--- Quote from: shanejayell on 13 Dec 2020, 18:23 ---It's nice seeing Faye be a ass occassionally. She's reformed so much since the bad old days.
--- End quote ---
Being that she received virtually no consequences for her actions (and what she did get was not even close to what she dished out) for when she was acting like a mean, nasty bully I'd be happy not to see it again.
There was never anything funny or amusing about Faye then and this, along with the objectification from a few comics ago, really makes me want to see Fayes shop crash and burn
--- End quote ---
I don’t want to see Faye’s shop crash and burn, because it’s also Bubbles’s shop.
Farideh:
I didn't find Faye's joke all that offensive, personally. A bit thoughtless, yes, but not exactly 'business destroying'.
Gyrre:
I'm siding with Farideh on this.
While the joke wasn't in good taste, it's still in character.
Tova:
I am confused (not for the first time :-P).
Why is offensive behaviour fine if it's "in character"? Because, sure, Faye's behaviour is certainly in character, but that doesn't make it fine.
Or are we conflating/confusing criticism of Faye with criticism of Jeph's writing (again)?
BTW obviously this instance of behaviour is not business destroying, but enough of your customers get put off enough to go to some other provider who is a bit less thoughtless, then it might be.
BenRG:
Wow! Everyone is being grumpy here today, aren't they? Has literally no-one here ever made a bad joke to fill the silence that you wish that you hadn't? Or said something stupid because it seemed like a good idea at the time?
Really, I think that more people should appreciate that people do dumb stuff sometimes and there aren't consequences because the most common response to actions like that is to just move on because doing anything about it is too much effort and will inevitably get all disproportionate. It's just the way (and, more importantly) how people work.
