to be fair: we're LITERALLY laughing at casual homophobia and someone who is unfamiliar with extra fabulous comics ally-ship could only possibly see distasteful humor without this context.
i think that it's a bit like the recent gen z torch-and-pitchfork response to "shirley q liquor". like rupaul suggested: they're an ally and their shit is genuinely funny and that helps us heal by laughing at some of our biggest pervasive problems/divisions as a community; i think that something like that this is going to matter A LOT in the near future since everyone else is hellbent on lol-ing at all the leopards-at-my-face-ees. trump's leopards are going to eat all of our faces if we don't start helping each other instead of pointing and laughing with the schadenfreude strategy of mass coping from the election results.
also: most leftists have varying degrees of ignorance of popular culture imo and the genz'ers of tiktok were recently likewise similarly ignorant of gay popular culture from the 1990's and tried to torch-and-pitchfork shirley-q for what they perceived as distasteful humor until rupaul weighed in on the discourse and i think that we're having a mini-version of that here.
This is important context, and you make excellent points
It honestly completely slipped my mind that God has an issue with guys putting dicks in their butts, and I assumed you must be referring to a comic I hadn't seen/couldn't remember. Is that the intended joke in this comic??
Regardless, I doubt Dave cares about that aspect- I think Dave just doesn't like jokes about butts poops and farts.
Edit: (just to be clear, I am queer and not religious)
same here.
butts, poop, and farts jokes is literally THE DEFINITION of im-14-and-this-is-funny, isn't it? lol
I feel like that's more so <10yo kind of humour, but I doubt a kid that age would even understand this comic
i agree: i got a dm from my gen alpha niece the other day asking me to explain why giving tia julia's friend money isn't going to help them get into the country before trump takes over and to reaffirm that i'm still going to help like i promised her i would, but not in the way that they asked me to.
i think that it depends on the person's circumstances and that the material conditions effect the way people act in relation to society.
i also think that societal progress also includes faster maturity and this is another mini-version manifested here with my 9 year old grand-niece. (assuming grand-niece is a thing a thing in english).
