I think it's safe to say people have ran the ChibiSoma poo poo well into the ground at this point, to the point where it's not even funny anymore. Yes, it was absurdly creepy and Tom called him out for it, well done, maybe it'd be best to talk about the comic itself and not "hey that guy three years ago, what a laugh!" every week. Let's collectively move on, please.

I started reading some time after chibisoma did his thing, and was glad I found out about it because it's funny as hell.

Same here, and as much as people insist it's been run into the ground, I still find it funny. I'm OK with not mentioning if it really bothers people, however. So back to the drat comic, what happens tomorrow? I predict Annie arrives and finds Kat either still confused or with the dumbest  grin on her face. Antimony will then proceed to still not get it.

I'm putting unwise money on a slow pan back to Robot looking incredibly jealous. E: LouKs posted:Im with some others, Kat was straight until now... it feels like this has been forced and, for me, kinda ruined Kat as a character. In my opinion it would have been the best for Kat to stay as a single nerd that has as much time as she wants to do her research  "until now"

Isn't this comic all about Kat and Annie growing up and changing? I mean, romance isn't a factor in some stories and they do great without it, but Kat has been expressing interest in people since the beginning of the comic. Seems like it's more that he doesn't like that she wound up with a gender that she didn't expect.

It legit makes me sad seeing so many people missing the point so hard  Are people just that egocentric, in that they think a "character has been ruined" just because it doesn't conform to their expectations? As if their ideal fiction was completely predictable and conformed exactly to their view of the world. That's boring fiction, man! You see it in this thread too, when people are speculating: so many people thinking the comic will go in x direction, when x is what they think should happen, and not, you know, similar to the kind of thing Gunnerkrigg Court has done in the past. I don't know, I'd like this comic to go in the way Tom wants to take it, not the way I would take it. That's the entire point of reading fiction! Anyway, ranting over. This chapter is adorable and a joy to read. Now I'm wishing I had something like this to read when I was 14...

I think it's fun to treat fiction as a conversation between the reader and the author. The author has his/her intent, and you've got your interpretation. And then you go from there.

Absolutely. I'm not saying you shouldn't interpret the work through your own lens of the world. But imagine a conversation where the other person just agrees with everything you say and doesn't add anything. That might inflate your ego a little bit, but it doesn't bring anything new to your life. It's worthless. I see so many people wanting GC, and fiction in general, to be just like that. As if that was a good thing.

I'm no expert on author/reader relationships but I'd assume there is some middle point between the extremes of the author doing his own thing without caring for feedback and the opposite of allowing the readers to shape the story. I know it might be dumb to complain about "entitlement" but maybe sometimes the public reacts weirdly when things don't unfold like they feel they had to. I just like to follow stories as long as I feel they are good, and mostly expect the author to do their thing so I guess I'm pretty passive in that way. When a comic, game or movie just becomes boring I just stop and go do something else (unless it becomes so bad, it turns back to funny in a trainwrecky sort of way) I don't really follow a lot of media so I concede you guys might know a lot more about this, and are probably right?

So I decided to read every comment on this comic (because I am insane and stupid and have nothing better to do) and I can guarantee that there is more than enough material for a sequel to Shingeki no PazKat. I only identified one terrible post that was probably a troll because I recognized the posting style from someone who loves to invade /co/ threads, but there's a lot of genuinely pissy and homophobic people, along with people who inexplicably JUST caught on that this is a romantic relationship. Some guy wrote a loving 3-part essay at the bottom of the comments.

I cannot believe the Annie/Jack scenes that led to youknowwhat were three years ago. It still feels so recent that Annie discovered she wasn't human, which is probably the biggest revelation in the comic so far and the biggest change a character's had.

I didn't mean a direct relationship through actual contact, I meant a conversation/discussion through reading and interpreting the work.

I mean it's expected and natural that you have to interpret any media you're consuming, otherwise it'd be a robotic act of going though it and saying "welp, media consumption complete, moving to the next comic now" I just went by Cyphoderus' "add anything" comment and took it as an author and reader feedback thing but I might have misinterpreted it.

Personally, I thought this was the best comment of the bunch.quote:I started reading Gunnerkrigg Court because of the fantasy element. Now you're using the comic to explore lesbian relationships. I have nothing against you using your characters anyway you want Tom but turning Kat, who never express any lesbian affections before into one? A previous comment pointed out that Kat had express feelings for boys before. Is this your way of promoting gay relationships? Too many shows, books, and movies these days are throwing gay characters into the story for no good reason. I have nothing against characters being gay, but most of the time it feels like the writers throw them in just to promote a cause. Like how J.K. Rowling mentioned Dumbledore is gay after all the books were published. Where did that come from? Why did it need to be established? If it had any relevance to the story fine, but it didn't just like I feel Kat's sudden lesbian interest serves no purpose. When are you getting back to Annie and her adventures?

Some kind of mix of 'she's a fictional character, it's not like she had a natural default' and invoking lesbianism in a manner similar to vampirism. Kat has been turned!
