That's Asok. Dilbert was one of the most successful newspaper comics of all times, there's no reason to know who the characters are unless you know some of the incredibly deep obscure characters like Dilbert's girlfriend (Liz  )

They're making fun once more of Palmade but the gist of the joke is a new way to drive while drinking and doing coke while keeping your eyes on the road.

I'm pretty sure the Antina tie thing was a genuine mistake. Growing up in the years where Dilbert and Harry Potter were media sensations has been devastating for my memory skills.

Neito posted:I feel like Bennett's well-intentioned here, but ultimately transphobic. Is it? Asking genuinely, here. I don’t think the intent of the cartoon is “lol guy in a dress” like the clearly transphobic McCoy, Lester, Garrison cartoons are; it’s trying to highlight that the guy making the ban is a hypocrite who wants to be allowed to do what he wants but ban others from doing the same. But I am not an expert in LGBTQIA issues and will absolutely defer to others.

The old gotcha of "homophobe/transphobe is phobic because they're secretly gay/trans" is overall negative because it's still painting being LGBT as something detrimental. People do not need to closeted to hate gay people, and poo poo like drawing Putin in drag is still making fun of LGBT people in the end. Pointing out the hypocrisy of people who have done drag banning drag shows is a valid point, but pointing out hypocrisy does very little to address the actual matter at hand.

It's a punch aimed at chuds that only ever hits LGBT people, and in fact cannot actually ever hit the chud because it fundamentally misunderstands exactly what is going on. No evil right winger is ever going to give a seconds thought to some liberal stranger calling them a hypocrite, except maybe to revel in their display of powerlessness, so all it does is continue to normalize ideas and stereotypes that need to be tossed entirely. One must keep a low bar with cartoonists that aren't Kelly or Collins of course.

It's basically this. You can't accuse them of hypocrisy because that requires them to be actual hypocrites, which in turn relies on them acting contrary to any sincerely held belief. And they are not. Because the only sincerely held beliefs they have are "nobody should get to tell me what to do," and "I should be allowed to tell others what to do." Banning drag for those people while still doing it themselves? That is perfectly in keeping with their actual principles.

Doing it as a joke in college isn't the same as being a professional drag queen, or being trans or anything. It's not like he wants to secretly do it himself necessarily, he might be fine with never being in Rocky Horror again or whatever. Toon just seems like "lol man in a dress"
