    Fun fact: Reddit’s main sub for Questionable Content is actually a sub for hating on Questionable Content.

      God, don’t even get me started. There are people on there who genuinely think that dating a trans woman means that Marten is bi.

          Transwomen are women. Just because you’re closed minded doesn’t make you right or anyone else of your anecdotal “majority”. If you’re a man and you’re attracted to women, that makes you straight. Full stop.

              A straight dude can be squeamish about dating a transwoman, that’s something different. Not everyone wants dick, I get that. But a straight dude dating a transwoman doesn’t somehow make him not straight. Marten is attracted to women, and is dating one. Nothing about this indicates he’s bi. What is there not to get here?

          Depends on the state of transition.

          If fully transitioned then no I wouldn’t consider them bi.

          If not though, then yes they are bi to some extent

      Imagine expending any effort on hating a wholesome slice of life comic. Then imagine being a mod for a forum about that.

        It’s a fact that reinforces how much more fun being here is, though 🤷

      I just looked through there and those alternate comics that they make are hilarious.

      No. It means reapplying makeup. I guess facial powders aren’t as popular as they used to be, but that is where the saying came from.

      I’m pretty sure it originated in the mid twentieth century and referred to touching up makeup.

        Not really tbh. If anything, it’s gradually getting worse. Still gonna keep reading it though, I’m in too deep at this point!

        It’s my gay comfort food. I don’t take it seriously or worry about the story, I just enjoy each new strip every morning, and I think it’s a really good comic for that

    Dang, some years ago I read Questionable Content in its entirety. I stopped reading when Faye started dating Bubbles, because the page was blocked where I work. I want to read it again out of curiosity, but knowing that I need to read thousands of days just to catch up dampens my enthusiasm.

      Yeah, it’s very intimidating when you think about it in that way (I know from having been in the exact same situation as you are now), but once you get past that hurdle and just enjoy the comics for themselves, it’s no big deal heh.

      If you want to start again, I took the liberty of going through the fandom timeline and finding the approximate comic you were at 😁

      They’ve got so many characters now that it’s impossible to keep track of them all. Still a fun read, though. I check back every week or so.
