    I like how her last line is actually very revealing about her interests. Like, nah girl, you don’t believe any of what you said before, that’s just the convenient excuse that sounds reasonable, you just don’t want to admit that you’re a freak for monsters.

      Man just wants to be respected as a fully-realized horror with his own thoughts, feelings, and brutal craving for violence and cannibalism, and this girl treats the poor monster like a piece of meat, so sad 😔

      Nah the first and second panel arent contradictory. In the first she talks about men doing non consensual things to her and in the second she seems to be willing to let him eat her out. To me it doesnt seem like shes saying “actually i dont mind men stalking me” shes saying “i would trust you specifically to eat my ass”

        You completely missed the point of what I was saying and misconstrued it entirely. I never said they were contradictory, I said that the second line makes it seem like the first line is just what she tells people so she sounds normal, and the second line reveals her true intentions.

        Also, nothing implies trust in this scene, only that he told her that he plans to eat her, and she Assumed that meant she would get sexual gratification out of it, which he denied.

        Yeah she seems like she’d consent to him going downtown, which is entirely different from the first panel due to the consent. Consent is key.

        Funny enough, the comic this originally is from basically is closer to a “both” moment, seeing as these two got it on and had to hide it from Poison Ivy, because Janet From HR (Yes, that’s this woman’s name) was also boinking her at the time and didn’t want her to find out about Croc.

      I think she’s showing fear when she says that because that thought scares her more than being murdered.
