Alright... So lesbian relationship. One of them decides they're not a woman anymore. They both decide to devorce..................
Maybe I'm missing something, but is there supposed to be a joke somewhere in here?
Their mutual regard for one another transcends what they want from the relationship, which contrasts humourously with hetero norms of trying to change one other to get what you want
Being selfish is hetero normative? I'm probably being defensive but this feels like a weird statement to make.
It's societally normative, as is heterosexuality. Correlative, not causative.
I'm here as a het to tell you that the gays do laugh at us, and it's fine
So stereotyping is suddenly okay if the gays are the ones doing it?
If your jokes made around stereotypes in queer communities are offending people the jokes are probably just veiled insults. You can do things, you just need to be at least a little versed in the community and understand how to make respectful jokes instead of demeaning ones.
Or some queer people are too sensitive. Some people live to get offended, they choose to get offended about damn near everything everyone says.
Yeah it's weird how people holding bigoted views are also often easily offended. People are people ig...
As long as they stereotyping gayness and they are gay it kinda seems ok. Laughing about your self is okay i think
Please understand the difference between punch-down and punch-up comedy on your own time.
Ok, but... That's not something that's funny.
It would work in a greater narrative, perhaps, where we as readers know the characters. Not this one off thing.
Not every joke is gonna be for you, don't worry about it
The humor for me is that you kind of expect something like this to end in bitter tears and a sad goodbye, but they're both actually totally fine with a divorce and even hype each other up for new relationships.
A lot of trans discovery/coming out stories don't end very happily, so it's nice to see one that does.
Also, it's a comic strip, which does not necessarily mean there is a joke.
Brenda Starr and Mark Trail were goddamn laugh riots.
This isn't the "jokes" community, it's the "comic strips" community
