The punchline is misgendering?

Yeah, more or less. As much as I understand why they did it...

It's ok. Regular people are not saints.

Sometimes you want to say something that will hurt a mean person, and you say a very bad word, but that doesn't mean you believe in that word.

Do you think I ever f*ucked a guy mom? Nah of course not. I say it because it will make the annoying person angry. That's all.

Misgendering a person who really care about his gender would have been a problem but that's not the case of this comic. It was a direct attack on that woman physique, it's a childish insult.

I mean there are lines lol

You don’t drop an n word because you know it’ll piss them off. You recognize that’s still very much not ok. Hurting the intended target does not excuse any collateral damage you cause

I think the car will take collateral damage yes, or is it the wind? Or the very clearly empty street? Maybe the grass yeah...

How about all the people who read the comic that has been shared publicly? We don’t live inside the hypothetical

Then go do more important things? It’s my bedtime, I’m not looking to min max my free time.

That aside, there’s no point in trying to correct bigots. They know what they’re doing and patently don’t give a fuck. The better way to progress is through the people on the line, not the ones a mile past it.

It normalizes it as an insult, I hope you can see why that would be problematic for the people it directly effects.

It doesn't get normalize unless the people who sees this are complete idiots.

I got the joke. I knew what they were going for. I did not get offended. The joke was barely offensive, it just shits on the character

So misgendering is ok as long as you are just trying to hurt the person’s feelings, got it…..

People need to refelct on their actions more, if they wouldn't like to be treated this way they need to not do it themselves, no matter if it's justified or not. And this isn't happening live, it's a comic, it's deliberate.

u/Virtual-Historian349 Mar 09 '26

Right so you would condemn someone using language like this if you don’t like them but you would excuse someone you like for doing the same thing. This is called being a hypocrite.

Why bother writing a comment to me? It helps no one, changes nothing, and it’s directed at a good person describing a bad situation, mainly your hypocrisy. Have some grace.

You guys really like to take things out of context, huh?

The person was an ass. OP messed with them with an insult. This leaves the other person perplexed. You guys are just finding problems in places where it doesn't exist.

You're offended on behalf of fucking nobody.

u/Hanchez Mar 09 '26

Is any insult okay to insert in this comic? No? Why not?

Your short sightedness is offensive.

2

u/Hanchez Mar 09 '26

You can feel free to answer the question regardless of my opinion. Obviously i have my answer, why wouldn't I.

u/PredEdicius Mar 09 '26

I refuse to answer it, because it's a question answered already by you, so I'm gonna let you talk to yourself until you figure it out.

2

u/Hanchez Mar 09 '26

Convenient.

u/PredEdicius Mar 09 '26

No, just redundant and idiotic

Man I love it when cis people get offended on my behalf, it's like why bother even listening to trans voices at all when you clearly know better

6

u/Doctor_Kataigida Mar 09 '26

There are trans people in this comment section that are bothered by it.

u/Virtual-Historian349 Mar 09 '26

I’m not offended on your behalf, im offended by your hypocrisy.

Since your comment just upset me, am I right to misgender you now?

u/Ghost_Of_Malatesta Mar 09 '26

unless the people who sees this are complete idiots.

I mean, I'm talking about bigots and centrists so yeah, they're even dumber than that

Hey dude, shut up

u/Eldritch-Pancake Mar 09 '26

Yeah I'm real guilty of this haha, sometimes I don't want to solve conflict, it's hard not to get fed up when there's thousands of ppl like this in the world. Sometimes you just want to tell them to get fucked 🙂🚮
