You're correct about the definitions, but you're also making it out to be a bigger deal then necessary. You don't need to dump a dictionary entry on someone who clearly knows the difference to make your point.
It's easy to tell which Texas they're talking about simply by applying Occam's razor. An image about Arknights is most likely going to refer to the character, not the state. If they were talking about the state, they would make it obvious in the next panel (basically a bait_and_switch). It would only be legitimately confusing for those that don't know anything about the game, and those people are not the intended audience.
That said, I think the joke would have more impact if Sora was on the right, so her line is read last. Or it could be changed to "I want to mess with Texas" (like the phrase "Don't mess with Texas") and still retain its meaning.

Hey, I'm not the one resorting to name-calling. Though I do admittedly really hate linguistic erosion.

I'm not familiar with Arknights. And, still, the meaning of "fuck with" can be intended to be different for either character. The grey-haired one certainly looks ready to pull a mean-spirited prank of some sort.

Oh, you do actually think that's what she means?

There's no need to make this personal. And for all I know the grey-haired character could have some sort of problem with the state of Texas and the joke is the difference between the meaning of the same sentence. I thought it was a possibility because there'd be more of a point with the picture this way, other than just two characters expressing lust for a third one.
It's not two characters expressing lust. The commentary literally explains the joke. One character is talking about sex, the other isn’t. Different meanings from the same phrase. But they are both referring to the character named Texas, there's no ambiguity there just becauee you're not the target audience.
I already said using "fuck with" to mean sex is atypical, but not unheard of.
Yes, it's not the usual everyday way to use the phrase, but it's also very easy to figure out from context clues what someone means if they do use it that way. You're just being difficult and making a big deal out of nothing just because a dictionary doesn't account for linguistic malleability.

Fucking get over yourself.
Jesus Fucking Christ.
You are just being an obtuse twat. You can't even claim ignorance because you said that you know that Texas is a name in the franchise

While you claim to immediately reply to my first comment with saying that you know Texas is a character.
Cut the bullshit.

No, I'm saying it's a missed opportunity for a pun.

Ah, I missed that. Well, I guess that answers my question, thanks.

Sure, if you think it's fine to treat language like it's not important to communicate clearly, then I am. I certainly don't think highly of people who don't try to speak properly, either.

Why should I?
That's not a rhetorical question. By all means, if you think there's a good reason why I shouldn't be a grammar nazi, by all means tell me. I'll consider it, I promise.

But that doesn't mean that there couldn't be a wordplay involved. And as it turns out, there was.

Well, I could infer that might possibly be a character. And then you confirmed it.

I'm adding voice actor connection request because we all know voice actor connection was improperly added for Dokibird but I am NOT checking all those fucking characters on the offchance two of them share a voice actor.
