Questionable Content is also one of the few pieces of fiction where therapy has both A. Happened and B. actually made the person better instead of turning them into a serial killer or something. Of course, said therapy doesn't exist when it's convenient for the plot, during like Faye's issues with her last boyfriend and subsequent self destructive alcoholism.
We'll see which direction Jeph decides to go this time.

..... Is is that 2nd thing something that's been portrayed outside of a DV Comics villain!?!?
EDIT: typo correction [damned useless keyboard, don't ever buy CAT phones. May be sturdy, but they cut corners.]
Wingy:
Of course, if Elliot really wants to court death, he'll just deny Yay access to Hercules a few times. OTOH, Yay appears to be figuring out that certain kinds of threats are useless, which changes their possible responses to intentional non-compliance by another entity. Or that showing off in front of unscreened others is a bad idea.

Ugh, Elliot. In denial AND patronizing! If a guy patted me on the head I would freak out. In fact they have, and I did. (Short women have to put up with some dumb crap.) Clinton also needs to learn how to express his needs too, though. This is all totally age-appropriate stuff, and I hope they figure it out! When I think back there are so many relationships from my early twenties that probably could have been helped with therapy and some boundary work instead of just YOU'RE CRAZY AND I HATE YOU NOW, BYE FOREVERRRR. But they're both coming from a good place but geez Elliot. Self reflect, buddy. Self reflect.

EDIT: typo correction; 'can' not 'ca'.

I do wish that I had been more assertive in my own life and sacked one doctor after our first meeting. Unfortunately, I was on poor people’s health care, so my options were extremely limited (I ended up losing the one doctor that I worked well with because I couldn’t even pay cash there. If you have the shit insurance, it’s a scarlet letter, you CAN’T go elsewhere). But I knew that SSRIs don’t work with me, and didn’t fight back at people trying to prescribe them, so I drank enough to front a Pogues tribute band every night to counteract that shit.
And I know that it was the meds. Off of them, I seem naturally inclined to a few beers/whiskies a *week*

Tall people just don't see small people as a threat, no matter the danger. Much in the similar way humans don't perceive Chihuaua's as a threat. Even if they're the most aggressive dog breed in the world. I guess it would be different if Chihuauas could bite through a brick. Or not.
