I mean, nobody made her be extorted by a mob boss, but once you start murdering friends because mob bosses extorted you to, you don't really get to be surprised when your quality of life drops.

She definitely does seem to be enjoying this way too much and is likely why she got that self inflicted curse on herself.

I'm half expecting her mother to show up. Back in the day she and her father were arguing about whether they should call her for help, and he made a remark about how she's the only person who's ever been able to get Petunia to admit when she's wrong.

But yeah, I've got a theory the entire plot thus far was pretty much only made possible by an extended argument between Petunia and her mother.

I used to take Petunia at her word that her mom was awful. Petunia's kind of showing herself to be a real poo poo, though, so maybe her mom is rad?

Yeah, I think it's likely that Petunia was telling the truth when she was talking about her mother. It just so happens that Petunia is also a horrible person. It can be both.

I wouldn't call Petunia a horrible person just yet, but she has made horrible decisions and is showing truly scary sides to her. I am not wishing harm on her yet, but she does deserve whatever is coming to her.

The way she was always so insistent on not even acknowledging her skills for ages makes me think that she knows drat well that she's prone to this kinda stuff and had been deliberately trying to keep herself from it like an alcoholic from booze.

It's definitely not just 4chan I've yet to see a comic comments section without heavy moderation that didn't feature at least one or two real psychos writing incredibly lurid torture porn fanfiction about whatever usually-female character they find mildly disagreeable

IMO "is Petunia a bad person" chat is kinda missing the point anyway. She's a person of unexceptional moral fiber in a setting that's a somewhat "liberal" bastion within, basically, the furry Confederacy. It's been broadly implied all along that many of the people palling around with Poppy don't have any real deep-seated moral qualms with stringing up or enslaving every possum in eyesight, it's just their goofy queen passed a law against that recently and also this one's Superwoman, so she gets provisionally treated like a real person. On their own they neither care enough to go out of their way to spite her just for being a possum when it costs them anything, nor would care enough to buck society's norms and go all John Brown on the possums' behalf should someone powerful decree them unpersons again. Now the situation's changed, it's socially acceptable (even desirable!) to gently caress Poppy up, so the mask drops and folks like Petunia can feel justified in venting their id on her.

because they're not real people and to enjoy the work you have to have strong feelings about them, if that's not total love then generally it has to be total dislike

Mary's probably drunk enough that it balances out somewhere.

I hope things resolve well enough for Poppy and Petunia- the latter is still one of my favorite characters despite everything.
