ComradeCosmobot posted:I get this (bad) cartoon, but I don't really get the edit. I guess it's trying to make a sarcastic statement but it doesn't really do it for me because it doesn't really show the Zoe Quinn analogue in an especially positive light, I guess... But maybe that's the weird addition of the pants at her shins in the lower image making her a bit of a joke. Turning her into a donkey would have made it more obvious, but that would have added a different set of problems.

Worst Middle East Cartoon: E There were a lot of terrible ones, but that one just barely edged out thanks to the twofer of "what the gently caress is wrong with you". Worst Police Brutality Cartoon: G The whole thing with de Blasio and the NYPD has pushing all my "gently caress the police" buttons since it started, so that one was kind of a no-brainer. Worst Torture Report Cartoon: I Barely edged out B by virtue of a Feinstein caricature that makes even less sense than Wormbama. Worst The Interview Cartoon: B The lazy racism is what pushes this past the others. Worst cartoon about a tragedy: C There were a lot of valiant efforts, but the decision to literally portray black people as dogs gave C that extra little bit of Stormfront spice. Worst caricature: A And this is the only caricature that makes less sense than the Feinstein one in my vote for Worst Torture Report Cartoon. (Although G was very nearly a tie.) Worst "A Thing Happened" cartoon: P Probably the hardest category to make a decision on, but the decision to split the Thing between two different (yet very nearly redundant) bits of text, and then shove one of them into a tiny box at the corner, was inspired in its shittiness. Worst Label: G There were a number of cartoons with too-long labels and a number of cartoons with too many labels, but only Ramirez could find a way to shoehorn the word "debt" into that many places. Least concealed bigotry in a cartoon: C I was originally going to vote for D. But as I was writing this, the cartoon somehow managed to pull off an integer overflow of bigotry by leaving me confused as to precisely what stereotype it was attempting to reinforce. C both made it obvious and had a terrible caricature, so it won out in the end. Laziest cartoon: K Again, several valiant efforts, but K got the nod by simply not caring enough to find a photograph that lacked JPG artifacts. Most easily reinterpreted: D I assume the cartoon was supposed to be something about amnesty, but instead it managed to straddle the line between "Nonsense, this is an election year" and Asay-esque "how is this a bad thing". The result was something that's impossible not to reinterpret. Overall worst political cartoon of the year: I Rather than explain why this one got my vote (because seriously), I'm just going to say that the fact that it got my vote is the reason I didn't vote for it in any other category. May as well give the second-stringers a chance. Best edit/parody: E What can I say? I'm a sucker for Who Framed Roger Rabbit? jokes.

seiferguy posted:I realize it's way too late, but somehow we forgot to include this in the "least concealed bigotry" category, especially considering how much it got talked about in newspapers: Dog whistling on the toothpaste is still far more concealed than the ones that actually got nominated.
