This is disgusting. A manual for child abuse. Excuse my strong viewpoint, but the authors belong behind bars, or in a psychiatric ward.

Hmmmm.
I know Jeph doesn't usually use anything remotely sexual as a plot point, but I kind of hope that's a plot point.
Given how repressed Roko is about her bread fetish and her occasional admiration of cute boys, I am in fact hoping that occasional unaccustomed sexual sensation from nipples might ... I dunno, either prompt her to start dealing with her own needs, or at least give us some funny scenes as failing to deal with her own needs becomes just that one little bit more difficult.
And I'm not even sorry.

I remember a lot of Faye's issues stemming from (or at least being exacerbated by) Sven shacking up with some chick while he and Faye were in a weird unhealthy "sometimes we bump into each other. Naked. With our crotches" thing
Oh yeah, the Pearls. I heard about them a loooong time ago, from following various atheist and liberal blogs.
This lady in particular writes about them a lot: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/lovejoyfeminism/authoritarian-parenting
Their attitudes aren't focussed just in child abuse either: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/lovejoyfeminism/created-to-be-his-help-meet

That book is from the pits of Hell, and I despise how popular it and its teachings are among my people.

--- Quote from: SordidEuphemism on 12 Jan 2019, 06:56 ---I guess I'm in the minority here. I didn't read it as an intentional expression of anger from Faye at all, but more as a Southern Grandma thing.
"Bernard, nobody's gonna like you for a little while. You need to deal with that."

Fay-Fay is a southerner, so it fits.

Once again please, for the Non-Americans: Is this the 'tough love'-thingy we hear so much about?
Is it specific to the American south, or sort of a universal feature with local variations?
--- End quote ---
Tough-Love is a phrase with significant baggage, as evidenced by the 'To Raise Up A Child' hideousness and some of the darker shades of AA and pseudo-religious organizations throughout the US.
What I'm commenting on was the idea that Crushbot, whether sincere or not in his remorse, will still find people who think negatively of him or of the situation, and needs to be prepared for that. That's the message I saw in Faye's statement. With her typical rough edges.
Theta9:
--- Quote from: OldGoat on 12 Jan 2019, 10:09 ---As others have pointed out, Faye has known Crushbot for some time, longer than she's known Roko and being Faye she's developed some level of friendship with him, and he with her, not unlike a doctor/patient relationship.

Do we know this for a fact? Supporting documentation please.
