I had to re-read it several times to figure out how it wasn't supposed to be a gay hookup.

I still don't get how it isn't a gay hookup. How are you supposed to read it?

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 38 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I guess we're supposed to look at the guy on the left and instead of thinking "He is in distress," we're supposed to think, "He is unfuckable." And we're supposed to look at the guy on the right and instead of thinking, "He is going to fuck that other guy," we're supposed to think, "He is so fuckable."

I think it's gay either way you look at it.

It's going for "No woman will respect beta left guy's wussy way of asking to hook up while women love gigachad right guy's demand for it."

Ohh. They're not even texting each other. They're texting two other dudes. That makes a lot more sense.

They're not texting each other, they're texting their girlfriends

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago

Or boyfriends, the story does not tell...

could be their boyfriends or something we don't even know about

They're the same person, just different approaches to sending a text.

It's confusing af by the way they are facing each other. That is usually meant to communicate "they're talking with one another". The Internet is weird.

It's not the internet in this case, it's AI. It's shit at comic composition. Even something as simple as where a person is looking can very quickly give it away that it's AI generated.

That's true. This is one of the AI effects I hadn't considered. OP made and then posted this image thinking it communicates what they wrote for a prompt. But basically everyone itt is confused about what it means. If someone made this comic from scratch they likely wouldn't have had the characters face each other because it's definitely part of why it's confusing. I guess I'm just getting at there's something like confirmation bias at play. OP was expecting the result to mean one thing, so they saw it. People without that bias mostly didn't see it.
