An emotionally damaged and cynical person might say things like what Corpse Witch is saying without malice.

Are you suggesting someone who organizes an illegal underground (rink?) fight club isn't entirely emotionally healthy?
Tova:
Why, are you suggesting that they couldn't possibly be?
BenRG:
The big problem with trying to induce paranoia to control people is that it can just as easily end up directed at you!
FWIW, I'm not expecting any immediate fallout but it might start happening if Corpse Witch decides to double down when she realises her words aren't working. Things could actually get quite nasty. I wonder how Momo would react to the worst excesses of human history but with a synthetic face?
What am I expecting?
* Faye getting fired;
* Attempted daytime fire-bomb attack on CoD to try to create anti-AI sentiment and make Bubbles feel unwelcome.I suspect that the second will backfire spectacularly because of the number of AIs who volunteer to help fix any damage. Further action may be stymied when most of the fighters walk out in protest at Faye's dismissal.

I'm with you on giving her benefit of the doubt. I could see her lines in Panel 4 being simply the words of a pessimist, helpfully reminding her that life is awful in a real attempt to avoid disappointment.
On the other hand, the 'manipulative' angle is so easy to push. It wouldn't be a first.
sitnspin:
It is also possible that she both believes what she said AND is being manipulative. The two are not mutually exclusive.
