Robbie: "Jonah... you can't just assume that's the case. It's unethical AND libel."

Jonah: "You know what IS unethical, Robertson?!? That circus act of an arachnid menace doing this to spite me!!!!"

Petra: "Here you go, JJ! Fresh off the old camera as of this morning."

Petra: "...You know Jonah, I've gotten pretty close-up pictures of the web-head these last few weeks, and from experience I can almost CERTAINLY tell you her transition is the real deal."

Robbie: "...told you, man."

Jonah: "Urrrrgghhhhh, SCRATCH WHAT I SAID!! Change the headline: SPIDER-WOMAN STILL THE SAME SPIDER-MENACE! Now get out of here, my office is not a recreational lounge!"

Petra: "...you still haven't paid me for the pictures."

Jonah: "What? ...oh. FINE Parker, you drive a hard-bargain! Talk to my secretary for your check, tell her to give you a bonus on my part so you can buy some HRT or whatever it is you kids use these days. If there's one thing J. Jonah Jameson does well, it's treating his employees with dignity and respect!!"

kingpin: ...this changes nothing.

electro: [very clearly uncomfortable but not willing to interrogate what that says about himself] so is this, like, a permanent thing?

rhino: you are...AH!! [drops the bags of money he's holding and gives spider-woman a bone-crushing hug] MY FRIEND!!! YES!!! my cousin's wife, she is like you as well! beautiful woman. maybe you know her? you do not? is not how that works? i see. you two must meet. we will arrange dinner after i break out from raft again. uhp--no arguments. i have decided.

green goblin: good for you, bug! though don't think i'll go easy on you because of this. after all, you and i both know i don't have a problem killing girls! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

white rabbit: girl!!! me too!!! no way!!! you know, this is perfect timing actually, beetle and i have been looking for a third, if you're interested...

carnage: [sprinting down the street on all fours holding the first syllable of a slur like piccolo charging his special beam cannon] fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffFFFFFFFAGGOTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!

Likewise, any half descent white ally must be a full race traitor. There cannot be an anti-racism concerned with white feelings. Whiteness as a concept is the enemy. There's no way around it. There is zero room for compromise. The greatest failure of feminist and queer movements is the failure to center the racialized. Opting instead to be homonationalists and feminationalists.

And GLaDOS interjects like, "You didn't do this. She did all the work!"

I find that interjection fascinating because. Like.

GLaDOS doesn't actually know anything about what happened behind the scenes. She lost track of Chell and Wheatley after Wheatley opened up a wall panel and they bolted off together into the facility's inner workings. She doesn't see them again until Chell falls for her fake door trap, at which point GLaDOS is unpleasantly surprised to discover that Chell's disabled the turrets and neurotoxin in the meantime.

She has no evidentiary foundation to base that accusation on.

This is also before GLaDOS recognizes Wheatley as the Dumbass Core, so it's not based on an assessment of him.

The only explanation it leaves is that it's based on her assessment of Chell. Despite GLaDOS's enmity towards Chell, the one thing she rarely goes after Chell for is her intelligence.

When she does, it's an admission of her high standards for Chell; Like when the fake door trap works and GLaDOS concedes, "I didn't actually think that would work. I already built a much better, smarter trap up ahead for when this one fails." That's a backhanded insult. It's calling her dumb, but in a disappointed way rather than an affirming way.

Chell tests very well. Between the two games, GLaDOS has developed a strong understanding of Chell's aptitude for critical thinking and problem-solving in stressful situations.

This isn't going to become some anomalous method of arresting people. They will be shocking people like this as a matter of course.
