Used to have a trainer who'd shoot with his eyes closed at tournaments lol.
My current trainer frequently makes us shoot with closed eyes too, though when we do it's not about hitting a specific target but getting a better feel for our body and movements, fixing smaller things that sight would distract us from. Usually at a very short distance, blank bow. It's really useful even if "shooting blind" sounds silly at first :]
That’s what I thought. But then I saw that the background colors were the colors of the trans flag and that she doesn’t seem to be sad in the last image.
This legit happened to meet this past summer. I was at a shopping mall to buy my first ever dress and my partner and I ate lunch before we went shopping. The waitress came over to us and asked "could I get you ladies a drink to start with?" And it made me really happy.
I was going to point out that they accidentally took the same webcomic name as Critical Miss on The Escapist, but I looked it up and apparently the OG Critical Miss comic got taken down for some reason??
Your perception of reality is distorted if you don’t see the thousands of trans people who pass on a regular basis, or the cis women who look “ugly” or “masculine” but are still women all the same
you can make a candle if u don't like this one :P (A candle is an antimeme made from another antimeme if you weren't aware, a lot of people aren't aware)
Oh, lol, I always thought people made these on Ibis paint (free art program on phone) cuz that's what I used to make mine and it rlly has everything you'd need to make these cuz it's generally comics
It's removing the punchline/funny part (which is the exaggerating crying tears shooting out like a fire hydrant), it's not supposed to be funny necessarily but it's not erasing anything either
i'm trans and it feels like erasure to me. i'm not the arbiter of reality and neither are you (let me know if you are tho), and my perspective is as valid as yours.
Im trans aswell but this objectively doesnt fall under the term of erasure. Infact this is a normalisation of transness. I WISH to become so secure in my skin being called my preferred pronoun doesnt make me cry and offer my life to the person who called me the way i want to be called, it should be NORMAL its the bare minimum afterall. I could even argue none of us react in the way depicted in the comic, we act normal from outside and thats whats shown in the antimeme.
Trans erasure is when people try erasing trans people from history, its a term used when people start f.e. defacing statues or putting a different author on texts just because the real one happens to be trans, someone taking out the punchline out of a comic is not trans erasure.
If we let too many words suffer thru generalisation no one will take us seriously anymore when we use them appropriately
Well, to be fair though, I've also seen lots of antimemes removing barf, because that was part of the punchline. I think they keep removing the trans part because being trans was the punchline, and they wanted to use a trans comic. I think they just picked comics they liked, not comics they wanted to destroy the message of.
you can still interpret the edit as a trans comic cause the characters’ brain didn’t even register “miss” being said to her because of the constant misgendering hence why the cashier needs to repeat it twice
I feel like you’re being downvoted too harshly, there were definitely ways to keep this comic trans and lose the ‘punchline’. If OP didn’t have bad intentions it’s fine but it’s easy to see why it would seem that way
Honestly, you have a point for this one, as the artist likely drew this to express joy at being called miss, and not because being trans or references to trans imagery was a punchline here.
I’m sorry you feel erased, but it pisses off the transphobes here too. So that’s cool
The community has decided that this IS an antimeme!

My archery trainer telling me if I hit the target or not (I'm practicing shooting while blindfolded):

It doesn't sound silly to me. It sounds pretty badass

Honestly wholesome if true
Good news
You are now recognized as a trans woman throughout
Oh, I didn't get it until you made this.
she meee :3
congratulations! :D
i think u missed the point Lol
I’m pretty sure that is the point
I am 101% sure that’s the point
I'm 102% sure that's the point
i’m 100% sure that is the point (over 100 is mathematically impossible)
I'm 109% sure math can suck it
I'm 104% sure you haven't seen The Good Place
i actually have, lmao.
not if it is a modifier
I'm 101% sure that percent is just x/100 and there's no one stopping you from going above it
with a 2% margin of error
This artist makes trans comics, that is definitely the point
MISSed the point?
Omg is a new meme cooking up, miss?
Make no misstake, I believe it is
Loss but Miss
| | || || ||=
What do you think the point is, if not that?
…so what exactly do you think the point is, then
Please sir, enlighten us, what is the point then?
that is exactly what the point is, what are you talking about
you… realize you’re replying to the OP?
OP ≠ author
it does when they authored the anti-meme that’s the whole context lmao what
i don't get it
is she trans?
She happy she passed as a women
yes
Teenagers hearing sir , mam/miss n'all teenagers happy
In my twenties but I still don't like it 😅
Just feels weird. But I'm glad if it's ever affirmation for some trans folk.
Or (depending on the person)
Am I that old? Unhappy
Ah I thought "miss" here meant perceived as no longer a young lady and she was sad about it
Like how kids call you uncle at one point and it hurts right in the back pain
That’s what I thought. But then I saw that the background colors were the colors of the trans flag and that she doesn’t seem to be sad in the last image.
Or maybe she’s both trans and old
This legit happened to meet this past summer. I was at a shopping mall to buy my first ever dress and my partner and I ate lunch before we went shopping. The waitress came over to us and asked "could I get you ladies a drink to start with?" And it made me really happy.
Hdjdiend I thought it was about grocery prices😭
I was going to point out that they accidentally took the same webcomic name as Critical Miss on The Escapist, but I looked it up and apparently the OG Critical Miss comic got taken down for some reason??
I think that's just the name of this comic specifically, not this artist's whole series of comics.

Nope
You "Critical Miss"ed the title
I wish there was a way to juice the antis in this one so it could still be a trans comic. The orange is super wholesome
you can make a candle if u don't like this one :P (A candle is an antimeme made from another antimeme if you weren't aware, a lot of people aren't aware)
My image editing skills aren't the greatest and tbh I don't even know if I have GIMP installed on my desktop to try it
Shhhhh, that don't matterrrrr, make iiiiit
Also what's GIMP?
It's like Photoshop but doesn't cost an arm and a leg and a left kidney and half a liver. In fact it doesn't cost anything at all.
Oh, lol, I always thought people made these on Ibis paint (free art program on phone) cuz that's what I used to make mine and it rlly has everything you'd need to make these cuz it's generally comics
Krita is better IMO but that's just personal preference
Literally nobody will get the reference but

Why are there so many antimemes Un-transing trans comics? It’s not funny. It feels like erasure.
It's removing the punchline/funny part (which is the exaggerating crying tears shooting out like a fire hydrant), it's not supposed to be funny necessarily but it's not erasing anything either
Yeah...no...it doesnt 💀
i'm trans and it feels like erasure to me. i'm not the arbiter of reality and neither are you (let me know if you are tho), and my perspective is as valid as yours.

Bruh I'm trans and this antimeme was funny lmao
It removed dam joke just like this sub intended to do
And provided origami so everyone can still see what it was about
I have seen way more transing unrelated comics. Seems like the sub just likes trans comics.
Are you sure you’re not mixing up BHJ and anti meme?
Tf is bhj? Backwards high jump?
r/bonehurtingjuice, it’s like antimemr but comic becomes absurd
Well, to be fair though, I've also seen lots of antimemes removing barf, because that was part of the punchline. I think they keep removing the trans part because being trans was the punchline, and they wanted to use a trans comic. I think they just picked comics they liked, not comics they wanted to destroy the message of.
Edit: auto correct I hate you (fixed it)
the punchline here is straight up being trans
you can still interpret the edit as a trans comic cause the characters’ brain didn’t even register “miss” being said to her because of the constant misgendering hence why the cashier needs to repeat it twice
I feel like you’re being downvoted too harshly, there were definitely ways to keep this comic trans and lose the ‘punchline’. If OP didn’t have bad intentions it’s fine but it’s easy to see why it would seem that way
Sad girl has feelings 😔 girl is sad and alone 😔 people on the internet are dunking on her opinion 😔
Honestly, you have a point for this one, as the artist likely drew this to express joy at being called miss, and not because being trans or references to trans imagery was a punchline here.
I’m sorry you feel erased, but it pisses off the transphobes here too. So that’s cool
That one friend that's too woke
Hi, trans person here. You're exagerating and not every interaction is a threat, go to therapy. 👍
Calm tf down why the hostility 💀
Thought-terminating cliche
[removed]
Lol, wdym schizo?
They dont think trans people exist
