I'd like to formally suggest two new rules for Gay Abortion Award nomiations: 1. There is no longer a limit to how many cartoons each poster may nominate for each award; we're nominating by the seat of our pants now and it would suck to use up one's chance to nominate something worse that comes along and have to beg others to nominate it. 2. All nominations across all categories except Best Edit/Parody are now automatically considered for Overall Worst Political Cartoon. Cartoons that do not quite fit into any of the other categories well enough may still be nominated specifically for Overall Worst. And now, another batch: Gaybies nomination: Worst Gaslighter Cartoon Gaybies nomination: Worst Gaslighter Cartoon Gaybies nomination: Least Concealed Bigotry (LGBT) in a Cartoon

Before I fell into a cycle of homelessness, I had to get my paychecks cashed at check cashing places. They're a loving scam and precisely why we need public banking, a breaking up of the banks, and the socializing of finance.

Granted the art is still Rall (the pants alone are eldritch horrors) but as you point out, we're grading on a curve. I still can’t get over guy number 2’s hair. Like... does Rall not have an editor?

Tim Kreider wrote an essay about politics, mostly points often made here already, no accompanying drawing though he references the Aztec one he made way back: http://timkreider.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/American-Solstice.pdf?fbclid=IwAR2SfbZ0pX80DJjHHreX4YYK4jRXWck7I_N4mv_nKKIF2wnyAo8bi5OkSNs quote:There's no returning to world-order-as-usual, even if we do elect another storebrought technocrat. The rest of the world won't forget what it realized in these years: that America can't be counted on. Much as the rest of the West justifiably gripes about America, they've now gotten a glimpse of what the world would look like without us, with no one in charge. Once your dad has abandoned the family, blown your college fund on cocaine, and eloped with the babysitter, it's hard to accept his reassurances when, five months later, he returns, contrite, broke, and fresh out of rehab, promising he's still good old Dad.

I don't feel like Lovecraft needs defending, but I think the second world war served as the final point where bigotry could be ignored. Anyone after that point has no reasonable excuse anymore, because it was a world-wide wake up call. It took America a few decades to still "get it" though. And we're still going forward, despite dipshits dragging us back. A lot of gay and trans people identify very powerfully with Lovecrafts narrative because at his heart he was always an outsider who didn't "get" people. He was always a shithead because he was a recluse. And his stories reflect this and for some reason it resonates with people. Again I don't think this excuses him or anything. But we don't see a lot of writing like his anymore, and I'm not referring to the racism. The prose he put forth is only really duplicated, imitated or reused directly. And I'm not sure why. And it's kinda sad that all discussion just goes back to the worst parts of his writing, but at the same time I understand why. I don't have much else to add. I didn't read much of his work. But osmosis of Cthulhu mythos is powerful. And maybe that is the purest form his literature will take.

Speaking of Lovecraft here are a couple of books that deal with him, his stories and his racism. They're both really good, and in googling a picture, I found out HBO is turning Lovecraft country into a series.

Watched it. Made me realise how lucky I was to have the dad I did. Lester's gonna die of cancer but I genuinely hope a truck gets there first. And before any of y'all capitalism wonks start complaining, someone wanted to make that short film and Gillette decided it was gonna put some money behind it and stick its brand on the fucker. Including putting itself out there as one of the baddies. That poo poo would scare the pants off of most boards of directors. Some folks had to fight pretty loving hard to get that thing made. I'm glad they did. Somfin fucked around with this message at 12:16 on Jan 16, 2019 |

It always amazes me how poorly some men react to a message of "I think we should try to encourage people to be a bit less poo poo, especially young boys." Like you would think that the worst anyone could react to this would be with a smug "Well they mean everyone but me obviously, I'm perfect." But no. So many guys are extremely hype to jump on the train of "gently caress YOU, HOW YOU DARE YOU IMPLY THAT THERE IS LITERALLY A SINGLE MAN ON THE PLANET THAT COULD STAND TO BE EVEN SLIGHTLY BETTER"

I will say I've learned a lot about how propaganda is constructed from having the stonefuck poo poo being posted here. I'm not a fan of spreading those things around more but dude gets a big enough fuckin audience on twitter and imgur and stuff, a bunch of goons staring in horror at them and explaining how it is they work as propaganda pieces isn't a huge lot of extra damage.

It took me learning that feminism benefitted me as much as women for me to not be a shithead anymore and it just annoys me that these guys can't see it. Really, everybody gains, nobody loses. But they can't see it for what it is.

I'm a little late to the Lovecraft chat, but if you assume the secret ancestry story is autobiographical, Lovecraft's family secret that sent him spiraling into depression and a nervous breakdown was that he was part Welsh. That's how racist he was.

I can't count how many times I've seen guys like this complain that society expects men to be unemotional and never ask for support even when they need it. It's a real problem! It's toxic masculinity! But they just get so hung up on the name, like "oh so EVERYTHING masculine is TOXIC now??" I can't really be surprised that this group has so much overlap with the guys who insist on "egalitarianism" because they can't get over feminism having "fem" in it.

THE BAR posted:He did make that comic one time, that gave me a serious craving for curry. But now that we’ve got the recipe, does he really need to stay? Jerry Cotton posted:Judging by what's going on in the world, it most definitely "isn't seen as" a bad thing nowadays, either. It’s not acceptable to be overtly racist anymore, which is why most of them try to hide behind dogwhistles like “race realism” or “white nationalism” or economic issues like welfare. The downside is it makes it harder to call out racism since they’ve gotten good at submerging it and giving themselves deniability. Remember what Lee Atwater said: Lee Atwater posted:You start out in 1954 by saying, “friend of the family, friend of the family, friend of the family.” By 1968 you can’t say “friend of the family”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “friend of the family, friend of the family.” D.N. Nation posted:"Waaah, everyone's mean about the First Lady's fashion sense" definitely doesn't make you look like a whiny-rear end GOP pud, Drinky. Also it’s funny how he’s making a joke about Melania pretending to be Michelle Obama when she got in trouble for plagiarizing Michelle Obama. I almost think that’s the joke, but Tinsley’s not that clever.

D.N. Nation posted:....wasn't the dinosaur originally red? Good job, Allie. So the creator farmed out the art to an artist who farmed out the coloring to a colorist. Not that working with a colorist is a bad thing, but it’s like working on a Spider-Man comic with a colorist is has literally never read a Spider-Man comic or the current series before they go to work.
