Re: too many gay couples
This is only a suggestion, and a suggestion of a mixed-species relationship at that. I wanted pure lizardmen representation and you have given me this? Shame on you, shame on your cow.

Re: too many gay couples
How well does this comic represent people having sex with their cows?

Re: too many gay couples
I just ran a meta analysis combining my recollection of reading the newspaper comics for the last 50 years, and the two statistical reports earlier in this thread.
Even if Zach were to include a gratuitous gay couple in every comic for the next 50 years, gay couples would still be underrepresented in the comic realm.

Re: too many gay couples
I might take it on to parse a larger amount of comics after work just for science. But I know there have been plenty of lesbians and plenty of homosexual relationships shown in a non sexual mannerBigWhoCares wrote:Ok, I was curious so I looked at comics from the last 5 months. This was counting people in relationships, or where there was a clear romantic/sexual attraction, where both were depicted in the comic.
Hetero: 10
Homo: 4
That's more than 25% of all relationships depicted as being homosexual, though this is a very small sample. One thing to note though is that all the homosexual relationships were between two males, and 3 of the 4 depicted them having sex. To me it seems that homosexual relationships receive different treatment to heterosexual relationships in this comic.

Re: too many gay couples
14.6% is overrepresenting. The actual number is prbably below 7%. And foerno is talking about normal couple situations , such as http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=4117Guest wrote:SMBC is a comic. Since there are more issues (psych, not political) towards homo- than heterosexuals, it stands to reason they would show up more often in comedy. Honestly, I'd say they are underrepresented.foerno wrote:SMBC population differs significantly from the general population
Re: too many gay couples
It is over-representing if you take into account the general population. If you take into account the amount of people that like this comic, the gay is probably much higher.
The over-representation that actually gets me is the amount of people depicted wanting to hook-up with nerds, when in real life they most often have to settle romancing pillows, robots, plastic figures and 2D cartoon girls.

Re: too many gay couples
If we were to edit out stereotypes from this thread it would be a lot shorter, I think.
Re: too many gay couples
There is an overepresentation of Satanist aunt with children and Otter People. Where is everybody when it's time to adress important social issues.
