I think this sums it up nicely.Catawampus wrote:My own personal take on Jin's statement:
Atsali's sex appeal and Atsali's sexuality are two entirely separate things.
There are people who would find Atsali in minimal amounts of clothing (or even better, no clothing at all) to be extremely attractive. There are people who would be turned off by that. There are people who might be more attracted to her if she had a different skin colour, or only if she were naked and juggling celery, or if she were naked and playing with toothpaste. While she should certainly have some idea of the common ideas of sex appeal in culture and how her choices are likely to influence people in general around her, her sex appeal has little to do with her in particular and more to do with the tastes of the people viewing her.
If somebody is turned on by her appearance in whatever way, that's their business and that's fine. But what they shouldn't do is to assume that, just because they find seeing her skin to be sexually appealing, she must be consciously trying to appeal to their sex urges and is obligated to have sex with them whenever she is wearing skimpy clothes. Sure, she can be doing it to intentionally appeal to a certain person or to people overall, but the basic fact that she's showing skin ought not be taken as automatically meaning that she's out looking for sex.
So: lots of exposed skin can mean sexy, without meaning "have sex with me".

And I seem to recall that Jin still has significant powers . . . like so many other women in Wapsi Squared.

Yeah - when she and Monica went island-trashing ... errr ... hopping, wasn't Monica doing all the poiting? Or just the hair-trigger "Help Mr Wizard!"stuff?Akeche wrote:Unless I misunderstood a lot of what happened, Jin's about as powerful as your average five-foot-something woman is now.

Getting a bit overly-snarky here, guys.ShneekeyTheLost wrote:I"m not ignoring what you are typing, I'm pointing out how incorrect it is and attempting to educate you.

Jin can still poit, and apparently can do so very quickly... it took her only two words' worth of time ("I'll be") to set it up.AnotherFairportfan wrote:Yeah - when she and Monica went island-trashing ... errr ... hopping, wasn't Monica doing all the poiting?

The one running through the Twin Cities, easier to target.

However, in this case the girl may not be able to parse the stupid comment as being knee-worthy.ShneekeyTheLost wrote:yeah approaching a girl with sexy dress, making a stupid comment, and be kneed in the groin!!!

Though if she does get her feathers ruffled, then you might get to see how well that dress adapts to fitting a fifteen-foot-tall individual who would terrorise a flock of Phorusrhacids.AmriloJim wrote:However, in this case the girl may not be able to parse the stupid comment as being knee-worthy.ShneekeyTheLost wrote:yeah approaching a girl with sexy dress, making a stupid comment, and be kneed in the groin!!!
There are two I-35's that run through the Twin Cities. 35W goes through Minneapolis, while 35E goes through St. Paul.Opus the Poet wrote:The one running through the Twin Cities, easier to target. Especially if you know where a certain exit is.jwhouk wrote:...Which one?Opus the Poet wrote:
