Hootin and shootin

I didn't read it right and thought it was the "non binary lesbian bar" where yeah I assume you would get kicked out of for insisting this lady isn't.
But also you'll note that the hero-character has no words in their speech bubble, so we're left to just guess how she's explaining herself. So it's up to the reader to basically project onto her if she's being rude or polite about it. And again we're only given the other woman's reaction as a metric to judge what she said, unless we're already conditioned to hate trans people the reading of the comic was she deserved to be kicked out.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought student loans went: student takes out loan -> federal government/predatory private company gives loan money to school to pay tuition -> government/parasitic company recoups loss from repayments and makes a profit via interest on the loan.

Why would any forgiveness require schools to raise tuition?

You're not wrong: in the dark days before student loans existed, students paid their tuition in full each semester. It was difficult, because (even though the tuition rates outside of private & Ivy-league schools seems laughably low today, even adjusted for inflation) it was a fair chunk of cash for a young person / their family to raise - this kept tuition rates relatively reasonable/realistic.

Once the student-loan scheme (I don't use that word derogatorily, it was a huge game-changer at first) started, tuition rates rose as institutions realized that the pain was mitigated. It isn't all of the reasons why we're here today by any stretch, but it removed that (for lack of a better phrase) 'invisible hand.'

That's been a terf talking point for a while. A terf will go into an LGBT friendly space, declare "I don't want to have sex with trans women because trans women are men" and then when people get mad at them, they cry "trans women are trying to force me to have sex with them" as though anybody actually wanted to sleep with the terf to begin with.

Ishida would approve of the act, although maybe he still isn't far enough along to publically praise the perpetrators.

He also draws Pink Hair with a body and face that he would absolutely give a heroic character (except he seems to seriously dislike full beards, because hipsters? God he's so fuckin old), which makes her anger and hurt seem quite righteous

Tats kramers into a lesbian bar and points at a butch lesbian and says "That woman there is actually a MAN! You ladies don't want men in here do you? I'm here to help you and protect you from all the men that are trying to invade your safe space! Oh don't worry about me, my lesbian friend says it's cool for me to be here!"

Eh not gonna lie that seems a little much for kindergartners, however I recognize that it's because I've lived my whole life in the US and even if I'm out of the conservative mindset, it still has influence on me. It's impossible for me to approach the appropriateness of this from an objective viewpoint. That said it's certainly not graphic photorealistic detail with cumshots so it's still not even what Tats is claiming is being shown to kids (and it sure as hell isn't happening in the US, of all places).

The whole thing is a straight man's idea of what lesbians are.

Actual lesbian bars allow men in, nobody cares, because lesbianism is about liking to gently caress other women, not about hating men.

Dudes can go in lesbian bars. Dudes can dance in lesbian bars. Nobody is screaming at them for having a penis, let alone demanding that nonbinary or trans people prove that they are boner-free, and if somebody acted like his TERF mouthpiece then yeah hopefully they'd get kicked out.

I don't think Ishida can separate the concepts of heroism and masculinity in his mind. The main message of the comic is "trans women are just men pretending to be trans in order to dominate women." If you don't find gender nonconformity inherently threatening, you're not in the target audience.

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".

This is probably my favorite part. It's just in there as another jab, but no one in the bar minds. They aren't being disruptive, they aren't even a part of the narrative. And he's so goofy looking, it seems almost impossible to interpret it as some insidious behavior.

quote:

IT HAS BECOME PAINFULLY CLEAR THAT THE FBI HAS BECOME A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION.

They should arrest themselves. The heavily redacted Trump affidavit only underlines the criminal connection between the DOJ and the FBI. Both are doing their best to destroy president Trump. Their hope is they can land a criminal indictment that will prohibit President Trump from running again.

In fact, they would completely redact Trump’s presidency and his accomplishments if they could. They would love to ‘memory hole’ Trump if they could, similar to the censorship in Orwell’s ‘1984.’ In fact, Biden and his handlers would love to redact all of Trump’s followers. That’s why Traitor Joe has labeled all us MAGA-minded Trump supporters as ‘fascists.’ That’s right, patriots who want the best for America are now viewed as fascists in the eyes of Democrats and their muscle, the FBI.

The corruption will continue until the Democrat Party is soundly defeated in the midterms. That might not happen if they’re allowed to steal another election. If that happens, their banana Republic will become a rotten banana Republic.

It’s time to redact the criminals who are trying to redact Trump, a lawfully-elected president.
