(This is not aimed at you individually)
Don't you people think that this "Called it" meme has got more than a little out of hand? In this case, there were two options - she killed him/she didn't. Guessing the right one is hardly an achievement, as even if there was no indication a 50:50 chance is no big deal. And I'm not sure that so closely identifying one's thought processes with those of the cartoonist is entirely healthy.

I very specifically called
A) Alice put her hand in the wall.
B) Alice is a weapons system, not a purpose built protector for the blink.
It was obvious from Jeph's sarcastic caption that she didn't kill Ardent.
Also, "You people" is poor phrasing in any circumstances given the huge number of circumstances in which it's used to dogwhistle sexism, racism, and homophobia.
I'm not saying you are a sexist racist homophobe. I'm implying it, the same way you unnecessarily implied that story analysis is mental illness. Considering the fact that I am a "cartoonist," I'd call it what it is. Practice. Storytelling is the fine art of taking a situation and figuring out what happens next. Analysis of another storyteller's story is how you practice that. Practice makes perfect. We aren't mentally ill, and we've got no reason to think you're actually a bigot, except for the ablism implied by suggesting we were mentally ill, but that'll pass. So maybe we can all agree to project a bit less?
I get it. People do things. It annoys. But as long as they aren't being disruptive and breaking the rules, why not let them enjoy stuff in their own way? Believe me, I find myself responding the same way when something gets under my skin. But then I try to stop myself.
Is it cold in here?:

Thank you for modding, but if you took that in context, you'd note that I implied to illustrate a point about not implying stuff, like the other mod's implication that people who say "called it" are mentally defective.
Method of Madness:
Wait, Alice hasn't been established as a weapons system.

(mod)For anyone following along trying to understand community standards, RF's statement here is exemplary. Direct, on point, insightful, educational, impersonal, and therefore respectful.(/)
