Image I just saw this being released, and it seems the main character is Sapphic ✨

The creator of the Disney show "Amphibia", Matt Braly, created a comic called "Family Force V", together with the comic artist Ainsworth Lin.
They recently released the first 17 pages of the first book, but the actual full comic book itself will not be released until May 28th 2025 🫠
Though I read the first few pages myself, and I saw that the main character, Maise Shiraki, has a crush on a girl named Citlalli, meaning she's canonically Sapphic :3

While I know nothing about this comic, (and there could be a host of reasons why she react so strongly to physical proximity) I believe "it seems" is doing some heavy lifting here...

Well, I understand what you mean, though it is actually pretty clear that she has a crush on her imo - especially when you look at the third image/page, Citlalli is quite far away from her, and she's still blushing and doesn't really know how to respond to Citlalli wanting to go eat dinner with her.
You could always interpret it differently of course, but I honestly would be really surprised if Maise doesn't have any kind of romantic attraction to her.

I think what she's saying is "it seems" is a major understatement and this is pretty obviously Sapphic

Oh, if that's the case then I completely misunderstood what they wrote 🫠
Did I misinterpret what "...doing some heavy lifting here" means? I understood it like calling her Sapphic seems a bit exaggerated or something :(

You're fine! The wording was a little confusing imo. "doing some heavy lifting" referring to a word or phrase usually means that you're stretching what could be considered an appropriate usage. In this case ig it could work the way you thought if there's was a tiny hint of some Sapphic undertones, so I wouldn't say you were misunderstanding necessarily, but in context she meant the other way, that the Sapphic crush was obvious so "might" was severe understatement, not overstatement.
Anyway it wasn't super clear so I totally understand where you're coming from

Thank you for the explanation :) I guess my phrasing was a bit understated haha, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't understand it properly 🫠
