Let's hope that "might" actually applies.
She's been in the court for what, two years now?

So a bunch of humans leave society to wander into a magical forest to become god.
I've cracked the case boys, Gunnerkrigg Court is a commune founded by etheric hippies!

Wouldn't the thread title read 'she was raised outside the court?' Can you even edit thread titles on this forum? |

You know, Rey is SO SERIOUS here I'm actually getting a vibe he's colluding with Annie and intentionally putting Kat down in preparation for a pleasant surprise. Probably not what's really happening, though  |

This has nothing to do with the specific usage here (there's been enough of that elsewhere that will not be mentioned)
But...
Why do people always say "Humans fear what they don't understand" like it's a bad thing. That ticks me off, it's a perfectly good survival mechanism.
You know what humans don't understand? **********ing jaguars! And you should be afraid.

Because people cling to the fear, rather than trying to learn to understand the unknown things and justify their ignorance with half-baked moral excuses. It's OK to be vary of an unknown thing, but not trying to deduce if it's actually a threat or not less so. |

Hmm, wasn't quite expecting this angle, seems maybe most of us were wrong, that Annie may be uncomfortable with her best friend being gay.

There's ******* jaguars, and then there are people who act or like slightly different than us but are good human beings just the same. Both set off primal instincts.
Evolution isn't so good at correcting it's moral mistakes, because evolution is inherently a process detached from morality.

Reynardine seems to be assuming pretty hard that Antimony is a jaded, intolerant individual. I don't think that's the case.

I still doubt it since she didn't seem all that bothered by ZimmyxGamma any of the times she hung out with them. Besides, Rey is only saying it might be possible, not that he necessarily believes it. If that is how this goes, I trust Tom to handle it well compared to some other authors. |

Would it really have been too much to hope for that a guy who is so invested in researching other topics included in his work (physics, mythology, zoology, history, etc) would at least TRY to touch on some more meaningful themes such as normalizaton of deviance or other sociological concepts instead of just spouting some some tired old nonsense about how humans are meanies and "voices can't be silenced"?
I am genuinely disappointed by this update.

And, obviously it's important not to let the fear control you. I just wish more people would think about the source of the conflict. |

Because fear is frequently used as an excuse for "profound cruelty" to quote the comic.

MMh Rey kinda has a long term perspective on human society, hasn't he?
I wonder if he faced similar opposition in the forest when he fell for Surma.
Do I get the impression that outside the court homophobia is implicated to be wide spread?
I never really noticed before, but he seems to have gotten a deep interest in human society/history/lore,
if one looks at his quite impressive collection of books.

I am really hoping beyond hope that this is the case. I don't think I can handle Annie going into a homophobic freakout on Kat after all the wonderful progress this story has made. I am very seriously worried about this right now.  All I can do is take a deep breath and allow myself to trust Tom to tell us the story his way. He hasn't disappointed me yet. |

I'm trying to guess, and fail. Which exactly tradition Annie may possibly continue? This question is far from trivial.  There's ******* jaguars, and then there are people who act or like slightly different than us but are good human beings just the same. Both set off primal instincts. Evolution isn't so good at correcting it's moral mistakes, because evolution is inherently a process detached from morality. There's an obvious (and old) solution to this: mix everything into one grey mass with only "differences" allowed so superficial they are ridiculous to even discuss (a.k.a. "X in funny suits"). Fortunately for H.Sapiens, it never works - amusingly enough, mostly due to the same 2-3 basic survival mechanisms quickly undermining any attempt to disable them. So, no "new historical community"... a dozen or two, easy, but then they start to counter each other. |

Like I've been telling you guys, I don't think Antimony is a homophobe but I think she's probably going to act like a minor one for a while. Kids act like jerks when they don't know how to deal with stuff and Paz is geting between Antimony and her best friend. There will be drama. Maybe stuff will be said and done that can't be taken back. But they will eventually work the other stuff out. [edit]Oops, that should've replied to SilverbackRon. Did I accidentally delete the whole quote or what? Hmmm... [/edit] |
