Something bothering me a lot

--- Quote ---How does it change a person's psychology if their body is as replaceable as an automobile? We've had only hints.

Truth to be said I even more interested how having said person around would affect a life situation and feelings of hard-transition transperson who were shunned for her condition.

Is it cold in here?:
We know how Claire reacted to Pintsize talking about chassis-swapping. Every trans person will have an individual perspective but I wouldn't be surprised if many others felt the way she did.

I believe it wasn't exactly about chassis-swapping, but about Pintsize dismissing difficulties of adapting new options with "bah, technology would fix everything".

--- Quote from: Aenno on 05 Feb 2018, 11:30 ---Yes, having mental issues isn't means it's a crippling inability to act 100% of the time, in 100% of situations. But the very definition of having mental issues is that person DO fall apart at least sometimes. If your mental issues never manifest and don't influence your behavior by any way, you haven't mental issues. Dora can handle some situations well. Faye can handle some situations well. Hannelore can. But Dora, Faye or Hannelore can't handle some situations well, and it's chronical and patterned, that's why they can be called as having mental issues.

Check for Bubbles appearing in the comics after Stolen Memories arc. When do she show any evidence of any mental issues?
Feeling bad about something isn't mental issue. Being not able to be cool all the times isn't mental issues. Bubbles don't always cool, but she can really handle it. When she is angry on Clinton, who just ignored her explaining they are not couple with Faye, she cool out as soon as he admits his mistake (and it took four iterations about "we're not" from him). When she is angry of Faye, who just never came to Bubbles to discuss a way Bubbles would live next, she is going to "Coffee of Doom" and vent out quite adequately.

P.S.: Actually you're right and I noticed it later. Thanks for moving.

Welcome, new person with very interesting and thought-provoking questions!
From what I understand, you feel that Bubbles' PTSD has not really been brought to the forefront ever since the creepybot storyline, correct?
I do have to agree with you to some extent. You're right, any struggles we have seen from Bubbles since then have mostly been innocuous and similar to what we may find in non-PTSD individuals with low experience in social/romantic situations. We haven't seen much evidence in the way of Bubbles struggling with her PTSD or, more to-the-point, her loss of specific memories. While she was distraught about that loss immediately after, ever since it has not been mentioned at all.

So yeah, I do agree that it would probably be more relatable/realistic if some of Bubbles issues/coping would be handled more to the forefront at some point, but I give JJ a lot of leeway in his storytelling, mostly since he has a knack for bringing issues back again.
I have a feeling Evie's introduction may have served as a starting point for the above, actually.

Is it cold in here?:
Tova pointed out that there's body language mirroring going on. Bubbles was behind Faye's back so she must have been the one following.

That's a very detailed parallel to how humans do things. I would enjoy seeing the differences.
