Nice. You assume that all straight cis men are sexist asshats...

That's not the point of the comic, the straightball is a personified version of cis straight men. This is because a lot of cis straight men are in fact like that lol, everybody in the comic is a over personified version of the sexuality/gender/whatever

I fail to see how what I said and what you said are any different. It's playing on a stereotype - "a personified version of cis straight men" - that assumes that all straight cis men are like that - "because a lot of cis straight men are in fact like that." The problem is, "a lot" doesn't mean all or even a majority. It's hard to argue that your sexual and gender identity should be treated with respect when you don't extend the same to others.

If the character was "super-straight Steve"? Then I wouldn't be making a fuss. F**k those guys.

okay, but stereotyping doesn't always mean saying they are all like that, the genderball thing is taking stereotypes and personifying the stereotypes because thats how the gender is portrayed.

the point of the comics is not to attack people but more so to portray how those types of people usually act, because a lot of the time (like how it is shown in the comic) straight cis dudes for example act weird to women for like no reason.

I see your point, but that isn't the purpose of the comic so it doesn't make much sense to me

"In social psychology, a stereotype is a fixed, over generalized belief about a particular group or class of people. By stereotyping we infer that a person has a whole range of characteristics and abilities that we assume ***all members*** of that group have."

From the following article: https://www.simplypsychology.org/katz-braly.html
Emphasis is mine.

I agree that stereotyping straights is bad and it's just as bad as stereotyping gays, and I didn't really find this comic funny, but all "(insert something)ball" comics base their humor on stereotypes. polandball is based on national stereotypes, polcompball is based on political stereotypes, therefore i don't really think it's fair to criticize an lgbtball comic because it had sexuality-based stereotypes.
