One, Joyce does get angry before. She very clearly has an angry expression when she's delivering that line. Also, flip phones do count as cell phones. That's what they were called before smart phones were invented.

That\'s what they were called before smart phones were invented. And as I said above, Joyce is the one having the argument. Willis has openly admitted Becky\'s story is so that Joyce can progress as a character, which is what\'s happening here.

Two, A) yeah that's her second line but as I said when I messaged you, it's a quick throwaway. We are not given much more insight beyond that. Also it doesn't have anything to do with the robbery. Tennessee was her punishment but did it make her learn anything from the experience? B) It barely came up in the first three books. Where are these strips where it's shown as being shameful? In fact Sal barely appears in the first three books, her main contribution to the story was that her absence motivated the Billie V Ruth arc. C) You're kind of just adding to my argument. And while Sal got over it we don't know how she feels about it in hindsight. D) I am glad we can agree on Ethan. But that just adds to my point. His story is being whitewashed because Willis won't give him an arc that doesn't revolve around his white ex-girlfriends. Hell, even the Danny thing is pretty much about Amber.

Three, yes she's occasionally called out but it never sticks. She still hangs around Dorothy and Walky with no issues and at the beginning of chapter two of book six she has other people in the dorm trying their best to keep her from being spotted by Ruth. She's homeless and then she gets a dorm. She draws attention to herself with a noticeable haircut and screaming at the top of her lungs she's a lesbian, nobody notices she shouldn't be at the University. Her Dad shows up to take her away and then he's put in jail. Everything falls into place for her.

Carla... more debatable considering how little screen time she's had at the moment. But, as mentioned in the Walkypedia entry, if you don't hate her it's because she hasn't been trying hard enough... yet we're supposed to like her? The strip does clearly put her in a protagonist role so obviously we're supposed to and Willis does get very defensive to anyone who goes against her.

This is getting a little heavier than I'd like. Could someone else chime in with their thoughts?

This is getting a little heavier than I\'d like. I\'d rather this not turn into a flame war so I might try and stay out of this since I think everything I have to say has been said. Could someone else chime in with their thoughts?
