You know, despite what people were saying in that last thread, I'm having trouble thinking of a male-female friendship in a comic or cartoon that was completely platonic.
Every one I've come across either has one of them secretly wanting to date or ending up together at the end of the series.
>>81419251
Because platonic relationships are a myth.
If you're talking to a girl with a boyfriend, you're a beta.
>>81419251
>that last thread
>like we know what your autistic ass is talking about
>I literally don't read comics
Here is a book where literally everyone on the team of different genders has that exact relationship, it's even a superhero comic book so I didn't have to take the easy route.
Fuck off back to /tv/

Batman and Power Girl/Batwoman/Batgirl/Cassandra/Spoiler/Carrie Kelly
Amanda Waller and basically everyone in Suicide Squad
>>81419251
Deadpool and Emily Preston
>>81419251
That is the medium's fault. It lives on constant crisis so relationships have to be built up and broken down completely.
>>81419315
Hawksmoor and Engineer totally bang. And Jenny's banged like everyone.
>>81419251
MCU Hawkeye and Widow are the only ones that come to mind.
Didn't they have something in the comics at one point?

Something about this feels wrong, but I believe it.

Show me some pages. Jenny stopped being a slut around her Stormwatch days.

This is 2016 people. Are you enjoying it?
Remember, women don't face any kind of oppression.
>>81419401
Oh yes.The bait is coming in nicely already.
Given the topic, the thread is now full of baiter males, it seems.
>>81419434

Now that's being beta
There's nothing wrong with fucking someone if they are a very close friend of yours and they happen to be of the gender you like sexually. Just just doesn't happen that much because people tend to want to be monogamous.
This separation of platonic friend and romantic relationship is a made up concept.
The only reason for someone to be a Platonic friend is because you aren't sexually attracted to them or you are trying to be monogamous to someone else.
>best friend is female
>we're a lot a like, which is probably why I'm not attracted romantically
>still really hot
>about to go on a run
>she's topless and I'm in my boxers
>get a stiffy, because titties
>she makes a joke about it
>we're just standing there, almost nude, banting
Not sure if this is true friendship or we're just fucked up people
>>81419297
As someone that has never had a problem getting pussy but has shit for friends, I hate that this is perpetuating itself to be true when it doesn't have to be.
If I start talking to a girl and we like the same semi-obscure band that happens to be playing that weekend I don't care if she's attracted to me or not desu. It's faggots like you that make it a problem though.

That's...actually quite beautiful m8

Funniest part is, I originally started talking to her because I wanted to see those tits.
Now that I can, I don't give a fuck.
>>81419576
Is this a new age thing? Back when I was in high school, you got dates by asking your female friends for help.

>>81419251
Clint and Kate seem to have more of a sibling relationship. At least in the Fraction run they did.
>>81421344
Clint sees Kate as more of a daughteroo
/tv/, but Catlin and Cisco even joke about being more like siblings when dancing together
>>81420506
It's the same for other females, actually. I was completely socially inept and couldn't pick up on cues worth shit, had to ask my other girl friends to match me up with guys in high school.
>>81420707
I don't like a girl who'll have sex with me, I have sex with girls I like. I cannot do one night stands.

Aang and Toph
>>81419434
Has happened a few times, with my wife girl friends, they bring a new boyfriend, who is a real bro, a "broyfriend" if you like. Then shit hits the fan and we cannot see each other again.
>>81419251
>dat Cap costume
fucking cringe. looks like a bad cosplay.
>>81419251
Donna Troy (Wonder Girl) and Dick Grayson (Nightwing).
It's notable because practically every other woman on the DCU expresses a desire to fuck Dick EXCEPT her.
>>81419297
You are one sad person.
You're aware of it too, that's the saddest part. It'll get better someday, you just have to work at it a little.
>>81419251
Ben Grimm and Sue Storm.
That might be cheating though.
>>81421344
Kate straight up fawns over him when she sees him shirtless in one of the early issues. Which I know is besides the point because there aren't any romantic feelings between them but I just wanted to write something on topic for the thread, since I just came here to say that this
>>81419829 is really hot to me, the intimacy/closeness thing. I know you more or less reposted this from the other thread, but the new phrasing made it better.
>>81422136
They have a rocky relationship

maybe she was just platonically 'mirin

Pepper Ann and Milo.
There's a whole episode about how other people assume they're a couple when they're not.
And in the series finale flash-forward, Milo marries Pepper Ann's other friend Nicky.
>>81419251
Spider-Man and Jean deWolfe
Deadpool and Blind Al, Deadpool and Agent Preston
Mr Hyde and Troll
Loki and Verity
Renee Montoya and Vic Sage
Nightcrawler and the majority of female X-Men he's worked with
>>81419251
Cloak and Dagger.
>>81421344
basically this. theyve never been romantically interested in one another.
>>81422005
Errr but that's as part of larger group that is the Gaang. Aang and Katara were fucking at first sight and Toph always had the hots for Sokka.
I think the real question is whether two characters of compatible gender and sexuality who aren't family, aren't already in relationships/interested in another, are of roughly equal standing, and aren't both part of a larger (4+) group context can be just friends.
Neither Avatar show had it
Steven Universe doesn't really have it. Steven and Sadie maybe, but that's not an equal friendship.
Billy and Mandy maybe if Billy wasn't quite shit for brains.
Code Lyoko didn't.
Ben 10 never had it. Gwen was Ben's cousin and dated Kevin.
Transformers Prime didn't- Jack definitely had the hots for Miko.
I guess maybe SpongeBob and Sandy, but they had an entire episode and more (Karate, Hibernation) of thinly veiled sexual innuendo.
>>81427403
Didn't they have something?

This is what chads and anti-social virgins actually believe
>>81430559
>chads
man, chads don't believe this shit, this is exclusively some /r9k/ bullshit.
I asked my mom about this, and all she could think of were Sherlock and Watson from Elementary and the two characters from Sleepy Hollow. Not /co/ but the only examples I could bring up.
>>81430616
And leddit
Marco and star from start vs?
Though admittedly it's pretty obvious they're gonna get together sooner or later
>>81419251
>>81419434
We've all been there, anon.
>>81419829
Nah, it's normal. Can vouch for it.Just make sure she doesn't volunteer downstairs because no matter what girls say, they don't know shit about that.
>>81419251
That would be because writers and fans project themselves onto characters and the constant changes make for inconsistent characterization. It doesn't help that comics are essentially escapism with beautiful people.
Frank Castle and Rachel Cole, Cap and Black Widow?
>>81421344
Clint treats her like his sister/daughter, but she had a straight up crush on him. It's one of the reasons why she left when he inadvertently shot her down.
Fraction outright said they'd never get together while he was writing them though, so it was clearly one-sided.
>>81430559
The fuck is a "chad"? When did these reddit memes start to infect this board?
You people sound like angsty teenagers whining about jocks and cheerleaders.
>>81419389
Pretty sure that relationship was symbiotic not platonic
>>81419365
Back when Black Widow was an Iron Man villain, she used her womanly charms to stray Hawkeye from the path of good into the dark alley of villainy, but she was mostly just toying with him, while he was truly infatuated with her.
>>81427403
they're siblings
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and April. The shitty love triangle of the 2012 series doesn't count.
>>81419251
I'm pretty sure you're not looking at all.
>in a comic
Lucky Luke and Calamity Jane, pretty much any woman Astérix, Spirou or Tintin meet
>in a cape comic
Spider-Man and Spider-Woman, most characters interacting in most team books
>in a cartoon
Literally most male-female interactions in cartoons are platonic.
>>81434019
Pretty sure "Chad" is an irl meme, not a reddit one. But yeah basically it's a jock without the actual sport.
>>81427875
>Toph always had the hots for Sokka.
See that's shippers projecting shit that's not there.
>>81419434
opposite happened to me

>she ends up moving in
>great drinking buddy, we regularly get trashed and watch nostalgiacore movies, anime, and gossip
>great wingman, steers all her thirsty single friends my way when they come round to visit her
>one really messy breakup later, she never wants to see his face again, avoids me because I remind her of him, and I've yet to find a good drinking buddy to replace her
>>81433828CUTE AND PERFECT
>>81419297
My best friend is a chick. I mean we dated but then we broke up and now we just hang and chill.
>>81419251
You know, for as much shit as /co/ gives Whedon, them staying just best friends was his idea. Apparently there were plans for that pairing in the MCU before he decided that two characters of the opposite sex that work together didn't have to be romantic.
Plus I think Bruce and Natasha have good chemistry.
>>81435624
You almost had me until that last line, Whedon
>>81419297
This projecting.
>>81435624
cap and bwidow had more chemistry in winter solider. bruce natasha felt forced

>>81419297
back to /r9k/
>>81436270
I think they really do. That first scene where she appears to him in that cabin is great. I think they play off each other really well. It's a shame Bruce as himself never gets much spotlight.
>>81437150
>That first scene where she appears to him in that cabin is great.
Yeah because the whole point of that scene was he was too mistrusting of spies to fall for her pretty face. The first Avengers movie sets Bruce up as not being interested in her at all.
But then again he wasn't quite a spineless weenie who does whatever he's told in the first one and Ultron fucked that up too.
