Why doesn't Jupiter, the largest planet, not simply eat the others?

Tbh, I feel like calling this "sad" doesn't do a good enough job of refuting the underlying misogynist belief (that a woman's worth is her looks) that the parents have.

Liebot was this vaguely racist Slavic stereotype character that tried to make Phillip (the otter) cry on occasion. This is probably the tamest one.

The little girl is getting kicked out by her parents because she "will never be pretty", which is all a girl is worth according to misogynist belief.

Yeah ok I mean that's literally what's happening. But is there a joke? Or something unexpected, insightful, thoughtful, humorous, something special or of any significance other than a random statement? What's sad about it? Why a robot? Why a liebot? Is he lying?

Tbh I still don't really get it.

It would probably help to read more of the comics since it's a recurring character.

[โ€“] Mrs_deWinter@feddit.org 1 points 3 minutes ago

I see. Thanks

[โ€“] Vespair@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago

Thank you, my thoughts exactly. Tragic is not exactly the same thing as sad.

[โ€“] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 8 points 13 hours ago

This was genuinely fun!

just for the record, we started with Venus, but they kept breaking them, so we switched to Mars.

She's hot, but there's just too much pressure to make it work.

it's a caustic relationship.

Never put your dick in clouds of sulfuric acid.

But.... I really think I can fix her with a little terraforming.

I love how the moon is just super happy for everyone involved.

Not the first time I've been told that, actually!

Aww... They're so sweet.

Is there a good place to see more without logging into something? I found some on threads, but it requires login after a bit; not interested in FB/X. Maybe time to buy a book!
