WHO Gave Psylocke Permission to Attempt Seppuku , hmmm!?

[Meehl]

She's a British model stuck in a Japanese body. She wouldn't conform that culture anyway.

[Robby Robot]

Isn't all of this perfectly in character? I mean, Psylocke probably has no clue about any actual Asian traditions, so she decides to off herself in the supposedly honorable way but manages to completely fuck it all up.

I agree with this.

I love Buttsy.

She needs to get a kanji tattoo that she thinks means something deep and meaningful but actually translates to something rude and vulgar.

As a tribute to her dead friend Jean Grey, she should get a tattoo saying "Great Phoenix," or in Japanese, "Dai Ho."

Psylocke hates Jean.

"Samurai women could only commit seppuku with permission. The methods of seppuku for men and women are different. Men cut open their midsections, but the women would cut their throats, in version of seppuku called jigai. The difference was probably not to make it easier for women to die, but because of a reverence for the womb where all human life begins. The woman's legs were tied together to ensure a "decent" posture in death."

Even in death she is inauthentic.

Just goes to show you that the x-editors let anything by their door bro.

She is a Brit so those rules mean nothing

If they meant nothing, then why would she be trying to ape the ceremony? Don't be silly.

[OJSlaughter]

We have already established that she didn't come close to the ceremony. Obviously the artist wanted it to look that Seppuku but that isn't necessarily what Psylocke wants nor what Remender wrote.

[halla]

Why can't she be a bold, feminist pioneer making a statement that she is more than her reproductive organs? She chooses not to honor her child-bearing capacity as the most important part of her identity, and to die in the same fashion as a male warrior!

Also, cutting your throat is messy and harder to survive. There are all sorts of ways to survive being stabbed in the womb. I think that's what your second kidney's for.

It is but mere coincidence. Like Halla said, Bets is telling us that she will not be defined by her womb.

[Ian Pressman]

It isn't Seppuku unless it ends with a beheading delivered by a second. Although it speaks volumes about what a drama queen Betsy is. If she slashed her wrists, she would have been gone in seconds; people can survive a disembowelment for hours.

And she didn't even disembowel herself, she poked herself in the stomach with a sword. It's the Princess Di "four paracetemol and a glass of white wine' style of suicide.

That's offensive. Princess Di was killed.

Never trust Prince Philip to fluff your pillows.

[Foon4000]

That's offensive. Princess Di was killed.

Only because she couldn't throw herself down the stairs properly.
