Who even gives a shit about body count? As long as things are STD-free, it’s all good
I believe it is the lying that little dude is concerned about…
Case in point: she might also be lying about those STDs that she “totally” checked for (like AIDS) and “definitely” does not have, wink.:-P
As someone else said, the real answer is that this is a comic.
We don’t really know from the OP whether they have been together for an hour, day, week, month, or even year (and he just never found the hoodies box yet?). Irl women are stigmatized with “slut shaming” for having multiple partners, and while men get stigmatized too this is not one of those ways. So irl she might have kept it from him until she was sure that he was mature enough to handle the truth. Although she could have also used it as a test - if he were a toxic masculinity believer, better for her to know the truth right away and get far away from him?
So there’s deep stuff contextually related to this… but this is a newspaper comic community, so it is unclear how deep most people really wanted to get into the deep analysis of its backstory, unlike e.g. political memes where that is more the point.
Oh ah… I mean, b/c hers is bigger than his. :-P
I’m definitely not interested in someone who refers to their sexual partners as their body count.
Apparently slut shaming is still a thing in the current year of our Lord.
Not certain it’s slut shaming so much as addressing lying. She told him 3 guys, when the mountain of stolen sweaters, and her profuse sweating implies it was more than three. I don’t care about body count and I’m uncertain if the author does, but this joke is still funny if you don’t care about body count.
Except for the little thing that the slut shaming was done earlier. When he asked her what her body count was. That’s when the slut shaming happened and she avoided the repression by lying.
Or maybe I just don’t get the joke. PS: Maybe she’s a shoplifter?
Apparently saying “of our lord” is still a thing in this blessed noodle year.
Oh, you think I only steal hoodies from people I boned. Joke’s on you, no hoodie is safe in my presence.
The explanation is simple: shoplifting
To be honest, I’m somewhat even a fan of it. There’s that whole crowd of folks who say inhumane shit and also that they need “free speech” (which has nothing to do with actual free speech). If those stay away from here, because they can’t write removed, then I’ll gladly read a few removeds.
