      The sort of comeback so good you think of it later on and write a comic, wishing you’d said it at the time

        I highly doubt the situation happened. Their insecurity manifested it and it was output into something that made them feel excused. In reality, no one outside of their own mind has thought or said this to them. At least not since junior school.

        Just a bunch…

      It would maybe pass as not cringe if not for the last panel

        It’s to show playfulness and that the artist doesn’t feel THAT strongly, imagine how cold the comic would be without it.

        And then consider that women have been raised to be polite and apologetic to the point it is even a habit for most of us. I guess that’s why I can’t really see it as cringe even if I try.

          The last panel just makes me feel like the artist went “haha wrecked them with that one”. It’s just… not for me

      Even if I were to agree with this rather obvious trolling attempt.

      …yes?

      “Type” is a word used to categorize things by shared characteristics, in this context, characteristics shared by the human body?

      “body type” has always been a general term to express the entire shape, size and proportions of a person, including excess weight and obesity.

      When I was obese I couldn’t pull off crop tops because of my body size, it was incredibly unflattering, and now that I’m a healthy weight I still can’t pull off crop tops because of my body proportions, I have a short torso.

      Body type encompasses both scenarios, so it’s often thought of as a polite way to tell someone something is unflattering without singling out specific “flaws” in their body.

      Most of the negative comments are from Lemmy.world users, which is the instance that recieves the bulk of the Reddit crowd before the users find a more fitting instance.

      Lemmy.world tends to attract people from Reddit that are too ideological to stay, but want the same thing as Reddit without the enshittification, so they go to the largest generalist instance first. Over time, some leave for more specialized instances, like Beehaw, Lemmy.ml, programming.dev, or blahaj.zone, so that leaves .world usually with newer accounts, or people who just want Reddit 2 before it went to shit.

      Not saying everyone from .world is bad, of course not, but what drives users to .world over more niche instances is usually coming straight from Reddit.

        I joined Lemmy.ml because it looked like the largest generalist instance plus apparently ran by Lemmy developers. Here you list it as a specialist one. Well, I couldn’t have known at the time. :D

    Can any ladies comment, are girls ever actually this bitchy to each other? This has to be a bit of hyperbole right?

      From what I hear it’s usually more about back-handed compliments than outright insults, like “wow, you must have a lot of confidence in yourself to wear that, go you!”

    The girl on the right is fucking hot. The comic is for girls that do not look like her but think they do 😂

    I think all women are beautiful but if you can’t live up to these strict standards, it’s not the end of the world.

    Hey mods… Ever heard of free speech? People can have opinions… Let people decide by upvotes and down votes. Why the unnecessary censoring?
