Re: Haley's secret
Possibly interesting/amusing: Stumbled across this one from the cryptogram arc, which shows Haley's personalities with a number of hair colors according to their nature. And young (innocent/trusting?) Haley is still a ginger.

Re: Haley's secret
Haven't we already figured out that she's Redcloak's half aasimar niece? Whatever an aasimar is

Re: Haley's secret
I think the "excuse me, what?" was more because of the implication of "I'm not exactly what you would call female" being written off because of Elan or Eugene having seen her genitalia and not having made any blatantly transphobic remarks on the topic because apparently that's what we should expect. The comment did come across as transphobic to me.

Re: Haley's secret
I don't think a character needs to be transphobic to notice that kind of thing. And it's not exactly a secret that Elan is bad at staying quiet about things. Hell, the latest update shows him having some serious trouble remaining silent while waiting.
Applying a penalty to Perception checks when a character is indifferent to whatever it is their Perception check is meant to pick up on would be an interesting mechanic but might encourage players to give their characters some questionable personalities.
EDIT:
On a slightly more serious note, I think I remember Rich saying that the story arc where Roy was turned into a girl was one of the few times where he had to deal with fan mail telling him the comic actually caused people significant distress, with as consequence that he's staying the hell away from trans stuff because he doesn't trust himself to write it in a way which doesn't upset trans people.Last edited by Worldsong; 2021-05-26 at 06:05 AM.

Re: Haley's secret
They might notice because they have eyes. But anyone (including Haley herself) saying something to the effect of "Haley isn't exactly what you would call female" would still be a problem.
