(Anonymous) 2013-03-11 02:07 am (UTC)(link)So what you're basically saying is that if it's not physical affection (ie, hugging and such as mentioned above), it's not love and doesn't count?
Man, fuck you. Even if they weren't an alien civilization, even humans still the ability to love someone and convey that ROMANTIC love through non-physical means. You don't need to be hugging or touching to show it.

(Anonymous) 2013-03-11 03:18 am (UTC)(link)My last words on the matter is this:
a) Fanbois will never believe it is love unless it is demonstrative. If the writers want to make it clear, there should be demonstration. I'm not sure when you mean by showing romantic love through non-physical means. Everyone I've ever loved I have touched at one point or another. A hug, a kiss, just holding hands. How could you not want to physical interact with someone you care so much about?
b) If the TF race somehow doesn't show affection through touch, why do they do every other single thing the way humans do? They DRINK and have PSYCHIATRISTS for god's sake. Why the exploration of love is off limits is beyond me.

(Anonymous) 2013-03-11 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)Boo-hoo. You offended me with your insulting insinuations about what kind of love is "real" love, so why don't we all just sit like stubborn toddlers in separate corners with our arms crossed refusing to talk to each other.
Fanbois will never believe it is love unless it is demonstrative.
I don't care what fanboys (why you keep spelling it with an i, I can't imagine) think about it, and I don't know why you do either. Like much of any story-telling media, it's interpretive. If they want to be delusional and try to explain it away to themselves as no-homo, they can do what they want. It doesn't impact my enjoyment. It literally has NOTHING to do with me.
How could you not want to physical interact with someone you care so much about?
The only thing holding me back from an explosive fit of frustrated rage right now is the knowledge that you're just ignorant about these things, not purposefully dismissive. So I'm going to tell you to read up on things like touch aversion. Maybe brush up on some asexual experiences. Maybe acknowledge that YOUR definition of "proving" love doesn't match everyone else's. I want to believe you have good intentions here, really I do, but damn you need to back off and think about what you're saying a little harder.
If the TF race somehow doesn't show affection through touch, why do they do every other single thing the way humans do? They DRINK and have PSYCHIATRISTS for god's sake. Why the exploration of love is off limits is beyond me.
One more time, for clarity: Chromedome and Rewind absolutely love each other. The only thing they DIDN'T do is outright use the word, "love". If you wanted to make THAT argument, this would be a much different conversation, but instead you're clinging to some notion that in order to ABSOLUTELY PROVE THEIR ROMANTIC LOVE TO THE READERS they have to be physically affectionate otherwise it doesn't count somehow.
Your analogy is flawed, at best. If they drink and have psychiatrists like humans do (seriously wtf is this argument even) why don't they have human genitals too? How come they all speak one language? Why don't they use a toilet? I can go on.

(Anonymous) 2013-03-14 02:21 am (UTC)(link)Making out would be extremely awkward for half the population. I mean, look at the head designs. Be impossible. Also consider the size differences. Why would a species have a physical custom for expressing affection that is damn near impossible for half the individuals within that species to engage it. Imagine if, say, a cassette got involved with someone like Dai Atlas or a Prime...
That would be like if the only way for humans to express affection was for both people in the couple to stand back-to-back with all four of their elbows touching.
