Ah thanks, I never tried to embed an image before in a comment. I updated mine since I also swapped out the image earlier to show the full reference/context

Of course he isn’t, him being naked and blue and destroying the other person with a finger point is in reference to Dr Manhattan.

I’m not entirely sure but it might be a Watchmen reference.

Edit: now I’m sure. Referenced panels linked in another comment

I wish they would do that for me because the A or B questions are so anxiety inducing. I just want to see properly, not take a test where struggling to give the right answer means I don’t get to see as clearly as I could otherwise

I know it’s not the point of the joke but

Father’s brother’s nephew, assuming the father doesn’t have any other siblings, would mean a sibling of the person in question. Then cousin would mean a child of the father’s brother (uncle).

If the father has additional siblings, the end result is still just a cousin or sibling of the original person in question’s roommate. Not very many steps removed compared to how it originally sounds :p

Edit: this is assuming the uncle isn’t married and has in-laws with a nephew on that side, which I didn’t think about originally. So it could be not circling back on itself but hey I already wrote the comment so

Consider that people before transition are not necessarily any different from any other people. You can have very racist, transphobic, alt-right people secretly harboring trans feelings themselves. Sometimes people will turn to those spaces as a coping mechanism and then they become entrenched and invested in the communities. Just because they eventually finally accept their transness doesn’t mean they’re willing to let go of it entirely or the personality archetype they’ve developed as a part of it. If they leave it entirely just because they transitioned , they may not have another community they feel enough a part of to fall back on. Everyone needs and wants some sort of feeling of community even when it isn’t good for them. It can be very hard to break out of toxic spaces when it’s the only space you know and it’s practically defined you as a person, sometimes for most people’s adult lives

It looks to me like it’s making fun of the really bad brain worms that permeate the trans 4chan community. There’s a very specific type of brain wormed in-group jargon being made fun of here. The orange stick figure is saying they’ll never be orange but we can clearly see they’re just… orange. The brain worms are so bad that they believe even while being orange, they aren’t actually. The green stick figure, not being involved with the community or perspective of it, is a representation of the few people trying to break the brain worms within the community. The author knows exactly where the terms being parodied come from and wrote it for that audience

It’s the kind of thing that’s utterly incomprehensible to anyone who isn’t familiar with 4tran or tttt
