There's something very precious about a movement that seeks to turn away as many people as possible.

Big problem with the tournament bracket: Red Panels and Stonetoss have separate entries. Overwhelming thread consensus is that they are one and the same, starting over after doxxing himself.

Of course, although it's unlikely, I'd lose my poo poo if they both ended up in the final round.

Responses to bracket comments:

-If you don't know who a cartoonist is, then google the name or just vote for the other guy. You're not going to know every name on the list and one cartoon is not going to change that.
-Brackets were very hard because it's hard to probably "seed" something like this. There's a lot of lovely people, and not enough edge cases where someone wouldn't feel it's bad matchup. That's why people like Latuff and Cagle made the cut.
-Also, this poo poo is subjective. Some people find the dad jokes of JRRose terrible, others find it redeeming enough to vote for someone else. Some thing Dees puts out hilarious over-the-top images, whereas others don't think it covers up his antisemitism and varying other bigotries.

So you know, relax and enjoy the ride.

I was enjoying the challenging matchups. They are hard, like the "which scares me more, After Eden's excuses for christian evils, or Ben "Actually let's kill people" Garrison

I agree. He's exactly the sort of person who would take the time to draw Lowtax in a dirty SJW diaper and write an article about how SA is failing and irrelevant and that's why he totally proved how much he doesn't care by paying it so much attention.

Garrison panics realizing he didn’t leave room on Lowtax for the ‘spineless’ label.

I'm all for this Bad Cartoonist Death Tournament, but I suggest adding a disclaimer or explanation for the general public of what we mean by "worst", and particularly how it doesn't just boil down to "has the most alt-right aligning views", because i can already picture Branco, KKKlurf or The Lesser McCoy catching wind of their victory and being like "oh I'm the WORST?? the one that TRIGGERS YOU THE MOST???"

You can download your file from Facebook and see what they have. Most of it is stuff you yourself put there, but then there's things like your contact list from your phone and how many times you have contacted them, what ads or "Are you a Gryffindor or Hufflepuff?" quizzes you've clicked on, and who has some of the info that FB shared.

I'm a fairly infrequent poster, and even mine was gigs of pictures, video, chats, timeline posts.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Wang Liming (Chinese: 王立铭; pinyin: Wáng Lìmíng; born 1973), better known under the pseudonym Rebel Pepper (变态辣椒), is a Chinese political cartoonist who has left China to live in Japan.[1] Wang left China out of fears for his safety resulting from the increasing crackdown on freedom of expression by the Chinese Communist Party

By March 2012, Liming reported that his user account on Sina Weibo had been deleted over 180 times.[3] In July 2014, his microblog accounts were deleted from the sites of two major Chinese media companies, Sina and Tencent – from which he'd been reaching close to 1 million followers. His page on the wiki-based Baidu Encyclopedia was also removed, along with his store on the e-commerce platform Taobao.[1] The People’s Daily has accused Wang of being a “Japan-worshipping traitor” and called for his arrest.[4] After losing his sources of income, he has made a public appeal for financial help

Wang start drawing political cartoons in 2009, and originally coined the name 'Perverse Pepper' (biantai lajiao) for himself – later modifying it for English usage at the suggestion of a Taiwanese friend. He frequently draws himself into his cartoons, as 'the Pepper', described by one journalist as a "sometimes sad, sometimes oblivious, sometimes lascivious chili, with large, intense eyes".

In 2012, Liming depicted the Communist Party as an anglerfish hypnotizing smaller fish (the Chinese people) with the image of Lei Feng, a famous soldier in the People's Liberation Army.[3] He has satirized President Xi Jinping, depicting Xi as a steamed dumpling surrounded by other breakfast foods 'kowtowing' to him as an old-time emperor;[6] and as a shirtless post-coital smoker in bed with a young man. Wang depicted former leader Mao Zedong boasting of his 'victim count' to leaders of Islamic State.[1]

His work often appears in China Digital Times and its related publications. In February 2016, he created artwork in support of persecuted lawyer Zhang Kai, who had worked with Christians to fight the government's removal of crucifixes from churches in Wenzhou.[7]

Other politically active Chinese cartoonists and artists include Badiucao, Cheng Tao, DSX, Kuang Biao, Xu Pengfei and Zhu Senlin.
