Like... ANY PERSON FORCING ANOTHER PERSON INTO SEX IS RAPE. Gender and relationship don't matter at all - if there's no consent, IT'S RAPE. Why would that be hard to understand?
@girldrawsghosts
I like how even at the end, when he fights John, he seems really resigned, and is only doing it because he feels he HAS to since John killed his son. It's clear he doesn't want to, and doesn't expect to win.
@womenpostingws
There are two kinds of people:
"I had to suffer - it's not fair if you don't."
"Nobody should have to suffer like I did."
He's the first, she's the second.
@ErinInTheMorn
I could be wrong, but if a cis woman was intentionally showing off her naked body in the women's locker room, and basically sexually harassing strangers, she'd probably also be in trouble.
Like... it's the behavior that's bad, not who the person is.
@LordAslanThe2nd
See, it's funny, because he's so afraid of being called racist that he won't use the word black. SIDE-SPLITTING!
The only accurate part of the comic is the black dude looking confused/annoyed/suspicious in the first panel.
@_celia_bedelia_
Surely there's no reason to ask an older teenager personal questions they might be afraid to answer in front of their parents *without their parents around!* How ridiculous!
@MorganJerkins
Now, I have put pots in the fridge before. Sometimes it's just the best way to do it, depending on pot size and how much food is left and etc.
But I wouldn't pretend like "she didn't explicitly say not to" was a good reason to do it.
@ask_aubry
The best possible explanation is that he dumped it at a shelter and is refusing to tell her, and I suspect it's less humane than that.
If this isn't a red flag for future DV then I don't know what is.
@InkMasterbator
Now, let's consider that trans people are AT LEAST 1% of the population. The number on the right *should* then be at least 30.
So it seems like trans folk are actually far less likely to commit one even when accounting for demographic size.
@ask_aubry
They lied to hospital staff and caused her so much stress she had to get an emergency C-section.
An apology from them is nowhere near *enough,* but it's definitely owed.
@ConSelfOwns
Why do they keep thinking we were the ones who changed Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, and Land O Lakes? The only mass outrage about those happened from people complaining about the changes.
@DomainDead
People like this *always* have trans women's genitalia on the brain. And they don't get what that says about them.
Also: how dare this woman who's a skilled archer, climber, fighter, and survivalist have *muscles*?! What kind of sense does that make?
@ask_aubry
At an absolute bare minimum, HE should have called her a ride or paid for an Uber, and then stayed in contact with her via phone or text until he knew she was safe.
Bare. Minimum.
Girl, he doesn't care about you if it's even a slight inconvenience to him. Get out.
@TheRightCant
Accursed environmental regulations! When will they stop hampering our giant robot superheroes?
... what do you mean, we don't have giant robot superheroes?
@ask_aubry
Holy shit, what the fuck.
She just had a whole-ass human being PUSH ITS WAY OUT OF HER, let her rest her body until she feels she's ready. It's not complicated.
@iamharaldur
I can explain it:
They're transphobes, and transphobia also hurts c1s women who aren't "feminine" enough, or who are even *suspected* of *possibly* being trans.
It's really that simple.
@nyx_nyx_nyx_666
"We can always tell.
Well, usually.
Pretty often.
Frequently.
About half the time.
Sometimes.
Occasionally.
Almost never--
Look, would you just shut up and let us be transphobic?!"
@ask_aubry
"Does anyone know what I should do?"
Contact Whole Man Disposal Services. Then find someone else, who won't tell you what to do with your own damn body.
@_celia_bedelia_
If he wasn't gonna wrap it, he could at least have taken it out of the box and put it in a damn gift bag. That's *even less* effort than wrapping, but it still shows a bit of thought.
@girlziplocked
How has he made it to adulthood without EVER hearing about Edible Arrangements, 1-800-Flowers, or anything similar? How has he, apparently, never ordered anything online or even ordered a goddamn pizza before? Because ordering flowers isn't any harder than that.
@AroundHereProbs
@jessiegender
That's a pretty accurate summary. It explains what the hell Zelda is doing on this list - a surface level reading is "man swing sword, kill obviously evil monster, save princess" which yeah, I get it.
@vitt2tsnoc
I try to tell men that saying "not all men" is entirely useless. Women *already know* it's not all men. They don't need to be told. And if you DO say it, you come across as defensive, suggesting that you ARE one of the bad men.
@DeeDeeTheVamp
@girldrawsghosts
True. I'd categorize his son under that umbrella too, though - a mob boss' son is murdered and he does nothing, he'll look weak and vulnerable.
@ask_aubry
Jesus chicken-fried Christ. It's not like she was just being picky (although a boundary is still a boundary!), *she was literally recovering from surgery!* If someone asks you to be careful around their WOUND SITE, you're supposed to listen!
@ask_aubry
It's okay to ask a teenager to look after their younger siblings *sometimes,* if it's really needed. But it's NOT okay to *obligate* them to do it on a regular basis.
@The14thDemon
I don't get framerate snobs. If it runs at least 30, it's fine. Maybe, *MAYBE,* it matters for people who play competitively for money. For everyone else, it's just being pretentious.
@tiredgrapes
I can confirm that "cute" is not the word my wife used to use when I would go multiple days without showering and sit stewing in su*c*dal ideation.
@CaelanConrad
Oh, right, I totally forgot about the Olympics hosting Women's Kindness Punching, where you're only allowed to gently tap the parts with padding on them.
@halomancer1
Did this person somehow miss that you can make a male character and pick he/him, or a female one and pick she/her, and then just go about your business?
Do they think you HAVE to play as a trans person?
@OnlyAWorldAway
This kind of reminds me of something I read in a time-travel story once.
"I actually went back and assassinated Seighart Lorenz."
"Who?"
"Exactly. I thought I'd stopped an atrocity, only for a failed artist from Austria to do all the same shit."
@DreamLeaf5
So there's this book I read where the antihero protagonist buries someone in sand up to their neck, then pours orange juice all over their face, and a trail of it to a nearby anthill.
For some reason, reading these guys' posts made me think about that.
@ask_aubry
When you've been telling her for TWENTY-FIVE YEARS that you didn't want kids, then yeah, it's pretty problematic to suddenly change your mind and break up with her over it.
@ask_aubry
It will never stop being hilarious seeing men complain that women never enjoy sex.
And they NEVER realize what they're saying about themselves.
@halomancer1
Also, like... I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that Oppenheimer is just a movie, and therefore probably didn't commit any war crimes.
@questionableway
Lab-grown diamonds aren't subject to the artificial scarcity of natural ones, thus depriving the De Beers cartel of their monopoly and making them slightly less disgustingly rich!
(You didn't say it had to be a good or compelling argument.)
@RightWingCope
There's a lot to unpack here. First, the idea that a 12 year old being pregnant is a GOOD thing, and that she should carry to term. Second, the idea that anyone is "targeting kids with abortion," as if we're advocating for underage pregnancy to advance a pro-abortion agenda. (1)
@RightWingCope
I understand that some men have a creepy, disgusting tendency to lust after barely legal girls.
What I don't understand is their insistence that they speak for all of us.
@ask_aubry
The backstory doesn't even matter - if your partner tells you something you're doing is hurting them, *you stop.* It's that simple. Failure to do this means you don't love them or respect them.
@DreamLeaf5
It's wild to me that her image has been used to make fun of "overreacting liberals" when she was ultimately right to react so poorly - several times over, even.
@xgigglypuff
There's a reason that the guy who figured out how to make milk safer ended up with the damn procedure named after him. It's almost like it's a really important scientific achievement.
@RightWingCope
Obviously, not EVERY homophobic GOP politician is a self-hating closeted gay.
But we know for a fact that Grindr usage skyrockets during the RNC.
@ask_aubry
Today I learned that sex with men is somehow necessary to provide women with adequate nutrition.
I guess someone should start a charity for starving lesbians...?
@TheBreakingRprt
@RightWingCope
A man who has repeatedly, openly, directly called for political violence against his opponents *absolutely deserves it* if political violence happens to him.
It's that simple.
