	Everything I've read about Kory is that she wouldn't care. Sex was like affection to her. Possibly her views rubbed off on Dick (Haw haw haw), I know he's been described that way by Devon, and that's why he did the stupid--took a while for Earth cultural mores to get through the Tamaranian free love.

You might think that from the line she sells, but that's not actually what the character believes, it's a cheap, poorly-thought-out excuse by her writers to make her behave in ways that they would ordinarily judge, without having to actually consider the ways it would make her behave beyond their desired kink of "excessive willingness to have sex with our favorite male heroes." She got pissed off enough to dump Dick when he slept with a shapeshifter masquerading as her, after all, and he wasn't even emotionally invested in her the way he is Babs. And while I've always interpreted Kory's lie to Dick here (telling him it was a wrong address instead of saying it was Babs) as Kory trying to spare Babs embarrassment, it seems equally likely that it's intended to be "Kory jealously undercuts the competition" (certainly, more than enough readers seem to have taken it that way).

	There comes a point in Titans where I no longer see the plot occuring in canon. It comes across as somebody's fever dream. (Reply to this) (Parent)
