Ummm… maybe I’ve finally gotten too old, but that sound extremely scatological to me.

their damn filter is oddly limiting

I would say ‘non-existent’. Being heterosexual doesn’t just mean being sexually attracted to the opposite sex; it means being sexually attracted exclusively (or almost exclusively) to the opposite sex. Danny’s attraction to Ethan could be a fluke, leaving Danny confused yet still basically heterosexual, but Word of God says otherwise.
tinfoil theory
Which part of heterosexual means exclusive?
Robin
The part where we don’t call a bisexual person “both heterosexual and homosexual”.
Shadow12000
We do though? “Bisexual” in itself means “Two Sexualities”, so in other words, “both homo and hetero”.
zmm
Bisexual the term was kinda created for the purpose of having a word to describe it because hetero and homo sexual were defined as specifically one or the other though. Lingustically anyway. Same with “bicurious” a word was created due to a sociological need, due to the definitions of both H-sexual words (I can not remmeber the word for that lol)
Lokitsu
Shadow12000: no it doesn’t. Bisexual means “attracted to both sexes/genders”. Homosexual means “attracted to the same (ie. your own) gender)”
JWLM
Saying one or another or neither is a false dichotomy. ‘Bisexual’ is a blanket term for people who can easily and naturally become sexually aroused by either men or women. Some of us are genuinely ‘both’. Others of us are panromantic and demisexual or panromantic and het/hom towards one gender and demi towards another. To outsiders, we all get lumped into a single bucket; our internal experience is typically much more nuanced.
bisexual means “attracted to same and different genders”, or “attracted to two or more genders”, not “both genders”
Lume
Yeah. Many ‘heterosexual’ people are actually ‘heteroflexible.’ Surveys showed that 1 out of 8 admitted to having a same sex attraction, crush or fantasy at some point.
zmm
Haha I like that term. I hope it’s added to the lexicon eventually
Lokitsu
For pete’s sake NOWHERE in any of the recognized definitions of homosexuality, heterosexuality or bisexuality does it specify TO WHAT DEGREE one person is attracted to that gender(s). That’s something that is unique to every individual person. If folks stopped obsessing on whether “I’m straighter/gayer/bi-er than you” than we wouldn’t need all the ridiculous new terms.
I was going to suggest she was getting a metallic costume with a high collar and a cape that attaches weirdly. And also she’s a jerk now. Because DRAMA!
I never understood why Trojan went with that name as their brand, I mean Trojans are best known for the wooden horse incident and that doesn’t instill the greatest confidence in me that sperm won’t, you know, infiltrate.
Jen Aside
they mean the dick getting in the hole
I GUESS
neeks
Yeah, it’s just the Trojans were inside the horse and then they weren’t and I guess I’m associating the condom as representing the horse, thus my cognitive dissonance
Not to be confused with cocknitive dissonance, which Danny has been experiencing today.
JetstreamGW
But the Trojans weren’t in the horse. The Greeks were. The Trojans were the ones being killed.
neeks
Good thing I’m not a history teacher, then.
TheZachariah
Right, so Trojan would mean…your sperm will be able to ambush and mercilessly slaughter this condom?
Jen Aside
Nono, the sperm hide in the condom awaiting the perfect time to bust out once the condom gets lost inside…
eew
Deanatay
Really, I think Trojan started producing condoms under that name before the name ‘trojan horse’ was applied to malicious data packets.
I agree, though, ‘Trojan’ is a silly name for something that’s supposed to protect against invasion.
The operator’s left hand quivered as she gingerly unlatched the catch to the diskette reader. Uncontrollably, she reached down, guiding the sharply pointed diskette into the deep, dark slot. The floppy diskette nearly folded under the repeated thrusts of her hand, until finally she could control it no longer, her right hand instinctively taking an option
zero. And then it all came at once, thousands upon thousands of data bits flowing from diskette to disk in a torrent of torrid transfer, as the helpless legs of the 32 strained to remain on the floor.
I don’t know whether this is amazing or horrifying. Probably amazing. Brilliant either way.

While I’ve always been a fan of explicit novels, my god sir if you haven’t made me somehow aroused by a disk drive.. imagine what else you could get away with…

Danny Sticks It In The Crazy To Assert His (Non-Existant) Heterosexuality

I wouldn’t say NON-EXISTANT, more like 1-2 on the Kinsey Scale.

Hm… 7 letters, has long neck, anagram of FIRE FAG…

IN comic book form, i’m hoping it turns out Danny was behind this all along.

To properly reboot, you first need to insert floppy. 😀
Nono
Or a thumb(drive).
Yotomoe
This is the modern times. We don’t need to insert a floppy. You should get an external HARDdrive and make sure you have enough RAM.
John
I find it works better with a hard dick. Disk! I meant “disk”.

Make sure you have protection, or you might pass her a virus. (Okay, this one’s not really a pun.)
