Armageddthem?

Oh, it’s hardly reached that level yet. So far this hasn’t even topped the Great Meat Loaf War of February 2016.

mof920:
I don't hate Tilly, but I don't love her either. The reason I'm rather infatuated with the idea of Tilly coming around is because it might force or inspire Hanners into doing more with the Chatham corporations. Something I've been wanting to happen since we were first introduced Beatrice.

Welu:
Them, please and thank you.

Anathema, I know.

--- End quote ---

I wasn't expecting a thesis as much as "It was funny/cool/amazing when Tilly did [x]" raves. Liking things is always better than hating if possible, so I wouldn't mind seeing the appeal.

Tova:

--- Quote from: BenRG on 05 Dec 2017, 09:02 ---Let's put this in a different way then: Patron comments are not automatically a representative subset of the fandom.

--- End quote ---

Well, I mean, yes. Quite true.

The whole reason I brought up Patreon in the first place was not to claim that they somehow should be considered to be a true representation of how QC readers were responding. It was simply to point out that these forums are not a representative subset of the fandom. For the same reason that Patreon is not - very simply, they are both self-selecting samples. As I'm sure you're aware, self-selection will always introduce a bias.

I went back to #3625 on Patreon, and now I'm going to quote a couple of examples for zzyzx's benefit (so hard not to type xyzzy).

"I want Tilly in my life so bad, for real. I've spent this whole arc wishing I could afford a Tilly. With Tilly's exact intense, earnest personality. They could live with me. For real. "

Someone is a fan of earnestness, I guess. :)

Okay, a slightly calmer example.

"Panel 4 is excellent and I love it."

That was referring to the hand-stand panel. I'm sure there are others - possibly as many reasons as there are commenters.

Here's a counter-example, just for gopher.

"So now the unwanted assistant is further weaseling unbidden into Hannelore's life? Still creepy."

Bottom line: don't be so quick to airily dismiss the opinions of an entire community. Especially the community whose existence helps to ensure that you can continue to read and discuss the very comic we're all enjoying.
