This is because the original comic was just actual transphobia, so if you’re going off vibes some yikes elements are going to bleed through. The joke is that the comic is subverted by being no longer transphobic.
i definitely get how it reads a lot worse as an original comic rather than a low effort edit of a transphobic one to make it less bad! i still don’t think it’s chaser shit, and i think it’s important to recognize that trans people can be in sexual contexts without it being inherently fetishistic, but the lingering remnants of transphobia from the original do still show, so i’m sympathetic to your pov

Yeah, the original probably has the second panel be the guy shitting himself and dying or something
What passes for “comedy”
