Shrimps

Those curtains are horrible, regardless of your gender. Source: I'm male (for now, at least)
- Shrimp or questioning?
- Yeah I mean, you gotta be something special to think light green polka dots on a medium green background is a good look for a curtain.
- "Shabby chic"
- I feel like this would be funny if the text in the top left corner just wasnt there. Like the shrimp just randomly transforms into an arch user for no reason
  
  Different joke. This one is funny because trans women have a tendency to be arch users.
  Except trans lesbians, which go for debian (can confirm am debian user)
- ~~Hanna Montana OS~~ Universal Blue
- Actually funnier.
- I liked it
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.
- the funniest thing would've been to have 5 textless panels of a shrimp just sitting there
  
  Honestly that would've been great lol
  
  We need a comedy necromancy community
- 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
- It is. And yet, it just harvests upvotes. I don't get it.
- 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
  
  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.
  
  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
  
  Then the curtains should have changed color on the last panel if that thought ever even took a poo in the author's head
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.
- Fortunately for us, the intent of the art has little to do with how it's perceived
  
  "Death of the author" serves us all again.
- I thought that too. But the shrimp saved this story.
- Boomer humour it's still fun
How do I know he didn't just become gay?
- You can’t be sea-rious.
~~I wish I was a shrimp...~~
~~still cis tho~~
I would have put JK Rowling peeking in
- She's much too crabby.
Shrimp is bugs
- Sand-sational.
"I've suddenly received the urge to be put on a Barbie."

Oh boy (or whatever), OP, have you walked into the wrong neighborhood. Half of the userbase is trans, 99% are feminist. I'm not entirely sure how you got this 80% upvote ratio.
anyways, get the f out with your boomer jokes.
- What a comm-ocean.
- It's 85% now and it's probably because it's just a fucking funny drawing of a shrimp drinking tea and speaking silly stuff... (it may also be because being trans or feminist has nothing to do with humor, stop pandering)
  
  All these MFers trying to krill my vibe.
