I think one thing that's being glossed over is that this is Claire talking to Emily, who from what we've seen is by far her closest female friend. If Claire were talking to anyone else, I'd agree, she's being a bitch to Clinton, but in this case, I don't see it. It reads more like she's trying to defuse a potentially disastrous situation between two people she cares about alot (with a little bit of "my bff is too good for my dorky little brother" thrown in), not just being a jerk to be a jerk.

Which means the whole point was to have a laugh rather than set him up(As opposed to have a laugh AND set him up).
I'm not going to start hating Claire because of it. Clinton's slut shamed Claire and has been controlling(If unsuccessfully so). But I wouldn't mind some development from it. I'd love if Marten or Emily called her on it(Maybe it could be Marten and Claire's first fight) and it lead to Claire and Clinton talking things out.

Did I miss a comic, I don't remember this at all? (bolded part, I added the bolding).

Woot! Finals are done and I can once again catch up on QC and what do I find? shenanigans!
I mean, it was established before that Clinton had somewhat accepted our boy protagonist as being a nice enough guy, but even so, I think he seemed to take it a lot better than was expected. He obviously learned second hand about Claire and Marten so I'm assuming maybe Clairemom, along with a warning speech about him making a big deal out of it. Otherwise I'd AT LEAST expect the very normal and understandable amicable face in front of sister, while pulling the boyfriend aside and telling him "take care of her/don't hurt her or else". Because let's be honest, its what happens most of the time irl so one can't even argue it'd be cliche'd.
that said....

^ this
tho I doubt Marten would argue with Claire about anything in this respect since well, it was kinda his idea after all.
Also, I don't remember the name of the guy that originally came to confiscate Pintsize's laser, but I wonder if it was also him who contacted Emily with her satellite software.

Guilting her for getting drunk at the wedding.
If I'm using the term right? My understanding being it's not really being about actually being or not being a slut, but holding women to a unreasonable standard that you can't really meet unless you like never leave the house.
Neko_Ali:
Not really using the term correctly. He wasn't angry at Claire because she might have done something with Marten. He was angry and concerned that she got drunk with a bunch of people she didn't know besides Marten. His concern that she let down her guard to much, and as a trans person that could have ended very badly. Though honestly, it wouldn't have been likely to with that group. And you don't have to be trans to get into trouble while drunk. But that was the implication behind their conversation. Especially given that Claire commented right after that she understands the danger she lives with every day, thank you very much over protective little brother.
