Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT 4116-4120 (14th to 18th Dec, 2020)
Oenone:
I wonder if Brun would have to think that hard about Renee, or if her valuing of Renee’s friendship and advice would make it an easier question to answer?
awkwardness:
I'm so glad that this went the good way instead of the wrong way...Brun's autism could have caused yet another incident due to misunderstanding, but thankfully Millie accepts her contemplation for what it is and the answer even better- that's a real friend, even if they aren't romantically linked those two are becoming a great pair of friends.
Of course Renee will be jealous, because it's how Jeph loves to throw us for a loop...
BenRG:
Okay, I think that we can definitely say that Millifeulle is romantically interested in Brun. I mean, the little fashion twirl in panel 1 and the obvious flirty expression in panel 3 makes it clear enough! Clear to the reader, at least. Not clear to Brun who actually takes the question seriously and provides a full and specific answer. That's in character for her and clearly something that Millie is going to have to get used to: You can't be indirect with Brun but instead have to ask the question you want to ask! For example, the questions Millie should have asked are:
* "Do you find me sexually desirable?"
* "If the answer is 'yes', is this the only basis for you liking me?"We all know that Brun wouldn't be even slightly put off by these questions!

I think that it is in Brun's nature that she would attempt to give an honest answer to any question like that. With Millie, the problem is, of course, that she doesn't have as much experience of her as she has Elliot, Clinton or Renee. So she has to analyse what experience she has more carefully!

Can we please not use the word "simp". It has enough negative implications (such as the idea that a man would only be kind to a woman to get sex and that the particular woman in question is not attractive enough to be worth being kind to) that it feels slimy to use it.

My apologies. I was unaware of the second half to that.
I don't believe I've ever encountered the second portion. Just the part insulting the guy being a sucker/simpleton.

The first half shouldn't be even remotely acceptable to you, either. The idea that the only reason a man would ever treat a woman with kindness is to get in her pants is disgusting no matter how you slice it.

The problem with this storyarc so far is that Brun is still completely oblivious to the fact that Millefeuille interprets her behavior increasingly as flirting, while Brun herself just tries to be a good friend by following the rules that Renee has given her about friendship.
And thats not really cute, at least not for me. Thats highly problematic and demonstrates Bruns problems with interacting with others.

Its pretty bad behavior, yes.
So is making a fire and then intentionally inhaling the smoke.
Doesnt mean people dont do these things.
