A possible interpretation if this is the only Jucika comic you’ve read.
The pattern is: First frame: Man sees Jucika. Last frame: Man does incredibly generous thing for Jucika. And it’s always a man and it always happens almost instantly.
Many that ive seen actually involve men annoying her or her somehow being inconvenienced by men. Ive seen a bunch that are about her interacting with other women, often involving men who are being annoying or creepy. The kind of interaction shown in this strip seems to be kind of rare by comparison.
I also fail to see your outrage over it. Who says he did it because he thinks shes hot? He just seemed to feel badly for her cause she was tired at work and wanted to let her rest. Any inference over his intentions is just that, your own inference.
Pretty privilege undoubtedly exists, and it’s often invisible to the pereson who is providing it, though it is painfully obvious to anyone who has lived in states of being pretty and not pretty at varying times of their lives. Jucika fans seem to be particularly blind to it and that’s really what my outrage is about.
We respect the elegance Jucika and do anything to please her every whim and comfort without expecting a goddang thing in return
I’m not at all surprised at the level of disconnect there is among Jucika fans. I should probably stop reading and commenting on these like everyone else with a lick of human understanding would.
I’m reminding of a comment on a video of Anne Margaret’s Bye Bye Birdie. Something along the lines of, “This is when woman had class and didn’t whore themselves out,” weirdly unaware that his own childhood lust for Anne Margaret was likely triggered by her shaking her large boobs inside her sweater.
Edit: Here she is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsQabalLI0w It’s hella fun to watch and she’s a great performer, but obviously she is selling some sexuality.
What part of this is sexual to you?
The ‘large boobs’ thing isn’t gonna fly either
Wtf are you talking about? She shook her (perfectly average-sized) boobs for like a split second, once, toward the end of that video.
I get that people were more prudish in those days, but characterizing that video as a woman “shaking her large boobs inside her sweater” sounds like the talk of someone who thinks literally everything a woman does is sexual. We can’t even shimmy once in a 3-minute performance without someone thinking we’re “whoring ourselves.”
I’m not saying Ann Margaret is whoring herself out any more or less than anyone else, just that sexuality is often part of performance, and those standards change over time. What I object is to people pretending like sexuality isn’t a factor in appeal, especially when these boomers are disparaging younger performers.
You just seem like a joyless husk.
I literally just linked an Ann Margaret video because it is quite lovely and joyful; it is also, however, very sexy.
yeah do that
Yeah, I usually enjoy Jucika but there’s no denying that the majority of strips are essentially “Pussy Pass: The Comic”.
