Fun fact: Reddit's main sub for Questionable Content is actually a sub for hating on Questionable Content.

God, don't even get me started. There are people on there who genuinely think that dating a trans woman means that Marten is bi.

[-] Serdan@lemm.ee 19 points 11 months ago

Imagine expending any effort on hating a wholesome slice of life comic. Then imagine being a mod for a forum about that.

[-] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months ago

That doesn't seem terribly fun.

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 14 points 11 months ago

It's a fact that reinforces how much more fun being here is, though 🤷

[-] V17@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

I just looked through there and those alternate comics that they make are hilarious.

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 17 points 11 months ago

Isn’t that exactly what it means?

[-] yozul@beehaw.org 12 points 11 months ago

No. It means reapplying makeup. I guess facial powders aren't as popular as they used to be, but that is where the saying came from.

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 4 points 11 months ago

Depends on context, I guess 🤷

[-] lyam23@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I'm pretty sure it originated in the mid twentieth century and referred to touching up makeup.

Its been ages seince we got Brun. We need more of her and her harpoon

Dang, some years ago I read Questionable Content in its entirety. I stopped reading when Faye started dating Bubbles, because the page was blocked where I work. I want to read it again out of curiosity, but knowing that I need to read thousands of days just to catch up dampens my enthusiasm.

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah, it's very intimidating when you think about it in that way (I know from having been in the exact same situation as you are now), but once you get past that hurdle and just enjoy the comics for themselves, it's no big deal heh.

If you want to start again, I took the liberty of going through the fandom timeline and finding the approximate comic you were at 😁

[-] AnthropomorphicCat@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Thank you!

Also, oh gods, I'm two thousand days behind ._.

[-] Blyfh@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Just read 5 a day! You'll eventually catch up and there's no hurry.

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Well it definitely means that in some circles

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago

Jesus Christ I started reading this in high school…are we past just Martin, Faye and Pintsize??

[-] Signtist@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

They've got so many characters now that it's impossible to keep track of them all. Still a fun read, though. I check back every week or so.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 11 months ago

I always assumed "Powder my Nose" was girl for "I need to take a massive shit."

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 3 points 11 months ago

Probably often is lol
