        They deserve to have the heads explode after 1)forcing him to go to therapy because of Joyce, and 2)treating his singleness as a bad thing. They are as bad dumb as Amber’s mom, and as bigoted as Linda and Carol.

            I’d guess that it’s a storyline from Roomies, since I don’t think Danny has ever been to therapy (and has barely interacted with Joyce at all) in this continuity.

    I mean both “baby girl” and “foxy mama” are better than calling her “sloppy seconds” (which is (a) a really gross way to refer to somebody; (b) a ridiculously inaccurate way to refer to somebody you have never and might not ever get intimate with; (c) did I mention that reducing somebody to a receptacle for ejaculate is disgusting, dehumanising, sickening, insulting, and just plain terrible? And (d) slut-shaming a supposed friend who you know struggles with people projecting their expectations onto is really nasty (also completely uncalled for but even if she were a female Joe it wouldn’t be acceptable)) but yeah, I can see why – based on what she knows of him and coupled with him also laughing and apologising – she could see it as almost charming…

    My opinion of Danny really plummeted with that comment though. If, when he’s angry enough, misogynistic bullcrap spills out of his mouth, that means it’s in him to start off with. Also he’s angry with Walky and possibly his exes so he decides that trying to seduce his female twin while mentally reducing her to a vagina makes sense?? Messed up.

        September 21, 2019 at 7:24 am | #

        Not purely by their worst moments, but they are a part of who you are. I mean Carol is not always trying to bail the person who threatened both his own and her own daughter with a gun out of jail saying if he could be jail for simply threatening them with a gun it could happen to any of them. But the fact that threatening her children with a gun is apparently an option she wanted to keep open changes how I see the potential risk of telling her about Jocelyn.

          I agree. I do think Danny has shown good intentions in a number of situations up until now and he had quite the nasty revelation just before now. I don’t blame him for being a bit of an a-hole as a result as long as it’s just a temporary hiccup which this clearly is.

      I suspect it’s more that he used a common metaphor without considering the origins or implications than that he was actually mentally reduciner her to a vagina. Worth pointing out to him how it sounds, but it doesn’t have to be some deep insight into how he really sees women.

      • Norah
        Norah
        September 21, 2019 at 2:56 pm | #

        Yes, I think Danny just used a common expression without thinking. I think if someone were to point out the implication, he’d be appalled and wouldn’t use it again. He doesn’t appear to be the type of person who only values women for one thing. I also think he might’ve picked up unfortunate ways of speaking from Joe.

    • Rachel

      September 21, 2019 at 2:22 pm | #

      Hmm, I didn’t read it that way at all. I figured he was just using that phrase in the sense of, “these are people I’ve dated who are now seeing other people” and not in the sense of “they’re garbage now that they’re not with me”. It sounded fairly harmless in this context, to me. As for Sal, pretty sure he thinks he’s not cool enough to get with her. He’s pulling a stunt here because he’s feeling frustrated and ridiculous, but I don’t think he expected anything to come of it. I mean, look how surprised he is in that last panel here. Just my two cents. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Sure, but you’re probably not doing it after declaring you want to bang them because you’re pissy their brother is dating your ex and you’re pretty sure their brother won’t bang them? And referring to them as ‘sloppy seconds’.

          I’m assuming he actually just felt like seeing her anyway.
          But since he started thinking about how Walky ends up falling for his exes at the same time, the thoughts just kind of collided.

          And then he said/implied something stupid, but I don’t think there was an actual plan to seduce Sal to get back at Walky.

          That said, “sloppy seconds”? Come on Danny, you’re a better egg than that.

      Thank you. I low key project onto these two bc most of my closest friends are guys. The shipping comments give me ‘Nam flashbacks to high school and everyone’s straight nonesense

              Or just flew. Why can’t Jedi fly again? They should be able to, they can telekinesis anything and use that to assist their own acrobatics.

              Or maybe just hurled a bunch of rocks at Obi-Wan. Why do Jedi keep forgetting they can use telekinesis?

              Or maybe taken a moment to reprogram that flying cargo thing he was on to fly higher? He was both a good pilot and a good technician, he could easily have adjusted the output of its engines. Why do Jedi keep forgetting they have ordinary skills too?

              Or he could ha- *gets dragged away for the sake of everyone*

                I mean, his opponent in this case ALSO has telekinesis and probably wouldn’t just hang around politely waiting while Anakin reprogrammed the cargo platform.

      Actually, no I’m not feeling silly in the least. More disappointed that it went this way and didn’t end with Danny getting beaten. Any dick who refers to a girl as sloppy seconds deserves to get kicked in his.

        Yeah, that’s ot acceptable.
        I’m not going to hate him forever for it though, I feel like it’s one of those fugly bits of patriarchy that still stick to anyone, even good eggs, who haven’t yet put in the work of deconstructing society. And well, for a male 18-yo from an emotionnally damaging family in Indiana circa 2019, he’s not doing too bad. He needs to do better, sure, but I feel he will. Else I’ll cry.

    Yes, they’ve become good friends and I’m glad. I also apologise to Danny for doubting him for a moment! Watching them laugh at Danny trying to imitate Joe is a genuine cause for smiles.

    Meanwhile… I do think that they will date at some point, even if only out of curiosity about what it would be like.

    I just want to call it: everything’s good and well for now, but Danny’s comment will come back to bite him in the butt. Dina is going to remember what he said and say it in front of Walky or Sal or smth and he’s gonna get punched in the face.

      He always gets the girl (or boy now) through sheer stupidity and dumb luck, even if Willis will make him suffer like a cosmic punching bag. His marriage with Billie is still something I found as both good and bad depnding on your personal interpretation.

    Decide what you want, Danny! It’s either baby girl of Foxy mama. Also, even if I don’t see this ship working, this two have a good chemistry as friends. The lack of aliens and baby switching makes Sal more mentally healthy.

    I think Sal and Danny are great as friends and I cannot see them in a romantic relationship at all, but I can see why Danny suddenly got this idea: If he dated Sal, Walky would most definitely not date her after him.

      If Danny is serious about any of this, I hope Sal tells him of quickly. Also, risking his friendship with Sal to spite Walky seems… ill-considered. I thought Danny had grown past this.

        I often call my husband “daddy” in front of and when talking about him to our young children. In other contexts I either use his name or a term of endearment like “sweetie” or “lovely”…
