Comic Strips

Okay here's my pirate joke.

A ship is sailing the high seas when the crows nest guy calls down, "Pirate ship ahoy!" The captain tells the cabin boy, "Fetch my reddest jacket!" The boy brings the reddest jacket he can find and the captain puts it on. They engage in battle and sink the pirate ship. The boy asks, "Cap'n, why did you call for your red jacket?" The captain says, "So that if I should be wounded in battle the crew would not notice the blood and lose their fighting spirit."

Next day the crows nest calls down, "Twenty pirate ships ahoy!" The captain tells the cabin boy, "Fetch by brownest pants!"

That is a sail...

Do they also pronounce "human" as "hugh mon?"

If so, that's a Ferenghi ship.

Not as bad as the ones that call women femoids.

female as an adjective for clarification (like "oh you're looking for that female doctor over there") is ok, female as a noun is just weird

Uterus having creatures

Squishy Chested Humans

Temperamental Beings

Confusing Loud Wind Atronach

Ever Bleeding Never Dying

Human human Grower

I wonder if the joke would work better if it actually was a black background. This might also keep the 'its a sail' gang happier.

These very same people would have no problem calling women 'people that birth'.

Otoh, some women use this while referring to other women, e.g. "us females need to stick together!" - in a totally positive and inclusive manner (or what looks like that, from me on the outside - i.e. not using language in such manner myself, for either men or women).

So maybe instead of a red flag it's more like an orange one? VERY noteworthy, but not enough on its own to justify cutting off contact with someone, whereas for an actual red flag you would... right?
