"Huh." Karkat knows so many wrong things about humans that it's kind of sad. Cease this mockery of helpfulness. Or don't, because it's hilarious. "I was going to ask how much unwanted kissing was happening for it to be necessary, then I remembered..." with a vague wave of his hand. Everyone kissing everyone being unwanted to YOU isn't the same as someone kissing you unwanted, Karkat.
"No," he finally says after a moment's thought, though he sounds a little protests-too-much all over again. "It just doesn't work that way. We're fundamentally different but that doesn't make the concept of putting one person in all quadrants at once any less stupid to me. Black and red can only work as vacillating because the violence inherent in black would be disturbing in a red romance. If someone were to feel all quadrants at once it means that some of them aren't deep enough to be real."
This is what happens when you're stuck on a meteor with only Dave Strider and Rose Lalonde to tell you about humanity. They cannot be trusted not to make shit up simply for the sake of making shit up. It is basically a hobby for the two of them for some godforsaken reason?? And Dave is trying to grasp the troll quadrant system (kind of) but he ends up just shrugging. "I don't think that's true? I man, maybe for y'all, but don't let yourself be alien racist about our "flushed" romances. It's...basically a bunch of different feelings that cluminate in "I really fuckin' love you", and that means a mix of all your bullshit and some of our own?"
