Why doesn’t the writer of the comic just have him put on a dress and play with a Barbie? Since that’s basically what the joke is. Maybe it’s just me but this one’s fuckin dumb.
Some times dumb things can still be funny.
True, humor is subjective and I guess I just personally didn’t find it in this one
Women have more ability to perceive colors due to physical differences. Link
Edit: guys the image is to give you an idea of what it’s like. Read the article. There is an actual observed, measurable statistically significant difference in color perception.
That’s just saying colorblindness is more common in men, and tetrachromacy is more common in (maybe exclusive to?) women. It’s still really rare tho (estimated 2-3% in that link)
speaking of tetrachromacy, listen to the Polygondwanaland album by King Gizzard And The Lizzard Wizard
Exclusive to women, as it’s a rare mutation that requires two X chromosomes.
There could be a rare, rare case of someone with XXY chromosomes also getting it, but that would be two very rare human conditions hitting at once.
SEE WHAT I CAN’T SEE
This is utter bollocks. The implication here is that I shouldn’t physically be able to tell the difference between any of the colours in each group
I don’t think anyone without color blindness would say any two colors on that drawing are the same color.
Then the curtains should have changed color on the last panel if that thought ever even took a poo in the author’s head
Show, don’t tell. The author also broke that rule in Panel 5 with “sex change
occurssounds” written off to the side. We see the 𝓶𝓪𝓰𝓲𝓬 𝓫𝓾𝓫𝓫𝓵𝓮. Clearly, that means the sex change occurred in the context of the setup. We get it, dude.
Whenever I see that graphic I have to think about all the male painters who apparently can’t tell Phthalo blue from Prussian or Ultramarine
It is. And yet, it just harvests upvotes. I don’t get it.
Unfortunately, I suspect the creators intent is to not normalize transgender in nature, but simple to get a cheap laugh at the expense of traditional gender roles.
I thought that too. But the shrimp saved this story.
I would have put JK Rowling peeking in
She’s much too crabby.
“I’ve suddenly received the urge to be put on a Barbie.”
