In general, any cartoon that is posted in the thread for making fun of cartoons is going to get made fun of, sorry everyone, but if it's any consolation, I ran the numbers and it turns out that's ok

It's weird in that the most milquetoast criticisms about Zelda will get like a dozen hostile responses. Like you are only allowed to call it the greatest piece of art ever with absolutely no flaws or something. It's pretty bizarre considering, like you say, pretty much every other post in this thread is making GBS threads in some cartoon or another.

Hey this comic actually might have been right for the wrong reasons if not for the fact that Ramirez can't draw for poo poo.

Had to make the cheeks match so he could get away with giving Schumer a big nose.

Especially since it's the most boring comic in the thread. It's multi-panel feminist Marmaduke with lukewarm takes limper than Trump swiped from 90's sitcoms. Octopus Pie already did the progressive twenty-somethings in the big city better in every way.

Not inherently but context is key. If you're trying to walk the line specifically to get a rise out of people then it is absolutely harassment.

Pointing out little inconsistencies is fun, except for the people who seem to think doing so proves it’s a bad comic and they can get it pulled if only they can logically prove it’s bad.

Siiiiiiiiiiigh.

"High cheekbones" is a Native American stereotype going back literally hundreds of years and Elizabeth Warren's grandmother told her that that's where the family got their high cheekbones.

This is just Tinsley dog whistling so loving hard his head should have popped if it wasn't held together by the pressure inside his own rear end in a top hat.

Pretty good

I actually don't think that the backlash against the backlash against Zelda is real, and furthermore, it's the people who don't like it who are wrong and mad, to be honest. All you have to do is look at the posts and read them. It's pretty straightforward. I'm neither wrong nor mad, because it's a good comic that I like. Thanks for reading.

I didn’t know that’s what he meant (I thought he was just making a crack about her face I hadn’t noticed since I’m not obsessed with her) because I don’t know all this old racist grandpa poo poo.

"This Tinsely seems inoffensive/good and not in an AGC way" is always a good hint that there's something bigoted going on that you just aren't informed on.
