Moderator Comment Very inappropriate. Each fan has valid opinion, patron or not. It's incredibly tasteless and insulting to compare Jeph to a mass murdering cult leader and other fans to the victims.
BenRG:
Let's put this in a different way then: Patron comments are not automatically a representative subset of the fandom.
Because Patron users commenting on QC will generally be those satisfied with and therefore donating towards Jeph's work, they would be disproportionately be those who liked the direction that the strip is currently going in and the characters upon which Jeph is focussing. Asking those voluntarily donating to a project if they are satisfied with it will always be more likely to be positive than negative.
I hope that Jeph is also reading his Twitter and Tumblr responses, which are less likely to be tilted towards being 'happy customers'.

Cool story, bro.
Sidenote: being condescending about the paying audience of an artist whose work you continue to consume without joining said paying audience isn't a great look either.
Is it cold in here?:
Global Moderator Comment No flame wars please. The mod team will take care of the situation.

--- End quote ---
As noted before, I've used "they" in its various forms for a neuter third person singular pronoun in writing since about 1988, but I've never had my nose rubbed in just how damn confusing it is until this story arc. I realize now that there's a reason speakers and listeners wanted singulars and plurals to begin with.
I haven't settle on a preference for one of the proposed alternatives, but I'll get there.
But it won't be "mim." Too much Disney baggage there.
