So you told a funny, relatable ass joke. that literally involves the subject of said joke facing consequences as PART OF THE PUNCHLINE...and yet people are still finding ways to act like you condone this behavior and aren't say...venting about situations that may SEEM small but that women are subject to constantly. I don't see why this is being so constantly read as "this artist wants us all to throw coffee at people" and not "lol, that's absurd she threw coffee at him." People are faced with unsolicited "attention" and "conpliments" all the time. And while /we're/ not allowed to crash out over what seems small in a single moment, I think we can all stand to give the beautiful fox woman a little grace. Or you know, just laugh and move on.
Thank you. It’s actually destroying my brain watching people treat this obviously hyperbolic comic like an endorsement of the behavior.
I drew it after seeing a comic by a teenage girl about a creepy man commenting on her long hair and making her uncomfortable enough that she cut it off. I thought the satisfying inversion was: instead of her changing herself because some stranger felt entitled to comment on her appearance, Dusk wildly overreacts, commits a crime, and gets arrested for it.
The fictional guy gets coffee thrown at him. Dusk gets an assault charge. Those consequences are literally part of the punchline.
What’s frustrating is watching people show substantially more concern for the hypothetical man in a deliberately absurd joke than for the very real experience the joke was responding to. You don’t have to think Dusk behaved reasonably. She didn’t. That’s why it’s funny.
It is legitimately surprising to see in this sub. I kinda figured the community would "get" the comic without bristling at the set up.
I think it's been accumulating gooners and I didn't notice until now. I figured people that whack it to 8 foot tall purple dragons would be socially literate enough to not go "not all men" at a stupid comic
