I accept I'm the mothman

I'm so glad you shared a blurry low-quality version with an ifunny watermark on it, instead of spending mere seconds to find the original. I wouldn't have known it was funny if it wasn't for that watermark.

Just in case there's some sicko that wants to see the art, that someone spent time creating, in full quality... here's the original:

Fuck yeah, get em. (serious)

What a nice comic. I'm sure people will want to push the metaphor too far, please don't.

if they could just accept the comic for what it is
Sure, but in this political climate, I'm very very skeptical of a message telling people not to change themselves and to just accept themselves as who they are. The metaphor is so obvious that denial of it seems in bad faith.
There's a particular form of toxic positivity on the left, a form of transphobia that tries to maintain respectability among the left. It says, "you're valid. I respect your identity. But also, you don't need medical care to change your body, and kids especially don't need access to that care. You're heckin' valid and I support you 100%. But I also need you to not change your body. I respect your identity, but it's also extremely important that I be able to tell who is trans just by looking at them. It's important that you accept yourself so that I can identify you."
Worm to caterpillars: "If I could do it, so can you."
- The real life version works in reverse, sadly.

Butterfly: “We’ll always be here for you.”

Moth: “LAAAMP!!”

In French moths and butterflies are called papillons. There is sometimes a distinction between butterflies and "night butterflies" (moths) but in the end, they are all papillons.

papillon sounds like something i could order at a French restaurant
- You'd be served dog, probably. This breed is called papillon because its ears look like butterflies.
- You probably could, as papillote is something cooked wrapped in aluminium or parchment paper. The name comes from a candy that was wrapped in shiny paper and looked like a butterfly. So by extension now it's also for any food that's cooked wrapped in something. You can have a vegetable papillote, a salmon papillote, or a veal papillote.
Shadow Hearts: Covenant is where I learned that papillon means butterfly.
- Wow Baldurs Gate 3 looks wildly different from what I remembered.
- Unexpected Shadow Hearts mention in the wild.
  Nice.
