ronbo:
I think someone needs to inform McKayla Maroney that it is on.
Akima:

--- End quote ---
Well, sex-dolls are sexually objectifying, but then they are inanimate objects. In the QCverse, sentient AI people complicate the issue in that some people see them as objects in a way that they don't see human beings (see the remark above comparing Bubbles to a shop-window dummy), and yet AIs as sophisticated as Bubbles are thinking, feeling, sentient beings surely as worthy of respect as we meat-bags. In a sense, all physical attraction is based on objectification, but I think it becomes objectionable if people are seen primarily (and often only) as sexual objects.
On a tangent, I was pleased to see Tai looking more recognisably like Tai again.
On a chord, I suppose Jeph had to find a way to make clear that Dora was bringing a non-alcoholic drink to the party to head off all the "OMG! DORA IS GIVING BOOZE TO AN ALCOHOLIC" reactions, but it's a bit uncool to announce it like that. Better just to hand over the bottle of apple-juice, and pass over the reason in silence, I think.
Perfectly Reasonable:

--- Quote from: sitnspin on 17 May 2017, 10:15 ---To be fair, my only problem with Comic Sans is that it looks bloody awful.
--- End quote ---
Seconded. It just plain looks bad.
If one absolutely NEEDS something that looks kinda like Comic Sans, a much better designed alternative is Comic Neue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_Neue .

Now I'm curious as to what you all think of Anime Ace.
--- End quote ---
Anime Ace looks like a creditable effort. Alas, it seems to be upper case only. I'm thinking of doing manga translations, and for that I want upper and lower case. (Full disclosure: I have used MS Comic Sans before I knew of alternatives.)
TheEvilDog:
Wow, really early comic tonight.
And I guess they'll need to take care of Dora.
Tova:
I found the answer!

Forget Comic Sans, we have Akima. :wink:
