Previous Years' Gay Abortions: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 Mid-term, 2015, 2016 Mid-Term, 2016, 2017 Mid-term Process: Any poster may submit cartoons until 23:59 EST on January 10th (Wednesday). Please only submit a single cartoon for each category. Please only submit a specific cartoon to a single category, the exception being Overall Worst Cartoon.

If you would like to change your nominees, please edit that post before the deadline on January 10th. Please do not submit anything produced after December 31st of 2017. What was submitted to the Mid-Term Repository will be automatically entered for nomination consideration. Not all submissions will be in the final lists. If your nomination did not make the list I am sorry. Voting will begin immediately after the submissions are compiled into the post below this one. Voting will last till 23:59 EST on January 17th. The votes will be tallied and results announced as soon as tallying is done. Vote for each category by naming the category and the letter indicating that political cartoon. A template ballot will be provided. Judges: Abyssal Squid, Scholtz, and I shall be the judges this year. All hail us. The judges may agree to veto any submission or trim a list if there are too many nominees. Please ask if you have questions about the Gay Abortions Awards or any part of the nomination and voting processes. Rules and Suggestions: Standard D&D rules apply. Please don't quote all the images from a nomination post unless you intend to discuss all them. For discussions about current politics not related to the Awards, please take it to the regular Political Cartoons Thread. Post political cartoons of at least some prominence. Any thread regular or syndicated cartoonist is fine, pulling cartoons from a nobody's DeviantArt account is not. Please don't submit a single cartoon for more then one category. The exception to this is 'Overall Worst Political Cartoon' which may be a previously submitted one or a stand alone.  Winners:Worst Breakup with 44: 1st Place  2nd Place  Garrison wins with 35% of the vote, followed by Rall with 19%. This is the only first place Garrison will take this year and the only award that Rall will get at all. Worst Nazi Sympathizer Cartoon: 1st Place  2nd Place  "Punching a nazi makes you the real nazi" Bruce Tinsley with 33%. Branco with second at 26%. Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy: 1st Place  2nd Place (tied)   Kirschen takes first at 36%, Branco and Ramirez tie with 11 votes each. Worst Obituary Cartoon: 1st Place  Kirschen blows this out of the water with 85% of the vote. Kind of a small pool this year, so that's a good thing, right? Worst Caricature: 1st Place  2nd Place  Ramirez wins with 28% with his abominations. Bill Leak, who died in March, gets one final award with 24%. Worst "A Thing Happened" Cartoon: 1st Place  2nd Place  I feel bad that the #metoo campaign got listed into A Thing Happened. That said, Gary McCoy won by 52% of the vote for this vile cartoon. McKee in second with 18% Worst Cartoon about a Movie: 1st Place  2nd Place  Ramirez wins between both of his entries with 96% (54% and 42%). We will probably combine Movies into A Thing Happened next year. Worst Label: 1st Place  2nd Place  Ramirez is on a roll taking first yet again with 26%. Wolverton not far behind with 24%. Least Concealed Bigotry (Racism) in a Cartoon: 1st Place  2nd Place  Gary McCoy made a comic nearly identical to the one that won for Leak last year with 65% of the vote. Picking up most the remaining votes for 26% is Branco. Least Concealed Bigotry (Islamophobia) in a Cartoon: 1st Place  2nd Place  Kirschen wins both first and second, 22% and 21%. Least Concealed Bigotry (LGBT) in a Cartoon: 1st Place  2nd Place  gently caress you Delonas, 53%. gently caress you Gary, 17%. Laziest Non-Gorrell Cartoon: 1st Place  2nd Place  Ramirez get first yet again with a blow out 63%. Varvel gets 10% by copying and flipping a cartoon from eight years ago. Most Easily Reinterpreted: 1st Place  2nd Place  Lester 35%, McKee 15%. Overall Worst Political Cartoon: 1st Place  2nd Place  Glenn McCoy made this way back in February and people we're rightly calling it for Worst then. For comparing Betsy DeVos to Ruby Bridges, he wins with 51%. Garrison comes in second with 31%. Best Edit/Parody: 1st Place  2nd Place  Rorus Raz/Pants Donkey's edit became the Politoons thread title and for good reason wins with 35%. Angular Cyrus's edit comes in second at 14%. - -------- Nominations: Worst Breakup with 44 Worst Nazi Sympathizer Cartoon Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy Worst Obituary Cartoon Worst Caricature Worst "A Thing Happened" Cartoon Worst Cartoon about a Movie Worst Label Least Concealed Bigotry (Racism) in a Cartoon Least Concealed Bigotry (Islamophobia) in a Cartoon Least Concealed Bigotry (LGBT) in a Cartoon Laziest Non-Gorrell Cartoon Most Easily Reinterpreted Overall Worst Political Cartoon Best Edit/Parody World Famous W fucked around with this message at 08:42 on Jan 19, 2018 |

Worst Breakup with 44: Worst Nazi Sympathizer Cartoon:  Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy:  Worst Caricature:  Worst Label:  this cartoon certainly would win a lot of categories we unfortunately don't have Least Concealed Bigotry (Islamophobia) in a Cartoon:  Least Concealed Bigotry (LGBT) in a Cartoon:  Laziest Non-Gorrell Cartoon:  Stiglich straight up traced a pacifier and slapped a sports team logo on it for a cartoon, and I still don't think it was his laziest piece Most Easily Reinterpreted:  W, I hope this year if a single cartoonist has two candidates for a single category you'll include both cartoons if it's very hard for you to judge which is the worse one for voting

Strom Cuzewon posted:I can't even tell what's going on in it. Is it lovely in content as well as form? It's based on the Norman Rockwell painting "The Problem We All Live With," which depicts a little black girl enduring abuse as she's escorted to her newly-integrated school.  Betsy DeVos is the Secretary of Education, who is widely and rightfully maligned for A. having no education experience or qualifications at all for the post aside from donating millions to Trump's campaign and B. her commitment to defunding public schools and rolling back civil rights protections in schools.

Dick Burglar posted:What's the Limbaugh one? In 2009, Rush Limbaugh tried to become part-owner of the St. Louis Rams. He got dropped by the group he was going in on buying them with in part because the NFL player union opposed him buying the team, because of the racist bullshit he'd said in the past, including specifically about the NFL. Rush raised a stink about it and blamed political correctness. That leads us to one of the worst political cartoons of all time.  You've got the hypocrisy of using an anti-racist painting to defend racism, but on top of that, Mike Lester appears to have no idea what was happening in the original painting. The Federal Marshals helping Ruby Bridges in the painting, but here, those figures are used to represent entities that oppose Rush Limbaugh. So we're to conclude that Mike Lester thought the Federal Marshals in the original painting were taking her to jail or something.

So I've been going through the thread (and some of this poo poo is really depressing to look back on), and I'm wondering if Actual Nazis should be disqualified from "Worst Nazi Sympathizer Cartoon." Redpanels guy was still around, and him being so open about it potentially lets the assholes making implicitly Nazi-supporting arguments (the McCoys, Lester, Branco) off the hook. As far as my brain lets me remember, Redpanels was the only one actively identifying that way (literally bowing out with a "Sieg Heil") but there may have been more.

I dunno. Racists gonna racewar but they usually are self aware enough to have either nuance or self depreciation. Mainstream Republicans like bill O tend to say way worse stuff because they don't even think it is controversial. Edgelord jokes about how many Jews fit in a car are horrific but they also recognize the Holocaust as real. Saying black NFL players have no reason to protest
