He's got the same issue as Glinner, any capacity to recognize that the world is a complex place has been replaced with hate and transphobia, to the point where he can't even interact with people.

Went down the exact same "I'd like to call myself a feminist but also spend 90% of my time gatekeeping womanhood from women" rabbit hole as Tats.

Also wrote a sitcom wherein one episode the boss of the company dates and falls in love with a trans woman but breaks up with her upon realizing she's trans. IIRC, what Glinner had in mind was that she was supposed to be the butt of all of the jokes, but apparently none of the actors got that memo because the way the episode played out had her coming out of it pretty sympathetically.

Not to mention - it isn't just that he wrote an incredibly transphobic sitcom episode, it's that when everyone around him went 'Hey, we like your work, but this stuff is pretty lovely', his response was 'Well, clearly there is some global trans conspiracy, there's no other reason why you'd be critical of my genius' and spiralled from there.

Tatsuya and Linehan is a good comparison, both well known among a small group of nerds (webcomic fans/british sitcom fans), becomes a born again feminist while also kinda making it about him (Tats' second-wave anti-porn thing, Glinner weighing in against gamergate back in the day) and then gets led down a rabbit hole of terfism from there in a gradual descent of "oh god I didn't think he could get worse" until everyone realises there is no depth he will not sink to in both cases there is no actual reason anyone should know who this has-been loser is other than perhaps as a cautionary tale

TheDeadlyShoe posted:The famous scene everyone remembers from The Fugitive is when Harrison Ford jumps off the Dam while having a gun pointed at him. Not the earlier scene Ishida is referencing, which i had to go check Youtube to even remember existed. It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but isn't the point of that scene that Tommy Lee Jones's character is just doing his job? Like, as far as he's concerned, Ford's character is an escaped murderer that he's trying to bring back in, and even if there's any truth to what Ford is saying, it's not up to him to make that determination. Jones is an antagonist to Ford, but he's not the villain of the movie. If the intention of the strip is to show that Bragg is a bad guy for trying to bring Trump in, then it fails. If he's trying to say that Bragg is a proxy for the deep state for doing his job, then it's counting on people remembering how a 30-year-old movie went, but I highly doubt Tats did when he made that, because he certainly doesn't think Bragg is just doing his job

Yeah, the "I don't care" is about how this guy has a warrant and is on the run. He has to be brought in, Innocence and guilt is a thing that's determined by a jury later.

There's a lot more to Glinner and I wish people would realize it. The man has a rich, complex internal world and he's not just some transphobe for the woke left to punch down on. For example, he's also violently opposed to the existence of bisexuality.

I mean, while we're kicking Tats over his complete lack of media literacy, the V-alliteration speech from V for Vendetta is from when Evey meets V for the first time, not the big speech to the crowd where he hijacks the broadcast systems the night after he blows up Old Bailey, which is nothing like the V speech.

Also, V was a heroic figure opposing the fascist org dominating the country... which might be why Tats cast V as the villain in the strip.

I've always assumed it's because they didn't instantly become folk heroes the moment they performed a Male Feminism. Like, I dunno Glinner's history, but it was extremely clear from Sinfest's brief pre-TERF period that he never actually bothered trying to understand women or reflect on himself, but just thought feminism was a series of incantations to make girls like you, and he grew resentful when he never got his cookie. TERFs let them hate women while also allowing them to pretend to be feminists.

Ishida did a short story arc where he absolved himself for all of his misogynistic cartoons, and when he wasn't immediately crowned King of the Feminists, he decided that there was just no pleasing the stupid broads. And then he spiraled from there.

I watched the IT crowd on DVD, second time with Lineham's own commentary which certainly was a learning experience.the_steve posted:Also wrote a sitcom wherein one episode the boss of the company dates and falls in love with a trans woman but breaks up with her upon realizing she's trans. I can completely see how his inability to soul search on the criticism on his poo poo jokes that stem from a world view calcified from overwatching nineties comedies led him to endlessly quadrupling down into what he is now.

That's why he never frames is as "wanting to be alive." It's always "cut off your kid's junk and force them to give Joe Biden a lapdance." It can't just be people wanting to be left alone, it's always a sinister Other trying to force their life choices onto everyone else. Which yeah, projection and the pot hurling racial slurs at the kettle, but that's always been page 1 of the right wing playbook.

Linehan and Tatsuya are prime examples of how transphobia is a cognitive virus that spreads throughout your brain. I expect someone to find Linehan dead of starvation one of these days because he brought food to his mouth and instead of biting just began to yell about pronouns. Rowling appears to be trying to speedrun the brain worms.
