--- Quote from: BenRG on 01 Oct 2020, 23:21 ---Something that May clearly hasn't learned yet is not to walk head-first into situations like this. Worse still, not to do so after giving the prankster every motive to be extra mean! I'm thinking the Disney fairies or My Little Pony but even that may be too predictable. I've got the feeling that Momo's must have some shirts from some really obscure animé that will make May appear a peer to all the stranger people with whom she doesn't want to have a conversation!
Yes, May was being mean but not really intentionally so. She's just got this abrasive way of expressing herself that always comes across as being personally abusive. What she was saying was: "Marigold, you and I both know that you've got some weird t-shirts. So, I am genuinely curious which ones are so weird that even you would give them away!" The problem is that she either she doesn't know how or simply doesn't care to put it in a nicer way!

Disney Fairies are tbqh amazing. May would be LUCKY to befriend folks in our fandom!

When May had a crappy chassis, at least she seemed to have a reason to be shitty and you kind of felt for her. Now, she's just being straight up awful. Hot May sucks.
hedgie:
She probably hasn’t even been in that chassis for 24 hours of coming time. We’ll have to see if it changes her once the “high” has worn off.

mmmmneehhhhh, I don't buy it. Her immediate default response to something good happening is to be a bitch, to literally everyone around her who just spent LOTS OF MONEY to buy her that chassis. That sucks anyway you look at it.

Global Moderator Comment Lively debate about May's actions is all well and good, but please don't go throwing misogynist slurs on this forum.
I am always a bit aghast at how vociferously a subsection of folks in the WCDTs condemn almost everything May does. I have loathed her as a character for almost her entire existence, but she's also demonstrably a traumatised victim of the penal system.
I'm not saying May is or is not a nice person (mostly because I don't believe in that concept) but simply that... do you guys know anyone who has been traumatised? Who has been homeless? Who has been an addict? Who has been imprisoned? Who has been accused of being a sex offender, correctly or otherwise? Do you know what damage looks like?
I don't mean to imply that nobody could be so cruel about May, a fictional character, if they had met someone like her - if you have known people who have been through situations like the above and stand by this level of character judgement, then coolio, you do you, but we are different people.
Even removing the 'sentient being who has been through stuff' aspect of this, she has literally changed bodies. Changed her entire body. She is the same consciousness, but she is taller and a different shape and can do different things. I'm aware that as a sci-fi concept this is tremendously mundane, but take a second to consider what it might feel like if you reached to get something on a shelf and found that you had accidentally punched through the wall into your garden because your arms are six inches longer and five times stronger? That must be a headfuck and a half in a handbasket.
