Having my significant other draw a gun on me would end the relationship. Should we both survive this encounter I would take fairly drastic action to make sure we never encounter each other again. I was once in a bit of a dry spell, and I decided to datamine my sex life up to that point to collate what kind of things lead to success, and the thing I realized was more than half of the women I had dated were violent with me. And because sitcoms think that woman slaps man is a punchline, I thought that was normal. I don’t accept violence out of a romantic partner anymore and this is a comic depicting a threat of extreme violence between romantic partners.
===
Now seeing that the art style gets more abstract in the last two panels, I won’t take the gun literally but more as “she lets it be known that she will make it a major problem if he doesn’t comply.” Whether it’s about her insecurities about her own looks or a desire to control his opinions, the fact that she’d rather threaten to scream or cry or pitch a fit or turn a cold shoulder or make him sleep on the couch or whatever if he doesn’t say what she wants him to say rather than talk about it…doesn’t really allow much room to build a future with this woman. He’ll probably stick around until she stops putting out, probably because she blew up about something.
===
On the third hand, there are ways to play this as flirty and fun, depends on your dynamic together. I strongly suspect the above isn’t that, but it can be done.
Content that is potentially polarising, allows for virtue signalling, allows judgement of a romantic relationship, meant to be lighthearted…this has a lot of elements to be very successful as internet posted content.
Only ways I can think of is adding in something about sex, weed and /or a dog.
Haha, this is funny, I wonder what Lemmy thinks

Much better than reddit I’ll give you that, you will be told that your relationship is toxic and you should end it

We should also unpack the problematic race representation of this comic
I’ll be in the bathtub with a toaster if anyone needs me.
