Eh being talked to like this by a stranger is never anyone’s favorite. When you’re younger, it can be jarring and uncomfortable. Hell, its still uncomfortable even when you’ve gotten “used” to it
This literally happened to me on my first day of university when I was in my 20s except he said "nice tits". There was nobody around and I was already extremely nervous and it fkn sucked. I was wearing a thick sweater and jeans, before anyone says I was wearing something provocative.
It doesn't matter because they both have the same intention behind them. If anything, the person trying to hide their intentions would likely be more offended if you told them off
The original comic doesn't work because the punch line is completely inappropriate for the "offense", when they could've used any number of examples that actually fit. The artist kills his own point.
I used an exaggerated example because if you're reacting strongly enough to want to go back and stab the guy after he leaves then you need an appropriately large offense. If you don't use a bad enough offense, the reaction just looks over the top and stupid (particularly when the character is depicted as an ugly fish in a purse).
I get that he changed it from something about sexual harassment to simply derogatory terms, but that doesn't make the new comic discriminatory when he literally made a feminist meme. Sure it would be more representative for it to be casual sexual harassment but random insults also happen from idiotic strangers...And the original missed the mark
I don’t know, isn’t trying to make the threat of violence “make sense” by having the catcaller say something “actually offensive” actually get rid of the joke?
Displays of misogyny are often less subtle than "get back in the kitchen bitch". The statement made by the original where he very insincerely calls her "beautiful" and asks for her number is rooted in feelings of entitlement to women's bodies, especially with how he stares at her in all panels in which he appears.
It's textbook catcalling. Even without the feminist analysis, it should be incredibly obvious.
I came out of college a better person, morally, intellectually, and productively than I was when I went in. I'm sad for you that you were unable to do the same.
I find it a tired topic by nowadays. We've had "omg I can't handle a single second of social interaction without screaming" as a comic joke for over 5 years now.
You'd think in all those 5 years of complaining they would've fixed that!

What is the second panel said “wanna buy some knives”
That'd be a good bhj
Isnt that the antisemitic fish?
Context?
Damn I can't find the comic it seems like they erased it from the internet luckily someone uploaded a video where they have the comic.

Like I kinda get the message the comic tries to portray but it makes the Blobby fish look antisemitic.
here is the comic
Now i really wanna hear about the rabbi and hi...
Yikes
I enjoy feasting on humans
*Judaism
original, or at least a page that shows the original
thank you. the original is so overly dramatic, treating women like they're a piece of thin glass

I'm not sure "hi beautiful" is the same as "nice tits" even if both are uncomfortable
I'd rather strange men I don't know say nothing to me at all.
Sure, but they still aren't the same thing.

Someone asking for your number is not "I'll stab him" territory.
No it’s not. This is hyperbole
But calling some a bitch is?
Lmao? Do you take every comic entirely seriously?
Stupid girls, getting offended over sexual harassment 🙄
I literally said women are stronger than this mild catcall 💀 but oh well
Sigh. Their art is so cute but storytelling is so bad.
Why does this give me the same vibes as the comic with the fedora bear beating a guy with a baseball bat
Because they lack the fortitude to actually confront people who do this kind of thing, so they're compensating with overly violent drawings.
Both of these emit high amounts of estrogen yes
the pink thing that even us in the left hate
The closest America has been to peace is hating that dumbass blobfish

This kind of response is funny to me because I'm married. Everything isn't misogyny.

You think women don't have people saying things like the line I added?
[deleted]
I've seen people say "go back to the kitchen" to women they didn't know, in person several times.
I know sexual harassment also happens. But the way you're gatekeeping what counts as misogyny is silly.

why do the blob comics piss me off so much it’s just so soap box
There's so many comics like that too lol and so many are so bad
didnt this comic try demonizing people who shoplift once
probably

He looks like he comments war crimes on his spear time
Is this the bloober team rhat iv been hearing about
Reminds me of a Dobson comic
Spy Blob about to do some real-world backstabs. Justice will be served. 🔪😂
Downplaying catcalling
Get out misogynist
Calling the original text catcalling is a stretch.
It's not a stretch, it's just what it is.

Hope she sees this bro
I hope you get to go to college one day and learn how to exercise critical thinking. You really need it.
Lmao. If that's what you did in college you need a refund. I'm glad I spent my time there doing something productive.
I came out of college a better person, morally, intellectually, and productively than I was when I went in. I'm sad for you that you were unable to do the same.
I don't think embodying the "office HR tattletale" archettpe is usually considered an intellectual or moral feat.
Stop it bro he's already dead!
Nuh-uh
Holy fuck this isn't even a high horse anymore, the poor thing is overdosing
I'm laughing so much rn
u/Namenloses do you know what Gassers are
Please go outside I beg of you and interact with real people
I’m like 99% certain you have better things to do with your free time than whatever this is
How? Calling a stranger beautiful and asking for their contact info is pretty textbook catcalling.
Asking for someone's phone number isn't suggestive, threatening, or derisive.
He's doesn't want her number, he's walking away with a grin. He just wanted to make her feel uncomfortable.
Wow, you genuinely have no idea what it's like to be a woman.
The original was kinda funny imo. Your necromancy makes it more sad
In the original he asks a pretty harmless question, she leaves, and he respects her space. Definitely not a reason to stab someone.
That’s what makes the response kinda funny.
I don’t think the original is self aware though. It’d be funny anti-humor if the original wasn’t a genuine attempt at making a statement
The joke itself isn’t what’s funny, it’s the fact the joke is so bad that’s funny
Yeah maybe I’m giving the oregano artist too much credit
That's the joke
If the joke is that what he said was harmless, why is she freaking out about being asked it?
The way I read it was that being approached in public scares people these days, even if the one approaching means no harm.
I find it a tired topic by nowadays. We've had "omg I can't handle a single second of social interaction without screaming" as a comic joke for over 5 years now.

OP linked the original to KnowYourMeme so maybe this is an old comic
5 years is a small figure for that. Swear people were making jokes about how unsociable they are since at least 2010, probably earlier.
Not to mention the parading of the bloated corpse of a deep sea fish.
