    I feel like this joke would be a lot funnier without any of the bumper stickers, just playing on the Subaru meme. Or maybe just a single pride flag.

    As it is, each bumper sticker seems like an additional layer of desperation from the artist to make sure you get their joke. Which isn’t particularly clever or funny to begin with tbh…

    Oh look another account a few hours old spamming a bunch of comics, usually with controversial inaccuracies or divisiveness.

    There’s been a huge influx of these accounts lately. Add this one to the pile.

    Some stickers are partially obscuring the rear view while driving. Not totally safe.

      I love/hate Subaru

      They’ve never had a good diesel engine. The one they did have would split crankshafts IIRC.

      Their petrol engines are pretty boring unless turbocharged… And in Europe they don’t do a lot of turbos outside of the WRX and STI models

      Oh and CVT longevity kinda sucks too

      But on the other hand, the AWD is excellent, Outback as a taller but not too tall wagon was very comfy (now it’s a crossover sadly), especially in the slightly tallet USDM version. Etc.

      My ex got our Outback and I replaced it with the cheapest available A6 Allroad. Much better vehicle in all but reliability though in its defense it has twice the kilometers and is 6 years older (2007 vs 2013). Better driving dynamics, fuel economy, comfort, and ride height can be low or high. Also has a traditional autobox.

        So it’s kinda an interesting story. We’re a historically outdoorsy group. Subaru has long specialized in rugged vehicles that work in adverse conditions like dirt roads. In the 90s the company wanted to boost revenue by doing targeted ads so they did some research on who was buying their cars, and they found three standout groups (I only vaguely recall the first two): campers, medical workers, and lesbians. They were more than happy to openly advertise to the first two, your car will work off road when you go camping, and when you need to get to the hospital in a disaster your car will get you there type stuff. But they also put not so subtle nods to lesbians in their advertisements (stuff like a XENALVR license plate), making them one of the very first mainstream companies to adverse directly to the queer community. This led to some brand loyalty for a time and a stereotype of outdoorsy lesbians all have Subarus. It’s definitely fallen off over the years as a stereotype though

    I don’t get the “horse denier” sticker. Otherwise yeah.

    Also scissoring is more about mutual fun, not like actually cumming imo…

      Hey, it’s a common first form of tribidation before you realize it’s inconvenient and awkward as all hell. But also it’s definitely more commonly joked about than done

        It’s “real” in that yes you can just rub your junk on stuff, including someone else’s junk - it’s not real in that it’s not, like, something people actually do, or that feels particularly stimulating for both partners just because of the geometry (it’s borderline impossible to get your bits to mutually line up). Basically as it’s commonly depicted, it’s not real. There’s stuff you can do with mutual thighs that can be quite nice if it works anatomically for you and your partner, but I’ve never seen that done in porn (and believe me I’ve looked)

      Marketing campaign in the 90s. The marketing campaign was launched because market research discovered that there was already a sizable customer base of lesbians though.

      Subarus are a very practical vehicle for people who like city living but also go out to festivals or go on hiking trips, they’re pretty reliable, they’re fairly popular on the pretty gay west coast so they can be found used pretty commonly and they’re one of the few common vehicles in the US that are comfortably sized for women to drive (Volvo is also popular for similar reasons, and it has a silly name)

    Business idea: Scissorerscossorlift. It’s a regular scissor lift, but marketed towards lesbians. Maybe it comes with a bundled CD of Scissor Sisters, just for that extra pandering to a market I know nothing about.
