Can't find any mentions in this thread, so here's the new Gaybies nomination thread, for everything our ennui made us skip over during the year.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It's a nominations post, not a voting post, so Ambitious Spider, you've jumped the gun. As per thread rules, you'll have to edit your post if you want to nominate anything that isn't already in that thread.

Pants Donkey posted:

I can make the gay abortions thread, but I'm going to ax like 90% of the categories because this is a ridiculous amount of time and effort spent on political cartoons.

It'll be: Worst Cartoon of the Year, Best Edit of the Year, Worst Cartoon of the Decade (nominees will be from prior Gaybies), Best Edit of the Decade (ditto).

That's it.

Sorry, Pants Donkey, but impotently raging against things we can't change is all we have left.

I think it�s honestly hilarious that this artist went through the trouble of drawing the character as normally male presenting outside of pregnancy and then insisting on being deliberately wrong anyway. I am reminded of the clip where Ben Shapiro correctly gendered a trans person and then had to �correct� himself to be wrong. They�re so determined to be shitheads for basically no reason.

If no one has nominated this for Most Easily Reinterpreted in the cartoon awards thread, you should because I legit thought this was pro-LGBT until I read your comment because I just didn't expect we were supposed to agree with the unprofessional dickhole obgyn insulting the patient instead of helping.

E: like when I saw your comment I went back to the toon and looked who made it, half-expecting to see the pink triangle signature of that guy with a similar art style who makes pro-LGBT cartoons mocking bigots which are sometimes misinterpreted in here as agreeing with the bigots.

It is 2020, and Garrison holds onto his dream

Ben Scarysson posted:

Who Wears it Scarier?

For a long while I�ve predicted that Hillary Clinton would run again in 2020.

I�m surprised she didn�t announce late last year, but she did have some sort of �procedure� to remove many of her wrinkles. She did this to make herself appear more youthful for her next run. The left praised her new look while others, including myself, thought she looked terrifying. He smooth, plump cheeks are now even more bulging. The missing bags under her eyes have somehow given her a maniacal stare. It�s truly frightening�Hillary is scarier than the Medusa herself.

I still expect Hillary to run, but it might not occur until the convention. Hillary is lazy�she wants things rigged. She wants things done automatically behind the scenes. She hates mingling with common people. She�s too aloof and above it all. She�s not good at speeches due to her cough. She would never want to conduct a lot of rallies similar to what Trump has done. For one thing, Trump genuinely enjoys speaking to packed crowds. Hillary would never be able to attract such crowds unless she paid them.

She rigged her nomination the last time�why would anyone be surprised if she didn�t do it again? There will probably be some sort of deadlock that will occur among the delegates. The compromise and solution? Why, draft Hillary�of course! She will be demurring as she is begged to become their nominee. Finally and reluctantly, she will agree. It will be promoted as a miraculous and exciting event among the fake news media. She will have avoided all the hard work of campaigning while collecting the reward. She will simply snatch the nomination amid cheers and the claim that she�s the only one capable of defeating Trump.

If this happens she will lose again because she�s fundamentally unlikeable. She�s ugly inside and out.

Just obsessing over a woman�s looks and criticizing her cough while inventing a new conspiracy.

It must be great to live in such a fantasy world.

The idea that Clinton would be a compromise candidate is absurd. There's no way that it would ever go down like that.

On the eve of Election Day 2020, Garrison draws a cartoon predicting that Hillary will enter the race any minute now. Or, even better, after the vote comes in he�ll insist all the Democratic pledged electors will vote for Hillary instead of the nominee.

100% chance that after the convention he will congratulate all the true patriots for thwarting the deep state and keeping Hillary away from the nomination. Without their hard work and tireless watchdogism, she would have run away with it for sure.

I always thought Aphrodite cursed Medusa because the goddess was jealous of her lustrous hair which she turned into snakes as an ironic twist. But now I see it was Medusa's bodacious rack that pissed off the goddess of love.

Medusa was punished with her snake hair and stone gaze for being raped by Poseidon in Athena's temple. She has become something of a symbol of female rage against injustice.

I remember hearing a version of that story (maybe even in this thread) where Athena did that so Medusa would be able to protect herself in case she was attacked again.

I know you�d never go broke betting against the Democrats� self-awareness, but if the DNC is so out of touch that they put up Clinton in a contested convention then they may as well cancel the primary, concede the election, and allow a new party with a clue to rise.

I didn't say it was likely, I just said it wasn't unprecedented, and therefore more grounded in reality than his usual conspiracy theories

What's he going to do when she dies, or is he older than her and likely to go first, he does have terminal Boomer brain so he could be ancient.

I suppose he'll just insist it's deep cover and she's secretly alive puppetting the Democratic Party from behind the scenes, nevermind his years of insisting she's secretly at death's door and the person who appears on TV is a body double.

I love the alternate reading that Athena gave her superpowers so she could protect herself in the future. I don�t know if it�s true, but I read that women in Ancient Greece often read it that way to the point where Medusa heads were used to mark women�s shelters.

And don't kid yourselves. The higher up democrats hate Bernie so much, that if he were to win primaries they would do anything to stop him. They would rather have four more years of Trump than a Bernie presidency. So I wouldn't be surprised if something weird happens at the convention and they just "have" to run Hillary again.
