@Rolando @truecomics you can mostly predict how much of a good guy Everett is going to be by how closely his form approximates a perfect sphere. Early Everett was more normal human shaped and was just a dick. This is a highly spherical good guy Everett!

@brbposting @Rolando Everett is one of those characters where I can hear his voice absolutely clearly

@Rolando Everett in full "Man of the People" mode. There was another one along the same line where a pastor recognized a rich deacon for donating for foreign missions and Everett yelled that the money would be better spent fixing up the tenements he owned which were in such bad shape they were a danger to the inhabitants

@verity_kindle @AllNewTypeFace Women achieving property-rights equality with men was a gradual process but well underway by Everett's time. https://www.thoughtco.com/property-rights-of-women-3529578

@Rolando This is the second one I've seen where True is mortified by the memory of his lovey dovey talk towards Mrs True in their youth.

In the other one he scoffs at a woman talking to a baby in a sugary cootchy-coo kind of way, and Mrs True points out that's exactly how he used to talk to her when they were courting.

Oh Everett. You will never live down your lovey dovey ways as a youthful swain

@MeDuViNoX @Rolando he's not morbidly obese, he's approaching deadly geometric perfection. Like a cannonball, or a sphere of red-hot nickel, or the Demon Core.

@Rhynoplaz still, on a scale from "punishing someone for cruelty to animals" (not petty at all) to "punishing someone for wearing a hat crooked" (highly petty) I'd say that this is far closer to the "wearing a hat crooked" end of the scale.

(Yes, Everett once walloped a guy for wearing a hat at an excessively jaunty angle)

@Rolando Pettiness level: HIGH

@thejoker954 @I_Has_A_Hat whoever happens to be getting on the train deserves to be able to get on without climbing over this douchebag.

@Rolando @ShareMySims I mean, I don't think it was understood as a slur at the time. It's not like anyone in the US knew the correct endonym "Khoekhoe" and was choosing to use a different term "Hottentot" instead in order to express contempt.

But characterizing bowing as an excessively servile action characteristic of a "primitive" people is in and of itself problematic.

@Bougie_Birdie @clark Everett's pretty damn petty sometimes, this is his karma coming back to bite him.
