--- Quote from: no one special on 27 Sep 2012, 01:06 ---I agree with you, I didn't think it was insulting at all. But Jeph thinks it is, so therefore it is. I must accept it.
--- End quote ---
No, if Jeph thinks it is, then Jeph thinks it is. You don't have to accept anything.
--- End quote ---
Word of God. If Jeph says it's insulting within the canon universe, then it is. It may not be offensive irl, but in QC, Jeph is the creator. He decides how things are, and so long as they don't infringe too badly on our willing suspension of disbelief, we have no reason not to accept them.

Only if you accept the concept of Word of God, which you are under no obligation to do.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand. If Jeph is the creator of the QC world, and he says something exists, and it doesn't contradict any earlier-established facts, how is the new statement not fact within that world?
--- End quote ---
Because QC canon is stuff that happens in QC. Stuff Jeph says about QC is stuff Jeph says about QC. He has every right to say what he wants, and it's interesting to think about, but the two are not equal. The new statement is fact within the world if and when he implements it within the world.

Mm, fair point. I guess what's canon for one person is opinion for another. Sort of a "your mileage may vary" deal.
DSL:
Something that illustrates the difference: Jeph creates the "tweets" for the QC characters Twitter accounts, but says himself the tweets aren't *necessarily* canon.
Unless, you know, they provide an opportunity for something to happen in the strip.
