Anybody else think that White Hat might be aromantic? 42.book.addict (talk) 18:47, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

I see no reason to assume he is talking about romance at all. All relationships can be difficult, whether romantic, sexual, platonic, familiar or professional. Tharkon (talk) 19:07, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
Yeah, I don't think the explanation (as of this reply) is really relevant, he just struggles to form any kind of meaningful relationship. 172.70.100.156 19:18, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
I would agree if he expressed disinterest or something, but I don't think negativity = aromantic.
I’m on the original user’s side. The language expressed in the comic is negative, as White Hat thinks that relationships are gruelling and require a lot of resolve to engage in. 172.71.151.4 00:07, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Jeez. I can relate.... 172.70.178.143 19:15, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

I think it's pretty clear that the "offscreen voice" is one of Cueball or Ponytail, the frame is just close up on White Hat so we can't see which of his companions is responding. And "wary and unsure news"? I think a better expression would be "unsure agreement". Barmar (talk) 22:22, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
