Funnily enough, the same people who are perfectly rational in every situation are the same ones who get especially worked up over the lives of fictional characters.

Reaver:
Easy Faye, be nice to yourself..nothing just talking to Bubbles about won't fix <3

Also remember she's not your first either eh?

--- Quote from: Gyrre on 21 May 2020, 02:28 ---Are we done hypercritizing Faye, Claire, and the rest of the female cast members now?

Yes?

Good. Glad to hear it.

"hypercriticizing"? Would you please elaborate?

--- End quote ---
The forumites (as pointed out) have a tendency to go into harsh criticism spirals when it comes to Faye's, Dora's, and Claire's flaws. Often putting them under scrutiny for a page or more of the WCDT. Look at some of the ones with 5 or more pages for examples.

EDIT: For a more specific example, you just need to go back and read last week's when Claire is getting criticised for 1) getting high, and 2) standard sibling vitriole/"joshing" with Clinton.

--- Quote from: Zebediah on 21 May 2020, 18:58 ---Yeah, it’s irrational. I mean, Bubbles isn’t Faye’s first, is she? It’s crazy, once you’re an adult, to expect that someone else won’t have their own romantic history.

But at least Faye realizes that she’s being an idiot. That’s a good first step.

Meanwhile we have Spookybot shenanigans incoming.

I agree that generally speaking, as an adult in 2020, it's a bit unreasonable to expect another adult has no romantic history. It isn't impossible, but not as common.

That said, I can sort of understand if it's from the perspective of being her first girl.  The comic really didn't present any evidence that Faye or Bubbles were attracted to girls prior to their flirtation and relationship.

I do know adults who have a romantic history but not until later in life do they find out they are interested in girls (or boys if it's a boy) so it is possible that someone could be an adult and have their first same sex experience.

sitnspin:
Friendly reminder: Not everything has to be discussed with your partner immediately. It's okay to take time to yourself to process what you are feeling and formulate the words you want to use first. In my opinion Faye did the right thing here. She removed herself from the situation that was causing her anxiety and didn't lash out at anyone.
