If it makes you feel better, Ethan is the henchman, and his costume is a mask…just a mask. (Heavily implying that his costume is nudity and a mask.)
ItsmoreEvil
So if I understand you correctly Ethans costume would only cover a Top* Position, where as young Danny’s would be more of a cover for the *Bottom variety? Quite an interesting dynamic reversal for costuming of a Hero and his Side kick one might say.
P.S Thank you for providing me with the most epic of segways for which to post my first reply here.

Don’t comment while riding a Segway, you might crash!

BTW, the word’s “segue”, pronounced like the Segway.
Do /you/ wanna be the one to tell the punchy girl who does back flips off buildings that she can’t do that anymore? Cuz I think her description is enough to allude to the fact that she’s too freaking crazy for that to work out in your favor.
Not really. I think I understand Sal, but how can she expect Danny to stop the white girl in the cap that goes around punching people?
If I’m not understanding Sal, and if she meant to say “No, I completely understand that you’d have no chance at all to stop the crazy white girl in the cap who goes around punching people if she decided you were her boyfriend,” then that makes a lot more sense.
But then, I’m pretty sure I do understand Sal. And Sal probably thinks that most people can accomplish things as easily as she probably thinks she can. Despite her juvenile delinquency, her failed relationship with her mother (and father?), and her several other glaring weaknesses she probably considers herself to be a strong, confident person who can do whatever she wants to do. She just doesn’t want to do them, neener neener.
I’m pretty sure, first off, that she means “how in hell” as in “why hasn’t this happened”.
And second, I mean, generally speaking people tend to listen more closely to their loved ones. The answer to her question is that Amber doesn’t have any loved ones who 1) know she’s Amazi-Girl (her mother, presumably) 2) don’t have way too complicated a relationship to tell her shit (Ethan) and 3) aren’t doormats (Danny). But Sal doesn’t know that.
Oberon
“3) aren’t doormats (Danny). But Sal doesn’t know that.”
Um, i think I was saying exactly this.
Danny is a doormat and Sal does not know this because Sal think that all people are strong just as she thinks that she herself is strong. Despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Sal is asking him why he hasn’t got his GF to stop the Amazi-Girl thing. She’s banking on the idea that most people listen to their loved ones and would stop doing something so insanely dangerous if asked/begged by someone who loves them. That’s specifically why she asked to make sure he was actually dating her first.
This is a fair enough question to ask considering Amazi-Girl seems to be extremely reckless in Sal’s eyes – she almost died trying to save Becky and Sal herself had to save her.
And we ourselves already saw what happened when Amber told him the full story – he didn’t say ‘whoa, that was dangerous, you could have died!’ – he got all starry eyed like ‘you’re amazing’ without seeming to realise for even a moment that everything she did was reckless and dangerous and that if she wants to live, it’s probably a good idea to stop doing it.
Spencer
When Amber told Danny what happened he wasn’t starry eyed; he was terrified for her life because she was talking about how she was two separate people and that she almost died.
Kinoko
^ This. Also, I think it’s only recently that he’s started to have a problem with her Amazi-Girl schtick. He was into it when they first met, and it’s only as he’s gotten to know how damaged Amber is that he’s realized it may not be healthy.
impish
Sal doesn’t know that. She only knows that when she was talking to AG in the forest, right after saving her life, it seemed like no one else had ever said this shit to her before.
Also, even right here, Danny is acting like it’s just something super cool and not, yknow, horribly dangerous and self-destructive
he’s only just now figuring out to what extent she needs saving (and also to what extent he’s ill-equipped to do said “saving”). up until recently he thought amazi-girl was just a fun hobby for amber, not the mess that it is.
I have a feeling Danny’s been waiting to use that line for a long time.
Though I guess it’s kind of weird for him to go “yeah having a superhero girlfriend rocks” after the last chapter, where he learned that Amber was in a far worse place than he initially thought.
An internet term, like ‘troll.’ It’s got a lot of different subtle uses, but the bottom line is that it’s a term with negative connotations that refers to someone rushing to the defense of strangers on the internet.
Uniqueantique
Troll isn’t in my experience, referencing someone rushing to the defense of ANYONE on the internet. Quite the contrary. Trolls usually do just the opposite, especially continuing to bring up a hot topic that they are very aware of IS a hot topic and seeing how much trouble they can stir up.
Veddabredda
No I think the “troll” bit was brought up as a comparison to the term “white knight” – to provide context to it. As in “it is a piece of internet vocabulary, which also includes the term “troll”.” And then DS goes on to explain the definition of the term “white knight”. That’s how I understood it, at least.
Disloyal Subject
Trolls and white knights are pretty much the opposite of each other; I was only comparing them as common internet terms – they often come up around each other, given that they describe folks inclined to flamewars. The description I gave was solely on white knights.
Briny
Ol’ timey internet wisdom: Back In Ye Day, we used “Trolling” interchangeably with “Trawling”. That is, “you’re trawling for replies”. By which we meant like the fishing technique where you drag a net as close to the bottom as you can. Then someone who couldn’t spell “trawl” spelled it “troll”, people thought ‘guy who hangs out under a bridge attacking passersby for no reason besides “they’re passersby” ‘ also fit the bill, and there we have it. White Knight is about five generations of internet slang younger than that.
Also, the Kaiser stole the number 20.
Disloyal Subject
Trolling is also a fishing term; a bit before my time, so I’ll take your word on it starting as ‘trawling,’ but to quote the top result on Google, “Trolling is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn through the water. This may be behind a moving boat, or by slowly winding the line in when fishing from a static position, or even sweeping the line from side-to-side, e.g. when fishing from a jetty.” Basically the same, but with lines instead of nets, which seems like a more appropriate metaphor to me, unless the troll in question is coding bots or something for mass saturation of bait.
Trolling is a technique where bait on hooks is dragged behind a slow-moving boat, trawling is similar except with nets which are sometimes dragged along the bottom of whatever body of water is being fished.
achallenger
bravo, did we all just get trawled about trolling in this massive fansplainging thread?
White knight has evolved to have connotations of someone who rushes in to defend others who may not need and/or want defending with zero concern about what the person they’re defending’s opinion is of the matter.
Think the dudes who are self-proclaimed “champions” of women’s rights and get pissed off and/or condescending to women who tell them we’d actually kind of prefer them to stop because the problem we’re talking about is how dudes dominate the spotlight and conversation in all issues, and while Mr. White Knight is giving a very good illustrative example of exactly the issue in question, this particular situation is one wherein women should be doing most of the talking. (Alternatively: That white person who rushes in to defend PoC from racism while condescendingly explaining to the PoC how racism works, or that abled person who demands that autistic people use person-first language with absolutely zero grasp of why that’s a loaded issue in the autistic community [long story] or I could go on).
Basically, think Roz. Roz is a classic white knight: She’s so consumed with thinking of herself as some Great Savior Of The Downtrodden And Oppressed that she’s incapable of examining her own internalized bigotries. It simply does not even occur to her that maybe if she wants to help said downtrodden and oppressed, she should start by actually listening to them and letting them take the lead as they know best what their needs are. She appoints herself Champion of their problem and expert on their issues, even above those with first-hand experience of said issues, and has no grasp of exactly how arrogant (and, for that matter, bigoted – it’s a manifestation of the sort of bigotry that assumes the dominant group isn’t dominant because they’ve stacked the social deck in their favor but because they’re simply better at everything than the oppressed group. A more obvious manifestation of this phenomenon is how every time a wage gap issue comes up, you will have dozens and dozens of people popping up to argue very passionately that Straight White Abled Dudes simply make better life choices than women/PoC/disabled people/trans people/LGB people and/or are just innately better suited to high-paying jobs) that is to do.
tangled_z
To be fair, there is also the use case where “white knight” is used as an insult by the trolls themselves, aimed at anyone who is picking the side they are attacking.
I’ve seen examples of blogs “swarmed” by harassers where they would chuck “oh, stop being such a white knight” at everyone who told them to stop being assholes.
ischemgeek
Yeah, there is that, too.
NotPiffany
I agree with tangled_z; “white knight” is generally used by trolls of the MRA variety to mean “guy who pretends not to hate women* so he can get in their pants” these days. I think the earlier definition has been given to “mansplainer” and the like.
*Trolls of the MRA variety appear to be incapable of believing that men who honestly don’t hate women the way they do exist.
Someone who compulsively picks a side in an argument on the internet ,of which they were not already a part, usually on behalf of a girl or someone they think is a girl.

In meatspace, a guy whose relationships are always with girls/women who have heavy damage, and whose identity as a man is wrapped up in attempting to fix that damage, when what really needs to happen involves therapy of some kind or possibly police intervention.

Yeah, Danny tends to that, that’s part of why he drove Dorothy crazy.
Deanatay
I suffer from this. My love interests tend to be damaged, and I tend to try to protect them. It’s taken me some time to realize that their damage is their own, and that they don’t always want protecting.
In the end, it generally means someone who jumps to people’s (ladies (and presumed ladies) primarily if not exclusively) defense on the internet, generally to make himself feel good more than to actually help (and usually is misguided in their (his) attempts).
Vincent
It’s slightly ridiculous, of course.
The worst you can accuse a “white knight” of is helping someone else out without being asked to.
Which, you know, is a non-thing. Just saying.
If someone is an asshole, that’s not related to the white knight thing. It’s like calling someone a social justice warrior. Boy, sure hate me some social justice.
Jason
Well, it’s not about wanting to help without being asked. It’s usually considered to be someone wanting to “help” without considering the feelings or opinions of the person they’re trying to “help”.

Well, white-knighting can be a trifle patronising, if the damsel (or whoever) isn’t actually in distress and can handle it themselves. In an internet context it can easily slide into mansplaining, for example.

But we’re talking about THIS strip in particular. Sal knows Amazi-Girl is not only practicing vigilantism, which is illegal in this country (Comic Canon, too?), but the last major encounter she had with a bad guy could’ve killed off her subplot, Becky’s subplot, Joyce’s subplot, Sal’s subplot, and maybe but Danny’s, Ethan’s, Walky’s, Dorothy’s, Dina’s, and like, THE REST OF THE COMIC GOES TO A GRINDING HALT BECAUSE PEOPLE DIED.
