Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
Characters who have "Personality transplants"...
StellaVator:
Not sure where to put this, but I'm interested in how Jeph is going to depict the reaction to Claire's identity in some characters. (Yes this is totally inspired by today's comic.)
Does anyone think he will transplant the personality of someone who you feel would be uncomfortable with her to suit the comic and maintain tolerance? I have absolutely no problem with Claire, but I find it hard to believe someone like Steve, the dudebro, would be completely cool with her identity.
Not that I think he's going to have her outed any time soon...but just speculating. What do you think?
I hope this isn't against the rules or anything. I feel like good discussion comes from a bit of a difference in opinions without being hostile. Wouldn't be interesting if everyone thought the same thing, right?
Is it cold in here?:
It's a really good question. Jeph has been extraordinarily careful managing how he portrays Claire and her social relations. He might not even be willing to write a discomfort scene.
The worst reaction, of course, would be from Pintsize.
hedgie:
Considering that Pintsize is a walking database of human sexual behaviour, I don't think that Claire would even register as anything other than fairly mundane. May, OTOH…
Gladstone:
I still don't understand why people think Pintsize would cause trouble. He's crude, yeah, and a prankster, but when has he ever been cruel? He only seems to dish out what he knows people can take. I really can't see him mocking Claire over anything she might be sensitive about (after all, to Pintsize, gender is just a bit of coding), and I think Jeph missed an opportunity for character growth when he had Marten preemptively halt the meet-and-greet between the two. They could've been good and snarky friends (and I can see Claire using Pintsize as a testing-ground for awful puns), but nope! Marten does his LOOM, and haha, look at ol' Pintsize, suddenly acting well-behaved!
ReindeerFlotilla:
I dunno. Steve is certainly a bro, but he also flies a desk for supersecret intelligence agency, and had a fling with a Russian assassin. Not saying that going to new places, meeting interesting people, and killing them makes one broad-minded, but there's more to him than "bro."
