This is the dumbest thing to focus on, but "in a genderless society everyone wears baggy beige" made me laugh. It isn't even true in the strip.

I like the xenofeminist take on it:

quote:

Xenofeminism is gender-abolitionist. ‘Gender abolitionism’ is not code for the eradication of what are currently considered ‘gendered’ traits from the human population. Under patriarchy, such a project could only spell disaster–the notion of what is ‘gendered’ sticks disproportionately to the feminine. But even if this balance were redressed, we have no interest in seeing the sexuate diversity of the world reduced. Let a hundred sexes bloom! ‘Gender abolitionism’ is shorthand for the ambition to construct a society where traits currently assembled under the rubric of gender, no longer furnish a grid for the asymmetric operation of power. ‘Race abolitionism’ expands into a similar formula–that the struggle must continue until currently racialized characteristics are no more a basis of discrimination than than the color of one’s eyes.

Racists think that race abolitionism means that everyone is some kind of average brown color through race mixing or cultural maoism or some poo poo because they are too stupid to imagine a world where they are not racist towards people on the basis of currently racialized characteristics.

Ishida thinks that gender abolitionism means that everyone wears baggy beige through woke transgender and evil doctors because...

I mean, it's probably the kinda thing you could do a minor joke about, but Ishida just divorces it from all context completely to the point that it's like a Penny Arcade joke; "it's funny if you've read this specific book and played this specific game in this specific way"

Also, it appears that Ishida has just started to wander incoherently into the "It doesn't matter, even if I'm wrong I'm right" area of argumentation

On one hand we won't have to see his lovely hateful cartoons anymore. On the other hand, nobody gives a poo poo about political cartoons except weirdos like us, so the amount of harm he was doing was pretty minimal, so he will hurt many more people through his new career. As much as I hate to say it, I'd rather he stayed a cartoonist.

Meanwhile, your side is represented by a weird immature literal demon spouting dismissive, childish, broken English and riding opulently in a chauffeured car owned by the actual loving devil. A demon who has in the past been depicted as being very callous and insensitive about other people's desires, inner lives, and identities, in a way even the strip condemns.

I'm looking forward to Ishida just siding with the devil and his evil corporation just like Scott Adams and the pointy-haired boss.

He's already making it out to be a terrible injustice that people dislike one of his main characters for living it up at the devils house and hanging with demons all the time.

The devils and demons are rich right, so according to his new right-wing ideology they're just smarter and better and more moral than everyone else.

If this one particular crime was committed by an illegal immigrant, then we don't have to address the monstrous, inhuman consequences our system enacts upon the 10 year old girl who is already a victim. Because, as we all know, no citizens ever commit rape. This was just a one time thing, no need to think about what happens the next time a child is assaulted!

even better, people have been complaining about it in the talk page for over a decade but apparently nobody has actually bothered to do anything

Yes! The character descriptions are total garbage obviously written from a far-left viewpoint (note reference to "wage slavery". The description of the characters provided by the creators of the strip can be found here: (https://comicskingdom.com/dustin/about) and they are nothing like the politicized GARBAGE presented in this article.
