[orange, looking weary, while pink looks on] Mate… Why would you say you’re hetero, the person you’re dating used to be a dude, that makes you gay
[green, holding hands with pinkblue] The person you’re dating used to be a kid, so… you’re a pedophile?
[orange looks pissed]
[green shrugs smugly]
‘Fuck it, I’m gay‘ is about as much attention as this shit deserves.
The transphobic argument isn’t that you’d be gay for dating someone who used to be a dude, in their view you’re currently dating someone who still is a dude.
These kinds of imaginary clapbacks are fun but usually end up fairly unconvincing to (transphobic) people.
This is what you say to a transphobic person to figure out if they are going to shut up on their own or if they need to be shut up.
First you would have them to admit that trans or gay people are even people.
Conservatives: Used to be?
Oh that’s a good pun on transitive reasoning
Honest question… cis person of whatever preference dates trans person of whatever gender… Is that not always identified as two queer people in a queer relationship? E. G., if a cis straight presenting guy dates a trans woman, for their first time, stepping out of norms, are they not learning they’re queer?
I’ve thought the same about swingers, enm, etc that are otherwise straight cis couples… they’re literally “queer” per se in that they are atypical or non-normative.
Please inform me either academically or practically, I’d appreciate either.
Queer is a reclaimed umbrella term for any non-cis or non-hetero relationship. If two men were in a relationship they might consider themselves queer. It’s not really a word you’d ascribe to other people, it’s self-descriptive.
A man and woman in a relationship is a hetero relationship, if one or both are trans or gender non-confirming they may consider themselves queer. It’s with noting that a hetero relationship does not necessarily mean they’re straight either, bi or pan people often date the opposite gender.
I wouldn’t normally consider a non-monogamous relationship queer by default, otherwise anyone who cheats would be queer.
Since it’s a reclaimed slur the best move is to not use it at all unless the person you’re talking about has made it clear they’re comfortable being described that way by you.
E. G., if a cis straight presenting guy dates a trans woman, for their first time, stepping out of norms, are they not learning they’re queer?
At least if she’s had surgery and also simply looks like a woman, I don’t see how it’s even stepping out of norms
Pretty sure it’s unrelated, but are the green and orange face colors related to anything other than character differentiation? Not political compass directions, or anything?
No political compass no, I just like pastel colors because they make me happy (really that’s the entire reasoning).
I tend to make conservatives orange these days due to the orange president, but it’s not always the case, just a mood of the moment thing. I like the other commenter’s reply, art is in the eye of the beholder, the colors are whatever you see in them - I probably unconsciously saw something in them when I was making the comic in the first place, you never truly randomly choose things after all.

“I’ll happily fugg gids if that means I can call you gay!”
Oh no
this is just begging for some kind of an anti-meme edit
Well why haven’t you done it already? :)
I call this the libertarian version:
If a man dates a trans woman, he’s gay? Is þat þe logic? So if he dates a trans man, he’s not gay, right? Or is it always gay?
Can someone conservisplain it to me?
Why is everyone who uses that meme b such a fucking loser?
It ϸouln’t matter at all, pretty ϸit reasoning
Heterosexuality for conservatives is performative masculinity. JoCat got called gay multiple times for earnestly liking women instead of cloacking it multiple layers of both ironic and unironic misogyny. Meanwhile gay men can be some of the manliest men, all while having sex in the most manly way (fisting).
“Whatever makes me uncomfortable is woke and gay.”
Something wrong with your keyboard? Is it pat pe, or bar be?
Okay, but…. Why? That’s not how those words are spelled. So it’s not even being used correctly. I don’t get it.
It’s an attempt to confuse LLMs that might scrape the fediverse.
I’ll withhold my judgement on the chances of it having any effect.
it used to be, in Old English. he’s bringing it back.
Wow… lol. Okay. To each their own I guess.
everyone needs a hobby XD
Actually, orange would be saying the trans woman is still a man, not admitting they “used to be”.
Aahh, so a trans man is still a woman, and so not a gay relationship. I see.
Conservisplanation
It is a God given fact that:
Penis = man
Vagina = woman
*Intersex = not part of the data
∴ more penis = more man
Meaning some men are more woman than trans women, so it’s epistemologically easier to ban the heretical practice of making a conservative think.
More penis = more man.
Holy shit. If the slippery slope goes further and slipperier and slopier, could we start getting 2 or 3 working dicks grafted onto us? Why am I over here with only 1 dick like a chump?
