Jeph sets 'em up, and he knocks 'em down.
shanejayell:
Poor Bubbles.
And yeah I think it's a poke at the shippers. Still cute tho.

BUt that's because you live in a rather strange hyper sexualised and affluent society. Even when I was young sharing a bedroom was not uncommon - almost universal among college students - and two males or females sharing a double bed in case of no better alternative wasn't held to imply a sexual relationship. The amusing part of a society that is desperate to appear non-judgemental and accepting - and in which shipping is an almost universal custom - is that the result is to assume sexual relationships where none exist.

I don't totally understand why everyone keeps talking about this possibly being a gay thing....... Bubs is an AI......... there is no real gender. If bubbles got a different body SHE could suddenly be a HE.
Literally Bubbles is nothing more than a consciousness in a replaceable robot body.

Jeph has long established that AI's have definite gender identities. And I would assume that a female AI in a male chassis would have the same body dysphoria as a trans person.

When?

It has nothing to do with the comic, but I feel the need to rant about this. Which societies are not hypersexualized in your reckoning? The ones where girls are married off at 13? The ones where women are stoned to death for showing an uncovered ankle? The ones where used panties can be purchased out of vending machines? The ones where where women are routinely raped on public transit?
Yeah, I get that people in poor and/or crowded countries share bedrooms and even beds. But I don't see how you can claim that Americans are any more obsessed with sex than people everywhere else.
