Man, throw in a drone and this is peak Rall. "Hmm, a bunch of people were just killed over their cartoons... but how can I make this about me?"

Well, compared to the vile poo poo that is being produced in discussions about the attacks, not even the lovely cartoons don't bug me too much. Except Muir and Lester, gently caress those guys. Rincewinds fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Jan 8, 2015 |

Giving Branco the benefit of the doubt here but he could just have drawn a gun on himself to show that he's just as vulnerable to being attacked for drawing people badly and therefore feels some solidarity with the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists. Or it could just be that Branco is a huge poo poo. It's probably that.

But just to compare:  I seriously can't see the difference, other than one has better art. Edit: and at least Kelly isn't piggybacking off of 12 dead people.

This is what I was thinking. If he thought the cartoonists should be armed, he'd have been less subtle and sympathetic towards them.

Dick Trauma posted:So is he ambidextrous or is he wearing two pistols Yosemite Sam style? Someone didn't watch Breaking Bad, I take it. If you're sitting down it's harder to draw your gun if it's on the same side as your dominant hand, so you want to cross-draw instead. At least that's what the TV taught me, I know absolutely nothing about guns

If the point was "they should have had guns" I think that might be the most subtle Bronco ever by a mile. So he probably was just drawing himself and is the kind of person that does everything while armed. Edit: On further thought though, Bronco is terrible and the terrible way to read it is exactly "they should have had guns, then this wouldn't have happened."

Flowers For Algeria posted:But enough about Kelly, the topic is Charlie Hebdo. Kelly I feel is so much less crass there isn't such a danger of its being reappropriated. Your context is not the one that people in the Anglosphere share, and when the photo of an angry Muslim is shared, the crude, offensive, stereotyped drawing of a Muslim is one that sticks out - big noses, brown skin, big bushy beards - it's hardly a devastating critique of an oppressive ideology that people with a sense for social justice should avoid. Instead, it's bound to be popular among the types of people the left shouldn't want to associate with, in the Anglosphere at least. You can rest assured they don't care at all about the nuances of the context of French satire or the actual contents of the magazine. This is why debate and critique of the cartoons is so necessary. The fact that the subtext of the Boko Haram cartoon in particular was completely lost on me doesn't make me deficient at Correct Interpretation, it says their cartoons aren't great vehicles for their message now that the magazine has a lot more exposure, obviously in a way completely unintended and completely undeserved by the cartoonists. But, now I consider France's history with Muslims, it's hard for me to accept those caricatures exist solely in the context you're pushing here.

Maybe Ward Sutton is a time traveler and his cartoon is making fun of Ted Rall before he even posted it.

Hahaha Ted you unbelievable fucker! On the subject of the French attacks I just hope now that Euro governments/people don't play directly into the terrorists hands by punishing their peaceful Muslim populations. It would just really suck if there was yet another horrific terrorist attack that gave the perpetrators everything they wanted
