POLL: En-TITLE-ment

[Lia S]

Jokes aside, asexuality seems a likely topic, if only because T has already covered everything else I can think of. In P&A alone we have three lesbians (four if you count Meighan as a castmember), a gay man, a bisexual, a "straight plus one", a bicurious, a "screw labels", and whatever Stan is. Add Fans! and we have an omnisexual and a triad with BSDM. Add Ma3 and...

Really, T's works have never been wanting for alternative sexuality. To have a comic that "focuses" on it seems redundant to me... Of course, my view has always been that, if you want to make something acceptable, DON'T make a big deal of it; throw it in almost as an aside and have everyone treat it as completely mundane, because your point is that it should be normal.

So, it's either asexuality, or... be afraid, be VERY afraid?

your post made me shiver with frightened anticipation.

...dammit, now I'm having h-game flashbacks, and the ones I've played never had either participant be in that state. Now look what you did! XD

Edit: Also, I'm going with "Lisa steps out." Just kind of feels right, considering her. Like she's always trying to "step out" of her comfort zone.

To clarify: the full context of T's post to which I linked is as follows:

This spinoff, I want to be about alternate sexuality, as Penny and Aggie was primarily about youth (and just had a lot of alternate sexuality in it).

So T's not necessarily saying the comic will be all "Hey hey there's lots of alternative sexuality here," nor that every strip will be about it in some blatantly obvious way, any more than Penny and Aggie went out of its way to remind us at every step that "Hey hey this is a youth comic with youths in it and it deals with youth issues of youth." Knowing T, who isn't generally one for knocking readers over the head with messages, symbolism, character motivations and such (indeed, the most common criticism of his writing is that he doesn't always make things obvious enough), I'd wager that the strip will treat the theme more like the way you correctly say it should be treated.

The spinoff should be titled "Totally Gay".

Homage a David Willis, of course.

Triads and Tribads. That's it's name now. I decree it.

(Ohgod even if I'd never heard of P&A I would read the hell outta that >.< )

[Kamino Neko]

Yes. That one is perfect. T, go with it!

[darklion]

That's too close to Ménage-à-3. And sort of girl-oriented, although I know that this comic probably will be.

[Bo Lindbergh]

No, "Tribade à 3" would be too close.

[Tamar]

Fair enough. Hmm...if T hadn't already ruled out a location-based title, then given that he says it takes place at a "somewhat special campus," I'd have to nominate Kamino Neko's freaking BRILLIANT name from the Complete the Sentence thread: Bad Bad Bad University.

(Think about it for a moment. It'll come to you.)

Could have a lot of fun with the logos for that one.

[NobodySpecial]

If I had to be serious about it...

Well, I do. My snark is exhausted on this particular day.

I'd go with 'Questioning.'

"That's So Straight." GET IT LIKE how straight people say gay instead of straight because it's homophobic...

I honestly would like to see some asexuals, demi-sexuals, etc. The ones that no one seems to really touch on, y'know? They don't get enough attention.

Anyway, I'm trying to figure out your sexual orientation assignments here.
three lesbians: Sara, Daphne, Aggie (with Mar as an exception, apparently)
gay man: Fred
a bisexual: ...Cyndi? (She said she didn't identify as one, but who knows if she was honest)
a "straight plus one": Penny
a bicurious: ...Cyndi? (Again, who knows.)
a "screw labels": Lisa. <3
Stan: Stan

So I guess it's just the bisexual/bicurious that's throwing me off.

[Alice Macher]

and whatever Stan is.

Stan: Stan

I still suspect Stan is essentially straight, despite the Rich-idolization, the cracks we make here in the forum, and hell, even the cracks Fred and Michelle make. Apart from that one specifically homoerotic fantasy Stan had about him, I don't see the pattern of same-sex attraction (to varying degrees) that we saw with Sara, Aggie and Penny (Fred and Daphne having both apparently known where they stood well before the comic began, thus we didn't need to be shown their coming-out process.)

I thought the bisexual was Lucy. Though Cyndi could apply, too, I suppose.
