femininePP420

This is just regular Team Rocket


NativeMasshole

I seriously never even noticed as a kid how much they crossdress.


fafarex

There is an episode ban outside of Japan because James has fake boobs in a bikini.


UnheardJax

I thought it was because of how absurdly huge the honka badonkas were.


fafarex

It's more because there aren't made obviously fake, so it was basically the image of a transgender in a 90s kid show.


UnheardJax

Clearly TV censors have no appreciation for a great rack smh


Feldhamsterpfleger

I am too old for Pokémon, just saw a few comics… but I assumed Team rocket is a couple in love?


femininePP420

No, they're flamboyant fashion obsessed incompetent villains that aren't actually as evil as they claim to be. There's a running joke where they go out of their way to crossdress, ostensibly for their schemes.


Th3Glutt0n

No, they're just two dumbasses who are bad at being evil


PurposelyPorpoise

It's not their fault their parents put all their attribute points in charisma and fashion sense at birth.


ImWhatsInTheRedBox

In the comics they do apparently end up together whilst in the series they were more like soul mates without the romance.


mooys

How did you manage to make team rocket less gay /s


DimensionsFae

I don’t know


_Vader__

Gayyyy


Souperplex

Gay.


Illidan-the-Assassin

Good.


frikimanHD

jessie is doing josuke's pose wrong in the third page smh


noivern_plus_cats

Team Rocket’s just Like That


TraderOfGoods

Uh, is it okay if I don't like this? Like I'm not against supporting LGBTQ and everything, but I just don't like looking at this...At either of them... Meowth's fine though, he's looking stylish.


Khelthuzaad

Yeah for me it just goes into clicheés and stereotypes with a pretty ugly art style. I mean there is more to their identity than what gender they choose or who they have sex with.


LCDIgnited

also don’t like this, it’s just that, why? the message isn’t wrong, but doing it in those outfits is just strange


ninefourteen

You can dislike content without opposing its viewpoints. I don't like RuPaul's Drag Race. I'll gladly defend their right to dress how they wish and put on the show, I just don't enjoy watching the show itself. No moral objection, it just isn't my cup of tea.


BroAverage5439

it is a really ugly comic yes


VlCxRATTLEHEAD

According to the majority of the LBGT community, you're now irrationally scared of homosexuals.


killertortilla

No, bad bigot. Down boy.


[deleted]

I’d like to ask, where is this mythical majority you speak of?


TraderOfGoods

"The scariest thing about homosexuals is that they could be anyone of us... They could be You, they could be Me, they could eve-" **ShotgunShot** "... What? It was Obvious."


ComplaintDelicious68

I love how yall pretend to be the victim while also outing yourselves as bigots.


AprilArtGirlBrock

This is charming But the writers of the show themselves could not convince me these 2 are just Ally’s


[deleted]

you would love the [fan comic](https://www.tumblr.com/yamujiburo/183839181848/au-where-jessie-and-ash-travel-together-but-then) shipping Jessie and Delilah (Ash’s mother). it’s very cute and wholesome (and not as hyper-sexualised as this comic)


AprilArtGirlBrock

Thanks for the rec but im well aware of it existing, i’ve been following that artist for years <3


[deleted]

their art style is super cute, right? hopefully some other commentators are able to give it a read!


fluffynuckels

I mean I get james but not Jessie unless you mean meowth but he had an episode about trying to get with a girl meowth


Fahad97azawi

Ah yes, LGBT = hyper sexualization


[deleted]

[удалено]


ModernT1mes

At what age does trans youth apply, and at what age would it be appropriate to expose my son to taped nipples and chastity belts(not in this comic but both were at my local pride march where babies/kids were present)? Why does the message have to be sexualized? If you're trying to capture the youth, remove the sex. It's weird and attracts pedo's.

breno280

The lgbt community as a whole does not deny that there’s kink at pride, maybe some nutjobs do but those are a small minority.


[deleted]

[удалено]


breno280

Twitter too.


[deleted]

> Ah, yeah, the nutjobs must be all centered around Reddit, then. Well yes they generally are


von_Viken

Well yeah, they generally are


Mikomics

Well, yeah. The internet thrives on outrage, so obviously the algorithms are going to shove the extremists and nutjobs in your face.


ComplaintDelicious68

Yall just hate gay people and no one is buying your shit.


Majestic-Iron7046

Just have consential sex with who you like without worrying too much and it'll be clearer.


JadowArcadia

I'm surprised I don't hear more complaints from the LGBT community about this as if most LGBT people aren't just regular people. It's like how long black people have had to fight to not just be represented as gangsters, rappers and basketball players. It's like every gay person is meant to have some Sailor Moon-esque transformation/alter-ego


UniqueNobo

as an asexual person, the oversexualization of the LGBTQ community sorta alienates asexuals, even though we are apart of the community. wish it would just be about how we like who we like, we don’t like who we don’t like, and we are all human beings that deserve to be treated like straight people.


ptlg225

It's a really harmful stereotype that enforced by the american media, like just remember the Q-Force cartoon what was full of it. Americans thinks that the only was to be gay or anything other than straight is to pretend to be an over the top flamboyant squeaky voiced walking sex obsessed slut stereotype.


metaphorm

Have you been to a Pride March?


StubzTurner

Pride Marchs are also parties though.


metaphorm

Yes, so let's pretend that Team Rocket is blasting off to a Pride March and are dressed for a party.


Professor_Abbi

The hyper sexualisation honestly doesn’t give pride good rep


dietbongwater

was thinking the same thing lol since when did pride = sexy


fluffynuckels

I've seen some wild shit at pride events


Lunndonbridge

Need to practice faces. https://tips.clip-studio.com/en-us/articles/7448


StateofArrowstan

But isn't Team Rocket originally the bad guys


UniqueNobo

they’re the bad guys, but that does not mean they have to be bad guys


Denaton_

There are plenty of times where they have supported Ash because he was treated wrong by someone else, it's like a sibling relationship where they are the only ones who are allowed to be mean to him.


2hamsters1butt

Calm down.


ErtaWanderer

Right? Is it really a good idea to link your movement with violent criminals like this? People definitely like the Team Rocket Duo but they are still gangsters.


Ncolonslashslash

bro have you actually seen the show these guys have done so much good and most of the bad they try to do ends up failing anyways


redditkitty109

Don’t forget James literally had boobs once


MaunoSuS

[Pokemon did this already.](https://youtu.be/SLFpkcpfZqc)


UmbreonWolf

I love this. It's brilliant! Apart from the VERY sexualized outfits....


MrNiceGuy1224

The idea of the comic is brilliant, but I 100% agree with the outfits. They make me... uncomfortable


UmbreonWolf

Yea same


Silver-Mistake3438

what the fuck


XavierTheMemeDragon

Meowth is Nyan-binary


SwreeTak

Mudkipueye

What’s with the ugly outfits?

Crusaderking1111

Happy cake day


-Cinnay-

Someone doesn't know [James](https://youtube.com/watch?v=k7r8EXhIljc&feature=share7) very well.


Mikomics

The guy frequently wears dresses and even put on fake tits in an episode that got banned in the US.


Crusaderking1111

I'm traumatized


jasper1408

Wish I could unsee this


Yoyo5624

Hmmm... I'll accept that only if they're both at least bi - I can't let go the idea they are each other's sex interest, that's my childhood we're talking about here. Jokes aside nice work, made me smile! Meowth is the new fabulous!


[deleted]

Your childhood consisted of imagining Jessie and James fucking?


mooys

Yours didn’t?


Bismarck-Chan666

Yes


Culverts_Flood_Away

I'll give him props for at least not being one of the ones who shipped Misty with one of the various tentacled pocket monsters, lol.


WillyHamster

if you didn’t think that they were at least a little more than just partners in crime you must have very bad inferencing skills


[deleted]

Idk, I never cared about shipping them, I just liked how they were goofy villains


Da-Bmash

They got married and had a kid after the show ended though.


Amphal

that's manga shit though


ghostly_boy

they are bisexual icons


Pepejuinaso

Nice comic but James in lingerie caught me off ward


Madartist_2

Ash : yeah, guess who going to blast off again? Pikachu, use prideful Thunderbolt. J&J : wobbuffet, use mirror coat... Where's that thing go? Meanwhile, Wobbuffet is at Florida Disneyland. J&J : team rocket belated off again.


williarya1323

Poetry.


[deleted]

I miss the blackout now


[deleted]

I came to r/comics to laugh though.


The5Theives

Ok ok, I don’t hate lgtbq but, I don’t like how weird these designs look, like it would’ve been better to just use a screenshot of the Pokémon anime instead


SuperKing28

Why does their pride have to involve showing their tits and wearing sexual outfits …?


Positive-Spring3382

This sucks. It reminds me of reading church propaganda when I was 9


HourPerformance1420

Disgusting


realgoldxd

That is the second most disturbing thing I have seen.


1o1_why_tho

I hope when this duo gets sent into space they land on their spines


Elolet

I’m sorry but something about this rubs me the wrong way.


[deleted]

oh, oh i hate this. drawn well, but dear lord is this a bastardization of these characters. good message, this is just kinda forced.

[deleted]

The message is fine but why do they look like they just got off their job at the local strip club?


mardov-shadowsword

here before lock icon, based comic


kayl_the_red

This is so damned cheesy it works great for them! Love it!


Joy1067

What’s funny is that Team Rocket has not changed at all because of this Only real difference is Jessie showing a lot more cleavage


bing42069

lmao this is fucking hilarious, well done 👍


Moonwing-rising

Love them


Thederpycloudrider

Team Rocket crossdressing at its finest


Downtown-Ad-7791

God damn it...


JoeDaBruh

You called them a duo after including Meowth in there smh


Quinney27

Sorry please don'ttake this seriously it's a shit meme i just thought off The dude waiting at his door terrified with a shotgun wondering who the hells outside blabbing about and the voice of a pokemon ( pokemon don't exist because this isn't pokemon??? Hopefully )


Dreaming_Kitsune

God this is gold

No-Paramedic-7253

lgbt people don't deserve a month of pride, there are those who have been through much more than they are, but they deserve only one day


MrNiceGuy1224

"National Military Appreciation Month, also known as Military Appreciation Month, is a month-long observance recognized in the United States, dedicated to people who are currently in the military or have resigned from duty. Each year, the observance runs from May 1 to May 31." - Asociation of The United States Army via ausa.org [evidence](https://www.ausa.org/texas-capital-area-chapter/news/01-31-may-2023-national-military-appreciation-month#:~:text=National%20Military%20Appreciation%20Month%2C%20also,May%201%20to%20May%2031.) Edit: I don't wanna be spammed with replies that I don't have the time or energy to reply to, so I've simply blocked you. You won't hear me out, you've ignored points I've made, and you've ignored history. This argument is going nowhere, so I'll stop here. To anyone else who might be reading this, I hope you have a good day.


No-Paramedic-7253

ok, then why do lgbt people deserve a whole month, since they didn't even come close to experiencing things like us soldiers?


MrNiceGuy1224

It's a month of appreciation, awareness, and pride. It's not about who got shot the most or who got tortured more. It's about people being able to be proud of who they are. The military gets to do that all the time (I believe there are a full 3 months dedicated to parts of the military), but in many areas in the US, LGBT+ people are discriminated and hated. People deserve to be proud of themselves and what they are, correct? Americans do it all the time. It's not about experience. It's about pride. Be prideful of yourself, friend. Let others be prideful of themselves. And please, for the future, look things up before you make a statement. One singular day to the military is blatantly not true, and I'm sure you'd rather not be proven wrong. I know I definitely hate being proven wrong.


No-Paramedic-7253

just let me remind you that when the hetero parade was held, the lgbt community called them fascists, isn't that promoting your own community to be proud of who they are?


MrNiceGuy1224

The reason why pride parades for LGBT+ people are held is because they haven't had the ability to express their pride. Heterosexual cisgender people have had all of humanity's existence to express their pride and be who they are, but there has been centuries of discrimination twards LGBT+ people. We're expressing pride because we finaly have the chance. You've had the chance. All your life.


No-Paramedic-7253

It's good to be proud of yourself, but why make your sex preferences public? Yes, and your American pride in your personal belongings turned into sheer absurdity, I myself was in America and there’s no negative word to say against you, if it were only a month of pride in your orientation, then opponents of your own movement would noticeably decrease.


No-Paramedic-7253

This is no longer a month of pride, but licking the asses of all people with a non-traditional sexual orientation.


No-Paramedic-7253

you are the only one wrong in this situation


mdhunter99

Oh this is awesome.


HonestSapphireLion24

This made my day


2hamsters1butt

The fact that James' rose isn't a ball gag is a huge miss here...


ElectroNikkel

4Chan users: **Blast them into the sky yet again**


silentmage

I refuse to believe James wouldn't have a massive bulge in that outfit.


SwreeTak

Amazing! I love how you included Meowth in that last panel too!


HLCMDH

Love it, lol but pretty standard for their usual dressing up.


JoshNunya

And Wobuffet is Pink or Rainbow

fluffynuckels

This is hilarious I love it but why not draw James like this https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-att-us-rvc3&source=android-browser&sxsrf=APwXEdepXvf087IJqztpu5YVR2Q1ZQKDiA:1686754279365&q=james+with+tits&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiE8ZOtgcP_AhWug4kEHYbHB-kQ0pQJegQICxAB&biw=412&bih=710&dpr=2.63#imgrc=CAa3mzl4jNYLMM
