As an individual, I hate Clockwork, but I don't find his posts uninteresting to read like I do Netcats. For the most part, I think his worldview makes him an interesting foil to many of the more moral shadowrunners - my only big beef with him as a character is his bias against technomancers - not because he's prejudiced, but because he just seethes vitriol and has no apparent reason for it. It's bias that doesn't seem to have any grounding in his personal experience or history, and seems inconsistent for a character who otherwise seems to be driven by pure pragmatism.
Netcat, on the other hand, is inconsistent an a lot more things. If it's not a topic relating to motherhood, being a woman, or being a technomancer, she's waffled on it like McCain in 2008. In many ways, she reminds me off (and I know this is weird) Debra from Everybody Loves Raymond. I can't fault a single one of her posts about injustices and whatnot, but when it's all she ever seems to go off about, it gets pretty tiresome. On top of that, while I won't dispute that technomancers are often persecuted, and she's certainly had to deal with some shit because of it, in a world where corps are fucking everyone over, magical animals oppress a population in Siberia with secret police, and people are having their souls shredded and then being bound to their bodies as cyberzombies, she writes like she has suffered and gone through more arduous trials than anyone in the history of suffering, and she's quick to pounce on people and tell them that they just don't get it. Her whole persona to me is reminiscent of a lot of people I know who come home and bitch about their retail job (or something similar) and talk about how they saved the day for everyone but no one ever thanks them. Ultimately, she comes across to me as two-dimensional and oppressively negative.
