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

Shrimp or questioning?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 90 points 6 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] Tier1BuildABear 29 points 6 months ago

Honestly that would've been great lol

We need a comedy necromancy community

[–] danc4498 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Some times dumb things can still be funny.

[–] Tier1BuildABear 5 points 6 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 6 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.

[–] kamenlady 10 points 6 months ago

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

How do I know he didn't just become gay?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

You can’t be sea-rious.

~~I wish I was a shrimp...~~

I would have put JK Rowling peeking in

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

She's much too crabby.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Shrimp is bugs

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

Sand-sational.

"I've suddenly received the urge to be put on a Barbie."
