--- Quote from: oddtail on 26 Jan 2022, 02:35 ---I know it's played up for comedy a bit, and Marigold can be extremely stubborn, but I can't help but wonder why she's so invested in this. She's acting like a literal petulant child. Her insisting she's not lactose intolerant and/or that cow milk is superior makes some measure of sense, her being this angry about the little experiment and trick... just why. Why is she this emotionally invested in what kind of milk she drinks.

Because being lied to about what you are consuming is messed up regardless of how 'harmless' the thing you are consuming is. Again, this barely qualifies as that, but being referred to as a petulant child is pretty common for neurodiverse folks

Same reaction that for example John Lennon had when it turned out he needed glasses. He was less than enthusiastic about it. Later his glasses became iconic.
I have never experienced someone learning they are lactose intolerant, but I would assume thats a compareable situation.
oddtail:
@Thrillho, @snubnose - all good points. I hadn't considered your angles, and I imagine "petulant child" was maybe not the most fortunate choice of words on my part, in any case. Sorry.
BenRG:
I've just noticed that, in panels 3 ad 4 today, Dale had his pinkie raised as he was tasting the coffee. This is a man with class and a solid grasp of etiquette!
DreDotJs:
Honestly, as much as no one likes being tricked, I'm sure they don't like having the room cleared out because of their nuclear farts. It's why I gave up milk in the first place. The idea of sticking to something that makes you physically uncomfortable and then makes it hard for people to be around you just because you don't wanna embrace change in the form of literally any substitute boggles my mind. Especially when it's more about the principle of the thing rather than the actual flavor or drinking experience.
I mean yes, we don't see anyone being attacked by Mari Farts, but I'm pretty sure May wouldn't bother with this ruse if it wasn't hitting critical mass at this point. That really seems to be May and Dale's whole job, to trick Mari into getting her head out of her ass.
