WCDT strips 4266-70 (18-22 May 2020)
BenRG:
Welcome to being human, Faye. None of it always makes sense and sometimes you have to struggle with bits of your mental or anatomical make-up that really don't want to cooperate with you being happy or, sometimes, entirely sane. Still, she seems to have an handle on it. I've got the feeling that there will be a hard and tearful hug in her future.
Meanwhile, I find myself wondering why Roko and Yay were wandering the streets at night. Could it be that Jeph wants to exercise the Spooky Ex Machina? Or, rather to motivate Faye to find her own solutions by having Yay explain why they can't be that for her?

--- End quote ---
Not scared; rather, I think, embarrassed to run into someone they were quite mean to before they knew them properly. It says a lot of how far Yay has come, socially, that they realise that they may have been quite unnecessarily objectionable to many people, Faye in particular, in this instance.
I still can't get my brain around Jeph being an Animal Crossing fan...
Mr Intrepid:
Take a look at panel 2. Roko is faced away from Faye, and he arm is raised a bit. Could Roko and Yay have been having a little tete-a-tete there on the street for privacy sake?
Cornelius:
Personally, I think Yay had been listening in, and just wants to try and avoid being drawn into trying to help more. It's not inconceivable they could reconstruct some idea of wheat happened in Bubbles' missing time.

--- 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.

I don't see the criticism as excessive, even though I don't fully agree with it. And I certainly don't see the criticism as gender-motivated in these cases. But thank you for your answer.

Also remember she's not your first either eh?
--- End quote ---
Point of Order?
She IS Faye's first.
Her 1st AI relationship.
And (AFAIK) her 1st Female relationship.
Faye is 'suffering' from "She's my first .. I thought I was hers".
An irrational, but very human, reaction.
(Better... she is aware that it is irrational!)
