          Don’t worry, I did the same thing by accident a few days ago to someone – accidentally misclicked on “flag” because I was half-asleep at the time. Apparently there’s a threshold of Flags that need to be received before a post is manually assessed, so it’s all cool. 🙂

          And yeah I was gonna comment the same thing about the sudden sexy leer in the final panel. But the adorable Dinah to me is even sexier than than sexy leering Dinah, so… 🙂

      that’s generally how low self esteem works. people who grew up without any notion of their own worth are going to have trouble seeing it, and for girls a lot of that worth is centered around appearance and attraction because we’re not really raised to think of ourselves as much else.
      at least, we weren’t. maybe things are changing for younger generations. i hope.

      Keep in mind that she previously had been in love with Joyce. Her awakening is a story that ends in complete rejection, which, that’s rough. Dina’s been great for her, but between that, losing her mom and everything that happened with her dad, she probably has some complexes about rejection and abandonment.

      I don’t think Becky has ever heard of grey-a/demisexuality or the split attraction model before. And as a baby queerdo coming out from under a religion-sized boulder that’s been on her chest half her life, it’s understandable that she might be worried that Dina’s lack of constant sexual attraction could be a reflection of her romantic attraction.

          And which did jennifer not see as real? I slightly remember her sayin something in that vein but don’t remember specifick details

            Actually the sexuality Jennifer does not acknowledge as real is her own.

            Her model of sexuality basically goes that she is normal, and normal is heterosexual, so she is heterosexual, so heterosexuality includes same-sex attraction, so bisexuality doesn’t exist (except in porn).

            “You can’t like boys and girls. Is there even a word for that?” Becky, at least according to a quote on TVTropes that doesn’t come with a link, and I don’t have time to source it properly right now. (Also, Danny said much the same thing but Dorothy set him, for want of a better word, straight.)

              Becky learned from Sierra what bisexuality is and even more recently was supportive of Ruth dating Jason if it made her happy. Becky is just dismissive of heterosexual relationships and bisexuality which can sometimes be read as kind of obnoxious but she acknowledges their existence maybe even more than Joyce does considering Joyce threw a minor fit at Ruth and Jason dating.

      Isn’t it kinda the joke online that Lesbians are so dense when it comes to girls liking them that they could be kissing and then stop mid way and ask “Wait, so you like me, right?”, I have seen memes about it everywhere in the LGBT Meme reddits and stuff.

          Come on, it’s Dina. She has a replica raptor claw (scientifically exact in size and form) which she runs over your skin at a carefully calculated pressure to balance pain and pleasure.

    I love this side of Dina. Yes, there’s a sexiness component, naturally, but honestly, it’s as much that it’s her showing a playful side that Becky brings out in her. It’s easy to see what Becky’s getting out of the relationship, but I love that we can see that Becky’s still the girl who brought Dina out from hiding under her hood at the party.

          Maybe? That’s the only thing I can think of too, but simply being insecure isn’t something that warrants forgiveness, at least not in my book. Blaming your partner for making you feel insecure might be, but I don’t think Becky did that.

        This was a couple days ago so you probably won’t see this, but it wasn’t really insecurity or trust issues, no. It’s kind of hard to articulate why. I guess I see a pattern in this relationship where what Dina wants comes second to what Becky wants, and because this is being written as the cute or relatively healthy queer relationship compared to Ruth/Billie and whatever other hot messes are currently going on, I guess it bugs me to see that… not really being addressed? Like maybe it’s a writing accident or maybe Dina really is just that chill about everything, but especially given her history in other comics, I’m worried she’s being accommodating to the point of self-sacrifice.

        Sometimes one partner has more issues than the other partner, and that’s fine, but it doesn’t feel like there’s anyone watching Dina’s back, including Becky, who seems like she’s dealing with too much baggage to be able to try to model Dina’s point of view, and Dina herself, who seems fully focused on Becky’s issues. This could change; someone could check in with Dina tomorrow and have a conversation where the difficulties of the relationship are acknowledged but Dina’s okay and we get to hear why she’s okay, and I would probably still not love Becky but I wouldn’t think that Dina was being kind of unintentionally exploited.

        I guess this particular incident feels like a continuation of that pattern, and also reminds me of some LGBT intracommunity dynamics that bother me in general – the bi partner has to prove to the lesbian partner that she’s not really into some guy in order for her attraction to the lesbian partner to matter, even though Dina’s really clear that Joe isn’t a threat. Becky clearly isn’t trying to be shitty about this and isn’t putting Dina in that position on purpose, but that doesn’t make it not off-putting to me.

        For the record, I don’t believe fictional relationships have to be healthy for it to be okay to portray them or to portray them positively, and I believe the range of what’s healthy for real relationships is a lot wider than many people like to think, especially when neurodivergent individuals are involved. It’s just that if something in fiction feels like it’s being presented as if it’s supposed to be more wholesome than the other things going on around it, I have higher standards for that thing?
