Zulily Zoetrope posted:I mean, it is a powerful nation denying the sovereignty of a weaker neighbor, invading with the intent of occupying and subjugating it, and without a care for any war crimes or crimes against humanity that happen in the process, on a paper-thin pretense of self-defense and rooting out dangerous anti-semites. The global response has overwhelmingly been condemnation of the aggressor, and the aggressor has suffered absolutely crippling boycotts, divestments and sanctons. Oh yeah, true. Once I saw the tankie argument was "Azov put bases and weapons under schools and hospitals and residential areas, Russia has no choice but to level those areas unfortunately, it's regrettable that civilians are being used as cover for their Nazi ways but Russia must do it and it's Azov who's responsible for all the civilian deaths," I completely understood why Kirschen could theoretically be on board with what Russia was doing, since it's the same argument assholes like him love to use for the genocide of the Palestinians. That said I don't know that Kirschen is necessarily actually on Russia's side, based on this cartoon: This seems like it's probably critical of Putin? It's hard to tell. It could be "big bad Russian tanks running over civilians" or it could be "big strong Russian tanks taking out evil Nazis." I mean, Kirschen is the dude who drew a happy smiling Assad using gas on Muslims which I don't think we ever determined if it was pro or anti Assad. Space Cadet Omoly posted:

Vincent Van Goatse posted:Until he stops his literal war with Ukraine, probably. Until then you'll have to deal with Putin comics, just like the Ukrainians have to deal with Russian missiles destroying their homes. I'm sure the Ukrainians sympathize with your predicament. Yes, Putin is corrupt, and rigged the system to keep himself in power indefinitely, but he’s also incredibly popular and the majority of the country would probably agree with whatever he wanted no matter what, because he knows how to touch and respond to the deep-seated insecurities of a people who believe themselves to be the absolute best in the world and see every single contradiction to that as being caused by the meddling of western saboteurs. But no, Putin is probably just a whacky guy whose motives are totally random nonsense. Who knows what that guy will do next!

Kit Walker posted:gently caress off with that poo poo. My complaint isn’t that cartoonists are mean to Putin, my complaint is that no one bothers offering more than the most tepid and superficial commentary on anything. I know I’m the idiot for expecting more from this medium but it’s a reflection of the news at large which generally isn’t much better. Here’s the thing: half of my family is Ukrainian, but more accurately they’re from the USSR, and I haven’t spoken to them about the conflict because they’re also huuuuuuge fans of Putin, and I don’t want to hear whatever monstrous mental gymnastics they’re going to pull to justify any of this. The existence of the USSR didn’t end that long ago, and there are many people still alive who grew up there and have murky allegiances VVG's entire schtick is to go digging for lovely, obviously uncalled-for interpretations to try to rile people up. It has been years since their gimmick was funny.

Neito posted:I wonder if, and this could just be me overanalyzing a B-tier webcartoonist's life, but I wonder if part of the problem is that Tatsy was "kinda a feminist" in like the 90s/2000s and treated his dumb poo poo like he had finished the final of Feminism and was now A Feminist, rather than viewing it like it is, which is an ongoing dialog and re-evaluation of his views as the world progresses. I’ve been intending to do a dump of those proto-Sinfest strips, so perhaps some time this month.

I started reading that Sinfest recap and then abruptly realized that I don't actually want to know more about Sinfest. Really don't know how you guys manage it. Not a criticism, just a statement.

I think you get less out of it if you hadn’t read the comic back in its heyday. It’s a real roller-coaster as Ishida turning from 00s college stoner comedy to radical feminism to some hosed-up religious conservatism that Ishida seems to at least subconsciously understand is at odds with itself. Which is likely why his already poor grab bag of symbols and metaphors has become increasingly muddied if not outright indecipherable. If nothing else, Ishida’s consistent and long-running output gives you one of the most well-documented timelines of the terf to fascist pipeline.

Rall: Stay Home As I Say, Don't Invade As I Do It's the CounterPoint cartoon Rall made a few days ago but today has his explainer: Ted Rall posted:Joe Biden and the media outlets that support the Democratic narrative support Ukraine against Russian invasion without pausing to consider the fact that the United States is by far the biggest interventionist power in modern history. A nation that carries out drone strikes, assassinations, covert coups d’état and massive invasions and occupations of countries all over the planet has no moral standing to complain about the actions of any other country. First Dog on the Moon: Once in 1,000 year floods yet nobody is talking about climate change (everyone is talking about it but the government)

gently caress you Clay Jones, you could have at least looked up the actual metro stations in Kiev instead of going for a lovely "What is a Eastern Europe word?" joke. Even if you're trying to go for "people have lovely takes on what is considered actual crime against humanity" do not ridicule the people who are in an active war zone by putting in a joke like that.

kartikeya posted:"This is a bad thing." -- Tatsuya Ishida It's a response to people saying that things like masks and the vaccine are for the greater good. "For the greater good" is a phrase that right wingers are immediately suspicious of and oppose because it's usually used to justify policies they hate.

I love that stupid hate for post humanism because in a very real way it's already here: We already have implants to help certain medical conditions and I'm stoked for those limb assisting harnesses. That's right Ishida, instead of making up neferious conspiracies to be afraid of let's instead appreciate the ways we will make people's lives better and fuller.

I would hope the next generation get the strength of character to call out bigotry in any form instead of whatever this is vaguely implying. A strangely hunky Stalin.
