It’s a stereotype about women complimenting eachother while not actually meaning it. It’s a joke. Look at the upvote / downvote ratio. Most people get it. You’re in the minority here being offended by it. Recreational outrage so to speak.
Hey buddy, I think you’re projecting quite a bit here. I made a Bechdel test joke, and you got “recreationally offended” over it. Have a sense of humor man! It’s just a joke!
Was @pyre@lemmy.world’s comment not sufficient in this regard? If this is your first time getting misogyny defined for you, I think you need to branch out from Joe Rogan and try some media with women’s voices as a focus.
Since you need your hand held here, this is my perspective: this comic’s humor is just perpetuating a common, incorrect stereotype that women act nice to each other but actually hate each other. The punchline is secretly “women be bitches am I right?” and I believe this because if you swapped either or both of the characters in the comic out for men, it would no longer work as a joke.
Now funnily enough, I didn’t make my Bechdel test joke for the purpose of starting a debate with dudebros online. I’m sure you’ll find something in this comment to pick apart and continue sealioning, so here is your notice that I will not be replying further. Good luck on your journey of learning about feminism!
That user is on my blocklist so I haven’t seen their comment and I was asking you anyway.
incorrect stereotype
I’d argue it’s not, in fact, incorrect. Sure you can
say it is but that doesn’t really prove anything. Stereotypes stem from reality.
if you swapped either or both of the characters in the comic out for men, it would no longer work as a joke.
Ofcourse it wouldn’t. It’s a stereotype about women. If you made the same joke about men it wouldn’t be funny because it would be completely made up. Equivalent joke about men would be two guys being nasty and talking shit to eachother but neither actually meaning it.
Why is it deeply misogynistic?
Let me answer your question with a question: what do you think is the intended joke/humor of this comic?

You still haven’t explained what’s deeply misogynistic about this cartoon. Or was that a joke too?
