i know barely any of my followers besides besides gangler actually read Dumbing of Age so i need to explain that this is not like, the first big gay pairing in this story. There's been like a dozen queer pairings in this comic. Many, many of the main cast are queer as hell and either dating or circling each other in weird situationships. Dumbing of Age is a comic with a lot of queer characters, despite how it might look at first glance.

No, what makes Joyce and Dorothy in particular so earth shaking is

They are 2 of the biggest main characters and the 2 who have always been the "definitely 100% straight" ones until the last few years of comics ramped us up from subtext to text.

Joyce in particular started out as a conservative homophobe whose entire character arc has been her growing out of her bigotry and so its wild to think of how far we've come that she might kiss a girl in the next strip

Them actually getting together in these circumstances is a tactical nuke of a drama bomb that could obliterate and rearrange the entire web of social relationships in this comic for years to come.

15 FUCKING YEARS OF SLOWBURN BUILDUP HOLY SHIT
