Critical Miss: LESBIANS

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Wow I'm really slow today, took me a while to get it.

Good one, well played.

 

[Yvl9921]

Oh, DAMMIT. Took me a while to get that.

 

[freaper]

Still waiting for people to explain what joke was made here...

 

[Macgyvercas]

Oi! I was promised lesbians! Now deliver, damnit!

*slams fist


But yeah, if there's a joke, I don't get it.

Is that a monitor in the second pannel? Is the boss so evil that she keeps a security camera pointed upon each of her overworked peons?

 

[Cephei Mordred]

Hambeast?

What is it with people insulting Stout with things that don't make sense given her character design? She's been called titless, but she's clearly drawn with an average bust. Now she's being called fat when she's a little bit scrawny if anything.

It's especially weird since lately they've clearly started trying to use Erin as sex appeal.

It's pretty simple, actually: When women want to bully other women, they will often engage in verbal and emotional abuse, trying to make them feel like they don't measure up to the alledged platonic ideal of womanhood. In this case, Sharon is trying to give Erin body image issues, or else trying to play off ones that Erin might already have.

On an unrelated note: needs more Penny.

Was it me or were the characters in this strip ACTUALLY cuter?... or was that the point... DAMN YOU SUBTLETY!!!

 

[Mr. 47]

Am I the only one who clicked on this faster then normal..?

"9 tips on how to look good eating dick"

My sentiments exactly about those fucking magazines.

 

[ZeroAE]

I didnt get the joke....

And yes, I admittedly saw "Lesbians" and clicked. It was like an impulse reaction. If you want someone to read something, title it "Lesbian" and no matter what it's about, they'll read it.

Someone, please explain in clear, concise language for dummies.

Got it?

Oh.

Oh!

I guess I got it subconsciously and didn't realize it...

Hence the answer to the second question..."When I do it, it's satire".

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

That came out of nowhere...

Not sure if it is parody of randomly making your characters lesbians to increase traffic (and fan art) or playing it straight unironically.

 

[Charli]

Oh bravo sir /applause

they are not lesbians, he is parodying all the misleading article titles that the escapist uses....i think.

 

[Lucane]

I spotted a much subtler dick joke in the last panel. Can anyone else?

Also, I found this strip highly amusing.

Oh did you mean on the poster? Yeah I had to enlarge a few times but I couldn't read the bottom right one clearly.

Spoiler

Vogue

1:We ask Jason Statham if he will marry you and give you his money

2:How to look good eatin dick

3:I'm not sure what tags on Vogue Magazine are supposed to be about.

4:???

 

[Something Amyss]

Aye, I guessed, was just unsure with the whole internet text vs. tone of message thing. Also, cheers for a new word

It's also not like I should expect everyone to know my views, either. I've commented a few times, but I ignored the spiders one, so I didn't comment there. And anyway, it's not a given someone will notice the trend even if they've read every thread I've commented in.

Just make sure you spell it right. It's facetious. I screwed up the first time (and only noticed reading your quote....LOL)

 

[Bloodstain]

Oh hi, Escapist [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/features/9024-The-Accidental-Lesbian].
Yup.
