He can be a jerk and still deserve defending. People are acting like he's irredeemably evil, so those of us who think he's just a jerk need to defend him.EvanAierkan wrote:Bino might not be evil but a jerk for sure. No point trying to defend him for what he's doing at the moment, it's starting to go out of line and there's nothing positive in it. I bet Fox is going to show up to save King's watch, but won't give it to him unless he comes clean. Sasha might also come up, scolding Bino being a jerk who probably won't take the hint. Fox learns the truth, drama involves, cosmic nerds shows up and King has to decide on his fate, arc ends. Calling it right now.

Re: Arc 42: Not All Dogs
Bino also has his fans. Or fan. Whatever. x3
Things are not clear-cut, there isn't a right or wrong answer. Bino is certainly a jerk, but he is not evil incarnate and some of us can empathize with his world view. *shrugs*

Re: Arc 42: Not All Dogs
He's not evil incarnate, he's just jerky dog incarnate, I don't see anything good coming from what is happening/about to happen though.
Sent from my conifer.
Re: Arc 42: Not All Dogs
so much discussion.... I bet Rick is totally enjoying this.
Bino isn't evil incarnate, though he would be if he knew he full consequences of his actions and yet was still acting the way he is now. I agree with Dissension how Bino is really just trying to keep his position. He is just doing that in a mean way. Everyone is scared for King and I think that is what is making everyone (me too a little) gang up against Bino in the comments and discussion.
all I can say is things are getting intense.

Re: Arc 42: Not All Dogs
Bino is a jerk theirs no denying that but hes not Evil incarnate. if anything he might be a little lawful- evil at tops, and there's nothing really wrong with that my best comparison might would be Sinestro. (just toned down) I really love his you can't win because I can't lose mentality

When have we ever seen Bino desiring to KILL ANYONE? That's an EXTREME position which is inappropriate for the comic's rating.

well, we still don't know for sure that death would be the result of smashing the watch. it may just result in a feeling of emptiness, like he's missing part of his soul.

Re: Arc 42: Not All Dogs
keep in mind there are multiple parts of a soul, and I imagine fate would probably be the least important part, so missing that part would just leave that feeling of "I should be doing something right now, but I can't think of what it is" that we all get sometimes when we forget what we're supposed to be doing. not worse than death.

Re: Arc 42: Not All Dogs
this is hypothetical whether or not Bino would smash it if he knew what it really was. it's likely that he won't actually be able to smash it.

A lot of people can learn something from this arc, King, Bino, Fox, it depends where it goes. I'm very curious seeing as this is a very negative turn of events.

Re: Arc 42: Not All Dogs
I say the hammer will bounce off of the watch, and Bino will have hit it so hard that it hits his head when it bounces.
Re: Arc 42: Not All Dogs
I kinda want Grape to come in and attack Bino. That would fulfill like six of my wants for this arc.

Re: Arc 42: Not All Dogs
And why is everyone thinking King has manipulated Sasha? He asked her help, in the limits he couldn't say who is under his fur, and she accepted either out of friendship (King being SPONTANEOUSLY nice to her, twice at least, remember?) or gratitude.
Also, Sasha has proved to have her wits (the gift arc) and to have grit (right in the latest comic), and at times she dumped Bino for Fido (Nple date arc), so...is it so terrible the idea she might be helping King knowing what she's doing, even if she couldn't be told King = Joel? Give her some credit, folks!

Re: Arc 42: Not All Dogs
Agreed. Joel may be a terrible person, but King's not. He seems to truly like Sasha, and the feelings are probably mutual. Sasha knew what she was doing, there was no manipulation.

Re: Arc 42: Not All Dogs
Joel is a former criminal, per the comic. Even not knowing that Joel is King, Bino would tend to assume Sasha was manipulated. I've never implied that King forced Sasha to do anything. He did get her to engage in a morally questionable act (which actually serves as a reminder of his troubled past). Whether she knows that King is Joel is irrelevant to the question of whether it's okay to steal from even a jerk like Bino.
