>>120651251>it's also just the fact that what she's doing is hysterically fucking rude behavior that only someone on a manic episode would do.I think I was taking that as a given and focusing more on that fact that she's the second person to directly gaslight Clinton into believing he is already confirmed gay at a time where he has a misconception that affectionate attention must be reciprocated in kind, instead of just acknowledged for what it is. Claire was already shoving him in that direction. In fact, I just realized that if Jeph is in fact setting up Chuunitits to get rhetorically BTFO by Claire for her rude objectification in the next week or so, he's setting Claire up to be a massive fucking hypocrite considering her initial pressure on him to be gay because Claire had always wanted him to be gay. She's objectifying his confusion and gaslighting him as much as Chuunitits, only FFCT is a total stranger and we just don't know her purpose in the comic yet.
>>120651601Marten is an outcast in his own comic. It's been at least a couple hundred strips since he was featured in a regular series of strips that didn't feature Claire or Faye, rather than a one or two-strip cameo in which he's basically background noise, and Pintsize has been gone for longer than that. Assbot disappeared because Brun stopped being the centerpiece of contention between Clinton and Eliot, before Jeph focused solely on the developing gaybait between those two and cut her out entirely. Assbot only existed to show Brun's nascent robosexuality as expressed through her clockwork fixation; once Brun stopped being a regular thing, there was no need for Assbot to be the tertiary character attached to Brun's secondary.
