If this is a joke, it is funny.

If this is not a joke, it is maybe even funnier.

In the left hand side image why does it look like his head is on backwards while still facing forwards

Also taint

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Because his neck looks more like a trapezius (or rather, the neck isn't really drawn, so we only get the silhouette of the trapezius behind it).

actually I don't know if there's masculine right wing chud gays who are into mpreg

It's a near certainty that this exists

Just two dudes, real tough guys, banging each other, no bottoms allowed. Both men must also be loudly proclaiming “Get pregnant!” Over and over, in the most deep guttural voices they can muster.

dongs so long and floppy they can both be tops simultaneously

Butt for the fellas

Dudes rock, I think? Maybe? edgeworth-shrug

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The post he's retweeting is obviously ironic, so I think yes

[–] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I didn't find that obvious. Hypermasculine gay men have always been a thing and gay men who fetishize hypermasculinity even moreso, gay fascists have been around since before Hitlerism and are unfortunately way too real nowadays. And there is a sizeable MPREG fandom as well. Yes, the intersection between all three is a fairly small Venn diagramm overlap, a lot of people would make this post ironically, but there's 4chan Ernst Röhms and omegaverse tradwifes that would post this sincerely.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

I think "trad values" "mpreg" is a pretty solid tell that the more likely explanation is irony even if you can't 100% rule out him being an extraordinarily brainwormed neopagan fascist.

[–] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

both can get pregnant

Issa joke

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's what I was hoping but it's getting harder for me to tell these days

[–] Castor_Troy@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

I've read volumes 1-13 (in English). The author is clearly a liberal. So, it could go either way as far as I know.

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

all 4 characters portrayed in the actual image are from the same work done by this author so it is definitely ironic

[–] grouchy@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

He also wrote Planetes, which was at least socially progressive -- prominent female black character, not caricatured either -- though I don't remember the rest of the politics well (it's been holy shit more than twenty years since I read it and iirc the anime did its own thing with the terrorist plot). I was a fan long before Vinland Saga took off and he did always give me the impression he was left adjacent but that was also before I became a commie, lol

i spat my coffee

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah we need Askeladd x Snake Yaoi

[–] Arahnya@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

might as well be YURI

yes, yuri yaoi / yaoi yuri rise up!!

[–] abc@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago
[–] SmokinStalin@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Askeladd with a gun would be a menace. I love it.

[–] DogThatWentGorp@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

I'm pretty sure this is what Hideo Kojima thinks about things but unironically.

[–] notmyoldaccount@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah brother. I need more Tom of Finland muscle hunks in my content. Too many twinky anime boys. Legolas nudes out, Gimli nudes in

[–] Moidialectica@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

good author

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mpreg is a beautiful thing, I'm sorry you can't see that.

[–] bold_omi@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

I don't care about MPREG, although it's unrealistic. The A/B/O and (probably jokingly) anti-leftist things are weird.

I have no issue with gay love. I myself am a gay man.

[–] corvidenjoyer@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You just can't handle real masculinity.

they-were-comrades

[–] bold_omi@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

I just don't like the A/B/O and weird toxic masculinity thing going on. I'm all for gay partnerships, as a gay dude.

i was just thinking about whether engels was a twink earlier today 🤔

[–] bold_omi@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

I know. I'm a gay man. I still think the image is weird.
