I think part of the negative reactions to Clinton is that we didn't get a lot of character depth until we learned that part of his issues is trying to be a good brother for Claire after/during her transition. While this did round him out a bit more, it also landed him squarely in a supporting role, and it takes a lot more to get an audience to change their feelings on a supporting character than it would for a main cast member because the audiences' feelings for the supporting character are based so heavily on how they interact with main characters. We had a few negative and/or awkward interactions between Clinton and both Marten and Hanners, and until he does something to override those initial reactions, he'll always be "that guy that was kind of a jerk to Marten and Hanners."

Don't forget Momo. She had to give Clinton a rather large jolt in order for him to behave himself. Aside from Claire, it seems as though her family doesn't exactly get the whole "boundries" bit.

Oh, it's a family-wide affliction alright! Remember Claire's faux pas? "I don't know, are you dumb?" and "I don't take orders from home-wreckers!" Tact and boundaries just aren't an Augustine Family thing. :lol:

Yes, Claire has some less desirable traits, that can very well lead to conflicts with Marten's friends (or with Marten) in the future. Clinton may also contribute. In many ways, Claire and Clinton act as immature brats. They are QC's version of Gavia and Ardent.
Possible scenario: After Tai has finished squeeing, she might become tired of Claire and Marten fornicating on the copying machine. Also, it might be against library employment rules for co-workers to have a relationship. Claire will say something stupid, making Tai angry. Marten will try to defend Claire. Both of them will get fired. Shit happens.

I can't be bothered to look it up, but Claire has already made her (sensible and mature) views on this kind of behaviour (or anything remotely approaching it) perfectly clear to Marten. "Once we go thorough those doors" etc.
