Great style and angsty vibes but I couldn't look past the homophobic jokes and use of the r-word. Made the "humor" seem very dated.

This is a very character-focused story with subtle themes involving being disenchanted by society's norms while falling under the pressure of those norms. I will definitely be going back over this one to really pick out the details! It's definitely not for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and will continue to enjoy it as I go over the story again before rewatching the movie. I was completely enamored by the clear discussion of compulsory heterosexuality in this, but that is certainly not the only norm being criticized here.

There are a number of problematic things throughout the comic, but most of them are a reflection of the character's insecurities with her own identities (you can see the CWs for specifics on that)
