>>78030810>That doesn't make the development really fucking stupid. It's not really funny, it isn't even a joke.I am stopping you right now and I don't think I should bother reading the rest.
Dave MAYBE turning bi, is not the development I am talking about.
I am talking about first and foremost about his relationship with his brother and how he perceive hiumself, what it means to him to be a hero, what he want to become later on. How he grew up to relalize he was trying to stuck to an ideal he didn't really believe and that all in all was his Brother/father, a man he realize was an awful person he has grew to despite.
And he has to reconcile that notion with liking himself for who he is, while also accepting that Bro was a bad person, wile at the same time acknowledging he was trying to be like him is an huge part for Dave.
That's the center and heart of his two convos with Dirk and it turn out into Dave being happy to finally having a bro he can love that is a decent person: Dirk.
That Dave might come out is only a very small part of all this and of actual minor importance.
It can almost be considered as an aftermath: Dave having finally found out a real Bro worth of loving, ask him for little real life tips, as a bro would actually help out.
Dave maybe coming out wasn't played at all. It's barely an opening for the next conversation, in no way a conclusion.
And those two convos were loaded with small jokes everywhere.
You are trying to make a big deal and the corner stone of something that was more of an incidental value.
>that wasn't played for laughs at all. He played that one completely straightI'd say, there might be a good chance it's played for laugh. A lot of people think of Davekat, but seeing how Karkat reacted when John implied that ship, it's actually not happening. No Dave's love is actually already know. he is in love with the Mayor
