And I stand by my point anyway that 3 people does not a consensus make.

Which would matter if any claim to consensus had been made.
I said "posters in this forum." This represents a plurality (more than one) of the persons who post in this forum. It in no way indicates a majority, consensus, agreement, or otherwise cooperative perspective, only that more than one poster present qualifies from my perspective - which, since you asked, is that being turned down for a date request and being "rejected" are not the same thing. One implies a sense of near-malice or hostility: "I didn't get the job" vs "I got rejected" have a difference in feel. To me, at least.
Emily didn't laugh him out the door, or even suggest she wasn't interested - albeit at a later date. She said "I'm busy right now." Clinton obviously received this as "rejection," but I disagree that's what it was.
Now that my flippant, mostly joking remark has twisted into something serious, let's move on.

IF we could ease up on speculating how thick "The Blood of the Covenant" is... that'd be great! :wow:

I know this has already gone on longer that is justifiable*, but really, I think it's fairer to say your definition of "rejection" is a bit narrow. He asked her out. She turned him down. That's rejection. The reason is immaterial. Doesn't matter whether it was because she was busy or thought he was ugly. She rejected his proposal.
Don't make me throw a dictionary at you.
* Better than discussing the thickness blood or whatever, which was IMO a non-sequitur to begin with.

--- Quote from: Castlerook on 07 May 2018, 19:45 ---The problem stems more from the creepy side of shipping. Like the people who try to ship characters that are either not ready for a relationship or not compatible for a relationship. For example, anyone with Hanners. Hanners is a fantastic character, but her own problems has hampered her potential for relationships, to a point where she may never have a "normal" relationship. Look at how significant it was for her to give your own father a hug for his birthday. Its a major part of her character (although that could change given her bus trip) and its generally agreed that no one ships Hanners, because it just gets very creepy very quickly.

There are occasions where shipping or anything is really out of the blue, and maybe a lot of combinations with Hanners would be weird, but I wouldn't say Hanners might never get 'a relationship'.
That just depends on your definition of relationship, and the kind of stuff you would do with your 'partner'.
I have a friend (well someone floating between acquaintance and friend) who is pretty much as bad as Hannelore anxiety wise. The triggers are slightly different in places, but contact/hugging etc is also a huge problem with her. And she has found relationships sometimes, they were generally asexual in nature (the upside here is, a lot of asexual people have quite similar wishes from a relationship as she does). People can find their ways.

:-D

Panels 3 and 4 seem to indicate her cognitive dissonance intensifying.
