Its pretty easy from our out of verse pov but imagining it in-universe it’s just two blond white girls in non-descript outfits with bright red blotches covering their face due to the teargas. It’s pretty reasonable to assume Daisy wouldn’t recognize them. Especially given the photo was taken from behind Joyce and by proxy hides both of their faces a good amount
Listen, it’s important to bring attention to the real issue on campus: GIRLS KISSING.
Cimorene
Girls kissing does seem antithetical to a fascist and brutal police response to a peaceful campus protest.
HueSatLight
not that protest
Cimorene
At its root there is too much fascism is attacking to not look at the intersectonality of what is going on in society. Colonialism, Evangelical Christianity, genocide, homophobia, racism, transphobia, etc. It all goes hand in hand. Existence is resistance and love wins over fear.
The image could have been cops beating the snot out of college students and hyped up the fear and hopelessness. Daisy went with girls smooching. It might’ve been a horny choice, but it also feels like a middle finger to the college and police for supporting genocide.
Not to backseat, but I feel like this indignation towards Daisy would be more justified if we saw something else more “appropriate” happening at the protest. Like, what was Daisy *supposed* to go with? People holding signs? Once the cops shot tear gas everyone just kind of left, that we saw. The only one injured was Amazi-girl, and no one saw that. The only things that happened besides the kiss were people holding signs (boring), Joyce getting arrested (needs context), Amazi-Girl attacking a cop (looks bad unless you already think the school is wrong), and people walking away from tear gas (makes the tear gas look like a reasonable way to clear the field)
Joyce and Dorothy kissing was certainly the most interesting image from the *comic’s* perspective, so why isn’t it the most interesting in-universe? It’s even in the best interests in the protest itself to be represented by photogenic nonthreatening white women being tear-gassed for seemingly no reason.
interesting =/= moral. I’ve said it before, the people in these iconic protest images tend to end up assassinated by the state. joyce and dorothy aren’t in that much danger from a college paper, but on top of outting them to the public, Daisy has made them the local public enemy #1, the faces of the anti-establishment movement of this college. The two of them have become acceptable punching bags for the entire pro-genocide portion of the campus and town.
“Good journalism” often correlates to having direct, pronounced harm on individual people.
cain
i probably would’ve gone with a photo of the heavily armed riot police throwing tear gas, if anybody captured one.
“acceptable”? no. but striking and important, and nobody would’ve been pinpointed as “definitely was at the protest”
zee
Also a cute, small, Aryan dream of a white girl in glasses getting forced to the ground by riot police with the headline “Students brutalized in peaceful protest” would be very striking and resonate with a lot of Americans I feel. Like Joyce fits the exact visual demographics that would make the largest number of people mad about this (unfortunately).
Cimorene
Only in so much that Joyce has been traumatized by so much and I think the readers are ready for a queer joy story.
When Daisy isn’t thinking with her legs she’s actually a serious and relatively competent journalist and editor, but I am quite surprised that we didn’t open with the horny side before moving into the serious side.
As I said on Patreon, c’mon, Joyce, other people hate lying too! Have the talk! Be the Joyce I love, not the Joyce who sometimes makes me feel like when I am forced to watch my cat throw litter out of the litterbox in the process of burying her Word Replace!
I don’t think they’re in a polycule at all until they sit down and agree to it, which even Joyce hasn’t done. Joyce has put that conversation on hold until they figure out how much danger the two of them are in, and is probably only now realizing Dorothy is assuming things that didn’t happen. But right now this second is *not* the time for that.
I feel like them mutually coming to the decision to break with their boyfriends to be with each other (because they cheated on them) is a bit different than Dorothy unilaterally deciding Joyce is hers. If anything, Joyce seems to have unilaterally decided Dorothy is *hers*, what with her yoinkage and gloating at Walky.
I wanna say the new question is how the headline knew to make a bi pun if the two kissers were unidentified at the time
But, err, I have been acquainted with more bi women than lesbians, so maybe that was the actual safer guess?
She didn’t intentionally out them; she didn’t recognize them. Aside from not letting Dorothy walk all over her, what is she doing in this strip that is so objectionable?
I mean regardless of who exactly was in the picture, there was a nonzero chance she’d be outing them unless she could verify who it was, which clearly she did not. That’s irresponsible at best and as a lesbian herself she should know that.
Dot
If you’re making out in an extremely public place, a reasonable assumption can be drawn that you are already out, or that you are outing yourself at that moment. Of course, that assumption was wrong, but you get the point.
Shiro
Oh I don’t think that’s a safe assumption to make about college students in particular at all. But maybe that’s informed by my personal history (gay, lotta gay friends, almost none of us were out to our families bc lol red state)
Dot
Sure but how many of them made out in the middle of an extremely highly publicized public protest?
Shiro
That’s fair, I just wish Daisy would be more aware of…most things, honestly
Nymphie
If you do anything that stands out at a protest and there are photografers, you’re gonna get snapped by a journalist.
One man was sitting in front of the police during the protest in gothenburg over NRM being allowed to demonstrate. I went and sat down next to him in solidarity, it might have been a five second window between him and i being the only one sitting and ten others joining, but some photografer managed to get a shot of just the two of us sitting in front of a line of police. Apparently being a
young white woman with pink hair in solidarity to an elderly coloured man was photoworthy.
Big Z
Hell, based on some of the stuff that got published in my own college’s daily paper, you could leave the “at a protest” out of your first paragraph.
Big Z
This is one of those things that I wonder if it’s generational — back when I was in college (the 1990s), there was very little “I’m out on campus but not back home” going on — the only LGBTQ+ folks doing stuff in public were the ones who were “out and proud”, and almost by definition you could assume that if someone was being gay/trans in public, they were okay with it being public knowledge.
Dot
I’m only 30 and was at college in the 2010s and this was definitely how I perceived things. If you’re doing things in public, you’re out by definition.
Megan
that is a deeply, truly, indescribably incorrect assumption to make about people, and it is a wonder you have not only somehow internalized that lie to yourself, but have typed it out and saw nothing wrong with it before hitting send.
being out to the people in your immediate vicinity does not mean you’re out to your family or the campus or the police or the entire world. like that’s just not how being out operates for anybody ever. no one is assuming their moments of intimacy, even ones had in public spaces, are going to be photographed and recorded for literally everyone else to see at a later date.
Dot
There’s a difference between kissing someone on a park bench and in the middle of a protest in the process of being shut down by police, and I would thank you to tone down the moralizing grandstanding. I’m just as gay as you or anyone else, and us having a difference of opinion on what counts as being out does not give you the right to talk down to me.
Megan
No, I’m actually the gayest one in these comments per capita. I detransitioned for a day just to fuck that one guy’s dad, I’m basically as gay as humanly possible.
zee
Hey? Hey? Megan? Hey? Imma need that story Megan, you can’t just drop that shit and move on Megan. Imma be thinking about this all day
Opinion
I mean by that same logic you could say they could never print a picture that contained PDA because they have a “non-zero” chance of revealing cheating, or showing a relationship that people wouldn’t approve of. Or if you continue that train of logic they couldn’t show pictures of anyone because they could be outing someone as transitioning.
At some point the onus has to be on the individuals that if you are doing something in public there is a chance people will see you.
Shiro
I mean honestly I do think photos containing PDA should probably be run past the people in them before being printed in the newspaper. Most photos of people who aren’t known public figures, in fact. I get that that’s not viable in some situations but I genuinely think the state of personal privacy these days sucks shit in a lot of ways.
deliverything
I find no flaw in your argument, as known public figures (such as CEOs at Coldplay concerts) aren’t protected.
Megan
you shouldn’t be publishing pictures of people at protests, full stop. this is known, having your face out at a protest is like hanging a sign from your neck that says “I hate cops, shoot me shoot me shoot me.” Every modern protester knows this, we all know to wear masks whenever physically possible if we don’t want to become politicians or targets overnight. These college kids are all dumb idiots in a fictional comic and are doing it wrong, but they all knew they were in danger by being there, even in this light and fluffy retread of the brutal reality.
Taking pictures of people’s faces when they’re at protests is basically just putting out a hit on private citizens, and Daisy is a thoughtless brute for doing that to people she knows. Do I think the comic will explore the realistic consequences of that? LORD do I HOPE not!!! In real life, would Joyce and Dorothy have to change their names and move out of the country to ever be safe again? Prrrrrobably!
Tobias
“pictures of people at protests shouldn’t be published” is not an idea that’s gonna gain much support from the people who care about whatever they’re protesting, just an FYI, since posting pictures of people protesting is often a pretty vital component of that protest accomplishing anything. For many modern protests, it’s literally the only point of having the protest at all, the only bit of it that might accomplish anything.
Megan
Pictures of protests with multiple people too zoomed out to make out distinctly, or of police in response to those people, or simply with the public’s faces obscured, or of just the journos in the streets themselves, are all not only possible but are things that are becoming more and more common as more and more journalists start to actually care about the people they report on.
The point of a protest is not to Look Good. It’s to show people in power what public opinion is and what we’re capable of if policy does not change. It’s about protecting your community, making people feel safer, and fighting back against oppression. It’s about standing up to cops where everyone can see so that cops know what’ll happen if they try this shit where no one can see.
IDK where you grew up or who taught you your politics, but your and several others’ view that protests are just a costume you put on to look good on social media so that you can have the *effect* of having done something is not conducive of real change. No one cares that you posted good pics of something, politicians aren’t gauging acceptable behavior via posts and articles, they care that a crowd of people is in the streets outside their mansion. They care that even under threat of military violence, those people will continue to stand up for themselves. They care about being outnumbered.
You don’t protest genocide because it looks good, you protest genocide because its the right thing to do, because if the people in charge don’t change on their own, we can make them change as a society.
That doesn’t require publishing random gay teens’ faces on the internet.
Tobias
Right, so your argument basically amounts to you not knowing what protests are or how they can accomplish things or what makes them more or less effective. From that point of view, I can see how pictures like this would seem to be bad! If a protest is just empty virtue signalling and meant to be functionally meaningless, like you’re arguing, then obviously the sensible side goal would be to minimize any possible risks to the protestors.
But here, let me help: The protest displayed in the comic is purely an image protest. There’s no implicit threat, no show of power, and no leverage to act on any demands. Image protests are worthwhile solely because of their ability to impact public sentiment – to win converts to the movement and support for the cause – and historically the best way to do that is through humanizing and personalizing them. For an extremely important historical example, see Rosa Parks, who was part of one of the most effective image protests in history.
There are certainly types of protests where having the identity of protestors kept secret makes sense – an image protest definitely isn’t one of them.
Megan
Tobias you are a genuinely disturbing person.
Tobias
I assure you that the feeling is extremely mutual, “genuinely disturbing” is how I feel about most of the things you say here.
ESM
It wasn’t like Daisy was taking creepshots, the kiss was part of a protest intentionally designed to get media attention, and (gross headline aside) if the point of the protest was to get photos of the school cracking down on sympathetic students for expressing an opinion and thus build support for said opinion, Daisy did *WAY* more to oppose the genocide than Joyce and Dorothy standing in the background would’ve.
Nadamás
Just because you repeat it doesn’t make it any more true.

Clif
I believe that if you look at the backgrounds, Amazigirl attacked more than one cop. She also vandalized a fence, and helped “criminals” escape. You can see her taking on two cops in the background of https://www.dumbingofage.com/2025/comic/book-15/04-the-only-exception/panorama/

Come on, Joyce. You’ve got to tell Dorothy that she’s in a polycule now.
Alongcameaspider
Its likely on her to do list, right below important things like getting her comic into the Sunday edition
C.T Phipps
I’m sure Dorothy will be ecstatic.
Dorothy just has to cover up her eyes from seeing the Joe bits when watching them bang.
Shiro
Fortunately, watching each other fuck is not typically part of a hinge relationship!
C.T Phipps
Joyce will undoubtedly be surprised by this.
I assume she also believes Dorothy and Joe will share one big bed.
The Lurker
A waterbed!
Throwatron
she needs more spouses to stack on top of her for maximum smoosh
Spriteless Aunty

Point of order: As the plural of “mouse” is “mice”, the plural of “spouse” is “spice”.

Which is why Dorothy is very interested in Joe’s spice rack
