This isn't as much of a sin, plenty of animated characters do this in modern times, especially anime, mostly just to help with character expression since the faces are more simplistic and aren't as expressive as a human face with all its various muscles to give you cues.
I think you might be confusing Frank with Hamza, who is probably around Virgil's age.
Hey look, an old comic that contradicts what he says now. I'm sure that's never happened before.
I sort of accept that as a drawing convention in simplified cartoons, since they're usually intermittently visible between the strands of hair IRL. The lower eyelid thing though had zero excuse.
Okay ... once again, but with feeling this time... WHAT FUCKING SHOW? COME ON! TELL US! Because I can't think of a single thing on TV in the past decade that would be popular enough to hold LaBitchboy's interest long enough to get his panties in a twist over. Nor can I think of one that was "problematic" and "transphobic".
I feel spectacularly terrible for having been born in a female body and subjected to a lifetime of fucked up expectations and micro- and meso-aggressions from everyone to landlords to random strangers to romantic partners to family members. Yes, so terrible. Anyway, how's the weather where everyone is?
So sorry I love my dick and can actually get people to have sex with me willingly.
I just realized that Hamza is probably going to be ruined in one of these terrible rewrites. On the bright side I can't wait for strips like the ones below to be redrawn because they show Labelle's nonsensical ideas of history on full display:
I like how Labelle pretty much admits with this strip that she wants for all of mankind's achievement to be reversed in order to send us back into the dark ages of superstition in which she revered as a god, and any who dissent are labeled as heretics and cast out of society.
"We wuz goddesses and sheeit."
There is a small kernel of truth here in that in some tribes, the berdache/two spirit was seen as having special shamanic powers. In some tribes the 2s would ritualistically suck the dicks of the warriors before battle or a big hunting trip. Some tribes also had proscriptions against people of different sexes talking to each other and the 2s was able to transcend this. In some places, the 2s was seen as lucky or bringing good fortune, probably due to the ability of the 2s to focus on food and creation of material goods without worrying about babies. Huge swaths of North America had no such concept, and in other places the anthropology is murky. A lot of the people who knew how shit was Back In The Day weren't super excited about some white asshole showing up in 1890 like "Tell me about your gays."
Why do you think they treat science as a religion? It's a keystone of their fantasy that if they worship at the altar of technology they can receive boons from the science gods that allow them to change gender.
I think you'll find they find science transphobic and eugenist. They like psuedo-science.
Unlike White guilt, colonial guilt, and any number of other fashionable guilts, "cis guilt" does not even subjectively exist outside of LaBelle's imagination.
