Soulsynger:
Through all this talk about Marigold, aren't we all forgetting that she has been IN OUTER SPACE? ...

She's just a bit insecure in social situations for lack of training. When she first got introduced I might have suspected some mental issues but judging by the latest two weeks of strips I'm certain there is no cause at all to suspect even something like a mild asperger's anymore.

She put her foot in her mouth. The only information available to her on how to deal with this situation comes from manga and movies. It's pretty common in those to ask a friend to ask someone out. When Momo refused for pedagogic reasons, Marigold was taken by surprise and she blurted something out.

(I know I'm probably a day too late for this but seriously, cool your jets.  :-D )

@friday's comic:
It seems pretty normal for Hannelore to fluke on Momo being an anthropc. She's been around A.I.s her entire life. Her brain probably makes little distinction between A.I. and human interaction anymore. °O

No S**T Sherlock. Yes, you're very, very correct there.

Yes.

Should that be an excuse for being an a**hole? No. Is it understandable and very human? Yes.

As for social anxiety disorder - let's just say I wouldn't be in as much of a panic as Marigold, for the simple reason that I'd never venture that far out of my comfort zone. Not that I fulfill the DSM-IV-TR or DSM-V criteria. I don't get anxious in social situations, I just avoid them unless necessary.

--- End quote ---
I didn't. It was the right thing to do, but it means she never, ever forgets her status as "other". Even when getting upset at being treated unjustly by a friend who's got her own issues. Even when in desperate need of a hug.

Any resemblance to Trans or Intersex people is purely coincidental of course. Yeah, Right.

ZoeB:

--- Quote from: Platypodes on 12 Dec 2013, 20:47 ---Aww, poor Momo.  I guess I was wrong in thinking she was just ticked off--Marigold finally was enough of a butt to hurt Momo's feelings for real.  First time, I think.

--- End quote ---
I doubt it. First time she revealed it in public though. Growth. Healing. No-one has to do this existence bit alone.

Delator:
After his recent experiences with May, I have to wonder what Dale would think about how Marigold just treated Momo.

Not that it's likely he'll find out about it in the strip...but I'd be curious.
