"I wanna be a BEAUTIFUL LADY mom, not some scarlet skank!"
I dont care what season I am I'm going to wear black because I love it π
Black is OP. Get gifted a piece of clothing in non-black? No biggie, will fit with literally the entire rest of your wardrobe, because everything else is black, and black goes with everything.
Everything except a slightly different black.
I don't currently identify as trans, but when I was a kid I did have a phase of wanting to cross-dress and pretend to be a girl. I was orphan annie for halloween one year. My mom curled my hair. π
My son likes having his nails painted and when he's putting on a costume, he'll sometimes go for a dress. Does this mean he's trans? Of course not. He's just a kid and he does whatever makes him happy.
Just look! This is what the liberals want, for all men to prance around in dresses! No respect for baby jeebuz and sky daddy's wishes at all. Despicable!

Oh yes, those terrible womanly dres⦠oh wait
I remember reading a story about a guy who dressed up in his mom's clothes to pretend he was her as a child. He did not grow up to be trans or gay, he just wanted to cosplay as a person he loved and admired. They just laughted it off. It is insane that I similar stories where parents will punish kid for similar behavior.
I can remember being interested in wearing feminine clothing and even makeup as a child and teenager. At some point I had online friends who were transgender and they kind of pushed the idea that maybe I was trans too (no hate to them, they were teenagers too and probably just excited), but no, still definitely a dude. It's just fun to try different things!
Yup. That's pretty much me. I'm in my late 30s and as a kid I didn't really dress up much but for some reason I could walk in heels like no ones business.
Always been kind of curious around that stuff, and wasn't quite sure where I fell in the spectrum. But now that I'm married to an enby, and have a girlfriend who's trans, it's quite apparent to me I am anything but trans. Just a pan/poly dude who leans fem. I wear ankle long skirts in the summer time because they're far more comfortable than pants (And they look good too).
Clothing is not gendered. Just because you like wearing clothes that are "intended" for the other gender doesn't change you as a person. Just because I like wearing skirts because I got a lot going on down there and I like the room doesn't make me any less of a man.
Not exactly the same thing, but I unwillingly was dressed up like a girl because my older sister thought it was hilarious to use me as a doll apparently. She was right (even though I didn't think so at the time) and we still laugh about it 40 years later. People need to get over this silly fear.
I'm sure I'll be seeing this reposted in the chud-o-sphere.
transphobes will likely confuse cross-dressing with being trans too.
I think it's a bit harsh to call someone transphobic for not understanding something. It's not an integral part of everyone's life, so educate them and be patient with them. If they want to learn more about the differences that's already a great thing.
As a centrist kind of non-woke person, if I see my son playing with dresses, I go "oh, cool" and move on. Not worth making a fuss about in any direction.
My first son (biologically) turned out to be a trans, and never exhibited any clues towards it before leaping out of the closet as an older teenager.

This is far from centrist, it's actually a very leftist position. "Leaving people be" sounds apolitical until you realize that 50% of the population want to repress trans people and consider them mentally ill. Wear your leftism with pride, non-judgmentalism against ethnic minorities, women and LGBTQ is a very political statement in a society that systematically oppresses them.
Easiest comics in existence to produce. Just say something we agree with, no need to be funny or clever. People upvote because they agree with the message regardless of whether its any good as a comic (it's not).
Trans women are women, Republicans are ghouls, etc, but these comics feel so lazy.
I mean, yeah, the expectation being subverted is the bigoted parent assumption, which is overdone, but the joke is still funny. And honestly, the fact that we can look at something like this and Immediately assume that the parent isn't bigoted means that overdoing it is making acceptance the norm in media, at least in spaces like these, which is helpful. The more we depict people being accepting of themselves and their loved ones, the better.
It's pizzacake, she gets hate here no matter what she does. Give it a few hours and you'll need a hazmat suit for this comment section.
Yeah, for some reason there's some real moral outrage required specifically for pizzacake. It's not enough to dislike her comic but it seems like they need to vice signal as well.
The truth is lemmy really does have a misogyny problem. The progressive zeitgeist is mostly on economic matters.
Isn't there a Garfield comic somewhere you should be railing against instead?
Downvote and move on. I'm trying to figure out why so many people are actively campaigning against this artist.
She's a woman on the internet, so already a bad start. At some point she had a mental breakdown from all the harassment and threatened dmca or something else (I'm fuzzy on the details) against her harassers. This pissed off a lot of people and the internet never forgives. Whether or not her actions were justified and my opinions on the matter are both beyond the scope of this comment.
So anyone defending pizzacake gets accused of being a white knight. Those exist, sure, but you can also just see the harassment and come to the reasonable conclusion that's not right.
Furthermore, anyone criticizing her gets labeled as a misogynist. This is perfectly understandable, outright misogyny will get you banned so instead they just repeatedly insist on reasonably sounding complaints. It's impossible to tell the difference between someone who's actually a critic vs someone who just hates pizzacake for being a woman with opinions. To keep going, the overwhelming consensus here is that people would rather see shitty napkin drawings over ai "art". Funhole looks like ass, but people (myself included) love it. But for some reason all these people celebrating shitty comics and bad but human made art are silent when it comes to pizzacake, and instead everything she does is "lazy" and "uninspired" and "poorly drawn".
I think that about covers it, more or less.
Because when someone has nothing else going on in their life, lashing out is easy and gives them a sense of superiority.
Go ahead and chuckle at the irony here lmao
Just say something we agree with
Show this to any cultist, see if they agree.
no need to be funny or clever.
Same for you. Stop complaining, enjoy the funny, ignore the rest. People have different tastes.
I get that feeling from 90% of this artist's comics, but this one actually made me chuckle. More importantly, I shared it with my mom and it made her chuckle. She is not as accepting of LGBT+ as one might hope, so this was not a given.
It has all the elements of a joke, most importantly subversion of expectations. I'll give this one a pass. Save your rant for the next comic ;)

The following artists are banned from the community.
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
