The secret to this is realizing that people who mention how bad something you did is are the corrupters to try to get you to do worse. “You already did this, anon, why not try something more?”
A lot of us have *been here*, including the "angry at any and everyone who suggests it's unhealthy, because *I'm a big girl who can make my own choices*" stage
Hey Brie, this is very worrying and upsetting and I'm going to make a load of assumptions about your past and relationship and then foist a bunch of patronizing concern onto you and through that imply that you are an ignorant victim with no ability to self-reflect. Luv ur comix!!🩷🩷
I read through a bunch of replies and gathered from context that this is satire!!!!! i might be stupid, but at first i thought the framing of the comic agreed with "you're childish and i'm a stoic" but perhaps i should have picked up on that not being the case, or, i think it's not the case. am dumb
I think the problem with stoicism is that people didn't actually read the source material and base their understanding of the concept off of tik tok reels or similar.
Its also a joke abou anxiety where the supposed person in a situation of power is worried about her being a bad person for what she does even if theres nothing wrong stablished (as age gaps between adults srent inherently bad)
the comic says they're in a relationship, and that one of them has been 18 for less than a month, the chances of it NOT being grooming are astronomically low.
lol this happened four years ago, i’m completely fine now and i just like to joke about things because it CAN be funny. the absurdity is in how bad the situation was.
This randomly came up in my feed and was extremely concerning, but it's a relief to know it's in the past. I hope you're doing well. I think art is a good way to work through that.
Only if their relationship is a circumstance, if the older or younger partner saught the other out (especially before the younger partner is of age), then it'd be problematic. But yeah, people fall in love in weird situations, and that's entirely okay.
there's plenty wrong with it. something being legal doesn't make it ethically good and I would be extremely wary around anyone in their 30s dating an 18 year old
So hi I am true chaotic neutral and in my 30s, this is kinda grey. The 18 year old is still changing and growing, the 30 year old should is not at fault but neither should get into a monogamous or exclusive relationship, friends either benefits is your best course of action

Like, none of them good, but its movin at the speed of light
It's good to hear you are well. Glad you're starting to use more colors in your comics.

Not to say brie considers herself a victim, but the context of this joke is specifically how "not good" the situation is regardless.
It'd mean the same thing
