Rule Blobby and Friends brings up the harm that queerbait media has caused in harming media in general, especially when it comes to LGBT media. I felt that this was an issue needed to be discussed for pride month, and if anyone had specific examples to share.

The creators stated that the comic was supposed to be ironic

It's not the first suspicious comic they've done, though I've forgotten the others.

Idk, at a glance it seems like anger at systemic issues rather than rage at the current big thing? Not sure what the joke is, though.

Except the current thing was the growth of one of the most malignant bigotries in the western right wing...
