--- Quote from: mira on 16 Dec 2010, 10:27 ---This just keeps getting stranger and stranger. People should stop projecting their own problems and experiences on these characters and, if you must, analyze them instead based on the context of the story. This is not dismissing your pain or your experience if you've been sexually assaulted. I am simply saying that this comic is not attempting to make any statement about sexual assault or crime. Note, no assault happened, characters acted in ways they normally do (whether you like that she socked him or not) and things have moved on in the story.
Jeph said nothing to demean anyone's experience as a victim of sexual assault. Seriously? Talk about out of character. Don't know the guy but I definitely have seen NOTHING to lend itself to that interpretation.
Please, remember we are talking about the comic in here, not commenting on your real life experiences. Sometimes stories don't match reality and they definitely don't always match our personal realities. So, in commenting on his creation, this comic, he was in no way, I'm sure, meaning to make some statement about your situation.

Hey, you know what might be cool? Not dogpiling the girl who got triggered.
No, really. It's been said over and over again. I'm sure she got the picture. Telling her about how she's overreacting and how her feelings are wrong are hardly helping things. I'm not saying anyone's right or wrong, but let's just all calm the hell down and move on, okay? Please?
Superkid11:
People projecting their own problems onto this strip has been practically a staple of comic discussions. I was quoting mira more in response to that general trend and not that specific one, and I assumed that's generally what they meant other than that mention.
... still yeah sorry. Most cases are less justified/much whinier than that. I came in late here.

Could be, I've only had about three hours sleep since Monday so the last day has been kind of a blur.
