That's actually a pretty good comeback tho....lol

[-] guy@lemmy.world 163 points 2 months ago

The sort of comeback so good you think of it later on and write a comic, wishing you'd said it at the time

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

I highly doubt the situation happened. Their insecurity manifested it and it was output into something that made them feel excused. In reality, no one outside of their own mind has thought or said this to them. At least not since junior school.

Just a bunch...

Someone told a mistruth on the Internet?! Surly this must be a first, we should do something about this post haste

Man, I thought Lemmy was supposed to be better than Reddit. These comments are proving me wrong.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 months ago

Most of the negative comments are from Lemmy.world users, which is the instance that recieves the bulk of the Reddit crowd before the users find a more fitting instance.

Lemmy.world tends to attract people from Reddit that are too ideological to stay, but want the same thing as Reddit without the enshittification, so they go to the largest generalist instance first. Over time, some leave for more specialized instances, like Beehaw, Lemmy.ml, programming.dev, or blahaj.zone, so that leaves .world usually with newer accounts, or people who just want Reddit 2 before it went to shit.

Not saying everyone from .world is bad, of course not, but what drives users to .world over more niche instances is usually coming straight from Reddit.

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

I joined Lemmy.ml because it looked like the largest generalist instance plus apparently ran by Lemmy developers. Here you list it as a specialist one. Well, I couldn't have known at the time. :D

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

It's a bit of both! It's an older instance, but it is focused on FOSS and Privacy. It isn't extremely specialized, of course, but it is not a pure generalist instance either.

[-] danciestlobster@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Wait I am in this comment I left reddit and joined world then wanted to switch to a different one so just joined .ee arbitrarily. Is there a short reference somewhere of how these are all different from each other?

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

Here is a good spot to pick an Instance. You can stay with .ee if you want, but I recommend picking a new instance that fits what you personally prefer! You can also check what instances are federated with which other instances. For example, .world isn't federated with Lemmygrad or Hexbear, but .ml is federated with all 3, so you may wish to change your instance accordingly.

This isn't cringe at all.. 🙄

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 24 points 2 months ago

Something about this feels like it's ten years old. It was a different time.

[-] li10@feddit.uk 23 points 2 months ago

It would maybe pass as not cringe if not for the last panel

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

It's to show playfulness and that the artist doesn't feel THAT strongly, imagine how cold the comic would be without it.

And then consider that women have been raised to be polite and apologetic to the point it is even a habit for most of us. I guess that's why I can't really see it as cringe even if I try.

[-] HatchetHaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 months ago

i dunno, i quite like the last panel

[-] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 48 points 2 months ago

Dont fight girls, I'll pull it off both of you

I've been in so many wholesome communities, I initially thought the first panel was a thinly veiled pickup line.

I feel like these clothes are the prefect match for the body type on the right. There are many clothes that might not fit the person the the right (also many wouldn't fit the person on the left), but the ones in the comics are not these clothes.

"Body type"? Is obesity a body type?

[-] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 57 points 2 months ago

"body type" has always been a general term to express the entire shape, size and proportions of a person, including excess weight and obesity.

When I was obese I couldn't pull off crop tops because of my body size, it was incredibly unflattering, and now that I'm a healthy weight I still can't pull off crop tops because of my body proportions, I have a short torso.

Body type encompasses both scenarios, so it's often thought of as a polite way to tell someone something is unflattering without singling out specific "flaws" in their body.

Even if I were to agree with this rather obvious trolling attempt.

...yes?

"Type" is a word used to categorize things by shared characteristics, in this context, characteristics shared by the human body?

Hey mods... Ever heard of free speech? People can have opinions... Let people decide by upvotes and down votes. Why the unnecessary censoring?

The girl on the right is fucking hot. The comic is for girls that do not look like her but think they do 😂

I think all women are beautiful but if you can't live up to these strict standards, it's not the end of the world.

Can any ladies comment, are girls ever actually this bitchy to each other? This has to be a bit of hyperbole right?

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

Not a woman, but a some teenager girls I met in high school were absolutely vicious.

I would have been that boyfriend. I always saw women like the right as more attractive and sexual than women like the left. It would infuriate a couple of my friends because I was a pretty boy who had the attention of women they found more appropriate, but I could never get them to understand that those women were like background extras to me in dating terms. It's not even something I willfully do, it just feels natural and correct to want a bbw vixen.
