Those curtains are horrible, regardless of your gender. Source: I'm male (for now, at least)

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

Shrimp or questioning?

[–] Liz@midwest.social 14 points 5 months ago

Yeah I mean, you gotta be something special to think light green polka dots on a medium green background is a good look for a curtain.

"Shabby chic"

I feel like this would be funny if the text in the top left corner just wasnt there. Like the shrimp just randomly transforms into an arch user for no reason

[–] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Different joke. This one is funny because trans women have a tendency to be arch users.

Except trans lesbians, which go for debian (can confirm am debian user)

Boomer humour aside how someone can be an adult and not be tired of this kind of joke just from a repetition POV is beyond me.

Meh, I don't agree with these gender stereotypes, but they're all something we can relate to and find silly.

Why doesn't the writer of the comic just have him put on a dress and play with a Barbie? Since that's basically what the joke is. Maybe it's just me but this one's fuckin dumb.

[–] match@pawb.social 90 points 5 months ago (3 children)

the funniest thing would've been to have 5 textless panels of a shrimp just sitting there

[–] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago

Honestly that would've been great lol

We need a comedy necromancy community

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Some times dumb things can still be funny.

[–] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

True, humor is subjective and I guess I just personally didn't find it in this one

Unfortunately, I suspect the creators intent is to not normalize transgender in nature, but simple to get a cheap laugh at the expense of traditional gender roles.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fortunately for us, the intent of the art has little to do with how it's perceived

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

"Death of the author" serves us all again.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

I thought that too. But the shrimp saved this story.

How do I know he didn't just become gay?

You can’t be sea-rious.

~~I wish I was a shrimp...~~

I would have put JK Rowling peeking in

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 6 points 5 months ago

She's much too crabby.

Sand-sational.

"I've suddenly received the urge to be put on a Barbie."
