Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT: 2201-2205 (4-8 June 2012) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
Mr. Doctor:
I felt CompSarge was merely joking around. Sorflakne on the other hand felt hostile.
Is it cold in here?:
We can have a thoughtful conversation here, featuring questions such as "What would you consider healthy assertiveness on Redhead's part, and how would that be different from what she said?", or "What would have been your reaction if a man had spoken the same words, and if you see a difference, why?".
(moderator)
Bigotry, on the other hand, will not be tolerated.

The facial structure isn't right for her to be black, I don't think - Jeph's (usually) pretty dang good at using common traits to help the viewer identify at least a general idea of what race someone is, instead of relying on the ambiguous nature of skin tone. We've already had a couple of Indian girls that have been notable characters (for a while, at least), so maybe he's going for a third?

...Maybe Jeph doesn't know how to draw black people? :/
pwhodges:
Which doesn't cancel anything out, but rather is another thing to be corrected.

Hey guys, I had hoped that sort of thing was getting left behind in the 20th century or earlier; please think before you type.

While I disagree that she is a 'bitch' per se, I think such situations can be handled better. I mean sure she knows what all of this stuff is, and sure it would be obvious to anyone with a fully functioning brain, but to some extent, what kinda got me about her response was when she said, "we're all graduate students, we know the basics." I've had to train new associates before, some with previous experience, some without. I was never told the difference, and when introducing them to the layout of the store, previous experience doesn't make a difference if you're not sure where things are. Of course, without a training guide, I've made up better shit than what Marten came up with. Still, it seems like improper etiquette to say, "I already know this." when someone else is telling you something. Plus, if person a tells person b something, then it should be expected that they 'know' about such after the fact, so saying "I know" is kinda redundant.
