--- Quote from: BenRG on 03 Jan 2018, 01:33 ---For me, what this arc has communicated is how fundamentally nice Hannelore is, how hard it is to push her to not be nice and, perhaps, we are reminded of just how totally unhealthy her family connections are. In so many ways, the first time she's had a real support structure is after she was able to open a communication with Marten and Faye.

And she's HUGGING somebody. I know she did it just a few strips ago, but that was heat of the moment.
Are we sure that this is still Hanners and she hasn't been replaced by an AI with a very detailed chassis?

Extraordinary, isn't it?
I think there is a bond there. Perhaps because they have both been mistreated by Beatrice?
Hanners certainly does not hug anyone just to be nice.
TinPenguin:
Surprised to see Tilly being shot into space with quite such rapidity, not even a change of clothes. I had thought that the nearly-empty shuttle that escorted Hannelore and friends to space for the birthday party was a privilege for the daughter of the boss. But it turns out they'll burn that much resources on just about anything.
Anyway, I won't pretend I'm not glad to see Tilly go, but I'm sure she'll do great up there. Hopefully we won't have an incoming angry call from Dr. Ellicott to be greeted by Hanners cheerful "Yes, isn't it wonderful?!"
Tova:
Oh, one last thing, just because no-one else has yet said it.
I was happy to see Tilly, in the end, drop the formality and address her their new friend Hannelore by her name.
Edit: argh sorry

--- Quote from: Castlerook on 02 Jan 2018, 21:11 ---Folks, I dislike Tilly as much as the next person, but can we tone down the level of vitriol that seems to be coming from some corners of the forum? We get it, people don’t like them, it’s been said enough times elsewhere that we don’t really need to repeat it here. And as it seems, Tilly is being put on the Space Bus to a better life elsewhere, so how about people retain some dignity and calm down.
Don’t make me become Captain Reasonable. No one wants that!

Well, if today's[Tuesday] comic was about say, Union Robotics, and clearly the beginning of a new arc, and people were still talking about their like/dislike of Tilly, I'd wholeheartedly agree with you. But to say, people can't, discuss a character that is central to a, now, three-four week arc is just unfair. And I am, definitely, not just pointing this at you Castle, I just keep seeing these, "well, if you didn't come here to say how much you love Tilly, don't post about them at all" takes* and it's irritating because unless they violate the forum rules or the Creator's and mod's stated wishes**, people should be free to express their dislike of a character for as long as that character is central to the current plot line without getting shut down with "well, you're being negative, so, shut up!" responses.
*And yes, that is what's happening because no one's calling for the people who like Tilly to stop expressing their views, it's only on those who dislike them to keep their opinions to themselves...
**And yes, I'll admit that certain people have used a dislike of Tilly to be disgustingly disrespectful towards the LGBT+ community and those people have rightly been shut down by the community and dealt with by the moderators and are currently, hopefully, rotting somewhere.
Again, not an attack on you Castle, I just happen to disagree.

The thing is; there's discussing a character, there's beating a dead horse and then there's beating the body into a fine red paste on the ground.
Guess where the Tilly-dislike is veering into?
Discussing a character is fine, but when you're at the end of the arc of a story and seeing the kind of comments that have been popping up, its just a little grating to go through the same rigmarole week after week after painful week.
