But this ISN'T speech. This is typing. It's a lot less forgivable to make this kind of mistake on a forum than in real life. When you make a mistake on a forum, you can correct it. Not to mention, even in speech there's a difference between "she -- I mean they" and just using "she" over and over. It's the latter that's being complained about. This may not have been a "thing" in common speech 20 years ago, but it absolutely was 10 years ago and a decade is more than enough time to become accustomed to it.

Nicolas Demers

You're absolutely right, and I didn't mean to sound like I thought it was okay.

Darnel D Cooper

With respect: GOD! People continually apologize and make efforts not to make the error again. this wasn't a "THING" IN COMMON SPEECH twenty years ago. PLEASE SHOW TOLERANCE, PEOPLE ARE TRYING. (grumble - disrupting the flow,.....)

Agreed onitake, and sorry Nicola, I don't buy that as a reason at all. Jeph has stated before that misgendering them isn't okay, regardless of whether only one body is on screen or not, regardless of how femme you look you can still use they, you don't need to be 50/50 androgynous at all times to be nonbinary

Mish L.

Where? I'm looking for it but I don't see them being misgendered anywhere?

Dude I don't wanna be a downer but Yay gets misgendered almost every single page they're in and it sucks. I'm non-binary and it just... Sucks. People have had more than enough time to learn. 😔

*they'd

Kyle Rudy

Please hurry, Yay. Please, please hurry.

Solomon Garland

There's nothing precluding sex with wholesome friends. The notion that relationships destroy or subsume friendships is fallacious.

Stephen Wells

Roko and Yay leave us trapped in the Shipper's Dilemma: on the one hand, their friendship is wholesome and great and must be protected, and on the other hand, they are both very hot and should bang :)

Simran Khalsa

Glad the basement flooding didn’t force a travel postponement. I wish you a good journey and a good visit.

Professor Harmless

I'm sorry, Was there a bad thing in there someplace? I missed it in comparing it to the current lack of competence present in the world today...

Chris Heg

Apparently you don't have to be a jerk just because you're omnipotent.

Bagge

I love their friendship

Pejo

Man, back when Yay was just Spookybot, saying stuff like that came across a lot more ominous & intimidating. But now they're baby (& Roku just ridiculed them for saying that) so it's just cute/indignant.

awgiedawgie

So Yay just admitted that they're a slacker... not putting forth their best effort and all.

Lisa

Shorter Yay ..."only if Cosmo comes with me."

Socratease

I, for one, would welcome our machine overlords.

JPGer

We will eliminate your leadership class and dismantle ur economy as your new rulers! Sweet when do u start?

Thomas A. Dennis

That sounds pretty damn good right now.

Salodni Ikkis

I, for one, welcome our new God-ruler

Clifton Royston

I forgot to say: Happy vacation & travels, Jeph!

Sleepy John

Trying to find the downside of this; after all, as ruler of the world, she'd be able to take care of more greyhounds.

Lucas Werkmeister

the next morning: "eh, it can wait until afternoon"

Drazi

It sounds like Yay is feeling better 😊

Joseph Bonnar

Not that I can figure out. I am fairly sure that somebody will come up with something good, and THEN we'll both be saying: Why didn't -I- think of that!

Joseph Bonnar

Happy Holidays!

Dean Reilly

Is there a gender neutral first person plural equivalent for 'God-Emperor'?

Absentia

I for one would be perfectly fine living under the absolute control of an all powerful god-AI like Yay.

Yelling Bird

RULE ME SPOOKY-BOT!

Sean Rotter

Have a great trip!

Some Ed

I don't know the third thing is necessarily a *rule* as such. Also, I think their first rule also applies to humans, though it seems like they have less ability to just go in and have their way with a human.

KCkittysnores

Not sure how you’re reading Yay as ever not having been Chaotic.

KCkittysnores

YA BIG SWEETIE

Jeffrey Anderson

Safe travels.

Jon Guyer

In *my* day, we had to collapse the global economy, up hill! both ways! before we could declare ourselves god-ruler of a world-spanning technostate. Honestly, these kids today.

Bill Silvia

So best-case, Yay become Hanners v02

"god-ruler of a world-spanning technostate" ^ thanks for that, Jeph, I'll be updating my business cards tomorrow morning

Leaflemming

I can't remember everything we've been told/given hints about re Yay's precise origins, but I'm wondering if it could happen twice. I'd like to see them dealing with a younger version of themselves. (Yay junior could be called Nay).

Rob McBobson

Yay's cute when they're pouting and all, but I gotta say that I hope we'll get some more Spooky stuff. Nothing EVIL or anything, it's just... I just don't want Yay to become one of those cool, scary characters who shows a softer side, and then ONLY has a softer side and never does anything but be cute.
