I’m getting a bit tired of seeing boobs nonsensically attached to concepts/objects. It’s not like female coding characters is a sin per se, but I often find that the material would lose nothing in its absence. Like now—there’s an entire panel dedicated to showing their love. So why bother?

So yeah, I dislike it and also think it’s unnecessarily.

That said, if by “so we know it’s not a gay romance” you mean that to be the artist’s intent, I don’t see why that must be the case. Without looking into them, it seems just as likely that they could’ve simply not thought about it at all. Maybe they’re straight and just drew that. While it wouldn’t be LGBT+ inclusive, it needn’t necessarily be “so that people don’t think it’s gay.”

Hope I didn’t wildly misread or overanalyze your comment. You’re clearly not glad, but I can’t tell if you’re adding the last part for the sake of humor, or if you were bothered by what you believed to be a possible LGBT+ exclusionary depiction of romance.

Heh, your reaction is totally valid, I had the same thoughts when I was looking at the comic. I added “so people don’t think it’s gay” just to be funny, I don’t know anything about the artist. I was mainly drawing attention to the fact that–as you just said–nobody has to do this. We get the joke without the tits.
