Some Ménage à 3 (context for the weak)

[philippos42]

Sandra's work buddy and her ex show up at her apartment. They pass the time talking about mutual friends.

Where is Sandra?



Yeah, she doesn't know either.

Didi's actually there because she and Sandra tried to be bi-curious together and in there embarrassment at their spectacular failure, Sandra ran out before Didi remembered it was Sandra's apartment to begin with.

I know, I know "context is for the weak" and all, but between that and the fact that the very tanned girl Sandra's with is a she-male she walked in on her ex-boyfriend boning, I figured even context would still be "wtf" enough.

[darkknightjrk]

I remember the bicurious part, but how did she get on a desert island?

[generator_rex]

She has no clue. she got drunk after running out of her apartment and woke up naked with a Brazilian Transexual Supermodel.

[darkknightjrk]

Oh, okay--I thought I missed some important strip or something.

[nezchan]

Am I behind the times, or did "she-male" stop being an EXTREMELY questionable term from an LGBT point of view?

[laddical]

I have no idea; it's a completely unloaded term for me. If it offends, I apologize.

[ardat_lili]

It's considered pretty offensive in trans community, actually--it's mostly used only in (fairly exploitative) porn or with bitter irony. Outside of those contexts, it's widely considered a nasty slur.

[notactuallyauser]

This.

[laddical]

I honestly did not know. I apologize again.

[ardat_lili]

Cheers, then. We all make mistakes.

[nezchan]

Accepted.

Just so you know for the future, to trans people this is about as loaded as a land mine, and about as pleasant. You're fortunate that you've never had to think about it until now, so if you start avoiding (as I assume you avoid other sexual or racial slurs) it you should be fine.

Sometimes this comic frustrates me, there's endless of cockblock for poor Gary and a lot of will they and won't they stuff for Sandra and Didi (although the way it ended was reasonable in a way).

Oh and Zee is a horrible character, horrible character.

[generator_rex]

She really is.

[tsunamiwombat]

yeah it pretty much just an exscuse to beat up on Gary, even if he is kind of a dick sometimes and has it coming, i'm sure frustration plays into it.

"Zee is a horrible character, horrible character"

Motto. The comic would be so much better without her.

[drexer]

Meh I don't know; certainly some things she does are very, very dickish but she keeps the chaos moving towards new directions and I do feel that we are supposed to see some slow but deliberate character built upon her personality.

I certainly do feel some apprehension about her character but considering the other negative reactions one normally sees directed towards Zee keeps putting me off of wanting to get rid of her completely.

[janegray]

I used to dislike Zee, but she has really grown on me since she started sincerely trying to help Gary. She felt genuinely sorry and remorseful when she accidentally (thought she) broke his action figure and she tried her best to fix it, and she refused to get laid with a beautiful woman for his sake. I think, despite her flaws, she has developed into a good and caring friend.

[proteus_lives]

I like this comic. It's a goofy anime-riff.
