She's really the bad guy here but his use of 'Lady' when talking to her feels so derogatory. Is that common in Statehouses? She calls him 'Sir' so he calls 'Lady' to avoid using antiquated Miss or Mrs or Ms for whatever reason?

Again, he's a very skilled artist. It's a choice driven by producing a comic in what's probably less than 10 minutes.

I've not followed it closely, but I think Durham had a few different investigations running under Trump. This was the last of them, released May 17, basically as counterprogramming to the criminal investigations into Trump, and things like the Mueller report.

:shepicide: Sinfest Sunday :shepicide: - Buckle up folks, this is a rough one. Tats starts the week adding (male) migrants to his list of people he hates enough to depict them as brainless zombies. From there it's a mixture of 'FED!' jokes and using pop culture for his transphobia (he finally acknowledges trans men, but only in the context of 'They're poor helpless women who just can't handle the patriarchy and are being taken advantage of'. Then on Thursday he hears that conservatives are upset that they can't jerk off to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, and automaticlaly jumps to the conclusion that they must have featured a trans woman. And then... remember the multiple storylines of 'Slick goes to hell for looking at porn'? Well now that Satan is evil, there's a special hell for people who aren't attracted to trans women.






Not much in the way of Pettyfest this week:

Specifically, the report released recently was an investigation into the FBI launching an investigation of Trump's 2016 campaign over possible collusion with Russia. The report found nothing, resulted in no convictions, and the strongest language it could muster was something to the effect of 'well *I* wouldn't have launched an investigation based on that evidence!' Nevertheless, the entirety of right wing media has taken it as 100% confirmation of their priors, even or especially stuff that was actually contradicted by the report like the Steele dossier being the basis of the investigation.

Of course, the reason for this one might because recently fox news and similar have become aware of the newest Transformer show having a non-binary Transformer as a major character. So Tats can't even get the talking point right.

No, no, I'm willing to bet that they were both attracted to the women that they're raging against, and it's because they were attracted to the things they pretend to hate is the reason why we're hearing about how awful the women are. Kim Petras and Yumi Nu are both beautiful women, and if Tats and Peterson are grossed out over finding them attractive because one is transgender and the other is plus-sized, maybe they should take a long, hard look at themselves.

It is curious and wants to accept all kinds of challenges
The really big irony is that IDW's Transformers comics made Arcee a trans woman like a long while back; the original main writer was a guy with an ant up his pant at the idea of there being female transformers (which also ended up inadvertently paving the way for a later writer to go "hey if they're all dudes then it would be actually normal for them to be gay") and gave her a gritty backstory of her being forcefully made female by a mad scientist who wanted to introduce gender to the species, and later writers went :yikes: and had to do damage control (mixed in with Hasbro wanting them to introduce more female transformers), being able to retcon it into something she consented to

Yeah hell does double-duty, it's a wish-fulfillment fantasy where he can draw all his enemies being tortured, and also a way to indulge his persecution complex. Leftists and environmentalists and trans people go to hell, but so do TERFs and men's rights activists. Makes for very mixed messages.

TERFs are there and their ironic punishment is having to be around trans women which implies transphobia was their sin. Also trans people's souls apparently get sentenced as the gender they identify as, not the gender they were assigned at birth, so in life they really are female souls trapped in a male body (or vice versa) then.
