Raine Dog/YMMV


 * Alternative Character Interpretation: One reviewer suggested that Raine is actually trolling the audience by acting out the characteristics of the most annoying liberal stereotypes in order to piss off everyone she meets to the point where they become avid followers of Ayn Rand.
 * Unfortunate Implications: Quite a few:
 * Raine kissing the boy in the 2009 version. Simpson was already using Raine as an Author Avatar before the comic started, and fans and detractors made a number of guesses as to what this was supposed to represent, all of which have Unfortunate Implications, including the idea that because dogs age differently than humans, it's basically an adult dog making out with a human child. But the author seems to intend Raine to stand in for transgender characters, so the implications of that aren't much better (that despite having a sex change herself, Simpson ended up portraying transgender people as dogs).
 * Raine standing in for Martin Luther King in the 2011 version. Again, Raine is supposed to represent a transgender character, but the implication of a dog standing in for an African American civil rights leader is not much better than the implication of TG people as dogs.
