Her sorry I prefer guys who are assholes Me
The image presents a humorous exchange composed as a text conversation layered over what appears to be a scene from an animated film or television show. On the left, we see a character with their back turned, draped in a purple cloak. On the right, there is a female character with a distinct appearance, typical of animated villainesses, with sharp features and a somewhat disapproving look.
At the top of the image, the beginning of a conversation is depicted. The text reads "Her: sorry, I prefer guys who are assholes" implying that the female character is expressing a preference for a specific type of personality in men - one that is often perceived negatively.
The retort from the other character, represented by the purple cloaked figure, is equally confrontational and reads, "Me: ya well I prefer girls who are pretty." This line suggests a retaliatory preference based on physical appearance, which, like the first preference, could be seen as superficial or offensive.
The third part of the text completes the exchange with "Her: (sits back down) I'm listening.." This suggests that the female character, after having been met with an equally harsh judgment, now shows interest in continuing the conversation. The implication is that the second character’s rebuttal captured her attention despite its rudeness.
Why people might find this image funny could stem from several factors. Firstly, the blunt and unapologetically shallow statements reflect a sort of brutal honesty that can be humorous in its disregard for politeness. Many might find the candidness of 'preferring pretty girls' comical when juxtaposed with the callousness of 'preferring assholes.'
Secondly, the use of a villain-looking character, who typically would have the upper hand or be the one to dismiss others, being intrigued after a cutting remark, undercuts the usual power dynamic and subverts expectations. The character's sudden interest after the frank insult provides an unexpected and humorous twist to the interaction. This subversion, and the depicted characters' readiness to engage in candid, if impolite, dialogue can evoke humor through surprise and the breaking of social norms.
