Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT

An interesting blog I came across ...

(1/4) > >>

nockiemommy:
This is interesting, and I'd like to get a take on others' opinions of the blog I found that mentioned QC and Jeph. There are 3 actual blog posts to read, and all are linked from the one I'll post. It's written by a feminist, and I'll quote one of my favorite lines here. From the 'sexuality and identity' post, the authoress says this: "In portraying sex work and promiscuity, Jacques takes a no-shame, sex-positive approach to open sexuality - while still depicting internalized and externalized slutphobia."

Let the comments commence!

"Slutphobia?"

Ugh.

I have a truly special pet peeve reserved for people who make themselves look like idiots by misusing the "-phobia" suffix. True phobias are terrible, debilitating things, capable of turning the lives of innocent, good people into shambles. I have absolutely no respect for people who think its clever to take their agendas and attach "phobia" to anyone who might have an opposition to them.

Carl-E:
Oh, she finally finished the trilogy.  The other two have shown up in the forums before. 

But when did this happen? 
--- Quote ---"They discuss gender fluidity and trans men with a fair amount of respect, though the comic has othered and marginalized trans women on a few occasions."
--- End quote ---

I don't really recall transgendered individuals ever coming up at all - unless Jimbo was born female! 

Penquin47:
The links are there... the respectful one was Tai and Marten talking about how Tai used to pass for male but identifies as female, while the less respectful one was Dora commenting on Faye's descent into sluttery passing through straight men into transsexuals.

Is it cold in here?:
Jeph said something quite pungent about people applying their agendas to his comic.
