I mean, to be a bit fair, I think some people are just worried about how Joe and Walky are gonna be hurt by this. I don't think it's entirely anti-queer sentiment, as they probably would've bailed on the strip a long time ago if that was the case.

okay yeah but there's been a weird amount of actual explicit anti-queer sentiment last couple comics, this is not that, that is irrelevant

Maybe I'm simply being naive then, I guess. I confess, I don't usually read the comments for the strips. I just know that I hate seeing characters I'm attached to get hurt, and I have grown quite fond of Joe and it sucks knowing he's about to have his heart broken. I'm happy for Joyrothy fans.

yeah. there's a whole valid discussion about Joe, and I hope he finds happiness, but this thread is about people who really are being homophobic in the comments section. good luck

time for "joe" and "walky" to "go" and "walk" up to each other and kiss i guess

But when will we get two cartoon men kissing?

Every time Ethan and Asher are on-panel!

Very good

(I will say, bi people not being allowed to be in het-appearing relationships is an actual problem irl, like, bi folks with different gender partners really shouldn't be portrayed as "less queer" than ones with same gender ones)

a nefarious plan to make two cartoon women kiss, a thing that real women never do at all ever in the history of the multiverse because they are always just roommates or cousins or something

my favorite part is all the people acting like all the LGBTQ stuff in the comic is new or something. ~<3

I forever love seeing just how many comic artists out here use hetero annoyance as a reason to make comics even gayer!

Examining the gender of every fictional work I brush up against while mumbling "there are no coincidences".

Gay harder Willis, they can't hear you in the nosebleeds!!!

You just need to make more girls smoochin in the background of other strips

like at the end of rise of skywalker

I think what we really need is a 1 month hiatus from anything Joyce/Dorothy related, but they're in the background of each comic making out when they think no one is watching.

people are finding any and every reason to be angry at you because the gays are gaying "wrong" in a comic you write and have been writing for 15 years, as if they own it and you are some intruder. its so funny (derogatory) to watch happen every new strip devolve into petty accusations
