What's this one- false analogy? Are they talking about something specific? Why do people think drag is inherently sexual?

It diverges from gender norms, so the same reason worm brains thing being gay or trans is inherently sexual in a way that being cis and straight is not.

Not to give this comic too much credit, but this particular strip ain't so bad. The bacon guy's lines could be almost verbatim what I've heard some people say to rile up vegans/vegetarians. "Yeah, meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder! Mmmm, murder!" I'm sure if I knew any of them now they'd throw in a "LOL, triggered?" on top.

I eat meat but if I didn't I imagine I'd get pretty sick of those folks trying to get in my face.

Christ, that's sure A Take.

I'm gonna give this one a third nom: Gaybies nomination: Least Concealed Bigotry (LGBT) in a Cartoon. I'm not sure if this is a dig on trans kids or if it's saying that there's something inherently sexual about a kid putting on what is effectively for them an over-the-top costume, but either way it's drawing direct equivalence between queerness and the decades-long rape of countless children and teenagers.

I wondered if there was a specific cross-dressing kid he was talking about. As if that wasn't a completely normal thing for kids to do.

Oh yeah, I agree. if this was the only strip like this.

But every single interaction between the two groups is summed up as three panels.

Panel 1:
*Non-vegan says something stupid*

Panel 2:
*Vegan Mary Sue proves he's wrong and an idiot*

Panel 3:
*Non-Vegan gets angry/confused/upset as perfect mary sue wins*

Sometimes the non-vegan says a smart thing and the vegan says the dumb thing and the artist doesn't realize. Like every strip where she claims humans are not biologically designed to eat meat

Meanwhile if you look at basically any underage "beauty pageant" in the US you'll see a bunch of little girls being definitely sexualized and exploited by bad parents, but they're heteronormative so it's ok.

Yeah I wouldn’t have known about it at all but it was local news but apperently it had a pretty big reach in the conservative outrage bubble (so nobody here would have seen it)

Edit: Oh. Apparently another kid in NYC also sparked the moral outrage so that’s probably actually the one targeted here. I’m glad I don’t live in the hate bubble. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/laurenstrapagiel/desmond-is-amazing-child-drag-queen

Yeah, like fifteen years ago, in 2004-ish, someone told me that it was child abuse and "sick" that my then-nine-year sister knew what homosexuality is.

Our mother is a lesbian. So am I, for that matter.

There's this weird sense that all things related to heterosexuality are fine and good and family friendly, and that anything even tangentially related to homosexuality is basically porn.

And now the right is going "WELL IF YOU LIKE AND ALLOW GAYS THEN WE'LL BE OPEN ABOUT BEING PEDOPHILES AND DEFEND THEM." Proving their self-obsessed prophesy right that legalized homosexuality will lead to legalized pedophila. Just, y'know, only certain powerful and rich people are allowed to do this evil poo poo and how dare you not correctly call what I am doing with my 13 year old wife.

It's a little personal for me because when I was a kid I always went to this one hobby shop to buy model airplanes and stuff, run by this old man. Then one day I learned that he had died of a heart attack chasing a shoplifter. It didn't involve a gun or anything but it was still part of the old man America mindset that you need to put your (or inadvertently others) life on the line to protect your store's wares.

That's what I want to die.

I assume it means 'it will hit people who are only nazi-adjacent, too, because shotguns have a wide spread of carnage per shot, and that's bad, but antifa loves killing innocent only nazi-adjacent people'.

So, yes, still AGC.

Mike Lester in the participation trophy is bad camp, right? Because running those numbers through produces 360,000,000 salary for men, while 9,490,000 for women. I think it is a bit of waste to pay 38 times the salary to a bunch of losers who can't even win.

Please stare intently at the 9% and 13%, and do not consider for a moment that 9% of 4 billion is 360 million while 13% of 73 million is 9.49 million. The important part is 13 > 9, not 360m > 9.49m.

He didn't put even the vaguest of citations on this so without knowing any possible story this could be about, I'm gonna assume that if this even happened, the issue here would be that the store clerk shouldn't have been armed in the first place? I don't really want Walmart cashiers to carry guns.
