Apparently the term for this stuff is "aggressively no-platformed."

Universities do not invite people who do not already have established platforms to speak. The invitation is symbolic. That speech being drowned out by other speech is also symbolic.

Maybe tax people who make tons of money doing very little? Obama is just being a good capitalist, I thought that was a good thing?

Also, Tinsley, the Finnish have found the best solution: stop using "he" and just use "she" (or vice versa) for all humans.

Problem there being that the Finnish will gleefully use "it" for everything even if the prescriptivists at Kotimaisten Kielten Keskus say it is forbidden.

gently caress this. Shakespeare used "they" as a gender neutral pronoun. The only people who correct this are first year college students, people that want to sound smart but never actually read, and drunk ducks.

It's always interesting seeing into Tinsley's personal life through what he chooses to complain about, Kelly-style.
Earlier, his comics on "why do people get so upset about racist/sexist remarks", in the wake of no doubt making some.
Now, trying to defend his language makes me think he called some transgendered person "it" and caught hell for it.

what, other than hatred, is stopping you from just calling people what they want to be called?
This is always what gets me. If a friend of mine asked me to call them just about anything from then on, I probably would, and move on. It's not a big deal, it doesn't inconvenience me, and if they want to ask in sincerity, it probably matters to them. The courtesy doesn't cost me.

I stopped in disgust, but still decided to draw one out today since I have a day off due to medical stuff, and I am a bored, broken man.

Anyone got a compilation of Gorrel's greatest hits?

(AKA all the blank cartoons he's submitted over the years, in case that was unclear)

Also, some of his old art, for the inevitable "used to be good, poo poo now" comparison.

Also also - am I just imagining things, or did he once re-used a blank "cartoon" with a "vacation repeat" note? Seems good to be true, but I want to believe.

If he did run one a second time, odds are good it would have been the "Foreign Policy Triumphs of the Obama Administration" one.

Before the 12th century, "she" wasn't a word and women had to use "heo," a generic plural pronoun that could be used by men as well. Ye Fowl Herald probably got his feathers in a ruffle over that one. Broads, amiright.

This is the second time I've seen someone list what the comics pretty much always are with "<politoon> is bigoted" in the middle; is it a joke from something in particular, or just a running joke the thread started?

It's because Mallard runs on the comics page in most papers that carry it. So in the middle of your generally inoffensive jokes and plodding soap opera strips, there's a big steaming turd of bigoted opinion.

Gender neutral pronouns does exists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hen_(pronoun)
Although I've heard that it has caused some confusion with people who's primary language is english (I've heard about a group of foreign exchange students who, when they heard about it, though that Scandinavia had kindergartens and schools for chickens).

Does anyone have a picture of a comics page with Mallard Fillmore next to Marmaduke or Blondie or similarly innocuous strips?

The Los Angeles Times stopped carrying Mallard years ago, but back then it was grouped with several other political cartoons (Doonesbury, The Boondocks, Prickly City, Candorville, La Cucaracha) and didn't seem out of place.

I've heard of other papers putting Mallard on an opinion page separate from the main comics.
