Seeing as how violence doesn't really deter him it's about time everyone start thinking outside the box.

--- Quote from: fayelovesbubbles on 12 Jun 2018, 20:02 ---That said, Pintsize DOES seem to have a fear of intimacy. His sexual jokes and perversions seem to be a way of distancing himself from any feelings he might have for someone, knowing that his chassis isn't conducive to the kind of intimacy that Bubbles and Faye have.
Maybe he will get a humanoid chassis after all.

Then again... We saw him open up to another AI and get torn apart because he accidentally misgendered his prospective paramour. It's not that they were both male... it was the misgendering that shook him up.
Jeeze. 13 years i've been reading this comic...

Alas, poor Yorick Pintsize! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest...
(Sorry, it was stronger than me)

You know what I think is disturbing about this? I can't help but wonder how much Bubbles may be projecting her own issues on Pintsize. I mean, she was a mistress in trying to distance herself from all emotional connections (in her case by playing the violent and unpredictable defective war machine). On the other hand, Pintsize (in private moments with Momo which, to be fair, Bubbles knows nothing about) seems to actually have a fairly good handle on why he does what he does and for what reason.
Then again, maybe that's the point, isn't it? If we accept the thesis that Pintsize does what he does to manipulate his room-mates into a healthier mindset then might him letting Bubbles think she has a handle on him be something for exactly the same purpose?
That said, we know that the LOOM is the most effective way to moderate Pintsize's behaviour, at least somewhat. I think that by trying to intimidate Pintsize psychologically rather than physically, Bubbles may be on a winning formula!

I love Bubbles in today's comic. I never really bought Pintsize having any master plan or acting out of deep concern. Someone calling him out on his shit is immensely satisfying to me.
