Donald Trump was a fed on January 6th though? At least I'm pretty sure the president is the top fed guy.

Dr. Stab posted:The nazis who agree with me on the present issue are cool. The rest are federal agents trying to make us look bad, but also I agree with them. It's hard to tell because iirc his reaction to it when it happened was "both sides are equally bad, the (((devilcorp))) that owns the media is stirring up partisan conflict to control us." He's probably not really thought about it since then. His shift to the far right has happened so fast that it's hard to even remember how recently he was a both-sides-I'm-above-politics guy. If I had to guess what he'd say if you asked him now, it would probably be along the lines of what Ben Garrison eventually settled on: those peaceful patriots showed up to politely and nonviolently protest for election integrity but FBI and ANTIFA infiltrators incited and goaded those innocent souls into going inside the building so they could be arrested and shot.

Okay maybe there were one or two people who went a little too far, but they were FBI plants trying to stir up the rest of the crowd. But hypothetically if some patriots had stood up against the oppressive government, it would have been entirely justified. I like the idea that Baked Alaska is playing 7 dimensional chess and the last decade has all been setup for this.

Ishida is trying to Godwin his cake and eat it too. In his mind, the people being called Nazis aren't really Nazis, they're only being labeled as such by the Real Nazis (See: The Wokes) in order to demonize them for being brave enough to say that trans women are all dudes in drag and women are mindless cattle incapable of possessing any true agency and that's why any of them could ever think they want to be sex workers. As such, anyone seen flying swastikas around while screaming "I believe everything that Ishida believes, also Heil Hitler" are obviously just Feds following the orders of the Wokes in order to make him and his Real American allies look bad.

And while the cartoon is about a specific event, it's still definitely meant to say "Look at how horrible leftists are for trying to murder people over having different political beliefs (and then being wrongfully set free by liberal soft on crime policies)."

Stupid handmaid is clearly supposed to be the butt of the joke here, but "gently caress off nazis" "that's not nazis, that's just feds dressed like nazis" "yeah, nazis" is a far better and more astute observation than any of his mouthpieces have ever made.

Well, you see, Cops are all the guardians of Small-Town America, the Real America, or keeping the handful of Good People in cities safe from the ravening hordes of the inner city. The FBI are not Cops, they're Feds who the real Cops hate for being involved in the Fake America, AKA the Government.

So antifa zombies, under the command of joker Biden, are being mind controlled by the devil's sexualisation hats into filming the FBI pretending to be Nazis hanging out in the free speech parts of the internet, in order to... what, exactly? There is the tiniest little seed of actual events in there, specifically that activists have been taking down sites by reporting their membership and leadership to their hosting services, which tend to take the reasonable business decision of, in pursuit of not being investigated for hate crimes, killing off the low-value sites. In Ishida's world that's twisted into brainless left-aligned woke zombies being controlled by corporations into reporting fake government-aligned Nazis who we promise just showed up and were super obvious. The results of this and the ultimate goal is yet to be explained but can be assumed to be nefarious. The throughline is tenuous but present. In both reality and the comic, the real problem isn't the attempt by (potentially fake) Nazis to invade spaces; it's the complete lack of awareness and response from those spaces. In Ishida's world, though, you can tell the difference between good and evil because good is passive or reactive, and evil is active. The world is good by default and any attempt to change anything is evil. The free speech zone is good because it does nothing and makes no decisions- you'll notice that it is presented as having always been there and always having been like that, despite the relative youth of all of the sites in it. The folks filming the cops are evil because they are doing something; cops are also evil because they are doing something. Good active people exist; however, they exist to remember how things used to be and are only ever acting to get back to that place. SA gets the occasional flameout obvious neo-nazi but they get banned and the ten dollar entrance fee keeps them out.

I think the part that we've all missed about Ishidaverse is that the metaphors are not accumulative and presented in aggregate, they're more of a tags system; zombies in a given comic are not necessarily misogynists or hellspawn or wokes or antifa or men (bad), they're better described as being any of them as suits the needs of the current situation being described. In the following essay, "Three Uncles Sam: Age and Death in Sinfest," I will

VitalSigns posted:OK so are cops good or not. Well, cops in the Sinfest universe are presented as a sort of gay mafia that only care about defending trans people and taking down TERF owned small businesses, so he could also be saying LGBT people are the real Nazis? The metaphors are so mixed at this point it's hard to be sure.

This results in the comic being inherently incomprehensible to anyone that’s not Ishida because the meaning of an individual symbol or character can change even within the span of a single week.

I guess, although when is the last time we saw a Real Cop in the Ishidaverse, as Space Cadet pointed out, all the cops are big ol flaming homo transgender mafia types now. He portrays the people protesting cops as violent zombies, but has he drawn a single cop as a good guy since he started getting posted in this thread? Maybe once when he drew a cop working for the literal Devil because it was the only job he could take after liberals defunded the police? And I'm not sure that cop was supposed to be a good guy (do Good Guys become Satan's minions for the paycheck?), but more of an unintended consequences thing. If you defund the cops they'll only go work for someone worse!

Haschel Cedricson posted:Eh, the kids who loved comic books in the 40s and 50s grew up and it didn't do the next generation any favors in terms of making comics mainstream. People who grew up with comic books in the 40s made poo poo like the Batman tv series and some really, really bad comics-based movies (and more comic books). People who grew up with what they made created the Superman movies, then the Batman movies, and as those caught on a whole lot of animated series, video games, merchandise, and more movies (and more comic books). People who grew up with those are the ones making comic book movies/games/shows/etc now. Obviously Disney being a giant money monster that owns the entire media industry has supercharged things to the point they're incredibly oversaturated, but it's a snowball rolling down a hill that consists of people who are passionate/nostalgic for their childhood interests and people with money realizing they can make more money off of said people and their peers. Video games were exactly the same way. Some niche, weird hobby that only nerds cared about grew exponentially when those nerds got older and started making their own games for younger nerds who grew up and started making their own games until capitalism devoured the whole thing and marketed it to every possible demographic with cash in hand. Basically, Stantis' assertion that geek culture is some sort of separate thing that just burst fully formed into the mainstream (and recently), and gosh golly it's a surprise, is the kind of dipshit boomer observation that he excels at.
