The comic Bitchy Butch is a spin-off from Roberta Gregory's [[Bitchy Bitch]]. The nameless character [['''Bitchy Butch]]''' (sometimes called "Butchy") is a homosexual counterpart of the other comic's protagonist Midge. Published as one stand alone album as well as in Naughty Bits.
 
=== Has Examples Of ===
 
* [[Aggressive Categorism]]: Butchy do this all the time, living in her own unhealthy little world where all men (and all heterosexual women) are total [[Jerkass|Jerkasses]]es. The only time managed to see a guy for the nice person he really is, she refused to see that he's male.
* [[Author Avatar]]: The author herself makes guest appearances as a character in the comic. Sometimes as narrator, and sometimes bickering with the main character.
* [[Badass Gay]]: Butchy is one... in her daydreams.
Line 15:
* [[Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence]]: This trope is a stock complaint from various versions of [[The Fundamentalist]], feeling oppressed by the existence of Atheists and Gays and so on. Even when the Atheists and Gays are simply minding their own business. ''Especially'' then, actually, since they thus send the heretical political message that they somehow deserve to exist.
** We also have butchy herself, with these feelings against men and heterosexuals.
* [[Heteronormative Crusader]]: They are ''everywhere''. (But only some of them are real - others are [[Windmill|Windmills]]s in Butchy's own mind.)
* [[Het Is Ew]]: From Butchy's point of view.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: The core premise of these comics.
* [[Internalized Categorism]]: The heroine learned in her teens that she's a horrible person, and took it to heart. As an adult, she doesn't believe in that stuff anymore, but it's obvious that she still has a lot of self-hatred inside her and that her aggressive attitude is partly an overcompensation for this.
* [[Lipstick Lesbian]]: Butchy hates them. Because they are "traitors". Because they "[[Real Women Never Wear Dresses|are not real lesbians]]". And most importantly because they won't sleep with her, although she'd never admit that this is part of the problem.
Line 24:
* [[Sour Prudes]]: Butchy never seem to quit whining about supposedly prudish women, mostly because she's frustrated that they won't leave their boyfriends and start having sex with ''her'' instead. Ironically, it's hinted that Butchy herself has been quite the [[Sour Prudes]] to her previous girlfriends (only hinted, since the stories are all told from [[Unreliable Narrator|her biased perspective]] where everything was always their fault and never hers) .
* [[Troubled Sympathetic Bigot]]: Butchy is often portrayed this way, unlike her more genuinely unsympathetic counterpart [[Bitchy Bitch|Midge]].
* [[Windmill Crusader]]: [[Bitchy Butch]] is infamous for this among her fellow LGBTQ activists. She's paranoid about men (oppressors all of them!) and heterosexual women (traitors!) as well as lesbians (potential traitors, "not real", or whatever), and see [[Heteronormative Crusader|the religious right]] in every shadow.
* [[Windmill Political]]: In Butchy's somewhat unhealthy mind, pretty much everyone is either a [[Heteronormative Crusader]] or a traitor who has given in to them. [[He Who Fights Monsters|Ironically]], this paranoia makes her narrow-minded and effectively a bit of a [[Heteronormative Crusader]] herself.
* [[You Are What You Hate]]: Butchy hates bigots, but quite frankly she ''is'' a bigot. Mostly against other lesbians, who she hate for not being as maladjusted as herself. One of her targets for this is the author herself (who exists as a semi-character inside the comic). Also, she hate bisexuals, but in one of the episodes she has a crush on a gay guy.
