    "Freakin' sex machine".... :/
    For me and most of the people I know, that wouldn't be our first thought.

    When your choices are limited to sheep and wallabies, I guess an albinotic Paul Bettany would do.

    Because they really wanna be good guys?
    Or they wanna look like they are good guys to get people to trust them?

    It's symbolics for god sake, It dosn't ahve to mean anything.

    It could be that it goes nicley with the black....

    Well I've seen worse, not complexion wise though. And sex with sheep is down a little south in New Zealand. As for wallabies they stink and are covered in fleas, hence I would rather root my pet turtle Morten.

    And Wobbler, you go on about symbolism and now you think it is not important. Make up your mind. And you're telling me this evil power ranger wants to be good, he tries to kill people each day but he is a good person?

    Of course he was, anyone stupid enough to let a guy dressed like that get close enough to kill them deserved to die. He was serving as executioner for the greater good.

    But that does raise the issue of why Batman wears black.

    Hmmmm regardless of the symbolism, I just dont think a white batman sneaking through the rafters at night in absolute silence would of worked very well.....

    Batman just wanna be a bat, whom are black..


    Symbolic or not Symbolic.

    It doesn't always has to be symbolic, sometimes it's acutally just aobut the colour.

    Your theory that all things of a color must be equivlantly symbolic to be valid is fucking idiotic one. Symbols follow action, action doesn't follow symbols. A superhero might CHOOSE black or white because of symbolic meaning, like how it emphasizes their tortured soul, or they might CHOOSE it because they like the FUCKING color.

    In literature, authors often choose colors based upon symbolic meaning, because in literature, you can do that. In the real world, people choose colors based upon what colors they like, or what they get on sale at the Gap. I know many a resistance force who's uniforms were chosen because a clothing store I know fucked up an order and wound up with 10,000 extra shirts, all of one color.

    Just because A CAN follow from B, doesn't make A a necessary condition of B, and if it isn't a necessary condition of B, you cannot assume that all things possessing B also possess A. Meaning, SOMETIMES colors are chosen by symbolism, but that doesn't mean that all colors are chosen by symbolism, or that all color choices have symbolic meaning at all. I mean, what's the meaning behind the blue and orange of the Mets? Depression and a high dose of Vitamin C?

    I really didn't want to see repeated images of tubgirl every single day...

    Sweet mother of God, whose idea was it to give Tel a tubgirl avatar? I read these forums at school occasionally, and I had to contend with that damn picture, and also a gay picture of batman and robin making out.

    I'm super grossed out here.

    Not that I have any say in this, but can't we institute the Codex-rule when it comes to gross/explicit/NSFW stuff like this? The Codex-rule being: "Not as an image, have the decency to put that crap behind a cleverly-disguised mislabeled link"

    I don't like that rule, but I really don't like having tubgirls pop up all over the place either (especially not when I'm the one who put them there), but the tubgirl in question seems to have done its job by stopping Telcontar and wobbler's chat, so:

    We have a new rule here now.

    Well, I say that's enough of it. Tel's got his avvie back and I don't have to stare at some white square with text in it whenever I want to jack off to Paul Bettany.

    I'm pretty sure that you having that avatar again can be arranged. So you'd better track down Paul...
