While the subject's being tossed around, that, too, is a fallacy. It's called the induction fallacy, after the fundamental problem with the logical process, induction, and the ruling is, you can't say something is certain because it's really, really likely. David Hume is famous for beating western philosophy upside the head with this concept, and, for a giggle, since large parts of Science are inductive, large parts of science are formally fallacious. Weird, huh?

But... but I'm defending the possibility of hawt man-love? Just 'cause most people are straight doesn't mean statuesque proportions are only thing Statesman borrowed from Ancient Greece.

Warden, why would Fusionette necessarily be dreaming of hurting Statesman? She could be okay with Faultline's poly-lifestyle.

By the by, a new Statesline image originating from Unleashed's Forums:
I personally think Marcus prefers Faultline in the granite armour form.
I quess she could be thinking about
That seems much more like the Fusionette I've teamed with. Sparkly Kitties.
I think it's hilarious that we can accept characters who've drank potions, been hit with intergalactic radiation, teleported to alien worlds and experimented on, killed and resurrected, killed and not completely resurrected, and mind ridden by 80 year old hoochies in green celophane armor, who, while they gained the ability to shoot laser beams and withstand being hit by a truck, are absolutely immune to any changes in sexuality. Even when their sexuality has never explicitly been discussed.
Oh, you people and your quaint little categories.*

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

The burden of proof also falls onto the party that makes a claim. Without evidence for the claim that party fails the burden of proof. So if I reject the claim that Faultline and Statesman are in a relationship of some kind, it is NOT my burden to prove they aren't. It is the other party's burden to prove they are.|

You're treading on the edge of another logical fallacy (assuming you're doing more than just waving around your logical fallacy wand), which is Argument from Ignorance: a claim is true if it has not been refuted.

I dunno, I've seen some compelling photos to back the Statesline claim :P

At the risk of being melodramatic: you have to be freaking kidding me. No one actually thinks these two fictional characters are in a romantic relationship. They just thought it was humorous and interesting as a "what if." The "logical fallacy" here is that people are trying to apply logic to something that is completely emotional and arbitrary.
Is Stateman interested in men? I have no idea, but there seem to be quite a few people with emotions riding on "never never never." Conflating this emotion with "logic" is the first and biggest mistake. This isn't an argument about logic at all. If someone wants to imagine the character that way it's their perogative. Claiming that it is impossible for the character to proceed that way is, in fact, the much more egregious error, given that "logic" cannot possibly apply to this situation.
Back on the subject of Statesman, does anyone else notice that on the CoH loading screen, he has a lazy/red/glass eye? It's been driving me insane for 7 years and may be one of the reasons I hate him so much...
But thinking about it Warden, is that really the end of the bat that she'd be holding?
I'll play those odds. And, photo evidence suggests, so would Faultline.
