Was gonna post this. I like Local Hero Bagley and all, but turning frat rapes into what is essentially a "thing happened" to take potshots at others isn't any better when our side does it.

Bagley's done it before too, there was one about 4-5 years ago with a woman representing the US public in a back alley, having obviously just been raped by a bunch of bankers, who were zipping up their flies. Couldn't find an archived version but yeah, it seems like a bit of a blind spot for him.

Phi Lambda Male? I don't get why American universities have Greek designations for their dorms, I'm probably missing something here.
Yeah, you're missing that they are secretive fraternal organizations designed to concentrate male political power. The fact that they live together in a special dorm is kind of secondary. I think most people who aren't in them don't like them.

Yeah and the weird thing with these sort of rape metaphors is how many white male liberal cartoonists keep using them

Usually they're too busy calling the victims sluts so I don't think they use the metaphor much at all.

If this cartoon featured Obama, Joe Biden, and Harry Reid about to date rape Lady Liberty I imagine it would get significantly less accolades from this thread
And I bet Ramirez would get less ridicule for depicting Obama on an aircraft carrier if he used Bush instead.

It took me a bit to notice that one actually, I just read "foreign money" first and thought it was a rant about dirty foreigners in general.

edit: seriously though, I assumed there were a million foreign business money related things that influenced US elections, even if they aren't necessarily expressed in literal cash dollars at that exact moment.

Oh well I guess you haven't heard about Bill and Hillary secretly conspiring to make money off the "reboot" with Russia and how they indirectly-if-you-connect-the-dots sold 20% of the US uranium stockpile to Russia to fund her campaign while she was SoS.

You'll hear about it soon I'm guessing.

I dunno, man, why are US toons all bubbly and childlike? Why would different traditions of satire give rise to different comic forms? It's a mystery for the ages, I guess.

New York City is a place where you can find StopRape!!! graffitied onto walls, but when a middle aged serial rapist that targets vulnerable girls half his age (just check his Facebook, his trophy gallery is appalling) gets my mentally ill fiancee drunk and rapes her people furiously deny that it's rape. Hashtag culture. #NotRape! #OverlyDenseSentence


Thank you, really, I was much happier not knowing the context of this. My shoulders are pressed against my ears, I'm cringing so hard. gently caress. Eww.
