Well, wait. Is there something inherently wrong with hypothetical speculation that hypothetical Shawn is trying to seduce Carol? Certainly the prior probability that Shawn wants to sleep with Carol is higher than the prior probability that Shanna wants to sleep with Carol. And sure, the evidence doesn’t really support an attempted seduction, but this is the internet. The remarkable thing is that I haven’t noticed anybody shipping Shanna and Carol for no sensible reason, not that people are hypothetically talking about Shawn seducing Carol.

Hopefully she’ll be rolled all the way downhill into the sea for being a meddling bint.

Loki, this could well be. If it was true, even worse so. (As sexism doesn’t cancel itself out..)

Exactly. It’s there, but many who dislike Shanna and like Carol have probably either missed it or don’t want to believe its there. (No offense to those who like Carol, as I like Carol too.)

To CorrTerek, it was mentioned once to my knowledge, and rather vaguely. We don’t know if she’s Jack Thompson levels of anti-violence or rather just believes parents shouldn’t buy Postal 2 for their 8 year old and thinks they and sellers should be more responsible. Likewise, we don’t know how against the Dark Knight she was, if at all, or if Carol just used that as an unrelated example as a distraction.

Main point is, there is a lot more evidence supporting Shanna’s justice seeking motivations than there is in support of her anti-violent media beliefs. But to me, it’s not a popularity contest between either character. They’re both fascinating and well written.

oK, I will concede. She can’t prove the murder with what she got at the moment. But her line of reasoning about what is going on is sound up to now. And even if you consider her reasoning weak (I don’t, up to now), it doesn’t change the fact that, by coincidence or not, her guesses are all correct.
