The thread in which we ask birdiearch questions to get over her social anxiety issues

[bug on your lip]

can someone just drive over to Vigo's place and take a picture of his damn face? The birdie banter is losing it's steam

[nathanfairchild]

He was defending my honor. The end.

oh lulz

[birdiearch]

Hey birdie arch if your BF met me would he punch me in the face too?

I would trust you to be more civil, so no.

[guedita]

Uhh, history of rape.... I do have "honor".

I'm sorry, did your boyfriend somehow mistake Vigo telling him he liked you as a definitive threat that he intended on raping you?

[TomAz]

Your BF is a fucking scumbag, birdie arch. I imagine the reason you stay with him is because you don't have enough self confidence to think you can do any better. And the times he loses his temper with you and slaps you across the face, you know those times are wrong, but gosh, he really didn't mean it, he just gets upset. You know you should leave, you should get help, but you really do love him, you think you can heal him.

[nathanfairchild]

Uhh, history of rape.... I do have "honor".

Now it's clear. He couldn't prevent what happened to you, it made him feel incredibly weak, so now he's way over-compensating.

[guedita]

Dude, you flat out told him that you liked me... I kept my cool, but there was no need for that. You had that punch coming.

No one's "honor" is being defended if this is the true scenario of what happened.

[birdiearch]

If he ever hit me, I would leave. End of story.

[birdiearch]

No one's "honor" is being defended if this is the true scenario of what happened.

That's the PG rated version. Hence "dressing up".

[TomAz]

I think you're full of shit, birdie arch. I think you're telling us this because you want people to actually believe it about you, it doesn't matter who, strangers on the internet, it's ok, as long as they believe it. Because if we believe it, maybe you will too, someday.

[guedita]

"Dressing up," btw, implies that you embellished the story.

[bmack86]

Vigo, time for you to weigh in here. Post a photo of your bloody nose.

[TomAz]

Vigo, did you go up to birdie arch's BF and say, dude, your gf is hot, i really want to fuck her, preferably against her will? Cuz I'm having a hard time seeing it.

[PlayaDelWes]

Protip Birdie Arch: The safe word is "FoxNews" and they'll all go away.

hahahaha

[guedita]

are you upset?

A little. At least you didn't make a move.

And not usually (this is the second time), but they both had a bit to drink.....

Hmmmm....

On a scale of 1-10, how rapey was Vigo being

[bug on your lip]

i dunno

if Vigo's face looks like a venereal disease and his body odor reaks of GTA-V and then he started telling me how smokin my girl is i'd probably punch him too

[GuyInTucson]

Guys, seriously, who here doesn't want to punch Vigo in his face?

[GuyInTucson]

nbvcide

I don't think Birdie is a minor.

If the board had a collective sig, this would be it.

[ThatGirl]

I think all parties involved should get on Tinychat and each provide their version of this tale, using large story cards and their choice of suitable background music.

[heart cooks brain]

Vigo.

please produce a Bloom County comic depicting your evening with birdie

[guedita]

I don't think anyone's denying the impetus of wanting to punch Vigo in the face, and that's a standard joke that has been made of the situation. But wanting to, expressing a desire of wanting to, and actually doing are all different territories that yield different results. By birdie's account, Vigo "flat out told him (you) liked me," and that alone seems to be defensive grounds for being punched (because, honor defending?) though she also admits to Vigo, post-event that "at least you didn't make a move," suggesting that whatever "threat" that compelled her boyfriend to act wasn't actually physically OR VERBALLY directed toward birdie. Neither has she made any mention of her boyfriend using a cooler headed, verbal response to thwart/express distaste with Vigo's words before resorting to physical violence.

Translation: BA BF is a scumbag dickwad.

[guedita]

Yes. Birdie, whether or not it's you propagating the "he did this to defend my honor" bullshit rationalization or him doesn't really matter. Quit thinking like that. He's an immature asshole that you should not be spending time with.

[birdiearch]

Fine. I'll dump him.

[guedita]

How long have you even been with him?

[nathanfairchild]

Birdie, do you assure him that 5 inches is more than enough?
