The Dreadful -- Chapter 6

Poe's not a hooker. That's actually just her and Kit's apartment. Those other women are just hanging out on the bottom steps

EDIT: However, that doesn't mean all of your theories are flat out wrong, Evil. You said some good stuff there.

Not necessarily, no, but, in the context of the non-perfect world we live in (and the one which Kit and Poe live in), being a prostitute typically entails working with and among less-than-nice people, hence its association with sleaze. It's like selling drugs or running a casino: there's nothing inherently bad about either, but they're both surrounded by crime and bad times.

We've already established that in the world of The Dreadful prostitution is not a respectable institution and that Kit buys into that view of prostitution being a thing to rise above (being annoyed by people saying things like "Pinkies are just good for the whore house"), so it would say something about her relationship to Poe if Poe were a prostitute. Not that she is, thanks to Matt clearing that up, but it's fairly obvious how the previous few pages could be interpreted that way, even if that interpretation is wrong. Actually, besides Matt explicitly stating:

there's nothing in comic to say she isn't. Like, you can sell sex in your apartment (though, I'd imagine you'd want to keep that it's your apartment on the down-low, given the previously mentioned less-than-nice people).

Ness, I myself am particularly unsure of when we started allowing off-handed insults of forum members. Would you care to clarify for me when this became the norm?

Alternatively, stop doing it.

E: Nevermind me dumb.

I think he was talking about the character in Matt's story. :P
