The way it is now is an exaggeration of the female body and few women actually look like that. The irony is that you missed that because you’re so used to the male gaze. (This is not meant to be an insult, it’s literally just the way we were all socialized).
This is Shen. He’s never been very deep. 90% of his comics are literally a generic humanoid called “Life” beating him up and then the comments are filled with “Are you ok, shen?”. I thought reddit had enough of him but apparently he’s leaking over here now too…
I think I’ve liked all his shit, from the concept-people like “life”, to the creepypastas, to the more introspective stuff, even to the obsession with women / yuri lol.
Yeah the comics don’t go deep, but I like his voice.
My interpretation is he saw a guy because he had the visor on, but when it came off it’s revealed it was a hot woman all along, and the visor was “protecting” him from that view. As in, he doesn’t have to deal with his misogyny if he doesn’t see women.
Damn that’s good. Yeah kind of like how we often see men as “default people” so if you’re just picturing a person you’re often thinking of a man without realising it - without even gendering them.
Speak for yourself, bruh. We may not all say it, or say it as frequently as men do, but some of us absolutely have “bro” and its varieties within our regular vocabulary.
Honestly, I grew up using “dude” the same way (it was unavoidable when you grew up surrounded by brothers and male cousins in the 90s.) “Bro” was adopted later on. It has the same gender-coded tinge to it, but since “dude” already made sense to me, “bro” never felt strange to say.
Or even just an overexaggerated part of the female body, to signify where the stereotypical man focuses his attention.
The way it is now just sorta says “the male gaze is ‘guys seeing women’”? Which…okay?

Have you seen any of his comics from the last year?
I don’t keep up with Shen comics (besides this bizarre resurgence I’ve noticed recently) but that was only ever the first few years he was around.
A few years of “life sucks” was enough for me and now I avoid his unfunny comics. The art style is too “rage comics” for me still.
This guy doesn’t like the classical masters!

Ooooor it just doesn’t make sense.

No, no, you’re cooking. I can see that interpretation.
I don’t see it when the lady saying “bro” after he loses the visor. “Bro” is not something ladies really say.
I (afab) call my husband, sisters, and female friends bros, dudes, dawgs, and guys.
Whether I’m a lady is debatable, because I’m a little rough around the edges, but I’m definitely female and wear skirts.
Bro, what.

My daughter has entered the chat bro.
Really?
Maybe it’s linguistic continuity to show they are the same person from before the visor was removed. Or…
Maybe women can just say “bro”.
They can, but that’s really more a dude thing.
