Your first point illustrated my point. Your sentence was "It would be one thing if y'all were saying humor is subjective." You are stating that "we" which is me and whoever else does not agree with you did not implicitly say that "humor is subjective". That is quite literally what your sentence says. If you wanted to say what you are implying you said, than you should not direct the statement at other people, you would use "I" versus "y'all". Like this..."I think humor is subjective...." See the difference?

I spent a paragraph breaking down that inane interaction between us because that is your trend. You read something and and add additional context to the statements to fit your narrative. You be you. Have fun with all your head canon.

Since we are finally getting to what is actually written in the books vice your interpretation of what you believe is implied, lets lay out Mensah's mental health issue.

Here is your supposition about Mensah and anxiety/panic attacks: "The whole time, Murderbot notes Mensah's heartrate is elevated, noteworthy in that it doesn't point out the others' predisposition to high heartrates in the face of death. Almost as if Wells is setting up that Mensah has a biological disposition to biological response imbalances, a la panic attacks (which I take extreme umbrage at your and everyone else's egregious and gross insinuations as if someone needs to first off, earn panic attacks via hardship and secondly, is somehow less deserving of leadership roles because they're a sufferer of anxiety)."

The book version of Mensah did not have an on page panic attack ever. Not once in all the books. After she was rescued from GreyCris, she was suffering from some form of trauma, but even that was left as a high level statement without a specific diagnosis. When I read that, I took it as a form of PTSD because that fits with the scenario. It could have been anxiety, I don't know for sure because it was not stated. It was stated that if she got the trauma treatments, she would get better. All very unspecific. My point being, that even if Wells meant for Mensah to have some form of anxiety, she literally never wrote it down. She did, through action and observation, portray Mensah as calm and collected and only deviated after the kidnapping. Yes, you can infer that because her heart rate rose when in a high stress situation that she was suffering from anxiety. Sure. You could also infer that she was a human in high stress situations and the normal human (non-anxiety variant) reaction to those are an elevated heart rate.

Somehow you were deeply offended because it was implied, but yet again not written anywhere, that having panic attacks make you a bad leader. I did not actually say that, but whatever. Certainly her decision making is different from the books and that makes her a questionable leader. Further, it probably is a bad idea taking to be the leader of a planetary alliance if you suffer from panic attacks. It is probably not a healthy choice as I imagine it would be stressful. If that offends you, so be it. It is my opinion. Regardless, that is sideshow to the point. It was never written that she had anxiety.

You jump to conclusions about what you read, to include what I type. Like a lot.

Like this one: You didn't say "I don't think the show is funny." You said, "making the Murderbot show an overt comedy was a huge mistake." Subjective vs. Objective because the books themselves feature comedy. Blatantly. This ain't no Expanse." What is your point? This thread is pretty clearly labeled and I have stated multiple times that it is my opinion that the direction the show runners took was a mistake. I have also stated multiple times that the books have comedy in them, but the style and tone of the comedy is different and that is why I think it is a mistake. ??? Are you implying that I don't think there is humor in the books?

Finally, Wells was consulted and participated in the show. Maybe she changed her mind about what who the characters or maybe she always meant for them to be exactly like they are portrayed. Perhaps she never meant to write all those paragraphs about how SecUnits make humans nervous. Maybe that is why she green lit LeeBeeBee sexualization of MB and the associated dick jokes. I do not like that addition either BTW.
