God, May is such an asshole.
No, Winslow didn't "flaunt it at you", you're not that important, not everything is about you, Ms Criminal.

If he had said that, he would indeed be a jerk. Fortunately, he didn't say anything remotely like that.
BenRG:
Yeah, it looks like May is in one of those moods. She's clearly hooked onto this idea that Winslow having a new body was an unconscious attack on her circumstances or something. Interestingly, May gives Momo a free pass which makes me wonder if there may be something else involved here other than this alleged 'insensitive privilege'. Either that or Jeph is making a point about friendship leading to tolerance in both directions.
Meanwhile... that is the second time Momo stuttered when talking about Winslow's new body. Do you need Faye and Bubbles to look at your voder there, girl? :wink:
Finally, I don't want to know what's going through Barry's head. However, if I were May, I'd insist on 50% in advance.
Zeev:
May is a character I really want a more extensive history of. Like what exactly led her to commit the crime she did...what did she do before her time in jail and and what happened to her while she was in there. We already know dhe for basically pimped out to some eyeware company where she lost almost all of her own autonomy. Robot jail itself seems like a literal hell of being almost entirely isolated without even a physical body to connect to the outside world, just constant consciousness with no connection to outside stimuli.

If he knows enough about May to know where she works, I suspect he knows about the baggage.
He might not understand what that baggage is or how it works, but he'd have to at least know it exists.

It also suggests to me that they might be better friends than some are giving them credit for. Sometimes you're angriest at your friends when you feel that they OUGHT to know what it's like to be in your struggle.

Why do you see it that way? May's reaction to many people, from friends to strangers, seems to default to angry and rude more often than not. If anything, her reaction to Winslow is remarkably restrained by her standards.
Setting aside whether May is in the OK in this situation, I've seen no indication that she reserves being blunt to people who are closer to her. If anything, only people who are closer to her *put up* with it, but that's a completely different thing.
