WCDT: 2801-2805 (29th September - 3rd October) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
Barmymoo:
Global Moderator Comment Discussions about the implications of Claire's gender status on her potential relationship with Marten are now off-limits. Marten and Claire are fictional characters. Jeph will reveal whatever he wants to tell us about their relationship through the comic. Speculation hurts real people who are members of this community and it is quite clear from the last few days that it's not possible for this sort of discussion to take place without that hurt occurring.

Why thank you! First time I opened a WCDT, and I'm amazed at our regulars who almost always come up with hilarious polls.

Will it still be allowed to discuss the impact of potential psychological || psychiactric issues that may arise? I have brought them up before, and I can't speak for others who have them as well, I can certainly say that they're probably more relevant to the discussion to how things evolve. Also, the replies haven't been as viscerally nasty, so I don't think that at this moment, that the mod-hammer needs to come down on them.

What part of off-limits is hard to understand?

The problem is that, for someone who is not affected by the subject in hand (in this case, being trans), the comments in question might seem tame, a person who has to deal with that life and the issues that arise from it day by day, a seemingly harmless comment may deeply hurt them. And I know of a few people that were hurt by such posts and I know that more than once I was the cause of such pain.
What I want to say I guess is: if the mods say off-limits, it's off-limits for a reason. Stick to it.
Is it cold in here?:
Global Moderator Comment Just keep it consistent with what you'd speculate about a cis/cis couple. Claire's Ativan prescription is as relevant as Dora's insecurities.
