    Huh, for some reason I just noticed how it’s ok to sexualize a woman if you depict the one doing the sexualizing as also a woman. Like, if this comic depicted a male in the drivers seat rather than a woman it’d be a serious problem because men finding women attractive is not good but women finding women attractive is good and funny.

    Maybe… I know this idea is kinda radical but stay with me… maybe it’s ok for everyone to be attracted to someone and to a degree sexualization of the gender one is sexually attracted to is absolutely a normal human experience no matter what you identify or were born as? Huh…

      And you think that is not what the author is doing?

      I think it depends on what you mean by sexualize.

      There’s probably a lot of power dynamics and agency involved, too, but I’m too tired to untangle that knot right now.
