The author doesn't understand what the phrase "male gaze" means.

Edit: on reflection I wonder if in fact the author does understand because the final panel is very much in line with the kind of sexualised representation of females decried by feminists. It may be subtley on the point but meta.

I wondered if the idea was before the visor came off, anyone could have been a dude for all they cared, but once the visor came off, they saw a sexy woman and that changed their interaction.

I think I've seen it used in the same, albeit incorrect, context before to be fair.

Yes, it seems most people don't understand what the term means.

It’d be extra punchy, if the frisbee also turned into a 🐚, and the cap into 🍈.

But then it would be harder to tell it was the same person.
