Those curtains are horrible, regardless of your gender. Source: I’m male (for now, at least)
Shrimp or questioning?
“Shabby chic”
Yeah I mean, you gotta be something special to think light green polka dots on a medium green background is a good look for a curtain.
How do I know he didn’t just become gay?
You can’t be sea-rious.
I feel like this would be funny if the text in the top left corner just wasnt there. Like the shrimp just randomly transforms into an arch user for no reason
Different joke. This one is funny because trans women have a tendency to be arch users.
Except trans lesbians, which go for debian (can confirm am debian user)
Hanna Montana OS
Actually funnier.
“I’ve suddenly received the urge to be put on a Barbie.”
I wish I was a shrimp…still cis thoI would have put JK Rowling peeking in
She’s much too crabby.
Unfortunately, I suspect the creators intent is to not normalize transgender in nature, but simple to get a cheap laugh at the expense of traditional gender roles.
Boomer humour it’s still fun
I thought that too. But the shrimp saved this story.
Fortunately for us, the intent of the art has little to do with how it’s perceived
“Death of the author” serves us all again.
Why doesn’t the writer of the comic just have him put on a dress and play with a Barbie? Since that’s basically what the joke is. Maybe it’s just me but this one’s fuckin dumb.
Some times dumb things can still be funny.
True, humor is subjective and I guess I just personally didn’t find it in this one
Women have more ability to perceive colors due to physical differences. Link
Whenever I see that graphic I have to think about all the male painters who apparently can’t tell Phthalo blue from Prussian or Ultramarine
Then the curtains should have changed color on the last panel if that thought ever even took a poo in the author’s head
Show, don’t tell. The author also broke that rule in Panel 5 with “sex change occurs” written off to the side. We see the 𝓶𝓪𝓰𝓲𝓬 𝓫𝓾𝓫𝓫𝓵𝓮. Clearly, that means the sex change occurred in the context of the setup. We get it, dude.
That’s just saying colorblindness is more common in men, and tetrachromacy is more common in (maybe exclusive to?) women. It’s still really rare tho (estimated 2-3% in that link)
speaking of tetrachromacy, listen to the Polygondwanaland album by King Gizzard And The Lizzard Wizard
Exclusive to women, as it’s a rare mutation that requires two X chromosomes.
There could be a rare, rare case of someone with XXY chromosomes also getting it, but that would be two very rare human conditions hitting at once.
XXY males are around 0.2% of males, so about 7 million people, and tetrachromacy is anywhere from 15 to 50% of women, so we would expect 1 to 4 million tetrachromat XXY males
The 15-50% is apprently women who have some sensitivity to different color bands, but not full terrachromacy. That condition has only been identified once according to wikipedia. Id expect in men with XXY chromosomes, for it to still be stunningly rare, if even present at all.
Its fully possible that the above sum is the number of men with some enhanced color depth, but even then in a population of 4 billion, 1-4 million is a very small number.
I have this, I am pretty sure. I had a job reviewing aerial imagery and in my first week I found camera defects in some new imagery we got in, that apparently no one else saw for years, passed through dozens of eyes. It was extremely obvious to me. Needless to say, they kept me and put me on the experimental team. 😅 I have always been really good with colours.
SEE WHAT I CAN’T SEE
This is utter bollocks. The implication here is that I shouldn’t physically be able to tell the difference between any of the colours in each group
this is utter bollocks
Well that settles it then. All the studies and experts weighing in are wrong. What are your sources?
Semi pro chiming in here: the infographic took an idea and ran the wrong way with it. Women are more sensitive to color, but it has to do with the context. They pick up more subtle colors without direct comparison. Its not that men can’t see the difference between lavender and piriwinkle when they’re next to each other, they’re just more likely to think their the same color if viewed sepparately.
It’s also worth noting that around age 35, both sexes lenses have yellowed enough that there’s no notable difference.
I don’t think anyone without color blindness would say any two colors on that drawing are the same color.
It is. And yet, it just harvests upvotes. I don’t get it.
the funniest thing would’ve been to have 5 textless panels of a shrimp just sitting there
Honestly that would’ve been great lol
We need a comedy necromancy community
But then they couldn’t communicate the sexism in their heart as effectively
Boomer humor
I liked it
Then you like boomer humor that centers on making fun of gender roles it reinforces. Have at it.
Meh, I don’t agree with these gender stereotypes, but they’re all something we can relate to and find silly.
In 2024 the number of people who can relate to it is actually a lot smaller than you think. It’s a very 1990 joke.
I’m not saying you’re wrong about stereotypes, but I am saying you’re terminally online if you truly believe that it’s a small group.
Smaller
Relative statement. Didn’t say small.
Just because everyone will get the joke doesn’t mean they relate to it or like it. In case you haven’t realized, gender rules are a little more unders scrutiny these days. Jokes reinforcing them aren’t going to be as popular.
I don’t appreciate the “terminally online” line. That dig was uncalled for.
If you wanna mince words, fight a dictionary.
so it’s not a boomer joke, but instead a millennial joke.
No because millennials weren’t published cartoonists in 1990 nor were they the intended audience.
i used to read the funny pages when i was like 5 back in the 90s, so whether I was the intended audience or not, that kind of humor still got to me.
That is humour shaming!
Yes, it is. Boomer humor is typically sexist “women amirite” nonsense.
Boomer humour aside how someone can be an adult and not be tired of this kind of joke just from a repetition POV is beyond me.
Preach. It’s so trite
You don’t think women generally give more attention the appearance of curtains, walls, and furnitures?
Gender roles exist.
Comics pointing out “lol girls notice curtains” in 2024 are about 34 years too late and offer no insight or value. They’re not even funny. It’s stale and eye roll inducing.
This is “WOMEN BE SHOPPIN” dross.
Oh boy (or whatever), OP, have you walked into the wrong neighborhood. Half of the userbase is trans, 99% are feminist. I’m not entirely sure how you got this 80% upvote ratio.
anyways, get the f out with your boomer jokes.
What a comm-ocean.
It’s 85% now and it’s probably because it’s just a fucking funny drawing of a shrimp drinking tea and speaking silly stuff… (it may also be because being trans or feminist has nothing to do with humor, stop pandering)
All these MFers trying to krill my vibe.
Oh wow, you’re riding the wave here.
Sometimes you just got to seas the moment.
Shrimp is bugs
Sand-sational.
