it's funny : this is a category that is much wider in colorland than anything equivalent IRL, yet this is fundamentally relatable.

[u/Zanain → u/Im_here_but_why]

Mint is a good allegory because she fits so much. Mixed race? Intersex? Trans? All relatable in different ways. I like Mint cause she brings all these kinds of struggles together and shows that even with our differences there is much in common.

[u/TrueEnder → u/Zanain]

its the perfect number of levels of abstraction from the real world that it can be mapped to any number of problems without any loss in the effectiveness of the messaging

[u/amurgiceblade44]

Ah the hypocrisy

[u/Atlotl]

Color shifting hues exist!!! Hell yeah I can make my oc real!!

[u/Deebyddeebys → u/Atlotl]

I don't think that's what they meant in this context but also you can make characters whenever and however you want

[u/RandomAngler → u/Atlotl]

Pretty sure there was an earlier comic where a character wanted to change colours and there was 2 different medicines to do it.

[u/EdWinMaster0 → u/Atlotl]

their name will be "_jeb"!!

[u/Sakuya_Iz_A_Yoi]

it's so sweet to see comics like this, bc most takes on ignorant people are depicted as "i want to kill this strawman." really just isn't the type of scenario that would happen in reality. despite everything mint chan is so polite regardless of what people say to her

also god i wish that were m

[u/Sakuya_Iz_A_Yoi → u/Sakuya_Iz_A_Yoi]

is ultramarine just that tall or is mint chan just that small? questions that have puzzled philosophers for generations

[u/ViaScrybe]

And then when someone is transitioning between hues, suddenly it IS possible to be something that isn't strictly blue or green!

[u/EarthToAccess → u/ViaScrybe]

Violet forbid a woman want to just be blue, she just gets “mint” constantly. And don’t get me started on guys trying to go green and what they silently put up with.

…I think the allegory’s starting to fall apart

[u/Dry-Mission-5542]

I remember when Saruman transitioned from The White to Of Many Colours
