I think Simon and Mars get around a lot of Dash s stubbornness by implying Marilyn will be disappointed in his behaviour otherwise. The irony of course is that most of the time she'd just shrug it off, give him a hug and a slice of toast, and go about her day.

And yes, I spent far too much time on Digimon Cybersleuth being inordinately upset about being forced to wear black and yellow because "I look like a stupid bumblebee". If in game purchase had allowed me to change it, fuuuuccckkk that stupid yellow baseball tee.
