WCDT: 2323-2327 (19-23 November 2012) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
Rockman:
I am eagerly awaiting the Thanksgiving strip (TURKEY TIME!) for two reasons:
1. It is always hilarious.
2. It may prove distracting to the direction of this thread, which at first I found very enlightening and now... well... let's just say that bunker party's sounding pretty awesome right now, tinned peaches or no.
Blackjoker:
On a topic related to the comic and less to the current posting, why does Clinton seem to hate Marten so much?

My guess? Probably because Marten threatened him with a sword when Clinton was perving over Hanners.
indigo:
...And this is why I am filled with dread at the progression of the current story arc.
Because Jeph will certainly treat the subject matter with care and respect, but no matter what he does, no matter how he proceeds, he cannot win. If everyone in the cast is fully accepting of Claire as she is, for who she is, Jeph will be derided for displaying an inaccurate representation of the realities trans people face. If, say, Emily, behaves as Emily does, as is characteristic for her, with an innocent lack of tact and sensitivity, Jeph will be condemned for somehow endorsing such tactlessness and insensitivity. If Claire displays any sort of personal preference that does not completely align with the "acceptable" trans experience (as has already happened, by her saying that it was okay for Marten to answer honestly if someone asked) then Jeph will receive even more abuse, as if each and every trans person must be exactly the same.
And every flame, every complaint, every bit of condemnation, will begin with or include the word "cis".
This makes me incredibly, incredibly sad. For Jeph, and for everyone else.
And that is all I have to say.

Now I'm going back to the reinforced bunker.

Can I get in there with you. I promise I'll leave my Dick-broom outside.
I think I broke it anyway. No matter, it was useless to begin with.
