{{w|Faggot (slang)|Fag}}, {{w|ass pirate}}, {{w|fudge packer}}, and {{w|List of LGBT slang terms|cock jockey}} are all insults for a {{w|homosexual}} man, while cum dumpster can apply to both men and women.

The cultural mainstream is now typically much more critical of this type of language, and this comic would likely be heavily criticized if it were published today. | {{w|Faggot (slang)|Fag}}, {{w|ass pirate}}, {{w|fudge packer}}, and {{w|List of LGBT slang terms|cock jockey}} are all insults for a {{w|homosexual}} man, while cum dumpster can apply to both men and women.
