Anyway, I have to go.
I’m just going to wrap up with this:
I agree with what everyone has said about Derpy’s actions. They shouldn’t be blanked dictating what is and is not a lesbian couple, and I’ve seen strong arguments for not taking “the staff said so” as a be-all, end-all.
I just disagree that the two statements in that example are a good example of them being inconsistent. It’s just not clear enough.
Addendum: When the staff are inconsistent, that’s a problem, but not one I’d immediately point to as malice unless they are specifically admitting to intentionally going against the instructions of other staff members. I wouldn’t attribute something to malice which just as easily can be linked to incompetence.
