well according to many laws you cant consent while drunk and any sex without consent is rape.
So yeah......

Yeah, and according to a few laws pizza can be legally called a vegetable. That doesn't make it true.

Their is a big difference between getting a drunk person to have sex with you by asking/agreeing to sex, and making them have sex while they are unconscious.

Not saying if you go out getting people drunk with the intention to get them to have sex with you won't/shouldn't get you in trouble, but at that point unless you were very drunk too it would be a bit dumb to blame the other person.

You don't have to obey something blindly. Not even laws. As long as you use common sense, you should be able to tell right from wrong.

But that's not a legal defense you could use to keep off the sex offender registry or keep out of jail. It's not like he has a reason to trust her either

That's nothing. My flatmate is also a teacher and she's Irish. Listening to the kids repeat everything in an Irish accent cracks me up. Purrrrrple Horrrrrse

Can you hear that? It's pretty quiet.... you sure you can't hear it? It sounds like... yes, I think it is... It's the world's smallest violin playing just for you! If you ever have the misfortune to walk in on female friends talking about 'their lady parts' you might think differently!

I just think the 'v' word has a cold, almost medical feel to it. I can't imagine ever using it in a 'romantic' (read: slutty) way.

 

[RoBi3.0]

If I had to guess I would assume that he turned her down because 3 or 4 strips ago she called a meaningful tidbit from his childhood "fucking lame". She is real smooth.

 

[Jedoro]

"Hello. I'm crazy. Not like, 'Your Mom is car-AZY,' but, 'We the jury find the defendant.'

Wanna bang?"

Win

OT: Guess he didn't know just how drunk she actually was. Can't really see another reason he'd make the first move, then turn her down.

Never said it would get you out of it. Look if a person while drunk can agree to sex, be awake & aware enough to actually participate in aforementioned sex, and if they later can say that they were raped even though the other person didn't force/drug them then yeah. We should probably change that law to be a bit more specific. However, I doubt that this is really the case. If it is.......well people could just set a personal rule for themselves to not have sex with drunk people.

CRAP!! Pardon me for a bit I just saw a spelling error of mine.

Ha! I own the World's smallest Violin! I care not for your impudent attempts to mislead me.

Saying "The V Word" is similar to saying the 'p' word. It's cold and certainly clinical but preferable (In my view) to referring to it by using the 'c' word, in much the same way I wouldn't want a woman to refer to her bits as that other 'c' word. Just sounds overly dirty and far too horny. I am a scholar and a gentleman, and I will only tolerate proper employment of launguage, by jove.

Out of curiosity, how would you, as a woman, refer to it in 'romantic/slutty' conversation?

If the imbetweeners has taught me anything, it's that there's only one word for that certain area, and it starts with 'c' and ends in 'lunge'.

Honestly though, I don't find the 'c' word (the actual one)offensive if used to talk about anatomy as opposed to an insult. If James McAvoy can say it then clearly it's ok.

I am so turned on right now.

Then there's the 'porn' way of saying it; referring to the slang term of a popular household pet.

Although, let's face it. If a guy is in a situation where the topic is drifting to this, I think his mind will be on other things.

Get on Erin going all Kawaii /)^3^(\

'Oh my god, guys, this is so serious, Erin isn't a celibate, insecure princess in need of rescuing, this is so bad.'

It's fiction. About a person. A person the author is trying to make genuine and believable. She has flaws and she has drunken one night stands, just like any of you.

I have to agree with all the people that want this storyline to end. It's starting to get a little bit painful, now, and not just because it isn't funny; I don't really find anything compelling about this situation that makes me want to read more. If I wanted relationship angst I'd go read Questionable Content.

I'm also a little bit disappointed by Erin's conduct in a potentially romantic situation. The "nervous, socially awkward gamer" is so overplayed with either gender that it's incredibly uninteresting. I would've enjoyed seeing a more confident approach to the situation.

How is 'I am interested in sex with you' not a confident approach? You'd be pretty hard pressed to call that coy.

I was going to post roughly what you just did, but now you've saved me a few minutes! Thank you.

awwww, i had mood music set up and everything...

Ten hours?! ... That's a lot of sax.
[sub][sub]You see what I did there.[/sub][/sub]

Ha! I own the World's smallest Violin! I care not for your impudent attempts to mislead me.

Oh yeah? Well... I AM the world's smallest violin! Twist ending!

 

[Xan Krieger]

How the f*** did he say no? Is she had asked me I'd quote Daniel Bryan "Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes"

 

[Saltarius]

I haven't really liked Erin's character in these past few strips. I mean how long has she known this guy? A few minutes? I can't see it being any longer than a few hours, and she wants to do this guy. Classy. I would have the same reaction to her as this random guy did if I was in the same situation. Although I wouldn't have done a lot of the other things he did, so I wouldn't be in that situation in the first place any way.

But I really like the attempt to build a longer deeper narrative with Erin's character and problems instead of just using them as a punch line. I'm interested to see where this goes.

Granted, she's apparently balls-off-the-walls drunk. Maybe. I'm kind of indifferent towards it.

 

[Truth Cake]

Goddamnit, I was promised gags and I got this shitty storyline. What an awful webcomic, promising things and not sticking to them.

I want my money back. I'm boycotting Critical Miss. And why do I have to be always online to read this, huh? IT'S NOT EVEN MULTIPLAYER

Sure it is! You can read it together on the same computer! Besides, it's important for them to prevent people from pirating this comic, each time someone does costs them a total of 0$, and that's money that could be used in the real-money auction house that this comic provides.

Although I am also disappointed in the direction they're going recently, I hope they dump this guy ASAP so they can get back to the good stuff!

Not... THAT good stuff...

 

[Gaboris]

Funny enough I had similar situation.
Cute drunk girl, blunt attempt of having sex with anyone.
I may hate people, but in this moment I stepped in and lead her to my place.
After some massage (I convinced her that it is part of foreplay) she passed out, and I spent that night on the floor.
Next morning during breakfast I explained her what happened, she said "thanks" and left (and I never met her or heard from her again)

And this whole situation sucks.
I feel bad because I wanted to have sex with her
But if I've had sex with her I would feel bad about exploiting her
Ignoring this situation altogether also wasn't an option, because I would feel like jerk for not helping her
A lose-lose-lose situation

SIR I salute ye and tip my hat to REAL man!
Don' be sad as someone already said you should do as you believe and I bet all of us here hope you'll get repaid for your standing.

Why thank you dashing sir, but I must disagree with your argument and splendifically state that I have enjoyed the last few worded images of this fine lady and her fictitious companions. Also, if you do not cease your trolling as the common folk would put it, I will be forced to engage in intercourse with your grandmother. Indeed!

I MUST say I find it most relieving that I get to share my predicament of liking said chain of events. If I may I would certainly love to applaud your witty... Awww who am I kiddin here? I got a headache from all this fancy talk I tells ya that so my hat is off to ya for the masterful implementation.

OT(Am I using this correctly?): Personally I don' get why ppl don' like this arc. SURE they have a different taste and as such they don' like it if stories make 180 on themselves in setting or mood as much as I do, but to outright call out on it not being ONLY about one set of themes...

It's fiction. About a person. A person the author is trying to make genuine and believable. She has flaws and she has drunken one night stands, just like any of you.

AHH yeah Rya here just made a great point so I shouldn't repeat it myself.

But, as everyone who's ever visited Reddit knows, you don't stick your dick in crazy.

1) Love the Titus reference.
2) A lesson best not learned from life. Take it from me.

 

[Lord_Ascendant]

Still not clear enough, Erin. You want my what to go where now?

Captcha: love me

I'm sorry captcha but I'm taken...and you're starting to creep me out.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

How the f*** did he say no?

Obviously he read the article that told him "Don't stick it in the crazy".
