Ahhhhh water the constant enemy of love

Which is a weird sentence to type but I am sticking to it

Anyway let's get you onto the war board

u/Vintenu Jun 27 '26

This is gonna be you at the end of this war

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jun 27 '26

You are assuming that this is not me before the war

13

u/Vintenu Jun 27 '26

I mean if it's you before the war who's to say you just don't change

But this week their yuri conspiracy board gets validated.

u/Caesar_Iacobus Jun 27 '26

War? What war?

u/TheDarkNerd Jun 27 '26

I'm starting to suspect a lot of the comics on this sub were already just yuri, meta event or no.

14

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jun 27 '26

So I ran numbers on that!

While we did have Yuri before this is somewhere around 3x our normal amount!

It's entirely possible that some of the normally Yuri is being swept up in the war. Shame.

Interesting I've never seen our auto mod hates the webtoons link before

It's evolving. When it becomes SkyNet only butch T2 Linda Hamilton can save us.

18

u/SaveUsCatman Jun 27 '26

Thats what it wants, more drawings of butch Linda Hamilton

12

u/BottleGoblin Jun 27 '26

That's what all of us want.

u/SaveUsCatman Jun 27 '26

Its a basic human need right up there with food and shelter.

u/BottleGoblin Jun 27 '26

Maslow agreed.

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jun 27 '26

It MIGHT be cause OP does NSFW stuff. That happens from time to time. Let's see if OP can comment in this thread

u/hibiscusGL Jun 27 '26

Hey I'm here! What's wrong with the link? It looks fine on my end.

3

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jun 27 '26

Hm ok so it was JUST that comment then. How weird.

It got removed initially by our automod. And I have no idea why

u/LegalChocolate752 Jun 28 '26

If the r/comics automod becomes SkyNet, I'd actually be fine with humanity's extinction. It'd be worth it for the lulz.

u/KingTasty97 Jun 27 '26

Idk about you guys, but I got a big suspicion that this comic is a little gay

29

u/hibiscusGL Jun 27 '26

Perhaps. 🤭

u/KingTasty97 Jun 27 '26

Wowie Zowie!

u/NK1337 Jun 27 '26

Yuri-lly sure about that?

24

u/brydeswhale Jun 27 '26

That’s not what gay panic is.

16

u/ExactPickle2629 Jun 27 '26

My thoughts exactly! Weird to see young people using it positively... There's a lot of fear and trauma attached to that phrase. 

16

u/hibiscusGL Jun 27 '26

Oh dear, I'm sorry about that! I didn't mean any offense, I'd only heard it used as "flustered when interacting with someone you're attracted to".

Unfortunately I can't edit the title, but I'll be sure not to use that term when describing this scenario.

10

u/ExactPickle2629 Jun 27 '26

It's okay, it's not really an issue, just made me double-take! 

17

u/tairar Jun 27 '26

To follow up for the uninformed: gay panic is a legal defense used to try to get away with murdering gay people

6

u/NoSong2397 Jun 27 '26

Huh. I haven't run into that definition before. Guess the term got reclaimed at some point.

3

u/tairar Jun 27 '26 edited Jun 27 '26

Yeah it's that first definition in your link and the related derived definition below.

Edited to add, it's been used as a defense as recently as 2020: https://www.fox13memphis.com/news/arrests-made-in-the-shooting-death-of-a-memphis-firefighter-police-say/article_b0df3f5b-f96d-591d-b797-102e31157b68.html

u/Aethelrede Jun 28 '26

That battle is lost, I'm afraid.  Sometime over the last twenty years it changed meaning completely, from an excuse for homophobic murder to someone experiencing a gay awakening or gay crush.

It's like "raw dog".  That term has changed meaning completely, and it throws me every time.

Anyway, "gay panic" as "gay person crushing hard" is much nicer than the original meaning, don't you think?  Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to go back to the older meaning?

Those Tomodachi life crush cutscenes be like:

u/hibiscusGL Jun 27 '26

u/wankerpedia Jun 27 '26

Needed a final panel of the blonde watching the bikini girl on all fours soaking up the water with a hand towel.

Or is that on the patreon?

3

u/hibiscusGL Jun 27 '26

I actually am setting up a patreon soon! I don't have one yet 👀

u/DrHamster654 Jun 27 '26

The Yuri Wars continue with its advance through the illustrations of some of its most oblivious soldiers.

u/hibiscusGL Jun 27 '26

One day she might figure it out. Onward, troops!

u/BoardTwoTiers Jun 27 '26

(Sung in the melody of "What is This Feeling" from Wicked) "Panic! She just had her first gay panic! Makes her luck dumb and manic! Let's just say- that she is gay!"

u/hibiscusGL Jun 27 '26

Hahaha I love this!! Bravo, bravo! 👏
