Too gay. I resent the idea that every female who looks somewhat masculine must be gay

pretty gay bitchy and niggerish

This is set in the 50's right? There's no way this would have happened.

>1950's gang aesthetic
>LGBT theme
this two things just don't go together
how fucking retarded do you have to be to fetishize a time where ppl like that got nothing but hate

I wanna fuck the chubby blonde

The thing is, they completely ignore the "accuracy" of the 50's for the sake of being fun.

There's been butch dykes in guy clothes much longer than that.

Too many fat chicks.
Also that artstyle so generic and awful. Decent might help it but that style on flats looks like shit.

It's called "fiction" guys. Using a particular aesthetic just to do it isn't exactly a new thing. Shallow but nothing to get your panties in a bunch over.

Honestly I could get into the idea of lesbians in a happy idealized version of the 50s but this seems a little too much like the pink ladies meet down with cis for me.

>Black character is one of the popular girls in the fucking 1950's, an era where the most studious and rule following nerds and rebel greasers could get along over a single thing, their desire to keep niggers out of their schools
>Open lesbianism in an era where electro shock therapy and in some cases fucking lobotomy were considered effective treatments against it
>That safe and sterile tumblr artstyle (you know the one, the one where they avoid just enough details to avoid having to draw anything that could be considered "offensive" and absolutely everything is a soft curve, no edges exist anywhere)
It's shit

don't defend it if you don't like red sonja or golden girl

>Open lesbianism in an era where electro shock therapy and in some cases fucking lobotomy were considered effective treatments against it
There have been openly homosexual celebrities of both sexes at the time. It's all about where you are and who you know.

I doubt greasers are always the most religious bunch.

Red Sonja is generally shit for reasons other than being historically inaccurate. What has that got to do with this anyway?

But is it irresponsible to depict points in history as being harmonious and culturally diverse when in reality many people suffered under the yoke of systematic oppression?

I think about these questions often. I think that's why straight white male protagonists are just easier - there is no struggle to make them "fit" at any point in history because they've always fit.

>there is no struggle to make them "fit" at any point in history because they've always fit.
What is Rhodesia?
What is South Africa?
What is Cold War Era Africa in general?

>But is it irresponsible to depict points in history as being harmonious and culturally diverse when in reality many people suffered under the yoke of systematic oppression?
Except everyone is already painfully aware of it, so depicting the small slice that wasn't full of suffering is actually a rather refreshing break from the norm.

I don't know why you expect a cartoon about delinquents to be model citizens of the era.

>But is it irresponsible to depict points in history as being harmonious and culturally diverse when in reality many people suffered under the yoke of systematic oppression?

No. Not every story has to be realistic.

get this shit out of here.

Looks like shit. Fake lesbians for the sake of being in the 'in crowd'

Funny thing is, all you gotta do is put it in [current year] and say their nips get hard for the 50s aesthetic. Problem solved.

bretty cute
>(gay noises)
and while it should offend me it doesn't

Most underground societies though, specially in America where the Mafia apparently ran many of the clubs congregated in

gay people have always existed i think

>I took a 1945-to-Now US History Course: The Post

>bump

>tumblr

You get one guess.

The one on the right is a man isn't it?

No

Why not have it be a fictional world where modern day aesthetic takes influence after the 50's rather than actually being the 50's. There's lots of fictional worlds that have the aesthetic of things like 70's patterns even though it's the future. Making it about a black gay chubby girl in the 50's who is popular and accepted by her peers while simultaneously posting on your website about how it's about progressiveness despite the time makes you actually look ignorant and like you wan to erase history because you're ashamed of it or something.

Or at least make it a point that this would be frowned upon and it's about not giving a shit about peer pressure or something. Make it a reason why it's specifically set in the 50's rather than, "I like that time period!" when they clearly don't since they're disrespecting the history behind it. 50's attire is one thing, but pushing that it's IN the 50's is another.

I never see any modern day sitcoms set in New York where the twin towers are still around with the creator going, "It's fiction! C'mon, it's fiction!". The only reason you would ever see it is in an alternate history world where that's the point.

Also why are so many artists copying Steven Universe art style now. It's getting annoying.

>first thing I see
well I'm done

This looks fucking retarded.

Looks like the same fucking soulless pastel gay agenda garbage we've all seen ten million times in this wretched fucking decade.

This
Tumblrites seriously need to start trying different artstyles, this soft curve pastel colour safe shit is boring as fuck.

That blonde chick is FATT

Great Gatsby user, you a such a stick in the mud. I don't like this shit either, but can you at least not preach your "muh realism" spiel here.

When did gay romance become the 'go to' for animated concepts?

UH OH!!!! LOOKS LIKE THE CREATOR IS AT AN UPSET!!! Are people not liking your steven univer lesbien agenda of a cartoon on Sup Forums of all places? d'awwwwwww.

I'm not preaching anything, man. It's just something I think about.

Yeah but on the other hand the comic is about a bunch of hoodlums. What makes them any more mainstream?

shit

HAHA that faggot fell in love with a fatass

...

to appeal to the tumblr crowd obviously

I thought about that too, but unfortunately, not the artist was self aware, too bad this concept can work, but I prefer authentically of the '50s

>I think that's why straight white male protagonists are just easier - there is no struggle to make them "fit" at any point in history because they've always fit.

I can get past the setting but everything else looks boring. Is it just a story about the budding romance between two lesbians or does other stuff happen not related to lesbianism? Now that I think about it that story could actually be more interesting if they set it in the actual 1950s.

it also has trans characters and bigenders and demisexuals and gray aromantics
