Ben has to be bi-questioning at this point. He can't help himself but draw these guys like this. Remember his obsession with Jack from Twitter and his midriff?
Come to think of it, even stonetoss comes off as gay, and he has admitted to being a furry too. And he's at least the only semi-smart fashcomic, everyone else is just batshit insane.
Leftism: We tell the right they have permission to be themselves and they will never forgive us for not hating them for their so-called shortcomings
I've got a lot of stuff still internalized about weakness, strength, and identity, so I will say when you are trying to suppress something and someone encourages you to release it it can be maddening. Because you think it makes you weak or a failure, and they're encouraging it. It's like offering alcohol to someone recovering from addiction. The main difference is that what they are holding back is not bad. It took me a long time to get the voice saying adhd was an excuse out of my head, and understand people saying I might have it were not insulting me or telling me I was weak or trying to weaken me, but showing me what they thought was true. I am pretty good at making space for other people and silencing judgement against them internally, but I still hold myself to a lot of things I know I shouldn't. I have the knowledge and will to change, if I didn't it would just be pain and anger.
