That's sweet! Thanks. My wife and I flip that role too. I think all couples might. :D Gocomics, sadly, no longer runs 'My Cage'. :(

2021-02-18 14:25:43 +0000 UTCMy favorite here is the last panel with Rage Bridget--I just sent it to my husband with the note "Happy late Valentine's Day or whatever! I think this is basically us". I did not acknowledge that which one of us is in which role often flips, since this depiction favored me. :-D This was on Facebook, so I was going to add a link to My Cage on GoComics, but apparently it's down?

2021-02-18 06:28:45 +0000 UTCI think this is a solid point. Also, there's a question of, oh what's a good word? I'll go with "graphicness". Like, my partner and I are very cautious about content, but after someone I like and consider a good parent vouched for it, we started watching The Mandalorian with our 6-year-old. The violence exists, people get shot (most of them are masked henchmen, though) and there are combat scenes, but it's has nothing gruesome or vindictive. And it's light in tone. Love scenes can really be rated the same way. Like, there are bedroom scenes in Wonder Woman 1984, but there's nothing explicit happening--just some kissing in bed and a cut to the next morning. Contrast that to, say, the first sex scenes I saw in movies--Titanic and Legends of the Fall. I don't want my kid seeing anything that vivid/titillating/erotic in nature before his teens. Of course I also don't want him to witness violence in the style of, say, Marvel's Daredevil. In fact I could barely stand the amount of torture that show depicted.

2021-02-18 06:19:07 +0000 UTCA few years ago, I came up with a reason that Americans, at least, tend to treat screen nudity more seriously than screen violence: We know on some level that the latter is usually fake, but the former isn't.
