I think that's the point, though I could be AGCing this (can't remember what level of shithead Beeler is). I read it as "we keep singing the same song over and over without thinking, and it's not changing anything so we should probably do something else." loquacius posted:Basically this, there's no reason not to post it, with the corollary that if it gets posted it is very much a valid target for snarky comments Snarky comments about the content are fine. Saying over and over "why is this posted, it's not above my arbitrary threshold of politicalness" adds nothing to the discussion.

In this analogy, Ted Rall is Ramsay, torturing the metaphor.

IM DAY DAY IRL posted:hey, it's me, a fan of zelda who believes that the narrative and issues addressed in the comic carry political weight because of their frequent politicalization. I get that it may be difficult to empathize with viewpoints, opinions, and subjects presented through unrelatable flawed characters but if understanding and agreeing with author/character intent is a requirement for this thread then it should probably be locked Also screw you for this part: "understanding and agreeing with author/character intent is a requirement for this thread" because I, in absolutely no way, said anything like this.

When it does present a viewpoint or opinion or make a statement of some sort than fine, cool, we can talk about that. But the majority of them are five panels of Zelda slowly booping someone's nose or, like, a punchline of "aren't pants funny?" or whatever. It'd be like posting Cathy to this thread because one time she said "Women should earn the same as men ACK!!" *75 years of yelling about chocolate*. Ironically though we'd devote much less time as a thread to discussing Zelda if people weren't constantly trying to debate its fitness to grace this thread so be the change you want to see in the world: scroll past it and shut up

The regular "should Zelda be posted" argument is more boring then reading Zelda. Does anyone here actually read every cartoon posted? I mean, I regularly skip over Prickly City, Rall, and most of the Brittoons.

It's gotta be quick or else I start getting a Lovecrafitian unease due to all of the angles out of space. As to Zelda, seems pretty inoffensive so far with a couple of funny bits.

So what? Inviting a foreign head of state to an above-board, reasonably-public event and colluding with them secretly to subvert the democratic process are about as different as you can get.

Duke Igthorn posted:Who's debating? I'm giving my viewpoint to an open argument. A viewpoint apparently shared by other people. God forbid we talk about the cartoons posted in the political cartoon thread. Considering someone asked why people hate Zelda so much I think answering that question is far more relevant than whining about someone answering an asked question. It's "call and response" not "call and response and the the peanut gallery chimes in to complain that there was a call and then a response". poo poo, "here is an answer to you question" is motherfucking lightyears more helpful than "gently caress off" and you're not complaining about that. It's because literally every other day some idiot Kramers into the thread bitching about the cartoon that is A) inoffensive B) published in newspapers and C) often political.

Zelda would be fine if it didn't look like someone had taken a previously existing comic, whited out all the text, and added new text in MS Paint.

[quote="“NoEyedSquareGuy”" post="“477025285”"] Zelda would be fine if it didn’t look like someone had taken a previously existing comic, whited out all the text, and added new text in MS Paint. [/quote] That's what's happening. Because it's being translated.

Avenging_Mikon posted:Exactly. It's not available in English, it's being translated for us, specifically. Oh, I thought the author released it in both English and the original language (Swedish?) but wasn't bothering to make the English version look decent. If it's just someone on the forums typing it up that makes more sense.

TheBigAristotle posted:If we rejected comics based on this standard, there would be no conservative cartoonists to mock. Stop making it sound attractive. Jedit posted:One of the performing artists who was there has already said that a bunch of his crew were packing but they couldn't do a drat thing. According to other threads, this means he should be hated even more than people who still want to protect guns, because he selfishly changed his opinion when he saw he was wrong. I don't get it either. loquacius posted:We had some great times with DBD, but it slowly transformed into the barely-illustrated ravings of a madman and all of us are better off for its absence from our lives Are you implying it was ever anything but that? TheOneAndOnlyT posted:I was always partial to "Day By Penis". I still liked Ted Rall discussing Zedds penis. Keiya posted:So what? Inviting a foreign head of state to an above-board, reasonably-public event and colluding with them secretly to subvert the democratic process are about as different as you can get. A reminder that Rall is a paid mouthpiece of Russian propaganda.

Hot take: I don't really care for Zelda, but I read every page of the thread. I just scroll past it for the most part, unless someone points to a strip being particularly interesting. I do get annoyed by the same one or two people who ask why its in the thread every other day and lead off multi page debates of the same points over and over again, but Zelda itself is not bad, and a bunch of people like it.
