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

[–] [email protected] 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)

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

Shrimp or questioning?

[–] [email protected] 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 87 points 5 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 months ago

Honestly that would've been great lol

We need a comedy necromancy community

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Some times dumb things can still be funny.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

"Death of the author" serves us all again.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

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

I would have put JK Rowling peeking in

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

She's much too crabby.
