I've been lurking a bit today because being sick gave me some free time, and I just want to know: Why do some of you take this comic so seriously? Why do you write 6 paragraph essays supporting/opposing x shipping? Why do you have extensive, heated arguments on who the jerk of the comic is? Why do you feel the need to disagree on which male character has the biggest penis?
I find it kind of odd how much you poor children obsess over this comic. I kind of doubt you're opinions and arguments will have any actual influence it what happens within the comic (or does it)?

Why dose one have views and fight for anything?
Tobi, You have formed a question based off of a simple question. "Why are we whom we are, Why are we Human, What makes us Human?"
I will guess that we all see some trait that we attract to like we do in real life, so by seeing the two we like most we, as normal people, like to put two of our greatest likes into one thing to created one big mass of our own joy. This being said the whole (X) and (Y) People are just trying to say that they may see more of them or people they know in those two people and or they just like the idea of that charter and their commons sense of people they know tells them that those two would get along quite well.

Taeshi has answered over 12,000 questions on her Formspring, if that gives you any indication of fan obsession. 
As for penis size, there is no argument. Taeshi has specified it exactly.

Well, I'll admit it's one of the reasons I still use this forum.

That doesn't say much. What is large? Girth, length, both? Does Paulo have a short fatty? Do Mike an Abbey have Long thinnys? Or is it the other way around? David's black, so no questions there.

Maybe it is just my choice in forums, but I'd have to throw in there that all forums are like that. We talk about the most random useless shit and make a big deal out of stuff no one outside of the forum would give a flying fuck about.
And I like it.
I'd also have to say that I can't really talk for the part of our community that you are addressing, as I'm more into the debates and community then BCB itself.

It's called social interaction. People enjoy having stimulating conversations and debates. Some people find it hard to encounter people in real life they can have conversations with like that, whereas the Internet is filled with people with similar interests that are easy to find.
Also, a good, well written story should be able to stimulate debates. The fact that this comic is able to do so just reinforces the fact that it's compelling and well written. Do you not have any sort of hobbies or interests you can discuss with people? That would be a sad life indeed and I would say I feel more sorry for you than the people on this forum. Sure, some are a little obsessed, but most of them are generally good people who just like to discuss and share their opinions with people of like mind.

Perhaps I misspoke. I don't think Taeshi wants to get that specific.
It's just a general size guideline, in terms of length.As for David being black, Taeshi has answered multiple questions about that (in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). At this point, the David being black thing is pretty much just a long-running joke, and you can imagine David however you want.

Think about a soap opera.
Think about the entire set of soap operas and their masive number of fans.
Now imagine that someone created a soap opera where all the over the top deaths and returns, rapid falling in love, rampant lies, and every other thing that has turned soap operas into cartoons where replaced with believable, relatable, and interesting events instead. Now imagine that said soap opera managed to entirely escape the cartoonish stigma and desensitization of their genera by replacing the cast with cats and forcing their viewers to view their works with no expectations.
And that is the deal with bcb

Of course it's worth discussing, but I don't think he's so much asking "Why do you guys talk about it?" as he is "why does it warrant enough concern to give some people wrinkles?"

And you just did!
And the sentence is self referential!
Now let’s talk about how talking about sentences referring to themselves when they talk about how sentences that talk about sentences that talk about talking about the comic is idiotic is idiotic.

Imagine that a group of people who read the same comic gather together don't talk about the comic they read. That's fucking weird. Now imagine several people talking about a comic. One person makes a fairly innocuous comment with which some other person disagrees. You get these debates out of that kind of verbal arms race. It's pretty simple: anyone who wants to talk about the comic can at whatever length they please. I understand why some people wouldn't understand why others would spend so much time expanding on a topic, but you have to remember that the community doesn't even exist for anything but commentary and criticism. Everything that doesn't have to do with BCB on this website is just incidental, it grew around the necessity of commentary.

"You poor children"
Way to sound arrogant by implying we're all children and excluding yourself from the rest of us because you're apparently better.
Why does anyone argue about anything? Why do religious people petition gay marriage when, logically, they should have the same rights as everyone else? Why do debate teams exist? Because it's interesting to hear other people's opinions (no matter how retarded) and have a discussion about it.

Well, I am
I guess it was a mistake on my part, what I meant to ask why some of you get worked up about it. I can understand having conversation, but some of you actually seem to get a bit worked up about it.

People will get worked up over anything, doesn't matter what it is as long as somewhere, someone disagrees. Plus, it's a high school drama. Pretty much everyone can relate in some way to a high school drama. The characters are fleshed out well enough that people give a shit what happens.
There's also quite a few people here, myself included, that just like to talk a LOT, and will write volumes on whether or not we'll ever see Mike without his phone, holding it to his chest like a little worry stone.

Mike will be able to tuck his phone away for one night, on the morrow when he finally meets with his Tinúviel again.

... I really do like it that you are quoting Tolkien's Universe. Thumbs up man.
And you can find any topic on the internet that will be argued to death no matter how menial. It just so happens that this comic is quite good so deserves even more heated discussion then something small.

It's not just BCB fans that do this. Now I'm not a hardcore BCB fan, but I understand where people are coming from. For example, I am a huge fan of the Godzilla movies. The fandom for giant men in rubber suits who smash buildings and beat the shit out of other men in these suits is surprisingly fickle in terms of personal preference and the facts within each entity's respective universes. But instead of arguing over who the "jerk" is, the argument usually focuses on "who would beat who" in a fight.
Tl;dr version: You'll find these debates in any group.
