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

[-] guy@lemmy.world 169 points 10 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

This isn't cringe at all.. 🙄

[-] li10@feddit.uk 38 points 10 months ago

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

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 44 points 10 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 25 points 10 months ago

i dunno, i quite like the last panel

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 26 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 117 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 25 points 10 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 9 points 10 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

"Body type"? Is obesity a body type?

[-] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 59 points 10 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.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

Until its only used for this because our society sucks and just becomes a euphemism, because we can't have nice things.

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?

I thought the snowflakes stayed on reddit, but apparently me saying "Copium in comic" is too offensive for moderators.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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

Let me guess, as an average lemmy user the chances are pretty high you are a white male in early adulthood, probably living off a very concerning diet but not gaining weight because of some genetical inability to build up fat.

Like, thats me, but I am aware of it. People can get fat if they eat as much as I do, which is not even much. Get a hold of your privileges dude.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.ml 34 points 10 months ago

People can get fat if they eat as much as I do

Then its up to those people to fucking get out of their asses and exercise. It's one thing to be fat because of a health issue like hypothyroidism, and a whole different thing to choose being fat. In either case, you can't really demand people to think an unhealthy, droopy and blobby body is beautiful, all you can ask is for people to not be rude about it.

Here's a very apt comparison: I suffer from hyperhidrosis, a condition which makes me sweat 100% of the time regarless of temperature. Which do you think more reasonable: that I wear deodorant, refresh myself and shower often; or that I demand people to live with and enjoy my body odour?

I'm actually a 31 year old female living together with my bf and cat. I'm going to the gym about 2 to 3 times a week since a few months. My bmi at this moment is 24.1 which is still quite high but I'm getting there.

All I did was say fat. If that offended you, go to the gym.

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 months ago

BMI is kinda bogus, it doean't take into account muscle vs fat. At peak working out with small waist, but visible muscle mass my chart BMI was Obese

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.

[-] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 23 points 10 months ago

Of course people have different taste, nothing weird or unusual about that.

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

If you have a comeback this weak in the comic YOU drew, I don't want to imagine the amount of cringe your friends felt around you

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 19 points 10 months ago

That comeback makes the right one 500 times more attractive js

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.

Medically obese moment

[-] yokonzo@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

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 11 points 10 months ago

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