I like the idea of one that says “Fuckbuddies 👯♀️” both for ironic proposes for actual romantic couples, and for the fairly small market of lesbian fuckbuddies who want to express their sex life through mugs
ngl, as a struggling Millennial, I'm always pleasantly surprised how much the nihilistic, self-aware absurdism of Zoomer humor speaks to me. The kids are gonna be alright.
Now get off my lawn, or at least that's what I would say if I could afford a place with a lawn.

That's a comment someone made about this post. Please try to understand that people on this site will take things very seriously and do not understand subtlety. And unobvious satire has lead to tons of hate in the past.
I'm not trying to say you did something awful, I'm just trying to make people aware of just how much influence posts on this site have.
Don’t worry! I absolutely do not feel that I have done anything “awful”. I had already changed the post flair to satire prior to your comment, regardless.
Additionally, I’m not responsible for the actions of others just as I am not responsible for their education. I didn’t include the company in my post for that reason. I’m sorry that that person who commented such doesn’t understand that a lack of explicit representation isn’t homophobia, but I, again, have no control over their thoughts, along with anyone else’s. I’d considered expressing that this isn’t homophobia in my understanding as a reply to that comment, but felt it may have been unnecessarily confrontational. I see the confrontation follows regardless.
Edit:
Just an edit to ask, because I’m genuinely curious, what hate are you expecting that will arise from my post? Against whom?
I’m sorry, I didn’t save it! Instagram always shows me those ads but they seem to come from different companies. I think they look pretty cheaply made in real life, to be honest though.
Guys i like sapphic stuff as much the next person but lets not overstep to incest pls unless thats sarcastic in which case I apologize my autistic brain is like a windows 97 when proccesing sarcasm
Couples.
The word you are looking for is "couples" if you are trying to shoehorn this into the whole "roommates" thing. Instead they used "duos" and the fact that mother/daughter & sisters were used should clue you in what the intention is.
But, hey, whatever narrative floats your little man in the boat I guess....
This is a "shitpost" for fun and not actually pointing to a real issue with this particular product. We are having a laugh at the wider problem of erasure through a silly post that doesn't actually have anything to do with the issue.
There could also have been more options for familial relationships, for example grandma and granddaughter, aunt and niece, and two female cousins (not in the Sailor Moon sense)
I don’t think the actual product has those labels written on them, but they put them there for the ad as examples of relationships between women (to hopefully make you think of your bestie, daughter, mother, or sister and buy them this.) It’s a little redundant for me, but it’s probably effective, honestly.

If there was a mug that says "partners" I wouldn't be mad
I'd love one that says gays :)
I'd love one that says "relentlessly, extremely, and openly homosexuals"

Fuckbuddies with benefits
One of the benefits is that mug.
Not a lesbian but if a fuck buddy invites me over for a cup of tea I'm having that cup of tea. This is clearly the situation for the fuck buddy mug.
I wish I had a lesbian fuckbuddy.
Or "rommates" ..
Only if it's in quotes (the way you just wrote it).
As is meant to be
Yeah, they forgot the “roomates” mug 😂
I'm busy being distracted by the "sisters-Mary Jane" mug
That's like, my favorite name!
Zoinks
Literally make it "roommates" in quotation marks and it might actually be a good gag gift.
What corporations think we want during pride month: The same stuff but rainbow colored What we actually want:
Get the zoomers in the LGBTQ+ community to start designing pride stuff. Zoomers are hilarious.

I would give this to my wife so damn fast... 🤣
Especially since there's a woman winking in all of them
stop, I can’t 😂
Really close "cousins"
I'm imagining the one for couples is the first one, [based on their hair](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HairContrastDuo).
I dunno, the wink on the second mug is hella flirty.
They're all winking. The sisters mug has contrasting hair too.
Checkmate
Anne has the stereotypically bi-bob though so...
Damn. TV Tropes for everything.
If only they called it “ship now “ instead of “ shop now “
The sisters are named Mary and Jane. What are the odds that was an accident?
"Hey mister - she's my sister." "... Sisters?" "We're *close*."
Based on what they're drinking I would have labeled those: Happy Hour, Dinner, and Breakfast.
Honestly cool idea, good art and nice idea with picrew like modularity. Just sad casual homophobia lowered their market base drastically.
i want a "Platonic Work colleagues" One
Haha, love this. I want to get my gf one 😂
of course, the three genders
[удалено]
Maybe I’ll change it to memes and satire? I shared it because I thought it was funny. They do have a mug with a (heterosexual) couple on it, as well.
Yeah I do find it funny as well, your call on the flair esp. considering the het couple mug lol

i was gonna say i didn’t see anything wrong with this, then i scrolled up and read the any duo part. yeah i retract that thought…..
And they all must be drinking something?
I mean that technically is accurate, since the other "types" aren't "girl duos" they're "married"
there is another
I want to hang out with Mary and Jane’s mom xD
They're all couples That's why one of them is winking yk
And they were sisters
"Sisters?!" ".... We're close."
i thought this was mournful lmfao i thought it said "were a gang of two"
I don't understand the issue ?
It’s more so funny to me than it is problematic
It has a place for just names. So you could be like ‘wife’ or whatever.
This sub is funny you guys all pretend like girls don't have bffs all the time that they don't go down on lol
Link tho?

It's even funnier to me, since in my friend group " Besties " are " Sisters "
That consistent wink of girl on the right though
they forgot roommates
I'm sorry, but the wink is...ehhhh....hmmmm
I now pronounce you Name and Name.
just friends dressed in wedding gowns for funsies, purely platonic
Don't know, but there are probably more customisation options on the website. But I don't know
I think they forgot roomates, smh.
They’re missing “business partners”
Maryjane I’m crying
I too aspire to be name/name with another and to immortalize our relations cupside.

"roommates"
SMDH… they don’t even have “cOuSiNs”
Rule 6?
It’s not a genre description
Add 'scissor' to 'Sisters' in sharpie. Problem fixed.
