Spicy gay is the best kind of gay >:3

This is the first time I've seen Foxes In Love strongly allude to their homosexuality. It's well known that these two foxes are canonically gay, but the comics are usually more subtle about it, to the point where you likely wouldn't know that the foxes are both male if you stumbled across a strip or several without context. I think that there's alot of value in that; it portrays homosexuality as perfectly natural and normal, as it is. I also think that the sublety gives the comic more broad appeal than it would if it was more blatant and obvious. Let viewers figure it out for themselves over multiple comic strips rather than tell them outright.

This isn't the first strip to do so - post #2212866 is very blatant about it, moreso than this strip. And there are a few strips which touch on LGBTQ+ subjects.

But otherwise it is very subtle about discussing it.

Yeah, it's the subtlety that really sells this. A fuckton of media in the 90's and early 2000's that had gay characters pretty much made that their only defining trait, like Jack from Will and Grace. Like there's flamboyant, Liberace, then whatever the fuck was going on then.

The "sassy gay friend" trope was pretty strong in those decades.

I want to know what he is reading. For science of course.

The "Oh my!" just makes me remember George Takei reading Fifty Shades of Gray.

probaply "my mate", it's a comic on this very website and it's gay as fuck, wholesome, adventurious with gay sex every now and again, but even better is that it's a better love story than twilight

Nail Gun Massacre is a better love story than Twilight.

Twilight isn't exactly a high bar to clear.

Never did i think foxes in love would make a joke about blades of furry

Ironic that I had to find out about it from this comment, nothing more subtle than in your face
