    No just using the actual Shakespeare quote. Quotes, much like comics, have underlying meanings. The quote uses a gendered word sure but implies that if someone, be it a guy, gal, nonbinary pal, who reads too deeply into something and makes a large post attempting to prove a comic which itself is pretty clearly misogynistic is not, perhaps they have a bit of a guilty conscience that they laughed at it. A guilty conscience needs no accuser and all that.
    I’m confident enough in my assessment. Just because it’s a stereotypical relationship comic doesn’t mean it’s not inherently perpetuating misogynistic undertones. We can do better. If encouraging people to do better offends them enough to make such a stink that’s on them.
