More media needs to do this.

The character in view is one of the comic strip's protagonists, who is gay and somewhat obsessed with Transformers. He's a fictional character, but the convention and the question & answer are plucked from reality.

That answer from the Transformers: Prime panel went from “cute deflection” to “yikes” in about ten seconds.

Not familiar with the Transformers universe, so that third panel created a nice breeze as it flew over my head.

"glitch". I think I've just become incredibly angry.

Bartholomew · Jun 12, 2011

The media I'm referring to is the comic strip, not the creators of transformers, incidentally.

Caitlin Black · Jun 12, 2011

Yeah, I figured that. And it's good that the comic artist has given image to hurt feelings from prejudice.

But I'm still angry about that comment.

Did they... Did they really say that? Seriously?

I didn't really get it either, though a little time with Wikipedia helped a bit. That's a pretty screwed-up comment, but good on the comic artist for showing consequences to prejudice. Makes me want to read the comic (it's not one I'm familiar with).
