#bcb

You ever think that, together with their ribbons, Lucy and Sandy can be the trans flag?

Honestly when I was a lot younger i loved bcb and related to Lucy a LOT in terms of how bitter you can get when the people you care about endlessly sexualize you, and the way that inhibits you from showing genuine, unguarded interest in the person/people you're actually attracted to. It manifests in really unhealthy behavior and while Lucy isn't perfect I understood. A long standing issue of the bcb community is that they very much do not understand. Especially in more recent years i've sat back and watched the woobification of male characters who either took advantage of Lucy at her low points or completely destroyed her to the point of nearly ending her own life in the biggest climax of the earliest parts of the comic. Mike is the worst example of this but Paulo also comes to mind. When a female character does something in the comic the community is far less charitable and so too is the comic. It's very disappointing. I also really think it's weird that Lucy's abusive behavior (the comic was very much created during the "it's funny and cute when women are violent!" period of the internet and it shows) has escalated this way when Paulo and David's sexual harassment and assault in the early days of the comic especially have been quietly forgotten about.
