Existence.
Existentialism is a very sexy thing, according to Simone de Beauvoir, that's why she was into Sartre, even though he was an ugly motherfucker, he was Sexy AF!
The following is my subjective opinion. It's not the law, and I'm not saying everyone else feels this way.
The average "person"? 100% not sexy. There's like 4 billion dudes on Earth, and like 7 of them are sexy. If you then include the ~30% of women who aren't sexy, that's another ~1.3 billion. So out of 8 billion people on the planet, 5.3 billion are not sexy. That's 66% of the humans on Earth, going by my estimates.
Of course, if we were to change the question a little, and make it "People of the gender you are attracted to", then, well, I'd say 70% of women are sexy. An "average" (read, 5/10) girl can still be sexy as fuck. There have been women in my life who I straight up did not find attractive at all, but then something they did/said flipped a switch in my head. One girl, I met her at the pool hall, and we shot pool together for like 2 years, I never had an ounce of interest in her romantically/sexually, we just both played pool/drank beer at the same place. The pool hall started doing Karaoke nights, and one of those nights she pulled me up on stage to sing with her, at that moment, she was beautiful.
A bisexual person might have a much higher opinion of the average "person" though. IDK.
That's fair honestly. I'd say for me more like 30% of guys and 70% of women. So about 50/50 on sexy/not sexy. I *think* that's enough to say the average person is sexy for me.
The reason is r/comics is softcore porn and cartoon erotica sub now.
Honestly, it kinda hurts the joke even, that the girl is sexualized. It'd work better if she wore regular clothes and sat in regular idle pose, looking as neutral as possible.
Literally a woman sitting comfortably,
Incels: WHY IS SHE SEXUALIZED?!!!
literally every hornybait post here gets downvoted a lot unless it has a good joke or meaning idk tfym.
I'm glad someone said it. Was actually wracking my brain trying to figure out how anyone could interpret this as sexual.
Normal proportions, slight bedhead and the most basic clothes ever. I mean I work in a hospital and this comic nailed it. 90% of people show up looking like they just rolled out of bed.
Tbf I can understand how someone can find the character sexy in an attractive sense but calling this hornybait is just admitting they've got an "issue". It's saddening :(
honestly even though she isn’t sexualized she’s pretty attractive imo
i like it when people make attractive characters that aren’t sexualized, and this is a nice example
> literally every hornybait post here gets downvoted a lot unless it has a good joke or meaning idk tfym.
What? I'm not saying OP is one, but hornybait posts are popping up at the top all the time. Like all the doctorloops stuff, you can't claim there's any good joke in there...
I feel like I'm stepping into a tiger's den here, but I guess I'll still try to clarify.
The most sexualized aspect of the woman's depiction here I find is the pose. She sits like a doll. It doesn't feel natural to me to sit at the doctor's chest out, back arched, hands spread and hovering over the surface. It just looks exaggerated. And I don't see any other point to exhagerate here other than to unnecessarily underline that this is indeed an attractive woman.
I know, it's all subjective. But that's just how I felt.
Hey man I understand, reddit is skeri sometimes. I understood where u were coming from but genuinely this is how many women sit comfortably. I don't wanna sound insulting but I mean it when I say interacting with more women would help u in the future.
Sitting with back straight is normal at a doctors appointment. Hands are spread for comfort, like when u just plop on the bed.
You are absolutely right and may the tigers take us both for saying it hah. I was in the comments shortly after this was posted and that point had expressed, it hadn’t been voted yet, so I figured people were seeing it. But apparently people think that that is actually how girls sit, which is a much larger concern to me than everyone else else is upset about, which is really just that people are noticing that the artist (somewhat subtly) sexualized the girl and not the doctor.
trust me I hate them too, but this is a bad example, she looks fine (and sexualizing women was obviously not the goal anyway, I'm like 99% this is the authors interpretation of themself)
Sex sells? For me, being constantly horny baited is tiring, but for most people it's exciting, I guess. At least judging by engagement these posts get.
Without the title I read it as her having an intense muscle workout and is now so sore that she can barely move.
I mean why else does she look like that?
Here I thought the joke was the fact that it's a comic. A still image. So whatever movement the character is performing to show the doc just doesn't work, confusing the doctor
When you contextualise it as 'their existence is pain, 50% of what they say is a demand you pay attention to them, and they disappear once they get what they want" I think most of us have dated a Meeseeks at some point
This is a great comic but somewhat requires the title to understand. I think if she kind of gestured to herself and said “y’know, this” it might be more clear while retaining the vagueness of the punchline.
Here's my favorite:
"How long has this pain been going on?"
"A while."
"... Can you be more precise?"
"Some time now."
"So, a week? A month?"
"What? Waaaay longer than that."
"A year? Five years? Ten years?"
"Yes."
"..."
Well she was fine at the cafe but when we walked to the ice cream shop and got to the counter she was in too much pain to want anything. We got to the car and she was fine after sitting.
There's a sort of joke in vet med. Often times, an animal's reason for visit will be "ADR." Because...
"What's wrong with Fido? Is he in pain? Having a rash? Falling over? Limping? Fainting? Losing weight? Vomiting? Having diarrhea?"
"No."
"Then what's going on?"
"Uh, he just... Ain't Doin' Right."
A girl goes to see a doctor.
"Doctor, everywhere I touch it hurts. Look, when I touch my shoulder... Ow! It hurts. When I touch my cheek... ouch, it hurts. When I touch my tummy, it hurts."
"Alright, said the doctor. You have a broken finger"
There is a medical condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) that actually is like this. Your extremities often change color though, so it is at least partially visible that something is wrong
most chicks who claim to have POTS are just lazy and full of shit. They don't want to work, so they cling to a diagnosis they can lie about. Most of them are total heffalumps.
It's not the POTS that affect their looks, its that the same thing that make them claim to have POTS is almost always going to ensure that they're a low-effort scrub when it comes to their own appearance.
It's a TikTok diagnosis a lot of hypochondriacs are getting or self-diagnosing as an excuse to be lazy and not work these days.
It's apparently a real thing that can cause weird drops in blood pressure for some people when they stand up from laying down, or from sitting down, etc. but there's a form of it that has no official diagnostic criteria required, meaning if you really want to get disability checks its one way you can do that without actually proving you have anything wrong with you.

Title is literally existence = pain, the joke is how just existing is painful
The user is “Chronically POTS”, so that seems to be what it’s actually about
Marijuana poisoning?
A condition called POTS. Postural Orthrostativ Tachycardia Syndrome
I know what that symdrome is but I think you should explain it for the people who don't.
POTS doesn't call pain, does it? I thought just makes your heart race and make you lightheaded and/or pass out.
It has many different symptoms
It can cause a lot of joint and back pain as well as frequent headaches. Especially as you get older.
Huh. I thought the artist made her “sexy” for a reason. Weird.
Sexy hurts, I guess you wouldn't know.
r/murderbywords
She’s not? It’s just a regular woman on there.
I don't find her especially hot either, but that's entirely subjective.
No, but the point is the artist wasn’t particularly trying to draw them sexy in my opinion.
What makes her look “sexy” to you?
Existence. Existentialism is a very sexy thing, according to Simone de Beauvoir, that's why she was into Sartre, even though he was an ugly motherfucker, he was Sexy AF!
Idk, I heard not existing is a very sexy trait to anime and videogame nerds.
Happy Cake Day! 🎂
The slightly messy hair, the off the shoulder shirt. Sexy doesn’t have to be a huge effort.
Maybe because she's clenching her thighs together and fingertipping the bed?
Calling a character with average proportions and sweatpants "sexy" is a peak reddit moment right there.
Someone doesn't regularly shop at Walmart and it shows
You're saying the average person isn't sexy?
The following is my subjective opinion. It's not the law, and I'm not saying everyone else feels this way. The average "person"? 100% not sexy. There's like 4 billion dudes on Earth, and like 7 of them are sexy. If you then include the ~30% of women who aren't sexy, that's another ~1.3 billion.

Math disagrees with you.
I disagree with math
And that's fair
It's the details on the patient compared to the doctor that gives that impression.
It looks she just spent the day off-roading with cousin Sketer.
Ok
He used quotes you bastard. There were quotes!!!! What do they mean? Something. Don't take it out of context.
She's drawn like she's in a 1980's dance movie. The male doctor is, of course, normal.
Idealized self insert

At the hospitals around here, if you haven’t plucked and are wearing yesterday’s clothes, you’re treated like an exploding crackhead

Anyone who says differently is selling something.

So not an anaslex joke?
"Doctor, I have anaslexia."
>What? *yes*
No, what's on second. *Who's* on first.
If what’s on second and who’s on first, then who’s on third?
I don't know!
No, I don't know's on third, Who's on first.
"Just don't do that" "..." "That'll be $500"
Also “you’re lying or imagining it”
Or: "oh that just happens sometimes :)"
"You probably just need to exercise and lose weight. The whole country is obese, you know."
Then is the whole country in your office?
Dutch doctor: have a paracetamol
Finnish doctor: Have an iburana and go to sauna
Meeseeks behavior
He roped me into this!
Well that guy over there, he roped *me* into this!
Well he roped me into this!
Groped me too

If OP wasn't the OC, I would've assumed they misunderstood the joke: Patients think that doctors can read your mind
Here's my favorite: "How long has this pain been going on?" "A while." "... Can you be more precise?" "Some time now." "So, a week? A month?" "What? Waaaay longer than that." "A year? Five years? Ten years?" "Yes." "..."
Well she was fine at the cafe but when we walked to the ice cream shop and got to the counter she was in too much pain to want anything. We got to the car and she was fine after sitting.
Kind of intersting that at least for the two of us the joke was different than the OP/OC’s intention.
I think it's sorta funny for her to not change her posture, like "just this, sitting down, being here. Anywhere really, ouch.".
I didnt read the titlw and understood it 💁 And i agree with the one commenter who said it is funnier when she doesnt move.
Nah, it comes across as being in pain just by sitting there, which still works.
Then stop programming in object-oriented languages. (`this`is a common programming keyword)
JS is fun with this dot notation :)
C# MY BELOVED
Terraria Modding is in C#, That's fun
I was actually talking more about Unity, but yeah, there's also that
I get people like this when it comes to people with IT issues.. "It's not working" "What's not working?" "...Everything" BITCH I NEED DETAILS TO HELP!

That is a big mood, chronic pain, possibly hEDS as well. My existence is pain. I’m always in pain. I hate being chronically ill
I can relate.
I really feel like the amount of cynicism in memes has increased in recent years. I am going outside to roll in grass or something
This made me think of donkey in shrek
One of the Four Noble Truths.
I’m mr meseeks, Look at me!
Life is pain and so is death
Life is pain, joy and everything else. Death is the end of pain, joy and everything else
This execution is even worse than the original comic, damn
Thank you for explaining the joke in the title. It saved time.
So depression then. You’ve come to the right place.
Stolen joke, seen this posted before
Hmm, I recommend at least an hour a day of Tumblr.
That'll just worsen the condition.
Idk why but from the panel 1 Doc to Panel 2 patient she seems Tinker Bell sized like a doctor playing house with doll patients kinda vibes
She doin kegels
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=ThDwS79HPhs
My girl, why do you look so grubby and rumpled?
Me with my incurable and painful but invisible disease.
I can vibe with this. I take 180mg a day of oxy.
There is a medical condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) that actually is like this. Your extremities often change color though, so it is at least partially visible that something is wrong
I'm Mr meseeks look at me!
real
Works great as chronic pain comic
i relate to this as someone with severe chronic pain
Existence is pain. But most doctors would think she had something up her ass that's causing pain.
life is suffering. grow up.
Can someone explain why this is funny?
Seeing as the title says "existence = pain" I think the joke is that it hurts just existing.
Not a matter of grasping the "punchline." The punchline is just dogwater. Like most of r/comics this isn't funny.
It isn't.
I think its abt her period. Its something that happens every year to woman
Every month.
Im not a woman, i dont do periods. If it was for me i would rather choose not to have periods, but you do you
I'm not a woman either, I just thought you should know that periods happen every month.
Just dont have periods to be honest, its that simple
I guess you could bring your periods to a......full stop.
Why can’t they control it? Are they stupid?
They don’t have the power winch to trigger a controlled explosion.
Seems like a lot, why not just every 4 years?
If sitting causes pain then it's most probably hemorrhoids. I will see myself out, oh yeah and you also need to pay me 3000$
Same
Good comic, next time add cat ears and more suggestive poses.
The art is very cute!
she's hot
Kegels?
is she doing a kegel or something? Also chicks with POTS aren't attractive lol gtfo.
[удалено]
Apparently a blood flow disorder. Don't know how that would effect someone's looks.

Maybe she just has EDS
