Just a reminder that this cartoon was apparently bad enough that it forced Tinsley into a "sabbatical".

I keep seeing this thread title when I come to this forum. Since the mods aren't doing anything, I just wanted to let you all know that it's trash. It's 2020. Stop using gay as a pejorative.

I think it's a fair shout, to be honest. Would we tolerate "I know it looks like casual bigotry but actually it's an in joke" as a defence from any of the dipshits we're making fun of in this very thread?

Speaking as both the OP and a gay trans woman, you're cordially invited to take your drive-by performative wokeness somewhere else.

As someone who's also gay, I posted because I genuinely disliked the title and didn't understand why it was allowed here. Reporting the title didn't elicit any response, so I said something. So it's an in joke? Okay. It makes me feel slightly better that it's not bros labeling everything they don't like as gay. But please remember that in jokes and ironic bigtory are not necessarily shields in a public space. Also they can lead to unfortunate events. See the history of this forum.

D&D is not FYAD. We aren’t the type that Doxx trans people and wallow in bigotry. We call out anyone who post slurs and racial epithets. Hell the categories above show how much we loathe the bigots who make a (possible) living on homophobic and racist content.

Ither posted:Performative wokeness? I don't think that's fair. It's not "ironic bigotry", and this is exactly what I mean by "performative wokeness": you're not actually listening to anybody or doing even a smidgen of investigation, you've just seen the Woke-Signal go off in your brain and by God you're gonna lecture everybody until they admit you're the Wokest. "Gay Abortions", as you can see from the image in the OP, is from a panel in a parody of political cartoons:  (By the way: when I image-search for "Gay Abortions" cartoon, the full comic is the second hit.) In this thread we celebrate the worst and most ridiculous political cartoons, and we do it with a title that comes from the most ridiculous panel of a deliberately-bad political cartoon.

Ither posted:Performative wokeness? I don't think that's fair. History lesson: there used to be a political cartoon webcomic called Right Left Center. It looked like this:  It's kind of hard to find other examples, since it has been deleted long ago and this page seems to be the only survivor. The author of RLC also had another now-defunct webcomic, Electronic Tigers, which was sometimes political, but was mostly about a bunch of geeks and the token ambulatory pair of boobs, like the banner shows. Here are a few delightful samples:    But he also used it to shill for a ridiculous pyramid scheme:  (Yes, that racist caricature is the author's self-insert. He also used the pen name "Hapajap". He figured that if he was racist against himself, that gave him the right to be racist against others.) So eventually there was this parody:  And since then "Gay Abortions" has remained a symbol of mocking political cartoons made by shitheads.

Well, I don't think we need to get rid of the term "Gay Abortions," but it might make sense to change the thread title to something else and the "Gay Abortions" phrase be in the OP, so that you won't see it unless you go into the thread. I guess I can see how someone who's not in on the joke might feel blindsided by seeing it in passing.

The results are in and it's time to announce the winners! Before we begin, here's an opening act for you to enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMwhl4IrPNc And now, without further ado, the 2019 Gaybies! Worst Can't Let Hillary/Obama Go Cartoon For the second year running, Ben Garrison takes this category, with 37% of the vote (a full 50%, actually, if you count the votes for his runner-up cartoon) going to his grotesque hatred of Hillary Clinton.  Runners-up:   Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy (Hurricane/Flooding) This and Wildfires only got one entry apiece, which contributed to the restructuring of the 2020 Gaybies.  Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy (Wildfires)  Worst cartoon about a Tragedy (Mass shooting) 34% of the vote means congratulations to Mike Lester, who apparently imagines that if you're a "good guy" and you have a gun, the gun provides a force field, and also that Muslims attending Friday Prayer should do so with machine guns hidden under their clothing.  Runners-up:   Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy (Other) Paul Zanetti takes this category with 50% of the vote. All those teenagers protesting climate change were really just little kids who wanted the day off, amirite?  Runner-up (and just barely, with 40%):  Worst Obituary Cartoon 37% gives this category to JRRose! and his milquetoast tribute to Luke Perry (and ignorance, apparently, of everything else the actor ever did).  Runner-up:  Worst Caricature Despite the breadth of choices in this category, Rob Smith, Jr. managed to get 24% of the vote with that loving Ilhan Omar drawing.  Runners-up:   Worst "A Thing Happened" Cartoon Henry Payne takes this category with 16% of the vote and a cartoon that could better be described as "Did A Thing Happen? I Wasn't Paying Attention".  Runners-up:  Worst Label 18% gives this category to Andy Marlette. Thank you, Cum Pass. We appreciate you.  Runners-up:   Most Incomprehensible I almost feel bad awarding this category to Jerry Holbert, but 31% of the electorate agrees with me when I say: Huh?  Runners-up:   Least Concealed Bigotry (Racism) in a Cartoon We all know Sean Delonas is a hate golem, but his depiction of Latin Americans here is particularly despicable, and took 24%.  Runners-up (a three-way tie!):    Least Concealed Bigotry (Islamophobia) in a Cartoon This was our first lightning-round category, and Warren Brown took 75% of that vote with, uh, definitely an opinion of Muslim men.  Runner-up:  Least Concealed Bigotry (LGBT) in a Cartoon Stonetoss, the venerable "not actually no really I am tee hee a Nazi" monster, gets 24% of the vote for forgetting that adoption exists and having weird ideas about what "dropping the kids off at the pool" means.  Runners-up:   Least Concealed Bigotry (Misogyny) in a Cartoon I am struggling to decide whether AF Branco, with 37%, actually means this woman to be unattractive or if that's just how he draws people. Either way, there are enough layers of misogyny here that I'd hit the character limit just listing them.  Runners-up:   Worst WALL Comic 55% gives another to Branco, whom I'm starting to think is not a very good artist.  Runners-up:   Worst attempt to Minimize Dem victory in the House With only one entry in this category, it was easy to give this category to... *checks notes* Oh, Jerry.   Laziest Non-Gorrell Cartoon There was a lot of competition in this category this year, and yet Gary McCoy managed to pull 42% (and Mike Ramirez, below, an additional 24%) with this "splatter tool and scribble" tribute to the thousands of doctors and nurses who have selflessly defended women's reproductive rights over the last 46 years. (That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.)  Runner-up:  Most Easily Reinterpreted Another lightning-round category, AF Branco managed to narrowly beat Mike Lester who in turn beats his wife, 41%-34%. In fact, I'm still not quite sure what Branco actually means here. Something something affirmative action?  Runners-up:   Most Willfully Dense Mike Ramirez takes 13% of the vote and this category, with a cartoon where he willfully ignores the difference between house walls and border walls, and also the fact that Pelosi's house doesn't have an enclosing wall.  Runners-up:   Worst Gaslighter Cartoon AF Branco wins his fourth category this year with 16%. The only good thing I can say about this cartoon is that his Omar caricature is marginally better than Rob Smith's.  Runner-up: Overall Worst Political Cartoon A clash of the titans in our final lightning-round match-up! With 78% of the LR votes, Bob Gorrell and "the national debt is exactly as bad as children in cages, and also those cages are spacious and single-occupancy" beat out Bruce Tinsley and the comic that got him suspended from the comics page. Good job on being worse than Bruce Tinsley, Bob!  Runner-up: Best Edit/Parody This year's Edit/Parody of the Year goes to SwimmingSpider, with 18%, for seamlessly adding Johnny Five Aces to Ben Garrison's poorly-thought-out poker metaphor:  And an honorable mention to Pilchenstein, at 13%, for saying what we're all thinking:  The Galatianman Award for Special Achievement in Ignoring Jesus Man, Branco's really racking up the wins this year. It's almost as if he's a terrible, terrible cartoonist. Just terrible.  1And because he's a terrible cartoonist, in addition to his five category wins, Branco also takes home the AF Branco Knows A Cuss Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless pursuit of letting us all know that Adam Schiff's last name kind of sounds like "poo poo".
