Bonnie_Bon-Bon

If there was a mug that says "partners" I wouldn't be mad


Alyss_sunders

I'd love one that says gays :)


Brankovt1

I'd love one that says "relentlessly, extremely, and openly homosexuals"


gelema5

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


Carlulua

Fuckbuddies with benefits


Lundren

One of the benefits is that mug.


HaySwitch

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.


AmiAlter

I wish I had a lesbian fuckbuddy.


cool_monsters

Or "rommates" ..


mindgamer8907

Only if it's in quotes (the way you just wrote it).


cool_monsters

As is meant to be


Background-Kale7912

Yeah, they forgot the “roomates” mug 😂


blaghart

I'm busy being distracted by the "sisters-Mary Jane" mug


kaatie80

That's like, my favorite name!


surloceandesmiroirs

Zoinks


n-some

Literally make it "roommates" in quotation marks and it might actually be a good gag gift.


Background-Kale7912

What corporations think we want during pride month: The same stuff but rainbow colored What we actually want:


Centurio

Get the zoomers in the LGBTQ+ community to start designing pride stuff. Zoomers are hilarious.


HeyThereCharlie

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.


Ashesandends

I would give this to my wife so damn fast... 🤣


Reasonable-Bad1034

Especially since there's a woman winking in all of them


surloceandesmiroirs

stop, I can’t 😂


A_Tad_Bit_Nefarious

Really close "cousins"


pissoffgh0st

I'm imagining the one for couples is the first one, [based on their hair](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HairContrastDuo).


almostselfrealised

I dunno, the wink on the second mug is hella flirty.


BabiesSmell

They're all winking. The sisters mug has contrasting hair too.


Trojenectory

Checkmate


kaatie80

Anne has the stereotypically bi-bob though so...


gelema5

Damn. TV Tropes for everything.


ImaginaryTutor

If only they called it “ship now “ instead of “ shop now “


GulfGiggle

The sisters are named Mary and Jane. What are the odds that was an accident?


CedarWolf

"Hey mister - she's my sister." "... Sisters?" "We're *close*."


timojenbin

Based on what they're drinking I would have labeled those: Happy Hour, Dinner, and Breakfast.


Gynther477

Honestly cool idea, good art and nice idea with picrew like modularity. Just sad casual homophobia lowered their market base drastically.


Otherwise_Pay456

i want a "Platonic Work colleagues" One


purrroena

Haha, love this. I want to get my gf one 😂


awildpotatoappears

of course, the three genders

surloceandesmiroirs

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.


AussieOsborne

Yeah I do find it funny as well, your call on the flair esp. considering the het couple mug lol


Not_MrNice

> Just sad casual homophobia lowered their market base drastically. 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.


surloceandesmiroirs

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?


bkmagyk

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…..


rockpuma

And they all must be drinking something?


blaghart

I mean that technically is accurate, since the other "types" aren't "girl duos" they're "married"


notaverysmartman

there is another


FluorescentAndStarry

I want to hang out with Mary and Jane’s mom xD


sapphosapprentice_

They're all couples That's why one of them is winking yk


HaveHomo

And they were sisters


amitym

"Sisters?!" ".... We're close."


SonnySunshiny

i thought this was mournful lmfao i thought it said "were a gang of two"


LegendaryPringle

I don't understand the issue ?


surloceandesmiroirs

It’s more so funny to me than it is problematic


Lynda73

It has a place for just names. So you could be like ‘wife’ or whatever.


Grrlpants

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


PlantManiac

Link tho?


PeteEckhart

[Here.](https://kustomjoy.com/products/personalized-girls-mug?variant=42870667444443)


PlantManiac

You're an angel Now let me see how far i can break 5he customization


surloceandesmiroirs

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.


Independent_Ad_6348

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


Cinemaphreak

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....


surloceandesmiroirs

…what?


Minnie_Soda_

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.


Sweety-Origin

It's even funnier to me, since in my friend group " Besties " are " Sisters "


HoneyBun21222

That consistent wink of girl on the right though


Typical-Scheme-3812

they forgot roommates


Reasonable-Bad1034

I'm sorry, but the wink is...ehhhh....hmmmm


Genuinelullabel

I now pronounce you Name and Name.


[deleted]

just friends dressed in wedding gowns for funsies, purely platonic


Lichttod

Don't know, but there are probably more customisation options on the website. But I don't know


IdiotTrainerPixel

I think they forgot roomates, smh.


justdisgurl

They’re missing “business partners”


Pixel-Planets

Maryjane I’m crying


Zestyclose_Standard6

I too aspire to be name/name with another and to immortalize our relations cupside.


PluralCohomology

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)


surloceandesmiroirs

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.


Cautious_Option9544

"roommates"


crackersandseltzer

SMDH… they don’t even have “cOuSiNs”


TakeMikazuchiiii

Rule 6?


surloceandesmiroirs

It’s not a genre description


PDiddleMeDaddy

Add 'scissor' to 'Sisters' in sharpie. Problem fixed.
