Nothing wrong at approaching somone you like, introducing yourself and asking them out.
One tip… don’t use the words sexual harassment in the first sentance when meeting somone…
It’s not awesome to ask someone out when they’re working, but it’s not harassment unless it’s repeated.
Right, and while at work hahaha. Could you go up to anyone who looks less receptive? What is this comic, just ragebait?
Guys… its a fuckin joke… you’re reading into this comic too much
Except it’s becoming what a lot of people want. Jokes that hit too close to the sad truth aren’t funny, or interesting, or anything.
See? Right in these fucking comments. LMAO!
Again, the strip is a joke, and you and the person you are screen capping are taking it too seriously. Buddy hits on a cop terribly, buddy ends up in jail… thats the joke
I mean, no, it isn’t. It is if she says no and you keep at it.
No, it is.
Simply asking someone for their number is not harassment.
Repeatedly asking for someone’s number after being told no is.
There isn’t any nuance to this situation.
Telling someone they’re beautiful when they think you’re gross is creepy/harassment.
It’s okay to talk to women if you’re a male model but stay the fuck away if you aren’t. Got it.
Or a female model. I’m certainly not here to discourage lesbians!
“Saying ‘hey, beautiful’ to someone who thinks you’re ugly? Straight to jail. We have the hottest husbands in the world, because of jail”
You realize this comic was meant to be satirical, right?
Congrats, you’ve won the ‘Dumbest person of the Week’ award.
“when they think you’re gross”
How can I know if someone thinks I’m gross if I haven’t spoken to them yet? I should just assume I’m gross, always?
Usually when they get the torches out and organize the rest of the angry villagers I know that they don’t think highly of me.
That’s the fun part, you can’t. Don’t assume they think you’re gross, but do remember that you don’t know what they think.
Wrong, incel.
Or 3rd wave femanist. Hard to tell the difference sometimes 🤔
(For examples, head over to TwoXChromosones for nearly identical hot takes as the commenter above yours)
But if I tell them they’re beautiful and it turns out they think I’m gross I could go to prison for harassment! Am I really just supposed to roll the dice like that?
Harassment isn’t a crime, so you’re probably safe from prison.
Correct, but you won’t know if they think you’re gross until you talk to them. If you see that they think you’re gross, you stop. It’s harassment when you see that they think you’re gross but continue talking to them anyway, because at that point you know they aren’t going to respond well to you, and you’re just continuing on to spite them.
I ponder if people are comfortable expressing to someone they just meet that they find them gross? Hmm
My point is there often is nothing to see because that’s actively attempting to be hidden. Good normal decent people don’t like the feeling of giving people bad news already but when it’s bad news about something so personal and also recognizing that not everyone gets dealt the best hand in life?
It’s insane to put the entirety of responsibility to “read the room” on one person even if they are the initiator.
This is where social contract comes in. We all need a new modern social contract we can agree on to help us remove these barriers of interaction.
But i guess that’s the point of these types of works is to bring attention to that situation. It’s a valid observation i think, commentary on it aside for now
Well, if you’re actively trying to hide your disgust from someone, it’s because you don’t want them to know, at which point you obviously can’t expect them to react to it. Ultimately, it’s not about you trying to divine someone’s real feelings, instead it’s about reacting to what they do show you. It’s the responsibility of everyone who interacts with others in a public space to be knowledgeable about both verbal and nonverbal cues that someone’s not interested, so that they can display and/or recognize them as required.
As far as i can tell we said the same thing. I will admit i have a hard time figuring our how to explain what im thinking so im not attempting to blame anyone here
It’s the responsibility of everyone who interacts with others in a public space to be knowledgeable about both verbal and nonverbal cues that someone’s not interested, so that they can display and/or recognize them as required.
This is part of what i envision a new modern social contract would take care of
Hahaha
Thats how you go through life as a virgin.
Y
So you think it’s 100% cool to walk up to someone at work and start hitting on them?
It might not be cool, but it’s not sexual harassment, or illegal.
Sexual harassment isn’t a crime, and hitting on a coworker is textbook sexual harassment. You should probably talk to HR before you get yourself fired.
Although the officer is “working” they are in public
Depends on how you do it. The way it’s portrayed here is weird, because they use the “is it sexual harassment…” phrase and kinda belittle the problem of sexual harassment within society. Makes me think he’s an avid Andrew Tate fanboy. So it’d be an instant “thx goodbye” from me.
But if you just take the rest… I don’t think it’s harassment if you drop an honest compliment and ask for someone’s number.
Quiet, incel.
That’s not sexual harassment, but it is abuse of power lol
Abuse of power for a random guy at the DMV to ask out a cop?
Unless I’m missing an entire frame, this seems extremely unreasonable, likely illegal, even if that guy is a douche.
i think that’s the joke
The funny part is this comic pits misogynist douche against fascist enforcer.
Reminds me of how some communities in hick ass northern California came out in support BLM, because while they may hate black people, they hate cops even more.
She’s a cop, you think they need a legit reason to arrest someone?
Ooh Lemmy checklist
✔️ Cops bad [ ] Capitalism bad [ ] Windows OS bad
She is not a cop, she is a drawing, everything else is in your mind. Imagine arguing against Mona Lisa.
I just won 😎
All I’m saying is the amount of projecting in this comment section is staggering.
Probably the most pathetic cartoon I’ve ever been shown. Author needs real world experiences.
Yeah, it seems as if it was created by a “nice guy” incel. I don’t get it.
I smiled at her by the photocopier. Now I’m facing chemical castration.
It is the DMV. Pretty sure anyone smiling at the DMV is a psychopath.
Men is too headache
We really is.
Maybe don’t have your erect penis pressing against them when you ask?
Dude, the penis isn’t drawn, so we can’t tell how long it is, but if they somehow manage to press their penis against the cop from where they stand, that has got to be at least twice the current (alleged) world record…
I would say this is likely physically impossible.
It’s a joke. You really put some research into a comment reply to a fucking joke comment. Bravo
I mean… maybe don’t get 2.5 inches away from her face while rubbing your chest up against her shoulder?
Probably best not to club her on the head and drag her back to your cave either - at least, not without prior consent :-P.
Dang this comment section is depressing.
Welcome to lemmy. It’s all basement dwelling dudes.
That’s not true! My basement flooded.
