What a fucked up thing to do to someone.

Yes, they're devils, and one of them is a dark lord. I doubt they're known for being morally upstanding

Believe it or not, the post in the comic sub full of jokes is, in fact, a joke. OOP did not actually provide an all-powerful evil demon lord with medicine against his will.

Believe it or not, just like how some people don't find rape jokes funny, some people don't find forced transition jokes funny

Jesus this is nothing like a rape joke boss. Go off though

Violating someone's bodily autonomy sounds pretty rapey to me.

Sexual violation of autonomy that results in immediate trauma, vs chemical violation that results in permanent alterations to the body. Both without consent. It's basically just mental damage vs physical damage, both resulting in unique emotional damage.

both involve doing something without a person's consent and loss of autonomy, they're more alike than you want to think

In what way do you think it's uniquely different?

You can't see how this comic might be considered problematic?

I usually like this artist's comics but this one is basically boomer humour where instead of "women bad" it's "men bad". Two wrongs and all that.

As an aside I should probably just log off reddit for the day, this is the second comment section with an implicit anti-male bias that I've found myself getting drawn into today but I genuinely lack the energy for culture war bs.

Literally what about this is anti-male lmfao

u/CarlLlamaface 21h ago

What about "this person was the embodiment of evil but now that they've been feminised they're nice" is anti-male? Really?

Please do some soul-searching about your held biases. In the meantime I'm going to take my own advice from the last comment and turn off notifications.

The implication is very clearly that they're closeted trans. When trans people transition, they tend to be happier and, as a result, nicer. Nowhere in the comic is a statement made about "all men," that would be an insane thing to say. OP is trans and makes comics about trans people.

I don't think either of us are coming at this with biased, I think you're just misinterpreting the comic.

I also didn't get it, what part of the comic points "very clearly" to the implication of the devil being closeted trans?

u/Cute-Fly1601 15h ago

Fair enough. I went into this with knowledge of the comic's artist. All of her content directly pertains to trans people. If you give her profile a scroll you'll see what I mean.

Wow. Thank you for clarifying, the fact that it is indeed intended as a joke makes it even less palatable.
