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

Shrimp or questioning?

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.

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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 months ago

Honestly that would've been great lol

We need a comedy necromancy community

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Some times dumb things can still be funny.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 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 10 months ago (1 children)

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

"Death of the author" serves us all again.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 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 would have put JK Rowling peeking in

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

She's much too crabby.
