I just wanted to say I appreciate these international cartoons, especially the translations and context. After a while, my eyes are just glazing over at the US cartoons that all have the asinine commentary on the same problems over and over again. The mass shooting ones have been particularly bad in that regard.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:Also it’s not even a “both are fine” cartoon because the moustache dude is clearly the same guy in both pictures, which makes it a comparison of “a parent forced into a relationship with someone he is not attracted to, because his loving someone is a crime that puts his life at risk” versus “two parents in love and supporting one another.” One option is obviously preferable. Bi women, maybe.

Stultus Maximus posted:Video games and Hollywood, of course. One of the few pleasant memories from the Trump era was his attempt to blame the 2019 El Paso shooting on violent video games, and that narrative entirely fizzling out quickly, even in Trump-sympathetic media, beyond simply reporting that the president had said that.

What's the matter, Ben? I thought Musk buying Twitter was going to be a glorious moment for Free Speech. What changed, Ben? Was it Musk pulling a pump-and-dump and you're just trying to justify it to yourself? What changed, Ben?

Vib Rib posted:I noticed this a week or two ago and I was pretty shocked. Imgur was stubbornly centrist or even right-leaning last I checked it, and was pretty gung-ho on the idea of being able to run protestors over around the time that was big in discourse. But then I glanced at the front page and there was a ton of anti-capitalist memes and every top comment is about how cops were born of slavecatchers and the entire system must be torn down. They even turned on Musk, which I would never have expected.

Raised By Birds posted:Tony Branco The funny thing about this is that Libertarian and Conservative think tanks constantly have Canada as a country with more freedom than the US, so even using their own metrics this is hogwash. The Frasier institute has Canada at number 6 and the US at 15 for freedom. https://www.fraserinstitute.org/studies/human-freedom-index-2021 Canada is number 15 on the freest counties list the US is at 25 by the heritage foundations, a conservative think tank. https://www.heritage.org/index/ranking VVV edit: My husband doom scrolls imgur as a hobby thinks that the left turn is because the Russian trolls are otherwise busy, and this is allegedly the standard take on the website.

And yeah, during the last couple of years it seems to have gotten both more visibly political as well as generally more left-wing, especially when it comes to unions and worker's rights.

We gotta keep this poo poo contained!But yeah, in all seriousness it really is one of the worst Sinfest comics ever drawn, and that's saying something. It's the perfect combination of transphobia, bashing public education, and belittling the real life deaths of actual children.
