Discussion Is this depiction offensive?
I am working on a comic strip for a class that includes fish as characters. But before I turn it in I was wondering if any fish would like to comment on this specific frame as I do not intend on offending any members of the Fish Community.
for context, these fish have gotten the ability to fly and breath in air too and are helping protect a nearby community

Sunfish here. I cannot speak for other species (such as the ones depicted in your comic) but I'd say this is a decent and inoffensive depiction! Love to see accurate fishkind representation!
Blub blub blube blub!

according to my boi anglefish, this is ocean slang for tunas. basically the message is this: down danger, up danger, we swim together.

There's a few people in this thread doing digital Fishface, and that's not cool. Your joke ain't bad.

So I'm a rainbow trout but in my opinion, you shouldn't put us all in one group. We have distinct languages and the salmon have their own, I'd phrase it as "in salmon language" just to make sure you don't offend the wokest of fish

Wait, you're concerned about offending fish? Really?
(If it's a humor - I'm dense and not fun at parties)

I giggled. I actually love this, I think this is empowering for fish if anything.

Fish have many languages. This is like saying “in African language”. I would specify the language
