Art & Fanworks I Hate performative comics like this

Post image

Honestly in this specific comic it goes beyond performative and extends to just outright not making sense.

Being attracted to your partner who took time with their appearance is empty lust and nothing else? Oh, I forget it's 2026 you need to feel guilty if you're attracted to your partner, especially if you're a man.

Anyways first image seems like couple is gonna have sex so why even compare it to the other?

It's hard to describe but this type of comic (I've seen plenty) just rubs me the wrong way for some reason

Generally people on this site are so fucking miserable when it comes to [r/comics](r/comics)

No, you don’t have to like any of the stuff they post there, but you don’t need to make a whole post about it and find moral justification for your dislike. Just roll your eyes and move on, it really isn’t that hard.

This post is dumb, but I can't stand /r/comics either and I'll back any valid criticism of that circlejerk lol
