Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Yeah, but why did she feel like she can't tell him the true number?

[–] Dirk_Darkly@sh.itjust.works 29 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Because they aren't real people and it is a comic.

No, because there are actual people who judge a woman if she likes sex.

[–] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

There's nothing wrong with that, just with treating people like disposable objects

[–] CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com 3 points 9 months ago

Liking sex and being a hoe are two different things. Man or woman.

actual people who judge

Yeah people do that. About everything. Get over it.

As someone else said, the real answer is that this is a comic.

We don't really know from the OP whether they have been together for an hour, day, week, month, or even year (and he just never found the hoodies box yet?). Irl women are stigmatized with "slut shaming" for having multiple partners, and while men get stigmatized too this is not one of those ways. So irl she might have kept it from him until she was sure that he was mature enough to handle the truth. Although she could have also used it as a test - if he were a toxic masculinity believer, better for her to know the truth right away and get far away from him?

So there's deep stuff contextually related to this... but this is a newspaper comic community, so it is unclear how deep most people really wanted to get into the deep analysis of its backstory, unlike e.g. political memes where that is more the point.

Oh ah... I mean, b/c hers is bigger than his. :-P
