I don't think Ping is doing that deliberately. She's talking about her own problems. But I think you are right that there is a nice parallel there, and that helps Junko understand where she's coming from.
Also, welcome to the forum.

I'm with you there, TWB, they sure are.
Mm, the same thing as is dumb when a girl is happy, angry, or indifferent? I guess?
Yes, her eyes. You can see the whole iris which is not normal unless you are purposely opening your eyes wide and while she has highlights in her eyes she has no pupils. And a creepy smile.
You forgot "hungry."
Do werebears get hangry?Teddy-Werebear wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2019 11:05 pmHungry is a need to be attended too... not an emotion in and of itself.
To paraphrase Miho, the tongue-in-cheek tone of my questions may have been deliberate, but my sincerity in asking them was unfeigned.Invisigoth wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 8:24 amPlease keep the conversation relevant to the topic and not about the attention seeking antics of some readers
For sure. But to be fair, most people are capable of being hangry. Not attending to the hungry need can generate anger, or have an influence on becoming angry. Perhaps Junko's emotional state in the comic is due in part to not having a proper meal before setting off on her wild ride. Being hungry usually does not effect my emotions too much since I have deprived myself of sustenance in the pursuit of sport during my younger years. It is different for some folks that miss meals. Missing meals can have a widely varied effect, maybe Junko needs to take better care of herself in that regard.
I believe that the fact that she recognizes that she's lacking something indicates that she's exceeded her design parametersmostlyharmless wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 10:52 pmPing has an amazing ability to change her body, so even if she is a "non-H" model, she may be able to manifest everything needed for physical love, if she is indeed missing some. If the missing parts are emotional, she has already exceeded her creator's design specs in that area. So; not an insurmountable problem, IMHO.
More than likely all of the hardware is there and as Cmdr Data would say it is fully functional. She either can't access or does not have the software to run those components.mostlyharmless wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 10:52 pmPing has an amazing ability to change her body, so even if she is a "non-H" model, she may be able to manifest everything needed for physical love, if she is indeed missing some.

We don't yet know the details of why she is as upset as she is. Assuming, despite that lack of evidence, that her emotions are just "dumb" or that she's "cranky" because she hasn't had enough to eat today is doing a disservice to her as a character imo.Teddy-Werebear wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 11:09 pmPerhaps Junko's emotional state in the comic is due in part to not having a proper meal before setting off on her wild ride.
Yes and yes.
I think it is quite likely that Junko is upset because Ping is messing with her "job." However she has more than lost her temper to the point of being hysterical. Junko has been shown to have a bad temper in the past, but she has not lost control to this degree so something else might be effecting her, like being hungry.
I can't imagine that being the case; "stay on your side of the street, ho" is nowhere near the dynamic that's been established so far between them. Upset at Ping for risking her own safety in a misguided attempt to protect Junko, sure. (Not that Ping was in actual danger from the Old Man of course, but she was heading off Junko in order to "offer" herself to a complete stranger; Junko would be quite justified in seeing that as a bad idea objectively, independent of her own connection to the Old Man.) But if Junko's meeting with the Old Man was just for the "job" then on the contrary she'd have nothing to worry about from Ping of all people. (Junko's had ample exposure to Ping's naivete already.)Teddy-Werebear wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2019 9:58 pmI think it is quite likely that Junko is upset because Ping is messing with her "job."
The word "hysterical" by its very nature, and certainly given its origins, is intrinsically dismissive; it is essentially equivalent to calling someone "inappropriately emotional." Again, given that we don't yet know the details of what Junko thought was going on between her and the Old Man relative to what he thought was going on, we aren't yet justified in trying to gauge the appropriateness of her emotions here. Starting off by labeling her state as "hysterical" (let alone dismissing it as due to something like "hunger" completely unrelated to the events as we've seen them develop so far) is taking as an assumption the thing that's being argued.However she has more than lost her temper to the point of being hysterical.
