Yes?
Good. Glad to hear it.

Ooooo... come on dude, let's not make this something it's not.
(Getting into Star Wars TLJ territory there!)
On a slightly related note.
I could see the point if there were not so many female characters in QC.. but (to my mind) it's been a LONG time since the main focus of the strip was a male - I see the most interesting characters in the strip as BEING female, and (I could be wrong) aren't a HUGE majority of QCs main characters actually female?
By your statement above, it suggests to me that you believe *I* (for example) am 'attacking' Clair because she is trans.
OR because she is female.
Neither of which is true... I just don't like the character.
Should I be tarred as either a misogynist or anti-trans because of that?
(Genuine question)

"hypercriticizing"? Would you please elaborate?

Did you conclude her action was stupid and immature because it came across as her being upset with Bubbles, or did you conclude she was being upset with Bubbles because you'd previously decided that she is stupid and immature?

Genuine question, huh?
How about, in the future, when responding to something I said, you respond to what I actually said, instead of creating a straw man that makes it appear I’m arguing in bad faith? Because the latter is damned rude.

Genuinely -- no, I don't believe you are. You seem a decent guy. But your hyper-sensitivity on this topic does make me wonder what is going on.
There's no reason to assume Gyrre is accusing you specifically of being a misogynist, and no hint of Gyrre assuming anyone of being anti-trans.

It didn't even enter my mind that you might have argued in bad faith. I was asking for some self-reflection. Dear FSM.
You know what's rude? Jumping to conclusions about people's intentions without at least asking.
For both of you.

Stay tuned for Tova's new book: How to Make Friends and Influence Forumites by Demanding Self-Reflection on the Internet :roll:
Apparently, I can be diplomatic in person.
