--- Quote from: Near Lurker on 18 Apr 2018, 22:18 ---Speaking of the cast page, am I the only one a bit disturbed that Claire is described as Clinton's "sibling"?  Especially with Sven's description freely using the word "brother," it feels kind of transphobic.  (...I was tempted to comment on the ordering, but I'm guessing it's for the benefit of new readers.)

As for Sven, I don't quite remember he refering to Claire like that but we know he's a jerk so it's still in character for him

No, no. The point there was that Sven’s description on the cast page calls him Dora’s brother, as opposed to her “sibling”.

OldGoat:
"Sibling," like "spouse," is gender-neutral.   It may not conform to an agenda, but doesn't make it *-phobic.

Jeph may also have an arc up his sleeve with a character or characters who remember Claire as a boy.   He's as much as said he maps out stories that he may or may not ever use, and "Gus" Agustus (my own head-canon name for Claire's and Clinton's father) is a logical member of that sub-cast.

My personal headcanon is that his name is Claudius Tiberius Augustus.  I'm probably wrong.  :-D

I take it his father was NOT a stick in the mud like Henry? :D

I don't know if his father was a stick in the mud, but Claire & Clinton's opinion of their father doesn't say much. It would be nice if their grandfather actually turned out to be cool, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm hoping that their father has a name like "Dipshit Knight" or something equally fitting.
