[Brandy Robinson]

People assume that I'm a nice and smart person just because I'm quiet, but little do they know, I'm a party animal (just kidding)

[ediebaby]

Hahaha I loved it!

[Keisha]

OMG! i totally hate assumptions. All my friends parents think im a bad influence but im the nice, smart one. They especially get mad at me whenever i try to discuss world issues with them. WHats so wrong with being mature??? A lot of my guy firends assumed i was a slut before they met me too just because of a reason im not going to mention. WHy cant people just accept people as they are. I've gotten almost every assumption in that comment except the anime one!

[matt aka rex]

well...if a guy asks you out...and if you are really a lesbo rachel just say you are..he will be cool with it...( if that really happend in rl) and if you are not just say no and if calls you a lesbo then just say your not.. lol easy as that

[maddy]

hahaha 12 steps

[unknown]

so true. people think that because im smart and stuff that i listen to classical junk and stuff like that. shit i dont even know what beethoven's first name is or if he even had one or what music he made. it gets me mad because i like clothes and shoes and stuff and reading and drawing too. gets on my nerves.

[Misha]

ooooh. Lemmeguesslemmeeguess. SCTV? Okay, maybe that's an asumption. I love that show. My dad always brings it from the library.
S'like they're in a prison and they're talking to a prison guy,
Prison guy: I'm in for manslaughter.
Whatever-her-name-is: Well if we take seperate the words, boys and girls, it becomes man's ... laughter!
Prison: I assume you think this is funny.
Whatever-her-name-is: Ah, but we should never assume anything, right Mr Messenger?
Mr Messenger: Yeah, because it makes an Ass out of U and Me.
Okay, even if you . . . discovered it some other way it's still hillarious.
As is this comic. Okay yeah whatever by-by

TRUUUUUUUE!
random person: oh you're quiet, you must be a pure angel who never curses or thinks about sex
me: no...
random person: OHH! then you must be one of those psychotic school-shooting quiet types!
me: *resists urge to kick random person in the testicles*

[rosie]

Awwww . . . I love Catwoman!!!

[FunkBot4]

but...but... Marilyn Manson is kool :( Well at least his music is. As angry as the stuff is i can't help but jam to it whenever i hear it.

[Rebecca]

I know this is an old post but I have to say I agree with you on the you like anime you must be addicted. I spend more time watching the history channel then I do watching anime or reading manga I only like a few and I don't rush to watch every new one I hear about. So props for posting that.

[lilliseth]

I read comics and have NEVER gotten assumptions like that. I guess it's just pretty girls who read comics get things assumed about them, not weird nerdy ones. Ah well.

[Brittany]

I like Marilyn Manson...Heh...

Anyways, I hate assumptions. I wear a lot of black and I do listen to horror punk and metal, but then I get called a Satanist every which way I turn.

And when girls found out I was bi they automatically assumed I was in love with them.

*twitch*

[Krista]

Hahaha...I haven't been an otaku since I was twelve. I am SO glad those years are long gone.

I can totally relate to the feminist thing. Men can be feminists too! Feminism is about equality for all genders, transgenders, sexual preferences etc.

I love men and I have a bf who totally supports my strive for equality, it takes less pressure off him and he finds it hot when a woman knows what she wants (without having to be a control freak)

[Blake]

Don't worry, Easy Phil, you'll always be gay in my book. Seriously, though, the correct, heterosexual response in that situation is actually to punch the fucker in the face. Not b/c he's gay and making a pass at you (God no, that would be homophobic!), but b/c he won't stop hitting on you. You tell someone to stop doing something that bothers you and they won't, repeatedly, then you disassosciate yourserlf from that person. If they persist, the "correct", "legal" thing to do is call the police. The likely turn of events is a good-old-fashioned beat-down. I don't care if you're 5' tall, you can kick an average guy's ass if you go through some kind of training (I'm 5'7", and when I wrestled in high school I would regularly get beaten by a guy that was about 5', because he was more experienced and stronger.).

[rosewatermemdhi]

Yeah but let's face it, we all make the mistake of making assumptions at least once. You just gotta learn to not do it again. Very informative comic. I wish I could dance, but just bacuse i'm black doesn't mean I have rythm. *sigh*

[Maz]

I HATE ppl who asume! People think cus I like My Chem that I'm EMO and that I cut(I don't)That because I hate every guy ppl in my school like I'm gay(I'm not they just like stupid d*cks like Zac Efron) I hate it!

[Easy Phil]

I completely know where your coming from! Women see me and automatically think "He must be awsome in the sack!"

... Ok no they don't, in fact, I kind of get the impression that most people think I'm gay.

Seriously, the number of times I've been hit on by other men is getting a little tiresome.

Oh and the pick up lines that some of them use on me are about as subtle as a brick to the head, for example when I was on a train I was having a conversation with this gay guy, just having a laugh at one of my ex-friends expense because he was a homophobic professional dancer, he said he was probably over-compensating and asked me how big my dick was... in retrospect I shouldn't have told him but I'm just too damn honest and shameless:

Him: "Really? 6"? If you really had a 6" cock I would suck it!"

Me: "*Laughs* Thanks but no thanks, I'm not interested in guys!"

Him: "Ok then, but I would still seriously suck your cock!"

Me: "*Slightly forced laughter* And I would decline because I don't find men attractive."

Him: "But if you are 6" why won't you let me suck your cock?"

*Continue ad nauseum until I finally gave in, I unzipped my fly and pulled out my flacid member, he got down on his knees in front of me and approached it with pursed lips- just kidding, I held out until I was able to get off at my station and then never saw him again.
I'm sure SOME of you would have rather heard the fanfiction involving a homosexual act on the train but that's not what happened. Sorry to dissapoint. ^_^;;*

[aria]

that was an amazing comix! it totally shows how easily people make assumptions about others. i think that the only reason people assume the worst is because they are scared to step out of their comfort zone.

[gina f]

I hate the fact that men don't think that women don't like comics! its discrimination!

[Luna]

omfg rachel the great u are so freaking awesome. I've had so many people assume so many things about me. For ex: When I was in middle school I was (and still is! <3) a very happy-bubbly person. So I was wearing black or I was listening to dark music, and people were like, "Why are you wearing that? Your not a goth." I'm just like, "wtf buddy just cuz I am bubbly dosnt mean I can like the color black." I hate people like that. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY JUST COME RIGHT OUT AND SAY IT! They don't even give it a second thought, that "Hey maybe she's entitled to her own teen-angst. Or she just likes the colour black." I swear, I just wannna
slap people like that. I may sound harsh but u get like that when about 65%-85% of your school is filled with preppy bitches who live to make assumptions, make fun of you cuz your part of one of the groups who are "the school freaks." and slut themselves all over the nearest guy, and become "2008'S NEWEST SLUT/WHORES/PREPS! GET YOURS AT SEARS FOR 75% OFF!"....hehheheeh...burn. Anyways great comic! love it, my fave character is Tuna, and some of your comix relate close to me and/or my friends.

I j'adore this comic! I despise assumptions. Just because I'm black, I don't have to like watermelon (Okay, I do, but still!), I don't have to 'jack' cars, I don't have to know how to dance (Hehe...^_^;;). Haha, anyways, it made me giggle, and I've gotten about half of those assumptions! =]
(Where can I find that Otaku 12 Steps handbook? Haha!)

[emily!!!]

This comic ROCKS!!! I hate assumptions to. People assume that bcuz im short, i am sweet and girly, but the truth is, im wild and crazy.(I'm a taurus,so i can admit to the occasional evilness.)
