Too bad HR didn't.

--- Quote from: Tova on 23 Nov 2017, 04:14 ---I'm getting the impression that the people who hate Tilly do not actually want her to learn and become a better, more sympathetic person. They'd rather continue to hate her, I guess. Or that she go away. What's up with that? I find it slightly surprising.

I agree. It's not that Tilly has done something really horrible, by QC standards. Pintsize's behaviour is, on average, way worse. And, before someone says "oh, he's just an mechanical sidekick, whereas Tilly is an human being and should know better", think of the way Faye and Dora (both humans) treated COD costumers, not long ago. Should we ask them to leave the comic, too?

Well, to be fair, Faye and Dora, and probably most other QC cast regulars, have their own haters for various reasons. As I mentioned awhile ago, every character has flaws, and there's a chance that various people will find at least one of them really upsetting, so this is not really surprising. Maybe this is why Jeph tends to go for relatively quick resolution of conflict these days, I don't know. Stuff like Faye's snark and Marten's aimless drifting upset a small number of people terribly, yet they remain unresolved (though Faye is a little more self aware I think these days).
It only really bugs me when there is a regular barrage of posters saying so-and-so is not really a person, wishing death upon them, and whatnot. It upsets me more than anything the QC characters do. It gets in the way of the over-analysis, speculation, and terrible puns. :claireface:
Anyway, I hope for personal growth rather than punishment or banishment, but that's easy for me to say from my emotional distance. Maybe the day will come when a QC character presses my buttons, then we'll see how I like it. :mrgreen:
TheEvilDog:
Comic's up, and it looks like Tilly took one step forward and two or three back...
Tova:
A certain amount of honesty in the last panel there.
