Glyde is a Vegan!

[aarond]

Yeah, I saw this in a post on the Intros forums and I thought it was worth (fleeting) discussion. Does Glyde practice veganism?

We know that he's a little light in the, um, trousers, but does that mean he doesn't like a juicy ol' ribeye on his plate every now and then?

I mean, come on, a vegan[/i]? I mean, speaking from a dedicated omnivore's point of view, that's the wussiest, most panty-waisted kind of vegetarian. They won't even eat butter[/i].

Then again, maybe that DOES fit Glyde...

(I've probably offended half the forums with my vegan-bashing now, haven't I?)

[Fire Griffin]

Now, now there! I take major offense!

=/ Not all vegans are created equal. I'm a vegan, I avoid animal products, I detest hunting...

... But I love gory horror movies, morbid stories involving angsty angsty angst (Well, when it's used responsibly), werewolves (THEY EAT MEAT! OMG.), The Misadventures of Tron Bonne (THE KOBUN EAT MEAT* AND TRON LOOKS AT EVERY ANIMAL AS FOOD!) and things that an assumed peace-loving veggie would probably be up in arms over.

(* In my Toron ni Kobun manga, they have a kobun with a slab of meat hanging out his mouth even. And a cajun crab roast in a box... XD)

Some of us are pretty tolerant. Compared to a lot of them, I am prone to rant at times but I'm very anti-militant (my friends leaflet, I don't unless you see the stack they gave me in my backpack and you're like "CAN I HAVE ONE?"); you'd never know I was a veggie unless you asked. D=

As for Glyde practicing veganism, I don't think so. He does not look like the veggie type. Too arrogant I think; he would have a "I am superior to animals" air and eat'em for that reason.

He feeds fried chicken to his birdbots for crying out loud. =P

[aarond]

I should have known the first person to repond would BE a vegan.

What's up with the "Tron ni Kobun" manga? I didn't know there ever was one.

[Fire Griffin]

Gyahaha. Well... I had to say SOMETHING about it. =X

Anyway, there is an official manga (in Japanese, obviously!) floating around that's ass-stakingly painful to get featuring MoTB. Yes, ass-stakingly painful; it's really rare and seldom, seldom pops up on E-Bay. It's not a drawn out story comic but is instead a big ol' collection of gag manga with different takes on the game from different artists in different styles. Lots of skits and goodies.

Yes, it pokes fun at dominatrix Tron and Glyde x Teisel. Yes, there is a lot of cute art. Yes, I think if you're a Tron fan, this is a must-have. It's about twenty-something bucks and I felt it was worth the money.

Good luck getting a copy of this thing. If you find one with a "BUY NOW" on E-Bay - DO IT. It's out of print. -_o

When I get a scanner, I'll put up some scans of it. I'm afraid to do much though - it strains my poor book.

wate what does that mean?

[Fire Griffin]

Good news: I found my scans. I just need to clump them in one place and upload them to show. Not many but it's Tron and her kobun. YEY.

Elaborate?

[GustaffGlyde]

I’m guessing Fade means “what is a Vegan?” (They’re a strict vegetarian who doesn't consume any animal food or any dairy products and some even choose to abstain from using animal products altogether (i.e. a leather jacket because it has leather in it)).

I could see Glyde being a Vegan, but I think he fits more into the bulimic category. He eats what he wants when he wants it and then… well, you know.

_{and don't worry, it isn't hotlinked...}

[aarond]

That's hilarious. Glyde does need to watch his figure, does he not?

[Dashe]

Yeah, Glyde does seem like someone who'd watch his weight. If he was a vegan it wouldn't surprise me one bit...or if he's not he's probably on some kind of low-carb diet. ;D
