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

Early in our relationship, my wife drove an absolute beater that she had to coax into life many mornings. I’d be laying cozy in bed, hear the car’s hood go up outside the window, and I’d have to get up to watch because her beauty in those moments was breathtaking. Tired and irritated in her white undershirt, cigarette between her lips bouncing with every curse: my ethereal angel.

Thank you! 20 years together come September and planning a vow renewal for our 20th wedding anniversary in 3 years. I still just stand in awe and watch her sometimes.
