She has a "My Wife" shirt and they're suprised?

Worse yet: Castorice is literally a virtual girl.

I would get a shirt like that if it helped me pass as a lesbian girl

Yuri memes delivering Oxford Comma propaganda… That definitely wasn't in my bingo card

Wouldn't Oxford comma be "girls, burger, or pizza?"

[-] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's my understanding that the Oxford comma only exists in lists that are at least three items long. So in the case of the original comic, there can not be an Oxford comma.

One element of the humor in this comic is the ambiguous place the comma occupies for representing a pause in English speech.

Unfortunately, my favorite punctuation for this type of pause in written English---the em dash---is now a sign of AI writing.

Consider,

  • "Girls, X or Y?"
  • "Girls---X, or Y?"

Both convey the nuances of pauses and emphasis in spoken English slightly differently.

If you consider “girls” as its own clause, then yes, the list is only two items long and therefore no Oxford comma is needed. But the joke precisely appears when you consider “girls” as part of the list and when you take into account that some people don’t use Oxford commas. If you do so, that leads to a 3-items-long list

or if you'd like to be a little more old-fashioned, see

  • "Girls: X or Y?"

it does have its shortcomings (a fair bit of them), but also in the right context is a little charmful too!

punctuation in english is beautifully chaotic

[-] snek_boi@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Indeed. The lack of Oxford comma is what lead to a misunderstanding :P

If only I could have that type of weight while eating burgers or pizza. 😭

You can! Just not afterward.

Before I clicked: "Girls please"

After I clicked: "Yay!"

Bonus points for Marydjiang for using the correct phone decals for each character.

[-] anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

that's pretty cool

[-] just2look@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

Why does no one have eyes in the second panel?

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 14 points 1 month ago

It's just a trope in anime.

It's not awkwardness as much as it's trying to convey everyone's brain short circuiting for a moment.

Awkwardness is usually represented with sweat on the forehead/temple area.

And then you get stuff like jittering eyeballs conveying extreme stress, or long internal monologues occurring within half a second in the middle of combat.

Anime literacy to the rescuuuuee

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 9 points 1 month ago

In hindsight the artist could've used the loading headgear lol

[-] just2look@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

I appreciate it. I wouldn't say I'm super anime literate.

[-] anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago

I think it's just a way to express awkwardness in the drawing

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

Is she using one of those collectible Zelda DS'?

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Its her phone in landscape mode

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago
