Marigold
FourNineFoxtrot:
Yeah, Hanners kinda pissed me off there, all yelling at Marigold and barking orders at her. Having lived in what can basically only be called "filth", I've gotta say that having some overbearing person confront me about it would not have helped.
In fact, it happened, and didn't help. It pissed me off.
Marigold didn't ask anyone to clean her apartment. She said she wanted payment for helping Marten, not to have her stuff poked at by strangers, and condescending lectures from same.
Coffee_Kaioken:
Well, it's still not good to live in filth, no matter what.
But if you fixed up my AnthroPC I'd wait till another time and gently/wisely bring it up in a smarter context/manner as opposed to making it a rude, inappropriate return gesture.
FourNineFoxtrot:
Exactly. I mean, there's such a thing as basic courtesy. Rummaging through a person's home and insulting them, even with the best of intentions, isn't it.
You can't force a person to change. All you can do is offer to help, if they want it. A person has to want to change.
I don't know what's going to happen in the strip, but if this happened to someone like Marigold in real life (i.e., if it happened to me), the place would just be a mess again soon. Maybe just out of spite; I don't know about Marigold, but I'm a pretty contrary person. Push me one direction, and I'll change course even if I was headed that way to begin with.

Hanners' software is buggy remember. Expecting normal social interaction from an OCD-sufferer who's just had all her mess/dirt/disorder triggers pulled would be pretty unreasonable, if we were making real-world judgements of cartoon characters...
Is it cold in here?:
The reason humans can plan ahead is our ability to make judgments about non-factual situations. Those situations could be our possible future actions, or they could be the actions of a non-existent person. Passing judgment on the behavior of a cartoon character is totally human.
Hannelore's problem right now is that she's her mother's daughter.
