Hm. From a moving-the-comic-forward perspective, I appreciate this page. From a how-I'd-feel-if-Evie-was-a-real-person perspective...not so much. Her actions her make me kind of uncomfortable, which I think is exacerbated by the "Evie is good" comment on the bottom.

I think the "good" means "good at what she does" rather than "good in the moral sense".
--- Quote from: Tova on 24 Jan 2018, 19:23 ---She's asking good questions. I wouldn't say she's forcing the issue. Just gently prodding Faye into exploring it.
--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 24 Jan 2018, 19:22 ---Hmm. Strikes me that Evie is using her powers for good. Blatantly, however, without Faye's consent.
--- End quote ---
Why do you say "without Faye's consent?" Evie is asking questions, Faye is consenting to answer.
--- End quote ---
Yeeeeeeaaaah, I kinda sorta see where both sides are coming from here, but just barely and only as long as Evie sticks to asking questions, and being very, very ... respectful about it. Or a superficially convincing approximation of 'respectful'. Is there an expression like 'prurient interest', only for romance instead of sexystuff? I hate that shit. Imagine my saying 'hate' exactly like Agent Smith:
"I ... hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer."
--- Quote from: haikupoet on 24 Jan 2018, 19:28 ---The thing that gets me here is that Bubbles has outright told Faye she has feelings for her. Awkwardly, unintentionally, but unambiguously. Like, Faye has absolutely no excuse to not realize where Amanda and Evie are going with this.
--- End quote ---
I bet she'd even lie to the Cops about it ...
Sotajumala:
I don't find Evie creepy. It doesn't matter if this kind of behavior would be creepy in real life. This is a comic and characters will be exaggerated. I find her psychoanalysis mannerisms to be humorous.

Yeah, I in no way interpreted it as "good in the moral sense." Why would I? That doesn't mean it's not uncomfortable as a suggestion of approval or such.
shanejayell:
Well at least Faye may be getting a clue. :laugh: :-D

OK!
Dunno - ambiguity of everyday language?
I guess?
