Hate or dislike or be bored with Tilly and this arc all you want, but fuck that. Diverse genders should exist independently of whether they further the storyline.

Agree. It's Jeph's universe - he gets to people it with whoever or whatever he wants (here we have magic bandicoots, yelling birds, and sentient turkeys). If you don't like it, read something else or draw your own strip. There's lots of web comics that seem to do okay with shitty art as long as the writing is clever or good, so "I can't draw" is no bar.

Respectfully, this was less of a 'it's Jeph's world' thing and more of a 'we [trans and NB people] don't exist to further cis plotlines' thing.
Reaver:
I really don't care what Tilly identifies as, that's just a characteristic like "they have blonde hair and brown eyes" I don't get the vemom that people are spewing about them, nor do I get why people are being so nasty as to imply that Jeph needs to take a break from the comic because they don't like where it is going.
I mean I didn't like the "check your privilleges" arch, but respected Jeph's right to tell the story he wants with his characters 8I

Agreed. I was not a fan of that arc at all. And honestly, I really don't like Tilly. I do think Tilly's gender is meant to be a statement (one I happen to disagree with) but ... BUT it is Jeph's arc, Jeph's characters and the world he created with his views, idea, etc.
If Tilly stays around and continues to dominate the comic, I might stop reading because they are super annoying (for a multitude of reason - not just because they bring up the issue of whether gender is binary or not) but that really doesn't affect Jeph one way or the other. I'm not going to tell him stop writing, especially not on his own forum. I mean, other people will still enjoy the story so it should continue. It's life. Sometimes, a work stops appealing to a particular fan and that person can move on.
