Tova:
Regarding Renee. The behaviours that have led people to label her an arsehole were all, if I recall correctly, instances of her looking out for Brun.
I don’t think that makes her an areshole. Overprotective maybe.
There’s one other piece of evidence often cited. I’d be asking myself whether judging someone based on another’s opinion is just.
Thrillho:
I'd also like to add that the way Brun is discussed sometimes makes me a bit uncomfortable.
I am on the spectrum. Many of us do understand how life works. Many of us also don't get anywhere near enough credit for how sarcastic we're being because people expect us to be socially stunted, and we cannot read Brun's tone (I'm willing to bet Renee can't always either).
Also, at the risk of seeming contradictory - we only have our observations of Brun to lead us to believe she's not neurotypical anyway.
Is it cold in here?:
It is possible that I'm over-identifying based on how many times I've had to say something like "I don't understand what just happened". I think my life would have been improved if I'd had a roommate with a social protocol database. Brun is making her way in life but she does seem determined to understand human interactions better than she does.
If Brun is not on the spectrum I think she could be very empathetic to people who are.
Good point, Tova, about the number of criticisms of Renee that came from her protecting Brun. I can think of only one exception, which was the incident with Elliott that was arguably sexual harassment.

--- Quote from: comicalArchitect on 12 Feb 2019, 13:14 ---So it occurs to me—we've now had, as major characters, a highly promiscuous straight dude (Sven), a highly promiscuous gay girl (Tai pre-Dora), and now seemingly a highly promiscuous straight girl (Renee). We need a highly promiscuous gay dude now, to complete the This Character Fucks square.

Wasn't he in a monogamous relationship?
