Lots of talk about whether the decision to give Faith money was because of her gender, but...

  • How about a percentage comparison. 50% points to Faith being a prostitute and 50% point to the opposite. Only episode 2 will lead to one being 100%. The cloak at Toad's points against Faith being a prostitute. So does the fact that Faith didn't have her ring when she was slapped by Woody. Faith saying "I'll be fine really" when Bigby says "I'm guessing it would be disappointing for you to turn up empty handed".

    I have a feeling going to the pimp will lead to Beauty, Bigby will tell Beauty about fighting Woody, and that will lead to a stray path.

    What ties Lawrence's mutterings to Faith being a prostitute? Never was it said that Faith worked for Georgie, what he said was "Fuckin' Georgi

  • I chose not to tell because I've ready the comics and know that beast and beauty are loyal to each other. Also I really felt like Bigby didn't give two shits about what she was doing as long as it wasn't endangering the Fable community.

    I chose to give Fath the money because thats what I would do in that situation, if someone is in need of help I try to help them to the best of my ability; I also felt that Bigby would act in that way as well.

  • What do you care? Seriously.

    Because I'm talking about the people who DID lie to Beast, and questioning their reasons for doing so.

  • Guys... chill out, k? Healthy discussion is awesome, but let's not start a fight or something as minor as this.

  • This assumption is based upon feedback from the community, I suppose?

    Well, protecting women has become somewhat of a staple of noir fiction, as usually the female protagonist engages with some unsavory individual, and usually the male protagonist must respond (often approached by the women in question). It is also quite common for the male protagonist to have a predisposition for protecting women (and also not hurting women).

    But in this situation, Bigby is flexible in his behavior. He might help a woman because he generally helps women, or because he is just generally helpful in nature. Or he might do what I did: Refuse to make a promise when he doesn't understand what's going on.

    If the roles were reversed, I'm not so sure people WOULD have told Beauty if Beast were hiding in the bushes. And it's the personality that suggests this, not the gender role. Beast seems genuinely nice and a little like a lost puppy...hard to believe he'd be doing anything suspicious. Beauty, on the other hand...she seems a little more edgy, given her comments towards to about Snow White or her agitation when you try to get answers from her. At any rate, if you chose to lie for her because she looks pretty, well...hopefully she isn't wrapped up in this murder.

  • Good point.
