realistic problems
So , I dont think this is innapropriate but instead a realistic and problematical matter. Clementine getting her period. Either this season or the next, what will she think? Has anybody talked about it with her? Plus, if the girls die, she will only be with men which is quite awkward. And it is probably hard with ANY female to cope with her period at a zombie apocolypse. No pads, tampons, and extra underware... damn. Anyways I think this is a rather interesting subject to bring up in TWD

My concern about that if it were real life would be if the Walkers could smell it. It is just another disadvantage we women would have in the ZA, but then again ancient Women dealt with it.
I feel so bad for her. Damn that's going to suck. HOPEFULLY she doesn't get bad cramps. V_V
Well, it'll be a few years, but it'll suck. Take it from the girls on the forum, myself included. Periods suck, i'd imagine they'd be worse in the ZA.
Yep. That's enough of the forums for now.
Periods aren't weird. I was called a pedophile for talking about it before, which doesn't even make sense for multiple reasons, but periods are just a natural way of life. Without periods, none of us would be here, and Clementine is nearing that age, or at least nearing the age when I started that "fantastic" stage.
I wasn't calling periods weird. I was calling the fact that we're discussing an eleven year old fictional little girl having periods, and the fact that it's an actual serious discussion not a "Question you ask your friend when you're really bored and want to get a funny reaction out of someone" discussion.
Like, let's just alter this. Instead of Clementine having a period, maybe...Larry having hemorrhoids. That would be a weird thing to talk about. Not because hemorrhoids are weird, but the thought of it is weird. Nobody wants to imagine Clementine having a period, as much as nobody wants to imagine Larry having hemorrhoids. Now, the second I start talking about Larry having Hemorrhoids is when I think I should leave.
Actually she's not to young to get it now. Its normal to get it at 11, and clems 11.
This right here is one of the main reasons I hope to avoid playing as Clem Next season. The only other option is to just skip it, like they skip characters using the bathroom.
So you'd rather not play as clem at all just because of her period?? Its a natural thing. I dont think it needs to be taken to the extent were you'd rather not play as her.
Man, even in real life, being women is hard. Periods are natural but rape, getting disturbed by someone sexually, always seen as a sex toy that's... that's just... disgusting. I mean I can't know because I'm not a women but all of those things happening to women's just makes me hate humanity itself even my own sex sometimes. I can't imagine what would happen if that ZA actually happens in real life. I know your topic is not about that at all and I'm sorry if I carried this discussion to somewhere else but I just wanted to say this.
Yeah that's a very stupid reason to not wanna play as Clem if that's there logic they can't stomach a girl on her period but are fine with people getting there guts ripped out......LOGIC
Yeah it pisses me off when I see other guys say "LAWL WOMEN ARE ONLY FOR SEX AND MAKING ME SANDWICHES!" I just think really are you fucking kidding me?!
Sometimes It pisses me off that I feel like I'm one of the few guys nowadays that knows to treat women with respect...
I think it would be really good comedic relief. Can you imagine Kenny or Luke being clueless trying to give Clem advice? It should be incorporated as a light hearted joke more than a full blown problem.
I'm glad that I'm not alone. You're not either
All of my jokes, aside. My honest thoughts on the subject are...It will probably be glossed over. Like Walkingcommenter said, the game never really went to into detail about the characters and their...private business. You never had to see or talk about Lee taking a shit. Does Lee take shits? Yes. But it's not really worth the games time to talk about it. Unless, TellTale wanted to make a really awkward shitting QTE.
Same here. Is Clementine going to have periods? Yes. But does the game need to go that much detail? I guess I can understand if they want to show that Clementine is maturing, but I would assume that would cause some controversy from those asshats at Fox News or some crap. And I like to imagine that TellTale is above the belief that "Bad publicity is still publicity."
Eh fuck Fox News they're the biggest Jackasses in the news industry.
That would actually be so hilarious, like Kenny sitting down trying to give Clem 'the talk'. [Glare] option all the way haha.
xD OMG.
I always wondered how the smell doesn't draw any zombies...
I mean, there were a lot of women in the game, how?
I'm imagining Kenny having to explain it to her... 0_0
To, alter the words of Vince.
"Fuck Fox News."
Kenny:So ummm there is a time in every girl's life when uhh she uh becomes a women...
Clem: What do you mean?
Kenny: Um well uhhhhh WELL fuck um maybe Luke can explain this to you...
Luke: "What? NO! How the fuuuu... I... I uh... heh...
Clementine: [Glare Luke]
Luke: "I think I need to take another hike." vanishes
Kenny: "GOD DAMMIT WHERE THE FUCK IS LUKE?!"
Honestly, the chances that any of the TWDG characters are still having their period is very, very low. Menstruation is one of the first things to go when you're suffering from starvation, and even stress can stop it. Unless Clementine gets into a safe shelter with adequate comfort and food, she's not going to be getting her period any time soon.
If you want to talk about realistic problems in the Zombie Apocalypse, why not talk about something more simple. How about the fact you never see Clementine drink water, the human body needs approx 64 fluid ounces of water each day. That is about 2 liters of water. I don't think i have ever seen them mention them getting water, having water or drinking water. She would of been dead by now of systematic organ failure if this was RL.
How about the fact that she is also wearing dirty soiled clothes, that she hasn't changed in who god knows how long. She never bathes, she would have all sorts of hygiene problems, including rashes, skin infections, blisters etc. Which could develop into something more serious. Lack of a balanced diet would leave clementine weakened to disease.
This would be exactly like if Kenny explained period to Clem:
I wouldn't know whether to laugh, quit the game forever, or sit there uncomfortably if they did that.
Realistic to a flaw.
THIS IS WHY WE NEED CARLOS!
Imagine if it was Nate who had to explain it to her... O.o
xD STOP I CANT BREATH!!!
"Mash A button to strain."
"Move control stick to wipe."
And, get the bonus DLC, "Lee runs out of toilet paper."
I was actually thinking about this while watching the TV show. It'd be trouble to deal with. I don't think smell would be a problem though, because it's half blood and the rest is internal tissues and such. If the smell of blood and internal tissues really caused zombies to go nuts, then they'd all be devouring each other. In fact, it might actually provide a good sort of smell camouflage!
It'd be interesting to see if they decided to deal with it. Going through puberty is something that everyone does, so the comparison to speculation over characters maybe having hemorrhoids doesn't really hold up. And it's a lot more significant to their life than taking a shit, so that comparison doesn't hold up either.
Not sure they would touch the subject, but it could be interesting.
Luke: "Oh god Clem, are you injured??? You've got blood down your leg!"
Clem: "ummmm..."
Kenny: Dammit, QUICK CUT OFF HER LEG IT'S BITTEN!
Clem: * glare *
While we're on that subject, according to the comics, it isn't the walker bite exactly that turns you into a walker, but it's all the disease in the walker's mouth making contact with broken skin that kills you,Thus, making you turn. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not a doctor or anything, but wouldn't you get a fuck-ton of disease from rubbing walker guts all over you?
Or Alvin.
I hope Telltale doesn't do this, or at least go into detail. Nobody wants to play Clementine going to the bathroom and her bleeding down there. Just something subtle would be fine, for instance Clem says "God, I hate having cramps."
The world would be vast swarms of flies if there that many corpses around walking, and the flies would just simply eat them, but that wouldn't be much of a show.
I think that what ever caused the zombies to turn repels things like flies and most of the microorganisms that cause decay.
I think it would be funny if Clementine got her first period but she's only with Kenny, Luke, and Nick(determinant) and they have to awkwardly explain to her whats going on
Sometimes I worry about you people.
