I suppose Garrison was due for a bit of regression to the mean after he seemed almost reasonable with his student loan cartoon

Why are they so afraid someone is going to make them eat bugs. Is this like a fetish thing, they talk about getting force-fed bugs constantly. Anyway I had grasshoppers once. They were spiced so they tasted like spices. Crispy and crackly which was annoying to eat I guess but eh if I had to to live, fine.

When you eat a bug do they cut the head off? I can't eat fish anymore since repeated trips to the deli counter have given me dead fish ptsd with their dead eyes

I know what you mean but "You are what you eat" is such a ubiquitous quote that I don't think Garrison is out of bounds for using it in that way. (The rest of the cartoon and his obsession are crazy, though)

Remember that conservatives have the mindsets of children. When you're a kid, one thing a bully might do is make you lick/eat something gross to laugh at you. They are showing they're stronger than you by forcing you to eat the gross thing. Insects are viewed as a gross thing by a lot of first world people, and insect protein is being pushed as a potential alternative to livestock due to climate change. But since we all know climate change is a liberal hoax thanks to the 1,000 scientists and professionals who signed a piece of paper saying so, there's no reason to actually eat insects. So obviously the rich liberal elite is lying to us to trick us into eating the gross bugs, so they can laugh at us.

Probably Deshaun Watson https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-advisor-says-she-feels-deshaun-watson-is-playing-us-after-browns-q-bs-denial-of-wrongdoing-025644729.html Not only did he sexually assault at least 25 massage therapists while with Houston, Cleveland specifically structured his contract so the suspension this year won't take as much money away from him. When you're suspended, you just don't get your game check. This year, he's getting 400k. The next 4 years, he's getting 46 million. (total 5yr/230 million). Suspended 11 games this year, so he's forfeiting ((11/17)*400000) = 260K instead of (230/5)*(11/17) = 30 million. EDIT: Almost forgot! Not only did Cleveland gently caress with his contract to avoid taking more money away from him, the NFL extended his suspension (probably) for ratings. Arbitrator gave him a 6 game suspension (since that's all the NFL rulebook calls for), but with the league making it 11 games, he comes back against his old team, the Houston Texans. I'm sure they don't think that's going to give that game a ratings bump or anything thisusedyet fucked around with this message at 05:00 on Aug 28, 2022 |

It has multiple purposes that benefit fascism. It hits multiple points on Eco's list: 2. Rejection of modernity. 'THEY'RE REPLACING OUR MEAT!' 5. Fear of difference. 'IT'S WEIRD AND THEREFORE BAD!' 7. Obsession with a plot. 'THIS IS THEIR COMMAND: EAT THE BUGS. LIVE IN THE POD.' (Guess who 'they' often are. Go on, guess. Like ol' Adolf said in his book, if people feel they have too many enemies, they get discouraged. Better to tell them there's one main one controlling the others.) As a whole, the notions of bug-based food and sleep pods are used by the alt-right as evidence that their enemies are in the process of creating a dystopia that must be fought against.

Eating bugs reminds me of serving beef tongue at the yearly Christmas party at uni. If presented whole, it was considered gross and no one tried it. If presented in slices, most people tried it and enjoyed it, despite not knowing what kind of meat it was. I bet Garrison would like a bug patty right up to the point you told him it was bugs.

Monique could also have just y'know informed them that she already has a girlfriend and is just there to have a drink in a queer-friendly space. At least I don't remember her breaking up with her devil girlfriend but I also don't devote more brain power to Sinfest than is necessary to make fun of it.

She doesn't have to explain why she didn't want a drink anyway, even if she's single. People aren't obligated to accept invitations or gifts, and they certainly aren't obligated to give someone a chance in a romantic/sexual situation. It's her being a transphobic rear end in a top hat in the rejection that's the issue. Even if you want to go ahead and assume "we can always tell" is true (it isn't, but just for the sake of argument), and she's 100% sure this woman is trans, she can just say "No thank you" and leave it at that. Just because she's a lesbian doesn't mean she's obligated to date every woman who flirts with her. And like, it's fine if she's only into other cis lesbians. Despite right wing strawmen, nobody is going to say a woman is transphobic if she doesn't want to date trans lesbian women. It's when she starts framing it as "I only date real women" or loudly announcing "I will never date a trans woman" that it becomes transphobic.

So either he was going there anyway or the vaccine had something to do with it? If he was damned already who really cares, and if he wasn't... what the gently caress, god? I think it's just him making fun of people who were vaccinated and get covid, who end up having a fairly severe case that might have killed them if they weren't vaccinated. It's common for those people to say something like "Man it was really bad, but it would have been way worse if I hadn't gotten vaccinated." So here's a guy dying from the vaccine and going to hell and getting attacked by demons, but he's still in a good mood, because imagine how much more painful Hell would be if he wasn't vaccinated!

Nah, she can go gently caress herself, and they were right to kick her toxic mindset out. Funny how it wouldn't be that hard to change this into a "A fascist tries to spread their toxicity into a 'safe space' and is promptly kicked out by the non-fascists" comic.

Funny how it wouldn't be that hard to change this into a "A fascist tries to spread their toxicity into a 'safe space' and is promptly kicked out by the non-fascists" comic. The entirety of the necessary change is just depicting the bar's patrons as even potentially sympathetic, instead of what we have, where they're both too strong and too weak, which is... we all know that story already. But outside that, this sympathetic take is already there: take a look at the depicted story. Someone comes up to our protagonist and offers to buy her a drink. She says "no, I am not into men," and two panels later she's bringing up the dick we don't actually see. Like, the supposedly neutral reading is that someone says "can I buy you a drink" and she almost instantly responds with "I hate the genitals that I assume you have", without the comic remembering to cast Pink Hair as the villain first. Pink Hair is not the rear end in a top hat. When the writer can control the entirety of the universe. It's even more interesting if you take the final comic by itself, without the Saturday lead-in, and... just look at the comic on its own merits. We see this girl walk into a place, and look at two people who look amazing. If you're not already told that this is a lesbian bar (which we haven't been, we're only looking at the Sunday strip), you have what looks like a fabulous gay man and some enby rocking heels and a pencil skirt. Both of them look great and they're having a great time and I would love to hang out with them. Then in panel 2 we have someone who's also found a look that she apparently feels extremely comfortable with, even though too much of the world would judge her for it. She's having a mutually pleasant conversation with someone else who looks like she's enjoying herself and, most likely, is reclaiming some rough memories from her own past by dressing in a meaningful way. I wouldn't want to interrupt; they've got a connection. It's also possible that the handmaiden works here, which would be clear by checking if it were a uniform others were working in. If so, she's probably enjoying a chance to catch up with a regular and maybe get a good tip. It still looks wholesome and mutually agreeable. Then, a tall, butchy woman comes up and indicates interest, and Monique looks interested in panel 4. She might be leaning away slightly, but that looks more like "oh my" than "cowering before a villain". The second line of panels is Monique being an rear end in a top hat. That's it. She immediately jumps to saying hurtful things for no reason, and Pink Hair rightfully takes offense. It's not that Pink was turned down. Monique crossed a line. Which a non-idiot writer could have fixed by not spending a quarter of the comic showing innocent people having a great time while forgetting to show us that this is a lesbian space specifically instead of a queer space in general. Instead, a minimally competent writer could have used that panel space to make Pink harass Monique to start things, instead of Pink making an appropriate entrance and Monique responding unreasonably. As Monique is harassing the other patrons, security promptly and properly evicts her. Private property, now stop making inappropriate complaints about people's genitals when you literally haven't even met them yet. That takes us to the final panel, where Monique is shown to neither be in emotional nor physical distress. She's just been kicked out of somewhere that we only now see is labeled 'lesbian bar'. And the people inside are getting on with their lives and still look like they're having a good time, apart from Pink, who is almost hard to see as the villain if you take the comic as it is actually presented. Only panel 8 even tries to use any of the centuries of visual storytelling language we've developed to cast Pink in a villain light. It's an utter fuckup of a story. Even the dog is easy to read as "here's a dog", not "this is uncomfortable degenerate behavior because I refuse to learn what petplay actually is".
