It's very odd that something I thought was kinda half-assed and would either be received tepidly well or just ignored outright is the thing that escaped this thread to live a life of its own.

It's goofy and facile but also a fairly neat encapsulation and affirmation of nerd agita, so it's no surprise to me that it's memeing like the dickens.

e: also a lot of people have no real idea of just how bad and dumb political cartoons actually are, and seeing some of the world's worst visual metaphors get shut down hard is amusing in itself

That's just scratching the surface -- any woman in combat would of course be immediately disarmed, captured and murdered as soon as an enemy soldier saw her; any given woman has a pretty decent chance of being like five months pregnant at any given time because pregnancies just kind of spring spontaneously out of nowhere without being noticed; women are universally innocent little girls wearing pink ribbons in their ponytails to look pretty for the cotillion; the Taliban have what appears to be frost giants working for them; etc etc etc -- but yeah we covered all angles of this pretty thoroughly when the cartoon was first published. It's a pretty phenomenally stupid cartoon.

Could the person who posts the UK cartoons next time say on which side of the political spectrum the cartoonist is on. I want to get to know (and possibly hate) these cartoonists the same way I do American ones.

The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; The Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; And The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is. ... Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

That's kind of the opposite of "a thing happened" because it can apply to basically anything ever, rather than having a reference to something current crowbarred in.
