--- Quote from: BenRG on 07 Dec 2016, 01:13 ---What Faye is aware of is that Corpse Witch is cruel and takes malicious delight in intimidating people and issuing dire threats. She also knows that Corpse Witch seems to prefer for Bubbles to be friendless and socially isolated (because she basically warned Faye off when Bubbles had a meltdown). I don't think it was unreasonable on Faye's part to assume that, if she had an alternative offered, Bubbles would far prefer to live somewhere else and not be around her boss anymore.

Is she? Corpse Witch is certainly manipulative, but she doesn't appear to go out of her way to be cruel. Bubbles is an asset to her organization so she's been undermining her growing confidence that the outside world isn't so bad. That's not good, but she doesn't appear to be getting any joy out of it. She docked Faye's pay for using her business to do repairs. Again this isn't good, but she could also be the kind of criminal who wants a piece of whatever action you got that is related to her business. And threatening May is protecting her interest since a convicted felon is the kind of target for police looking to leverage information so she has to threaten her with something worse than jail. Seriously it's nothing personal, just business. And while she is certainly bad if I had a choice I'd take Corpse Witch's company over Beatrice Ellicott-Chatham any day.
Hopefully, Faye will keep what May said in mind and not take this as an act of betrayal. If she seeks answers she might find out that Bubbles is being extorted or she stays in Corpse Witch's employment because it's her safe place.

Socialising with Faye is, what probably not even 5% of Bubbles' life. The other 95% is all around the skate park and the fights. Expecting here to walk away from 95% of her life because someone in the 5% has anger management problems is well...

You keep trying to make this about Faye and it isn't. Faye thought that she was trying to save Bubbles.
--- End quote ---
where exactly are you getting that notion? her exact words are "I thought Bubbles would back me up. I thought we were friends". that's pretty clearly centered around faye, feeling as though she's been personally betrayed.
the fact that she needs may to explain how bubsy could 'just stand there' suggests that it hasn't even occured to faye yet that she might need saving.

I'm still just confused on how people are cheering at Faye suffering? I've read the forums for this week and unless lots of stuff is being removed or editied after, I've not seen that.
I see people saying they're glad a bit of reality is happening, where if you do things like Faye did, there are consequences. She has sometimes seemed to get way with everything that would normally get someone in trouble pretty fast.
Like someone else mentioned, I several times over the weekend wondered about Mondays comic and was concerned about the outcome, as I hate to see people suffer.
It's like simply not liking Faye's attitude and actions somehow means we hate her and want her in pain.
For the life of me, I am not able to understand why you can't have nuanced opinions.
You like Faye for the most part.
You think she has some horrible parts though. Like any Human really.
You celebrate her victories but don't like when her dark side shines through.
Some reality sets in, and you comment that 'well, that was bound to happen eventually'
Yet then it's translated to 'you all hate Faye.'
I guess it's part of rooting for the character. After all, why is no one raging against Faye for her sucker punch on a defenceless robot? Cause no one seems to like CW.
We saw no evidence of CW having superior strength or durability or weapons. Hell, she seem's physically weak, this could be like Faye decking Raven, not exactly a fair fight.
Yet no one freaked out.
Oh Humans, we're so fascinating :)

Has anyone considered that possibly Bubbles likes working there? There might be things she doesn't like, but in the end she might have some enjoyment working there.
She may also simply not want to throw away a job that pays over an irrational overreaction.
The way I see this, COD forced Faye to face her alcoholism, could this force her to face her anger?
Faye seems to be an example of the idea of growth through adversity.
As much as I hate seeing her that way, I've also realized that for some people, that's how growth occurs. I've had many friends who refused to accept there was a problem until it really put them in a bad spot.

Bear in mind as well that Bubbles was a combat unit, she has seen how straight up reckless behaviour can get people hurt or possibly killed. Faye might be her friend, but I suspect that Bubbles has lost enough friends to walk away from what she might perceive to be a stupid situation. And what Faye did was reckless and stupid.
