Thread would be better off without them IMO. We should let him stay, at least Mac tries his best to imitate this Human art called "making cartoons". Not bad for an alien from a dumbass species known for blowing up McDonald's and throwing kids in wheelchairs over cliffs.

goatface posted:Mac's not seen a child since 1987. I love how Mac can't even avoid getting a bit of classism in there - the broken down cars, the pram in the snow and the bottles just inside the door. ^ I think we should keep Mac. He's loving awful, but helps remind us of the kind of commentators (and readers) out there - retreating into a bubble is never a good thing.

Yeah, a while back the thread was just Bell and Rowson and while I'm sad we can no longer pretend we are the land of No Bad Cartoons it's far better to have the terrible people to make fun of. I actually miss Paul Thomas' godawful political scribbles. And Gender Survey Kid is just mad they apparently only asked 'GIRL OR BOY?' rather than allowing options for non-binary gender identities and those who are questioning. Mac has very strong views on inclusive survey methodology.

We should keep Mac so that when the auld oval office finally kicks the bucket the rage he induces will be fresher so we can enjoy his demise more.

We definitely need a :mac: emote though, should all chip in to get one made. Have the racist tribal mask wobbling back and forth with 'gently caress off' written in the Mail logo font next to it. Good for all situations involving garbo racists, not just cartoons!
