RMc:
I forgot...this board is so “open and tolerant” that it immediately shuts down all dissent, complete with insults. Nice.

Tova:
Are you okay? You seem a bit unhappy.

Actually, misreading the source text so badly that you have no idea who is being insulted isn't a good way to get people to take your opinion on the scene particularly positively or seriously. There is literally no reason whatsoever to assume that Bubbles was insulting Faye's mother. None whatsoever.

You weren't being criticised for 'dissenting'. You were being criticised for being so overtly and painfully wrong. It is possible that you literally only read the one speech bubble where Bubbles announces that synthetics like to call anti-AI bigots 'assholes' and then built the rest of your opinion backwards from there in line with your complex about 'the woke' shuttling down all dissent without bothering to read the rest of the strip. I could be wrong about that last bit but that is certainly the impression you gave. If you did read the rest of the strip, it's actually much worse for you as you obviously failed to understand the fairly simple narrative.

So, yeah: The solution is to actually read the strip and then give an opinion that actually in some way fits with what happens in it, not just cherry-pick whatever out-of-context line of dialogue can be crowbarred into your desire to complain about the author's political prejudices. Believe me  that there are a lot better strips for that end that have been published in the two years that you've been away.

Well recent comics might resurrect some long not seen user. I too have entered the forum after a long period of simply reading QC. I think I never was a bigot but I definitely was less tolerant in the past.

I'd like to share a thought which has been a long time with me. I really, really, really miss the Corpse Witch. It was my favorite character! If a crazy idea of robots having human-like emotions wasn't enough, here we had a story about a military AI suffering post-tragedy trauma. It was so cool and innovative, although I wish it had a more dark ending. Like Faye killed by Corpse Witch and Bubbles disabled by an EMP again and imprisoned by that super-AI or something like that. It wasn't that bad with a semi-happy ending though.  :wink:

Anyways, I hope Jeph will introduce some dark character in the future. I was thinking about writing an e-mail but I guess it would get lost in a huge amount of others.  :lol: BTW can we see Angus in a TV, please?

Zebediah:
I really don’t think Jeph wants to make QC anywhere near that dark. It would be a total departure from the tone the comic has had for the last 17 years.

On another note, I am once again unable to post via Tapatalk  - looks like Tapatalk’s IP address got accidentally banned again as collateral damage.
