Crunch Buttsteak posted:Has the White House actually released anything on covid beyond a little "Hey this strain looks kinda nasty, we recommend getting boosted" statement? Or are right-wingers just reacting to the internal hype that mask mandates are totally coming back and this time conservatives are totally gonna be big and strong and tough and ignore all of them (which will be different from last time somehow) to advance the cause of True Patriotism Not to my knowledge, however here DeSantis and "Surgeon General" Ladapo are saying not to get the new boosters and to resist any guidelines the federal government does issue.

It's here, it's trying to pretend it was never queer, it's... mostly about Elon Musk this time, I guess.  "X" actually stands for "I remember when I was young and people thought X was a cool letter".  You can't just have your characters announce the point of your strip! The point is that that's stupid!  Somehow Alfred E. Buttigieg even went back in time and made this very comic gay in the past! Le gasp!  That isn't how you use the NPC meme. Which is a dumb thing to use to begin with.  Tatsuya is clearly salty that people keep pointing out he's just flat-out lying in his strip.  I guess this is... Jonathan Greenblatt as a vampire? Help me out here. Is this literally blood libel or am I reading too much into how he's drawn?  Okay... so... Elon Musk helped construct a death star (or at least gazed benignly upon it), which fired a Jewish Space Laser under the direction of Count Greenblatt, which then made everyone think X was full of Nazis, scaring away advertisers, except X is genuinely full of Nazis also and again we're representing the head of the ADL as a literal vampire so Nazi opinions are good now, actually? Sinfest sure is a land of contrasts. Pettyfest

To be clear this is a vampire shining a spotlight onto X which reveals that it's all Nazis But also, you said in a previous strip that everyone was getting banned, so: The bannings were wrong, and the Twitter is full of Nazis like the ADL says because they're the only ones left. Or The bannings were right, and Twitter was full of Nazis like the ADL said

VitalSigns posted:I don't think Elon built or approved the Jew Death Star, I think it just showed up while he was totally pleasing advertisers and about to make all the It's quite possible that Musk is just smiling at his investors and totally unaware of the Jew Star, but panel 4's framing really gives the impression that he's smiling at the thing itself, and using the RotJ partial Death Star rather than the ANH complete Death Star only makes sense if you're trying to emphasize its qualities ("under construction" or "looks like it can't fire its laser, but can'). For none of that to have any meaning, it would require Tatsuya to be an idiot who doesn't know how to lay out a comic strip or something crazy like that. (The simplest way of fixing this would be to put the Jew Star behind Musk to emphasize that he is not aware of it, instead of slapping it in front of his face. Even if the 3D angle would mean he might not see it in that position, that is not how it reads in a 2D comic.) HootTheOwl posted:To be clear this is a vampire shining a spotlight onto X which reveals that it's all Nazis Not an unreasonable interpretation, but then you have the panel of Count Greenblatt smiling evilly as his sinister plan comes to fruition. That only makes sense if what has just happened is wrong rather than right (and most likely we would all agree that revealing actual Nazis would be "right"). Combine that with the "Jewish Space Lasers" thing and what Musk has actually been saying about the ADL's actions and it really looks like the ray is transforming rather than revealing.

I honestly didn't think anyone out there was dumb enough to believe that X/Twitter was doing great until the ADL criticized them and then suddenly everything went tits up. Leave it to Tats to be the one to squeak under that bar.

Pretty sure advertisers were jumping ship on Twitter way before ADL got involved, and the Nazi problem was there before Musk even showed up (although his incompetence did make it worse).

The Nazi problem was there before Musk, but there was at least some attempt at moderation. Musk let the permabanned Nazis back and then started amplifying their content, both by promoting accounts with blue checks and by personally interacting with and surfacing their tweets. It's not incompetence, it's malice.

Musk stepped in personally to unban a Nazi who was banned for posting and sharing literal child porn and yet despite Tats saying he hate LGBTQ people because LGHTQ=child predators in his bigot brain didn’t use that as an example of why Musk is bad in any of those comics. Strange!
