hedgie:
I do think that in some regards, her squeeing is a surrogate for the audience.
Thrudd:
The thing with commercial recruiters and for the most part those HR departments in larger corporations that actually do it themselves, everything goes through electronically and filtered by key words. The filters may have gotten a bit more sophisticated but most part are still just dumb@$$ keyword searches that are easily foiled by anyone with a lick of savvy and knowledge of micro-print and hidden text. With either you can easily enter ALL the key words into both documents yet remain normal to the human eye. The caveat is that you WILL have to customize the cover letter with the keywords from the job placement notice to make it past the intern doing a manual sort before it even makes it to the HR person actually responsible for the interview process. At least now we don't waste as much resources on high end paper and postage.
Gnabberwocky:
Here's the comic.
I kinda sympathize with Faye here? Like, I don't know if panromantic heterosexual falls under the "queer" blanket, or if that's really me at all, or what. I've put more than a little thought into it, but when push comes to shove, it isn't thought that matters.
badbum61:
I suspect Faye's "identity" hinges on the question (which may have been discussed elsewhere, I dunno) of whether AIs are intrinsically gendered.
We see the more humanoid bodies shaped along human gender lines, but is their inhabitant's presentation simply an aspect of their programming?
And is Faye queer by virtue of being attracted to a female persona rather than male, or to an AI rather than a human?
sitnspin:
Personally, I consider any attraction (romantic, sexual, whatever) outside of cishet to fall under the queer umbrella, but ultimately it is up to each individual how they define themselves.
