--- Quote from: TRVA123 on 19 Feb 2015, 12:24 ---Yeah, I'm really sick of people ignoring the points we make and then going "But why do you hate to see Marten/Claire happy?!! Do you just want teh Dramaz all of the time?"
If that is all you're getting from the walls of text we're spewing out, then you're missing several important somethings.

It's not all I'm getting. I'm also getting eye strain.

I thought it was funny as hell.
Look, it's not that people aren't paying attention to your points. No need to martyr yourself just yet. It's that people don't agree with them, there for they discount them. Just the same way as I discount a lot of theories about Claire because my reading of the evidence says they are unsupported.
People have been aggressively hating one every move Jeph makes from the deep past. If you want to get through to them, you have to hit a profound or extremely stark point. Something not open to interpretation. I know where of I speak. If you doin't come with that level of evidence you will either be dismissed or (worse) accused of saying something you didn't say because someone took your point of view personally.
You won't, however, win converts or understanding. At best you'll be expounding doctrine to the temple singers.
eschaton:
I don't need teh dramaz, although as noted, a story without conflict of some sort is boring. I do need Claire to actually display a bit of snark again, or Marten to put his foot in his mouth just once talking to Claire, to make me really think they're the same people they were 100 strips ago.
explicit:
I do find it funny that just because they haven't had any problems yet people keep kind of assuming they won't have any in the future. It's a relationship guys, something bad's going to happen eventually, calm down.
I've never been in a relationship that immediately had problems, otherwise I probably wouldn't have dated that person.

And case in point.
Who says I want problems? I want personality.

Well, you got it! In today's strip, Claire nearly outright states that she's been walking on eggshells because she doesn't know how to 'do' relationships. She's so uncomfortable that she's been measuring out her actions very carefully, afraid of scaring Marten off.
Characterisation enough?
