That's an incorrect way of looking at things, since bad behavior is objectively bad. Using moral relativism, comparison between the moral fitness of the accuser and the accused, or "purity tests" as a prerequisite for the right to point out bad behavior results in communities where the only people who can call out bad behavior are the people with the power to issue bans, or exile, or internment. That's a crude way of doing things since it leaves the community only able to interact with itself within very strict boundaries. Everyone respects the member with the power to hurt them because they are empowered, but there's nothing fostering respect between everyone.

Fixing bad behavior when and where you see it is the responsibility of everyone in a community, if you want a healthy community. If it can be done in a respectful manner, all to the better, right?

guys, it's a comic on the internet
take a deep breath for a moment
stop being patronizing and antagonizing at each other, beating everyone upside the head with your ideas about where the quest should go (or with debate classes, cmon dude you know that's dumb) is not going to change anything.

>>114857
In my opinion, bad behavior would be shitting all over the disthread about a trivial thing such as caltrops. I think it's unfair to scrutinize every little detail of the story since the quest itself is partially a comedy. At the end of the day, even if I don't find the caltrops to be the brightest idea, they still made me grin because they were funny. They did their job.

If you wanna argue so much, you can come to IRC and we'll do it there, but as I said, I consciously chose not to argue about them here anymore because it would serve no purpose other than making me look like an ass.

I didn't think it was funny.

CALTROPS DID NOTHING WRONG

I don't like the bunny.

She's completely amoral at best, possibly an agent of evil. She hasn't been around long enough to get to know - and care about - the other villagers here. She's like a latecomer to a party that has no idea who everyone is or how to behave or what jokes are funny.

We shouldn't trust her.

>>114968
Yeah, let's discuss the recent developments and Julia for a bit.

First of all, is she good or bad? A lot of you would probably think she's really bad. An evil drug dealer that almost killed Ellen.
But me, I would consider her as good. Why good? Several reasons.
- I would assume she had a rough upbringing, just like Chuck. Having little to no choice but to become a drug dealer to survive. If Chuck could change, then I believe so can she.
- She could be acting tough and mean on the outside but is soft and loving on the inside.
- I would assume the thing with Ellen was an accident. Ellen was often depressed and Julia wanted to help her. So Julia did the only thing she knew that would make Ellen feel better. She gave her drugs. Perhaps she told Ellen how much to use, or perhaps someone interrupted them before she would be able to tell her. It's unfortunate that it turned out the way it did.

So yeah, we need to find out more about Julia. About her past and how she got involved with drugs, about her current intentions and what happened with Ellen, and about her plans for the future, see if we can change them. But by default, I wouldn't judge her and would consider her to be a good person, even if she acts badly.

Which brings me to the second point.
We may just have found our biggest ally. Someone that we've known for years. Someone that operates outside the bounds of Plaths and Starks (and law). Someone that's not settled down in the town and who'll work with us to uncover the secrets and find a way to undo the Coxwette spell. A fuckbuddy would be pretty nice too.

Or maybe we get a whole team now? Chuck, Julia, and Rachel. (And maybe Rita, but I think she'd rather go to Plath's.) And the warehouse is our new HQ heh. I could see this work. A lot of possibilities here.

Possible benefit of bringing Julia:
She could refine the production of Nelson's potion.

that's about it

>>114971
Secondary benefit: Another person's life is saved.
Tertiary benefit: How do reverends make more of themselves? Do they even make more of themselves? Well if they do they probably need a warm body to start with. Otherwise there'd be even more of them running around now.

wow you finally put me in the quest rml a bunny who no one likes

i knew we were best friends

>>114975
Maybe... they're lying... on purpose???

>>114975
Holy shit somebody's mad.

>>114975
>>114980
If it's not lies, then it's at the very worst mild exaggerations and reminding her that none of that shit really matters. No one really cares about anyone's past with monsters running around. No one cares if they know her or not. No one cares about the exact severity of injuries, or about looking after some petty drug dealer in the situation we're in, and I'm pretty damn sure no one cares about fucking DONUTS or whether we've really delivered them to the cops every single day.

Your post is just meaningless semantics and bullshit. None of it matters. What matters is that everyone sticks together, no one goes wandering about, and therefore that she comes with us to the manor right the fuck now. If it takes a few white lies and irrelevancies to get the point across, then I'm willing to make that sacrifice.

>>114975
Yeah, I think you're missing the point really hard. In the state things are in, nobody really should be giving a fuck about crimes. This is a matter of survival so either everyone's in it together, or you're just a distraction and a body. This is not the time to be worrying about crap like that when there's so much bigger at stake.

>>114980
If I were you I'd dial it back like, a lot. You're trying way too hard to look smart in a quest about fucking people and zombie pastors. Going after other suggestors this hard isn't helping your case either.

>>114975
Hmmm

Hmmmmmmm

>>114988
Delian you are a absurd pedant who misses the bigger picture because you're too busy focusing on a single detail

I'm only coming here to say that because it's hilarious watching you continue to miss the point of everything ever

>>114988
If she's so incredibly petty as to latch on to irrelevancies even in the face of something far more serious, then too bad for her. We're not even here for her. We're here for Rachel.

She can call us out as horrible untrustworthy liars and then stay here, for all I care.

hey guys did you like my joke

right when the quest started i asked rml to put me in it and now there's a bunny character (my fuzzsona is a bunny) and nobody likes her so i said that RML put me in the quest finally

did you like my joke guys

>>114988
She's optional. Can't say as I care too much.

>>114995
Good joke.

If she is still on screen after this next update I'm just going to vote to crack her in the jaw hard enough to knock her out and keep kicking, because we OMEGA don't have time for this.

>>115000
If she decides to fall in line and come with us, well enough. But if she's still resisting or wasting time, trying to argue for Rachel to stay here or whatever, then I'm with you.

Sock her in the jaw, knock her unconscious, then carry her along with us anyway because even she doesn't deserve being found by the ghost-priests in that state.

>>115003
Look, we really don't have time for asking all the questions of her or anything. We need to get back to Plath house with Rachel. Some of us are hurt.

If she gets in the way of that, then we may need to knock her out.

And no, you're probably literally the only one that wants to stay here to ask a bunch of questions about the plot that everyone else has already forgotten.

>>115005
Well, my bets are on her knocking us out. So.. I'd try the pacifist route first.

I would like to point out a few things to everyone suggesting that we get involved with Julia.

1: she's armed, we're not.
2: we're horribly mangled after the razor wire and probably can't win against a season drug dealer like this.
3: It seems like Julia drugged Rachel somehow, given how Rachel has been acting and what Julia has been saying.

and finally, 4: It doesn't seem like Julia's gonna accept anything involving the monsters until she seems them herself.

So with those in mind. Let's try not to piss her off and leave as quickly and as quietly as we can.

>>115007
She's hurt at least two of our friends by now. That'll give us strength in morale, righteousness, and possibly Rita helping us out.

But yeah, if we can manage this without coming to blows, all the better: best not risk it. All I'm saying is, there should be no questions being asked, no returning to her later to "spend time" with her or some shit like that, and hopefully she'd rather stay here than tag along with us and let us bring Rachel along.

The less we have to do with this fucknugget of a rabbit, the better.

>>115007
>she's armed, we're not.
Wrong, Chuck's still got that sword with him.

>>115010
Drug dealer =/= war god. We've seen very little of what she's actually capable of, certainly not enough to suggest she'd somehow be able to disarm us before we even got a swing at her. There's about as good odds, perhaps even better ones, of her being a malnourished little wretch than there is of her actually knowing how to fight well, let alone well enough to have reasonably good odds to take on a man with a sword.

If she doesn't let us leave, with Rachel, this'll end in a fight, or at the very least to threats. Then we'll see who is right and what she's actually capable of.

And no, I don't want us to spend hours in-universe and several days out-of-universe interrogating her about meaningless bullshit that she's probably going to lie about anyway.

>>115011
Thing is, Chuck's sword is at his side, undrawn. Julia's pipe is already out and in her hand. In the time it'll take Chuck to pull his sword out, he'll have already been hit in the head by the pipe.

>>115012
Maybe. It's not like he doesn't know it'd happen, and couldn't try to dodge or back away or any other defensive measures. Or he could be fast enough and her too inattentive for her to get that opportunity at all. Or she could see it but be too slow, weak, and/or just aim poorly to manage anything before we have the sword out and are ready to strike back. OR Rita could see it coming and decide to intervene. Or a bunch of other things.

There's a lot that can happen in a fight, and nothing's set in stone, one way or the other.

If it comes to a fight, we've already let Julia know where *exactly* to hit us to end it fast.

>>826402
Holy shit naileD will you stop trying to fuck the bunny already?

Literally no one here wants to fuck this piece of shit. Probably including Chuck himself.

I genuinely dislike this character's existence and do not want her to have a larger role in the story. If she dies, I will not mourn.

That is all.

>>115018
And by existence, I mean as a character concept archetype, not 'I want to see her get her comeuppance' style. I wish she hadn't been introduced to the story at large.

>>115019
But now that she iss here, I hope she gets run through by a sword and realizes how hollow her life was as she bleeds out.

>>115019
>>115020

Holy shit guys. It's just a character, chill out.

>>115021
Agreed. This is an animal-people adventure quest. Take your hatred elsewhere.

To your fellow man seems to be a popular destination.

>>115019
>I wish she hadn't been introduced to the story at large.
You mean all the way back when Ellen almost overdosed or just now in the warehouse?

>>115017

>>115021
>>115022
We all like the story, but are we not allowed to present criticism, or things that don't work so well on us?

I really don't like her, nor her character type in general. It doesn't even necessarily mean she's a bad character, or doesn't work in the story: she just doesn't rub well for me.

If she's meant to be an abrasive miniboss with a personal relationship with the main character, an explanation to some bad shit that's happened previously, and someone for us to hate with vitriol and overcome before we can go back to Plath house, then I'd say she manages that perfectly well.

If she's actually meant to be sympathetic or even likeable, though, then... not so much.

>>115026
"I wish this character wasn't even put in" isn't a criticism when we've literally known her for like, what, 10 panels now? Less? The reaction is also ignoring the fact that Chuck himself is kind of a total scumbag who only just started caring about people because we made him. It's way too soon to immediately lose our shit over her.

>>115027
Yeah, but those ten panels are all about trying to make haste in gathering some other characters we care about and maybe some medicine while we're there. It's not a calm slice-of-life situation where we can slowly learn to know her: it's a pretty tense moment, and if she's showing herself as such an asshole - hell, she's drugged up one of our friends even now - and is showing no remorse for any of it, I think I'd be allowed to draw some conclusions of whether I'll ever learn to like her or not.

Stalling for time when two of us are hurt and bleeding - mostly, again, because of her! - with a bunch of religious monsters around looking for us, and we're in a hurry to get back... yeah. She had her moment and she already blew it.

>>115028
"She's drugged up one of our friends."

As much as no one wants to admit it, that was partially Ellen's fault for even thinking taking drugs from a complete stranger was a good idea. Julia was a shit person for giving it to her in the first place but the end result was Ellen's own fuck-up. It's time we put that aside once and for all because I've seen it used already and I know someone's going to bring it up again.

"Well I don't like her"

Then whatever, but don't expect to complain and make a scene and not have other people look at you like you're overreacting.

>>115029
All I'm saying is, she's made it entirely clear just what kind of a person she is, in just ten panels: she is, like you yourself said it, a shit person. Depending on what she's meant to be like, and what her ultimate role in the story is, it may or may not be to her benefit.

Personally, I'd rather her ultimate role in the story didn't last very long. I see her as a miniboss - one more obstruction before we can all go home, and not much of a threat in the grand scheme of things. That's all.

>>115030
I don't just randomly judge people or characters based on first interactions and I'm willing to actually see how this plays out before making real judgement, especially when again, our own protagonist is kind of a giant piece of shit himself.

You do you though dude.

>>115031
It's called "establishing character moment". A good character will show you immediately what they're like, especially in a moment of tension like this.

Immediately when we first saw the Emperor in Return of the Jedi, he was gloating about his ultimate victory and pretty quickly shooting lightning at the main hero. When that happened, were yo like "No no, I don't think we should judge him based on this. He might be a good guy all along!"?

Sometimes, first interaction is all we need to know that someone is a fucking scumbag.

>>115033
Remember when everyone thought Davey was an insane rapist, then we found out he was anything but? That's called character development and you need to give it time to happen friend.

>>115034
I never thought Davey was an insane rapist, and I'm pretty sure that wasn't established in a tense fucking scene where people are bleeding and need medicine and need to get back to the Plath house RIGHT NOW but instead we're messing around and being distracted by tits fucking a millionth time.

In any other story, the main character would be this gigantic scumbag who's spent the whole story learning to be a better person, then this bitch from his previous life shows up, laughs at how soft he's gotten, and he realizes that holy shit, he used to be like that. That would be Julia's role there. Here, of course, Chuck is still a bit of an asshole and hasn't changed that much, but he's still shown to care about both Ellen and Rachel, both of whom Julia has either endangered previously or is endangering right now. She still has pretty much the same role as a sort of a petty last-minute challenge from the past. She shouldn't have any right to be around for long, or at least to be an important factor: just something for us to deal with and then maybe have her on our side without doing much for the rest of it.

Besides, I'm pretty sure the story is coming to a close. There's not much time for character development anymore.

Also, Julia's been shown as pretty remorseless long before she even showed up, purely by what happened to Ellen. I think that's pretty well enough character development on her part.

In Davey's case pretty much all we had to brand him as a rapist was a single interaction with little backstory. It's a fairly different thing.

>>115036
> instead we're messing around and being distracted by tits fucking a millionth time.

Son you've been reading the wrong quest if this is your biggest complaint so far. I suggest you go cool off.

>>115040
There's an appropriate time to be distracted by tits, and this isn't it.

>>115041
Frankly, with how terribly y'all've been doing lately in the ladies' department, Chuck's best shot at a titty distraction is with someone he's already banged.

>>115047
Yeah, sure, but we can think of that once all this zombie business has blown over.

SHE IS A DRUG DEALER. Some hard stuff, too, not just weed. She knows it's dangerous, she knows Ellen might've overdosed, she tossed some of the stuff at her anyway. She probably got paid for it, too. Why would she give this shit up without being paid?

She didn't try to hurt Ellen, perhaps. But she gave the tools for it and shows no remorse for it. Her saying something about "thought she could use a pick me up" is an excuse, perhaps even a lie: it certainly shouldn't be taken as "proof" of anything. Why the fuck would you take anything she says as proof? How fucking gullible are you?

And all that being said, the fact still remains that right now she's a petty, stupid, ignorant, selfish, antagonizing obstacle between us being here and us getting back to the Plath house. There are monsters outside, we are wounded, and she's still dragging this on. If she really cared for Ellen, as you say it, wouldn't she also care for Rita and Chuch? Wouldn't she have moved this on as soon as she saw their wounds, apologised for the caltrops, given back the medicine, and gone back to the safehouse with us? But she didn't, and she hasn't, because she's a fucking dick.

You think I'm the one being a cruel little kid? You think I'm being too harsh on her? I'm just judging her by what I see. I'm judging her by how she's behaved so far, and how much she seems to care about us, or things around us. No one died - but someone could've, and she still didn't care. Someone still could, and she doesn't care.

If anyone here is negatively influenced by her, it's YOU. YOU are so obsessed with fucking the bunny, so thinking with your dick, that you're dismissing every bit of evidence of her being bad news and instead take HER word, the word of a selfish drug dealer, as PROOF over everything else!

Fuck you, and fuck your bunny waifu.

"Where did i say anything about bowing to julia?"

"We should try to meet any demands that ahe has"

Lol

>>115054
What? We're to blame for not personally meeting her earlier and then changing the course of her behaviour because we bear the full responsibility for preventing her bad actions?

No. No, that's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

I always find it funny how hard people bandwagon against some of RMLs characters because they are flawed or make a bad judgement calls. They're honestly my favorite characters.

<RML> I was anticipating some controversy, but not nearly this level
<Seven01a19> And she's paranoid somebody's gonna rat her out to the cops JUST LIKE CHUCK WAS
<Seven01a19> I don't think people understand who Chuck is, or who Julia is, and they definitely don't understand their relationship.
<RML> Also Julia knows little about the town
<RML> She cannot be expected to act 100% ratoinally based on such little information
<RML> the worst part is if the vote is to punch Julia, I pretty much have 2 do it
<RML> even though it is totally not something Chuck would ever do

---

<RML> I am throwing up in my mouth looking at the suggs

>>115066
bandwagonning implies that people are hatin on her just because others are.
I think most of the people just find her unpalatable on their own, I know I do

>>115070
it's been two updates and a whole lot of giant assumptions have already been made about her motivations and history

Litrtally every character in this quest so far has had multiple sides to them, like, as a rule.

Depression chick is super gay for the farmer's daughter and sorta sexually assaulted farmer dad when she was younger.

Ramona is a doting dogmother, but is also a lonely drunk whose alcoholism progressed to the point of withdrawal because of her lingering sorrow over her missing husband.

Chuck's a dirty lowlife bastard with, if not a heart of gold, at least a gold-leafed artery somewhere in there.

Naz is a huge lecherous nerd, but is also a huge lecherous nerd.

Do you see this running theme? I do, and I'm using it to point to drug dealer rabbit probably having more to her than this limited and late-game first impression would have you believe.

Isn't Naz one of Chuck's most loyal friends in Coxwette?

>>115072
Yep. She's a keeper and the clear runner-up contender for best waifu after marcy.

>>115073
Naz is one of the worst, but then my favorites are Angela and Layla, who have gotten next to no screentime...

>>115071
Lisa has an ass i want to touch, and also boobs i want to touch

I do feel sorry for RML. They have created a deep group of characters and are just attached to them as we are. I can only imagine our mucking around in that world can be difficult to watch sometimes. Though I have to say, we're in a life or death situation here and care about the townsfolk. While it might seem we're being violent for no reason, we want he medicine back to save the lives of those we've come to care about. While in normal circumstances violence would not be the solution here in any way, right now we've got injured and frostbitten people and want to make sure they make it through the night.

>>115071
>and also a huge lecherous nerd
Did you miss the fact that she has trouble being nice to people and half her interactions were in the form of pranking? Like for real that shit's annoying and getting her to knock it off is an improvement, even though it dampens her characterization a bit.

You forgot to mention Sophie, who is a good doctor and pretty cool person, but basically betrayed her country and family just because she wanted to be a doctor in america where she could make more money.

I feel like there's a lot more we could learn about Rachel and Layla and Rita. Selma too probably, but to me she feels like a side character (which is perhaps exactly what she wants)

I wish Chuck got a bit of his initiative back so he could say no to things he just wouldn't do. Since when did the majority vote become law in Coxwette, and why?

>>115078
Since everyone had a minor rebellion several times over the fact that Chuck seemed to ignore or severely modify suggestions more often than he followed them. (Even though I don't think he did particularly often, personally.)

>>115078
He just did. He said he wouldn't hit a lady, even if she was being obnoxious.

He defied a fair number of people to do so, and good for him.

Julia probably is more complex than she shows here, but the fact still is that she's showing her worst sides at about the worst possible moment. It's bound to affect our perspective on her in a far more negative way than it would in a calm, peaceful situation.

Also, some of us liked Ellen. Even Chuck liked Ellen. It's not easy to just brush aside the fact that she was nearly killed - not in this kind of an already tense situation - even if it were an accident.

We're definitely not going to punch her for JUST being annoying. I don't think anyone was suggesting that. We had our reasons, overreacting as it might be.

>>115090
Chuck's not a good cat-man-dude but he's seen things and been places. He's an adult, even if he's a criminal. Punching someone in this situation for dealing enough drugs to someone to OD indicates the emotional maturity of a tweleve year old. Chuck's like, three times as old as that. He knows throwing punches usually doesn't solve anything.

Even if it is cathartic.

>>115069
Can't we finally put the "CHUCK IS JUST AS BAD" meme to a rest?

I mean he's no saint. He's a lecherous scoundrel, an outlaw, and almost certainly responsible for some bad shit over the years. But during this quest he's displyed legitimate character development, standards, and actually caring about people. He's come a long way.

Julia has none of that. All we've seen of her so far is selfishness, lack of remorse, paranoia, evidence for serious crimes that could've gotten someone killed, and obstructing us from doing the right thing and saving lives. "She didn't mean it" and "No one actually died" aren't very good excuses, especially when she doesn't regret it and might well do it again. Maybe she has better qualities, potential for the same development as Chuck, but we don't have time for any of that now - we have to take her as what we see.

I'm really sorry if some of us made you ill, RML. I like your quest in most aspects. But whether you have meant it or not, here you've presented a character that's REALLY easy to despise.

>>115099
I'll humor you.

A) It's still theft. Returning the drugs MIGHT be a mitigating factor if she regretted what she was doing one iota. She doesn't. This shit doesn't work on children, and even less on adults.

A) She has shown no regret for what she did, nor any real sign of really caring for anyone's happiness: she just saw a mark. Even if she did care, she should know better than try to make someone happy with dangerous substances. Besides, something bad DID happen - she got very sick. It could've easily gone even worse.

?) This one is strange, and I could easily come up with many less sympathetic options. Like the one in the above: she saw a mark.

A) She knows Chuck and is very unpleasant even with him.

B) We will make her return them, though. Not only do we need it, but it's also a crime and it's the only wayshe'll learn.

Maybe she does show a more sympathetic side later: many people do, and first impressions aren't everything. But in her case I doubt it, because of a truly abominable first impression she made. Plus, habituary drug users tend to be the most shallow of all humans, given how drugs sap everything else from their life and make everything revolve around getting the next fix.

Sometimes people are not hiding sympathetic hearts of gold. Sometimes people are just cunts.

>>115111
>Would she lie to Chuck?
Given evidence so far, I have absolutely no reason to doubt that yes, she would.

Addicts don't need to be high to be unsympathetic. After a lifetime of highs and withdrawals, obsession and sickness, everything else tends to be purged from their minds. She has little to look for that isn't the next fix, unless she repents and wants to get rid of the habit and get their lives in order again - and I think it's pretty damn clear that she doesn't, hell, she mocks Chuck for doing just that!

She doesn't realize she has a problem. She doesn't apologise for anything. She refuses to give up the drugs, even when lives are on the line. She refuses to take responsibility. She refusesto even entertain the thought outside of her drugs and the cops. Until these things begin to change, she won't get one bit of sympathy or pity from me.

So we're really going to do this?

We're going to throw away our safety, our reputation, every chance we might have with anyone else here, possibly several lives, and all the character development and growth, just to go right back begging to THE worst girl?

I know it's a bit of a meme that chuck is a terrible person, but this is crossing every line.

I mean I really thought he'd had a bit of positive development throughout the quest. He'd gotten rid of some of his worst tendencies. He'd found a place to belong. He'd made friends, even loved ones, actually gone through leaps and bounds to HELP people. There was a real thing between him and Marcie.

Well, fuck all that. As soon as an old flame - a horribly irresponsible, self-centered, all around obnoxious old flame - shows up and says Chuck is a terrible person, a sex-addled drug addict that doesn't give a shit about anyone else, we just go ahead and AGREE with her. Yeah, Luke fucking Skywalker (well, maybe Han Solo but still) just hopped right into the dark side as soon as the Emperor first asked him. That's just about the exact opposite of what should happen. Even discounting narrative it's incredibly stupid and self-destructive.

Everything we'd built up in here, all right back to the garbage. Anything we've accomplished in this quest, all become like ash in our mouths. There's no satisfaction. No catharsis. No joy of accomplishment. None of this might as well have never happened at all.

Whatever RML felt back when we were all trying to get Chuck to punch her, I'm pretty sure I'm feeling it right now. I can't imagine how anyone here can think this is any better, and I hope I'm not the only one ashamed for having been here and let it come to pass.

Fuck this quest for having strung me along so long, and actually get me invested. And fuck all the rest of you. I'm siding with the reverends now. I hope they'll swoop in and murder our sinful asses.

Calm down! Jesus!

Well, I feel annoyed at the current state of events. Understatement, I'll admit, but I'm not the sort to really lay into folks like the above guy.

But am I happy? Nope. Not in particular.

Gang I'm not going to go through the trouble of logging in to put my mod tag on but you all need to take a breath and chill the heck out. It's going to be ok.

>>115131
It should be noted however that RML never saw Chuck as someone deserving of total redemption, and she'd stated more than once that she wasn't going to move his character particularly far from where it started in the interest of 'realism'; the idea for her was that someone might be able to improve incrementally, but not in totality. So some folks hoping for a happy ending were bound to be disappointed since Chuck will never and was never intended to become a good person.

At least, that's along the lines of what I recall her saying, anyway. I might be ENTIRELY wrong, but I don't think I am.

Attitudes like this make reading and writing quests intensely unfun. If you need to dedicate this much effort into hating on something someone is creating and hating on other readers decisions; all based off a character we just met you need to look at what the fuck you are doing. And this is disingenuous as hell because people like you still are going to read the quest and still going to suggest in it and STILL get mad about it.
But if you really feel the need to post something like this, do us all a favor and stop posting.

This whole thread is a fucking shitshow.

Sorry about the double post! Trying to delete...

Seriously. It's a disturbing trend and speaking as a quest author it's a big reason why my speed has slowed down.

I know it's going to sound harsh but we are doing this for free and it's a lot of effort. It's your right to be critical and everyone is glad you're invested, but if you don't understand how this is beyond the pale I don't think this is the right medium for you.

>This whole thread is a fucking shitshow.
Which one? The main thread or the disthread? I think either one would be the correct answer.

However, I agree with you. What >>115131 said is completely unacceptable and if they truly feel that way, then they should get the fuck off tgchan and take their shitty attitude with them.

Look beyond rules and optics the bottom line is this:

It's really hard for someone to want to make things for people who treat each other this unpleasantly.

And in this hobby, wanting to make something for people is the only reason you do it.

Yeah, that was all kinda my point. Naz is still a nice person under her social awkwardness though, as her tearful apology to chuck showed. So my joke was still solid and you can't take my success from me


Anyhow y'all need to take a breath and stop getting so antsy over the quest, I know it's hard seeing the quest taken in a direction you don't agree with but if the majority outweighs you try to, instead of fighting it, find a way to subvert it slightly towards your ends.

For example, we could try luring our new horrible rabbit friend to the big house by saying "there's cool new drugs we can fuck with there, I tried one that let me meld with people's minds and we should fuck while high off our ass on it"

This solves both problems we have, gets the people who want lewds the lewds and gives the people who want plot development and everyone safe and sound an avenue to do that.

Yeah I suggested mentioning Nelson's potion to her earlier in the thread but I didn't get any support. By and large people don't want to negotiate with her. They either want to fuck her, assault her, or reason with her. None of these options will be effective, it seems.

Personally, I don't feel that us having "just met" her is much of an excuse at all: she's made an absolutely abominable first impression in a situation of great seriousness and pressure.

And to be perfectly honest, I can't really imagine what kind of a tragic backstory or a hidden character quirk could exclude this kind of self-centered and destructive behavior. In cases of many other initially unpleasant characters - Davey, Snayor - we never got much of them at first and had to fill blanks with our imagination. In case of Julia, we've already got plenty of legitimate evidence of what a terrible person she is.

Sometimes, having only just met someone you can instantly tell what a trainwreck they are. Genuinely trying to defend her makes you seem delusional, naive, and entirely proves her point of us being so damn easy to manipulate.

>series of long rambling posts ahout how cunt drug sealer is actually a good psrson and its the suggesters fault that she did bad things
>mod silence
>one long rambling post aboit being annoyed and not liking the character
>multiple modposts about how they should be ashamed and are ruining quests

That post was no more unacceptable than the ridiculous pro-julia screeds that preceeded it.

>>115164
It was kind of more mean-spirited. At least the Julia-waifu guy is polite for the most part.

I.. Think I missed something in the last few posts?

There were more suggestions that werent 'fuck julia' than there were that were 'fuck julia'. When you break up the options into multiple options that arent fuxking julia and one that is, it means that the majority of suggesters do not (and did not) vote to seduce julia. It just means that the single largest block of,voters from,among multiple suggestions picked to sedice julia because the laypit of the myltiple choices consolidated those votes while scattering the 'dont' votes between multiple options.

What a lovely demonstration of the flaws of "first past the post".

(Nothing loke politics to coup a burning wreckage of a thread!)
