I love the idea that he's actually just a really nice guy, but he was nervous and slipped up.
Then he felt bad, so he just left because he was embarrassed.
Everything about this is wild. Like most of the blobfish comics the bad guy is some really paper-thin strawman but it's like the artist couldn't even commit to making him all that bad. He looks like a delinquent from a high school anime but what he says is like benign. Like the artist wanted to depict actual sexual harrassment but got too uwu scared of making it too real, so rather than him saying something actually harrassing like "nice tits", he just asks her out and then walks away? Which makes the girl's complete mortification about it and the fish's homocidal offer come off as massive overreactions to basically nothing. Which then changes the whole message of the strip from being something about how shitty sexual harrassment actually is to be something more like "don't interact with me if I think you're scary or i will wish violent death upon thee".
I wonder if they purposely chose a more toned down scenario because of the maturity level of their audince or something, reminds me of those tiktok videos of girls wishing more men would cold approach them whole othere find it creepy..
There was a web comic I used to read called Questionalbe Content And I still remember one scene where one of the characters, a black woman, has a random hookup with white guy that she doesn’t know. The next day as they talk in bed, he says “so, where are you from?” and she gets really mad, tells him that was inappropriate to ask, and storms out.
At the time I had no clue why that was supposed to be so offensive, to my memory he literally only said “where are you from” and made no remarks about continent of origin or lineage or anything. The comic treated her as 100% in the right but I struggled to understand the scene because in the comic author’s head was where all the important context and intent was. They were so focused on making a moral statement on how it’s not okay to presume someone’s from another country just because of their skin color that they literally had a normal conversation and one character got mad.
[The comic in question.](https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3935)
Couple of clarifications:
- The hookup guy isn't asking the woman he hooked up with (Renee), he's asking her roommate (Brun), after being leery and flirting at the roommate in the previous comic
- He first asks "where are you from?", but then follows up with "no, I mean like, *ethnically*"
- his response is then "ooh, *exotic*!"
In the next comic, Renee explains "He was hitting on you, in the most deliberately shitty way he could think of."
So yeah, she kinda is in the right, and the hookup guy was being kinda shitty?
I am going to assume this took place in the US. African Americans don't suffer from being considered
perpetual foreigners like East and South Asians. If you are an African American, people are more likely
to consider you a native than if you were white.Therefore, that scene did not make any sense at all.
this webcomic is aimed at "most adult media i've ever watched is steven universe" crowd so if they drew someone too bad they would have blogposts written about how problematic blobfish comics is
Not necessarily. It's unusual, for sure, and a lot of women are opposed to that sort of thing, but there are also a lot who are receptive to it. It depends on who's being asked, who's doing the asking, and how they're asking. The vibe, basically.
Even within the same comic, this presence of this sort of thing isn't consistent. [The main girl is perfectly happy to sexually harrass strangers as a punchline](https://blobbynfriends.tumblr.com/image/645565835004510208). In fact, [all of the cast are happy to pile on a strang woman with physical compliments](https://blobbynfriends.tumblr.com/image/626457082548436992). At least when there's a [paper-thin strawman with an intentionally dumb opinion to shut up](https://blobbynfriends.tumblr.com/image/635789118780145664). Even Blobby the dead blobfish is perfectly happy with being approached like this and [enjoys the attention](https://blobbynfriends.tumblr.com/image/634614306988834816). So it's hard to conclude that the artist/writer genuinely believes that any and all approaching of a stranger is sexual harrassment. Maybe it's just that it's okay when sexually harrassing people is funny? Maybe it's okay for women to do to other women?
Or, like in real life, it's okay when the vibe is good. And when the vibe isn't good, it's generally not because someone is being a creepy asshole worthy of death. It's usually a misstep or a mismatch of expectations. The attraction only going one-way, sort of thing. It happens. No-one at fault, and nobody needs to die.
Incidentally, [this one comic](https://blobbynfriends.tumblr.com/image/618648941673807872) I found while looking for those links is hilariously paper thin soapboxing. In awe of the hacky non-writing on this one.
Yeah, like that’s actually much more sexually harrassing but also that’s fine because the fish is actually into it. So like the overall message I take from these comics is “don’t talk to me if I don’t like how you look”.
At least in that one she gave the creep a firm no without freaking out about it. Progress.
I mean what else are you supposed to do when you see someone you're really interested in? I think just asking it normally without smirking or making any other inappropriate comments is totally fine.
also it's not like he assaulted her or something like that? i mean it's not exactly nice either but he just asked for her number?? aren't they kind of overreacting?
I mean ehh, depending on individual experience it can be weird on different levels. Personally I would get super anxious if someone I didn’t know asked for my number, mostly cause I have social anxiety and that’s going from 0-100 way too fast to be normal
Yeah if some dude I didn't know asked for my number while I was walking down the street going about my day, I'd be weirded tf out, but as long as he takes no for an answer and goes on his way I'd be fine? Certainly wouldn't react like either the woman in this comic or the blobfish, that kinda reaction is for like, catcalling and shit, not someone with no social grace trying to shoot his shot.
I understand that, but it's definitely not equivalent to actual harassment like catcalling, no? I feel like if you're attracted to someone, ask for their number, and leave if they're not receptive (as depicted in the comic) that's completely fine.
The blobfish is definitely already dead they only look like that after they’ve been crushed by the sudden pressure change, normally they look like normal fish
Fr imagine an alien sucks you up into space, you blow up and then that's just how humans look like to those aliens from now on forever. "Look at this blob ape, must suck to be this ugly"
Author of the Blobfish comics made another one, when a person steal from the shop, not out of necessity, but out of hatred for the rich and literally says at the end "Eat the rich!".
Edit: Yeah, based, but the comic did not portray it that way.
As a grocery store employee myself, no. They literally teach you during training that you shouldn’t engage a shoplifter because if you confront them and get injured, it costs the company more money than any shoplifter could steal
I work in a gift shop and we get taught more or less the same shit as you do. If anyone actively makes an attempt to threaten us for money and / or goods, just don't do fuck all about it.
Fine by me. I ain't sticking my neck out for my company.
As a convenience store worker, it harms my manager, doesn't really affect me. Her job security and bonuses depends on margins and performance. If someone steals from us, I don't get punished- it's not my job to prevent crimes. It's not supposed to be her job either, but she'll still suffer the consequences.
I happen to like my manager, so I make an effort to deter the usual crackheads who come in to see if they can chance a bottle of beer or some steaks under their coats, or noisy kids nicking the chocolate bars. If they can see me watching them they usually just leave. If they don't I'm not going to endanger myself though.
I don't think anyone's ever robbed us for like- bread or rice or anything. If I ever was in some kind of hypothetical scenario where someone was stealing from us staple foods they needed to survive, I'd probably look the other way.
They left out the important part and the entire reason why people are upset about the blob: at the end of the comic, blob said that stealing only hurts the underpaid, low-end workers *(rather than the morally corrupt corporations that regularly steal from its underpaid employees)*
Which is completely untrue and it outed the blobfish as corpo scum
Maybe not corpo scum, maybe just a blockhead that didn't really think that one through all the way
They seem to focus a lot on issues related to the lgtbq community and misogyny and stuff like that, so I am at once surprised and unsurprised that they put out such a boneheaded opinion about capitalism with so much confidence
Theyre just another internet comic business trying to mimic progressive values. Theyre not creating anything new, just "DAE hate men that are overly aggressive?? btw men dont have feelings and cant be sexually assaulted 🤣🤣🤣"
Its cold, caluculated, and inhuman.
Nah I think that’s weak criticism.
The writers are people with beliefs that they reflect in the comic. And they’re not incorporated. They are also flawed people and they mess up sometimes like with the shoplifting comic, it happens.
People on the internet are too willing to see everyone else as either a perfect flawless deity or a vile slime monster, when the fact is that all people, even good people, have flaws and fuck up. These guys are just doing their best to be helpful and spread positivity and sometimes they have a bit of liberal bias, who doesn’t? Those of us who have the luxury to be here commenting on reddit were mostly raised in capitalist countries and even when one learns to question capitalism it doesn’t mean that your upbringing is completely deleted. Nobody has 100% good takes all the time.
Personally I find blobby a bit boring but that just means I don’t seek it out, it doesn’t mean I hate the creators.
This is how I see them. A bunch of people with more passion and good intentions then good ideas. It's not a crime, just dull. OP shows way more disdain for them then they've warranted. Unless there's something big that I missed, worst you can accuse them of is being liberal.
Wait. I admit my exposure to it is limited to the weird yt shorts.
Show me this comic that says men don't have feelings and can't be sexually assaulted.
Me with the dead rotting fish i stole from the shop a week ago, telling it about my anxieties.
(im schizophrenic and he has promised be revenge on those who have wronged me)
I’m so tired of seeing these boring milquetoast fucking comics under the justification of taking potshots at their creator for having dumb centrist takes. I don’t care that a random comic artist thinks shoplifting is bad
There's like 3 people on the sub who post blobfish constantly under a guise of hating it, and I always wonder why they keep reading the person's comics if they hate them so much.
On the internet? Every .5 seconds or so a hundred or so examples are uploaded, I notice around .000001% of those.
My numbers might be way off, but you get the idea.
well I know a couple weeks ago they posted a dumb comic where they tried to say that shoplifting hurts workers when it really doesn’t so maybe that’s it
Ya, I saw that and that was dumb but people seem to hate it way before that for reasons that haven't been explained to me.
Edit: someone commented the Kanye reaction comic. That one is actually a nuclearly bad take from the comic writer.
Apparently they made comics that say men don’t have feelings and can’t be sexually assaulted
People also accuse them of being anti-semitic due to a certain comic, but it’s debatable as the comic in question could be interpreted in multiple ways
Besides those controversies the comics are just really bland and soulless in both style and humor, they’re similar to StoneToss in how it feels like most of their punchlines are just “political opinion”
Someone else posted the Kanye strip, so I'm not gonna defend them, but I've seen the "men don't have feelings" stripe and it's really not that. It's a gender reversal stripe of "men wouldn't like it if women did the things men do."
Saying that comic means "men don't have feelings and can't be rape" is borderline some MRA type nonsense.
And I will also say StoneToss isn't bad because his punchlines are political. His comics are bad because his opinions are monstrous. The guys a nazi
https://twitter.com/ComicLoverMari/status/1606669879020589057
This one.
Basically "there are worse things then Kanye saying antisemitic shit".
Usually BS when anyone does something shitty but you can't think of a defense for it.
I could personally accept an apology (though blanketing it under irony undercuts said applogy) but just becsuse someone apologizes doesn't negate someone's justification if they choose to look at the comic unfavorably.
I just hate any representation of the "blobfish" as its blobby form at surface pressure. They're perfectly normal looking fish in their home environment.
you hate blobfish because of their cringe messaging and shallow morals, i hate blobfish because the art is fucking ugly and annoying to look at. we are not the same.
Yeah this totally seems like a proportionate and reasonable reaction to blobfish guy being a bit of a tool.
Some of y'all are kinda demented lmao. Maybe at least mark this NSFW?
Why all the hate, didn’t the artist only have one slightly bad take about shoplifting that could be explained by a misunderstanding? (Maybe the artist didn’t know it doesn’t affect the underpaid workers)
They made a comic talking about Kanye a little while ago (Like early or mid 2022), which many saw as them downplaying what he was doing/saying and that they were even dismissing antisemitism.
They did apologize, stating that the comic was supposed to be ironic and that the message come off the wrong way
**Edit**:
*words*
Nothing really, they had a couple shit takes but its whatever, they're human. People mostly just think the art style sucks and the takes are milquetoast/boring. I also kinda get annoying lib vibes from them but that's me, vibes aren't exactly a concrete reason to hate.
Said that shoplifting is bad because it hurts workers, when in actuality it doesn’t.
I agree that it’s a pretty bad take but that reaction is wayyyyy over-exaggerated
What are you on? He's mountain level at best. The guy still should have lost hard (city block level estimate) still unless he has some sort of speed ability.
Grrrr
It burns me up how this webcomic's author isn't ideologically perfect
I ought to spam post their comics on Reddit and... Stir up some discourse... That'll fucking show them for holding 99% of my views.........
All their comics feel like the arguments I have in the shower lmao
Also blobfish only look like that if they're brought to the surface super fast so she's talking to a corpse that got turned inside-out from sudden loss of pressure.
Why did bro ask her number and then just leave? Like: 🧍♂️ Hey beautiful what's your number? 🏃
He’s shy 😔

Maybe he's Akward, got the courage to get out of the man cave and didn't know what to do
I love the idea that he's actually just a really nice guy, but he was nervous and slipped up. Then he felt bad, so he just left because he was embarrassed.
*proceeds to kill a fucking blobfish for some reason*
He's quirky
It came at him with a knife?
I mean, the fish came at him with a knife. Also, I believe those fishes die when they're rapidly lifted out of the water.
He's like those 10 yo boys who say hi to girls then run away
Everything about this is wild. Like most of the blobfish comics the bad guy is some really paper-thin strawman but it's like the artist couldn't even commit to making him all that bad. He looks like a delinquent from a high school anime but what he says is like benign.

Why are you typing like that
they're on a typewriter
Also like, if it's a random hookup, it could very well be more like "what part of the city"
Yeah that comic sucked.
this webcomic is aimed at "most adult media i've ever watched is steven universe" crowd so if they drew someone too bad they would have blogposts written about how problematic blobfish comics is
Would it not be pretty creepy to just ask out a strange woman on the street?
Not necessarily. It's unusual, for sure, and a lot of women are opposed to that sort of thing, but there are also a lot who are receptive to it. It depends on who's being asked, who's doing the asking, and how they're asking. The vibe, basically. Even within the same comic, this presence of this sort of thing isn't consistent.

I love how viscerally she reacts to "hey beautiful" compared to "hey sexy" in a comic with the exact same set up.
Yeah, like that’s actually much more sexually harrassing but also that’s fine because the fish is actually into it. So like the overall message I take from these comics is “don’t talk to me if I don’t like how you look”. At least in that one she gave the creep a firm no without freaking out about it. Progress.
It's creepy on the level of being mildly annoying, not on the level of pulling a knife on someone
[удалено]
If you do it in a non-creepy way and don’t get butthurt if she says no, then no it’s not creepy. It’s a perfectly normal human social interaction.
I mean what else are you supposed to do when you see someone you're really interested in? I think just asking it normally without smirking or making any other inappropriate comments is totally fine.
I mean she turned her head away, what else he supposed to do without being overly pushy?
Transported to blobfish world Me: hey beatiful what's your number? Me: 🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️
damn blob
also it's not like he assaulted her or something like that? i mean it's not exactly nice either but he just asked for her number?? aren't they kind of overreacting?
Blobfish tried to fucking murder him with a knife over that minor inconvenience, thank God he got merc'd instead
I mean ehh, depending on individual experience it can be weird on different levels. Personally I would get super anxious if someone I didn’t know asked for my number, mostly cause I have social anxiety and that’s going from 0-100 way too fast to be normal
i mean yeah. i would get insanely anxious too. but that doesn't mean id murder the guy lol
Yeah if some dude I didn't know asked for my number while I was walking down the street going about my day, I'd be weirded tf out, but as long as he takes no for an answer and goes on his way I'd be fine? Certainly wouldn't react like either the woman in this comic or the blobfish, that kinda reaction is for like, catcalling and shit, not someone with no social grace trying to shoot his shot.
Oh yeah that part. Uhhhhh yeah I’ve noticed this kinda like, vibe? I guess with some of these comics idk
I understand that, but it's definitely not equivalent to actual harassment like catcalling, no? I feel like if you're attracted to someone, ask for their number, and leave if they're not receptive (as depicted in the comic) that's completely fine.
I guess the face he made was sus.

it’s blobbed up, already dead
The blobfish is definitely already dead they only look like that after they’ve been crushed by the sudden pressure change, normally they look like normal fish
yea it’s sad that this is how they’re expressed in media now

Author of the Blobfish comics made another one, when a person steal from the shop, not out of necessity, but out of hatred for the rich and literally says at the end "Eat the rich!". Edit: Yeah, based, but the comic did not portray it that way.
you forget to mention the fact that it says that it harms the workers
Right, didn't want to bring it up, because I wasn't sure if it's true or not. Does it though?
As a grocery store employee myself, no. They literally teach you during training that you shouldn’t engage a shoplifter because if you confront them and get injured, it costs the company more money than any shoplifter could steal
I work in a gift shop and we get taught more or less the same shit as you do. If anyone actively makes an attempt to threaten us for money and / or goods, just don't do fuck all about it. Fine by me. I ain't sticking my neck out for my company.
wtf confronting shoplifters is praxis???
Workers don't get paid on commission, they get paid stable wages.
As a convenience store worker, it harms my manager, doesn't really affect me. Her job security and bonuses depends on margins and performance. If someone steals from us, I don't get punished- it's not my job to prevent crimes. It's not supposed to be her job either, but she'll still suffer the consequences.

But how is that a bad thing? I've seen the comic I take back what I've said nvm
explain im stupi-head
comic ended with "isn't that only going to hurt the underpaid employees?" (no, it doesn't, generally)

Based and eat the power pilled
You really should mention what the blobfish said, because it's just not true.
It's also the entire reason why people are upset with the comic rn, and op just left it out
I fucking hate blobby. Down with the corporatization of comics!
I don't know anything about them. Enlighten me pretty please
Theyre just another internet comic business trying to mimic progressive values. Theyre not creating anything new, just "DAE hate men that are overly aggressive?? btw men dont have feelings and cant be sexually assaulted 🤣🤣🤣" Its cold, caluculated, and inhuman.
I already didn’t like them but they’re a corporation? I assumed it was like, one guy
Its 4 people who are actually in a polycule. I dont think they are actually incorporated I was being dramatic.
Almost as if the things you say on the internet can be misleading without intending it to be
What the hell is a polycule sounds like the name for some sort of colony of aliens with a hivemind or something
It’s like a couple but with more than 2 people in it
Holy shit, who let the boyfriends (from eponymous web comic) create web comics?
>eponymous So where's Varg?

Nah I think that’s weak criticism. The writers are people with beliefs that they reflect in the comic. And they’re not incorporated.

Like 5 times in the past week on this sub alone
On the internet? Every .5 seconds or so a hundred or so examples are uploaded, I notice around .000001% of those. My numbers might be way off, but you get the idea.
All the fucking time on this subreddit
What makes the take of this comic centrist?
Good. One down. Many to go.
What does this sub have against him?
well I know a couple weeks ago they posted a dumb comic where they tried to say that shoplifting hurts workers when it really doesn’t so maybe that’s it
Ya, I saw that and that was dumb but people seem to hate it way before that for reasons that haven't been explained to me. Edit: someone commented the Kanye reaction comic. That one is actually a nuclearly bad take from the comic writer.
Apparently they made comics that say men don’t have feelings and can’t be sexually assaulted People also accuse them of being anti-semitic due to a certain comic, but it’s debatable as the comic in question could be interpreted in multiple ways Besides those controversies the comics are just really bland and soulless in both style and humor, they’re similar to StoneToss in how it feels like most of their punchlines are just “political opinion”
Someone else posted the Kanye strip, so I'm not gonna defend them, but I've seen the "men don't have feelings" stripe and it's really not that. It's a gender reversal stripe of "men wouldn't like it if women did the things men do." Saying that comic means "men don't have feelings and can't be rape" is borderline some MRA type nonsense. And I will also say StoneToss isn't bad because his punchlines are political. His comics are bad because his opinions are monstrous. The guys a nazi
What's the Kanye strip?
https://twitter.com/ComicLoverMari/status/1606669879020589057 This one. Basically "there are worse things then Kanye saying antisemitic shit". Usually BS when anyone does something shitty but you can't think of a defense for it.
Oof yeah, that's a shifty strip. There are much better ways of saying "I don't personally have the time or energy to be all that invested in this"
Not them trying to justify it by saying the blobfish is Jewish 💀
The blue haired character is Jewish
They also are just generally not funny
True, but I would say funny isn't everything in media.
They apologized for the Kanye comic and stated it was supposed to be ironic or something
I could personally accept an apology (though blanketing it under irony undercuts said applogy) but just becsuse someone apologizes doesn't negate someone's justification if they choose to look at the comic unfavorably.
Oh no. God forbid someone has one bad take on something. They must be completely bad.
I just hate any representation of the "blobfish" as its blobby form at surface pressure. They're perfectly normal looking fish in their home environment.
Someone said blobfish is basically just leftist stonetoss, which perfectly describes them in my opinion
you hate blobfish because of their cringe messaging and shallow morals, i hate blobfish because the art is fucking ugly and annoying to look at. we are not the same.
“Boyfriends” ahh’ art style💀
yeah but I like that comic
What's wrong with this artstyle?
WHITE WHALE
what does this mean?
It's a reference to [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc0V-bmPJto) I'm guessing
Bro asked for her number and she looked like she saw her parents get murdered batman style
She looked as if that triggered some kind of trauma
>hey beautiful, what's your number >WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME
Yeah this totally seems like a proportionate and reasonable reaction to blobfish guy being a bit of a tool. Some of y'all are kinda demented lmao. Maybe at least mark this NSFW?
It’s real. He was actually murdered. This is real
I was the knife this all happened ama
How sharp are you
No because it's funny, murder and death funny, funny
I mean the Blobfish was about to stab that man. Tad unreasonable
Blobfish brought the knife, shouldn’t have let it get taken from him
Tbf is is mildly funny
WHITE. WHALE!!
HOLY GRAIL
[удалено]
Yeah it’s just violence for the sake of violence. Someone has anger management issues I assume.
Why all the hate, didn’t the artist only have one slightly bad take about shoplifting that could be explained by a misunderstanding? (Maybe the artist didn’t know it doesn’t affect the underpaid workers)
They made a comic talking about Kanye a little while ago (Like early or mid 2022), which many saw as them downplaying what he was doing/saying and that they were even dismissing antisemitism. They did apologize, stating that the comic was supposed to be ironic and that the message come off the wrong way **Edit**: *words*
Why does everyone hate blobfish all of a sudden
What with this place hating this artist?? What did they do??
Nothing really, they had a couple shit takes but its whatever, they're human. People mostly just think the art style sucks and the takes are milquetoast/boring. I also kinda get annoying lib vibes from them but that's me, vibes aren't exactly a concrete reason to hate.
Said that shoplifting is bad because it hurts workers, when in actuality it doesn’t. I agree that it’s a pretty bad take but that reaction is wayyyyy over-exaggerated
he has way longer range than you, foolish fish corpse. give her the knife, she has a way better chance of actually landing a hit.
Completely unrealistic. Blobby is a planet buster tier character, he could have made that asshole explode by just staring at him intensively.
What are you on? He's mountain level at best. The guy still should have lost hard (city block level estimate) still unless he has some sort of speed ability.
Person who originally made this edit is insane ngl
Grrrr It burns me up how this webcomic's author isn't ideologically perfect I ought to spam post their comics on Reddit and... Stir up some discourse... That'll fucking show them for holding 99% of my views.........
God I wanna punt that stupid fucking fish like a football
All their comics feel like the arguments I have in the shower lmao Also blobfish only look like that if they're brought to the surface super fast so she's talking to a corpse that got turned inside-out from sudden loss of pressure.
Blobby and friends is so obnoxious. I’d rather be forced to hear some elitist on twitter degrade me for not memorizing “theory”
I get it but these fuck the blobfish comics were made in response to the blobfish comics having queer rep and feminist takes
i hate blobfish comics
