Emperor Norton:
Welp, this looks like a wrapping up the storyline comic. And if it does end here, we get exactly what I said we would: Winslow faces the mistake he made, which he made by not thinking things through, not through actual intent, learns, and apologizes and tries to become a better person. May never has to face the mistake she made, which was emotional but intentionally malicious, doesn't learn anything, and remains the same.
I'm not trying to bring back the past, but everyone was like, "wait and see", and while I'm happy for Winslow to become a better person, and I think him apologizing was a good thing, May continuing to just go on in life hypocritically demanding others think about how their actions affect others... it just seems like this arc is basically supporting the idea that it is ok to treat the privileged like shit because you aren't.
Cornelius:
It's true, she should learn to think more, and adapt her behaviour too. However, since this has been written as her character from the beginning, I'm thinking this, if it happens, will take a long time. In the mean time, it's not out of character for Hannelore to suggest - but what she was going to say has been cut off.
It might be parallel to Faye's development.
The implication that for one side of the argument it's fine to belittle the others, and not to have to make any effort for them to understand, remains troubling, I agree. I wonder to what degree the notion would have been there, if not for Bubbles' comment. Leave out Bubbles, and the Momo/May sequence, and we have a much more positive story.
At the same time, it might just be time to let the argument rest, since we have been turning in circles in the other thread. The issue with that, is that both sides might take that as proof of how they are right. It's a subject that is very hard to have a reasonable and mostly objective discussion about. (Q.e.d. for one of my arguments, I might add, but I don't want this to escalate again.)
Let's take a cue from our characters, and move on, to see how the rest of the story unfolds.

Emperor Norton:
You do know that responding with these images seems very condescending, right?
