i have been reading political cartoons for decades and they still have not progressed beyond "if this isn't a thing than why do i keep insisting it is?" and "are you really going to arrest mister dahmer, it was only one meal?" level of disingenuous.

Xander77 posted:That's the issue you take with this cartoon? Not the complete lack of absolutely anything besides the talking point du jour, stated so nakedly that even drunky duck would blush? obviously, this makes the inverse true: you can't arrest a man you hate no matter what. it's why i made enemies with security at the mall. now when i walk out of hot topic and they try to detain me i scream "THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DILDOS IN MY POCKETS THIS IS BECAUSE I SPILLED SOY SAUCE ON YOU LAST WEEK, TREVOR!!" and they have to let me go. it's why "lock her up" isn't hypocritical: trump is very sincere, deep in his heart, that hillary should go to prison. not because he hates her! everyone who wants trump to go to jail for his many crimes just has a personal grudge

Vib Rib posted:No I can't believe "official sources are now stating that COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak in Wuhan". Probably because it's not loving true. funny how the only reason they even looked into the issue is because biden authorized every lab to look into it and come to a conclusion. they never seem to mention that the.

Tindalos posted:Kelly Nomination: Answers own question. there's no reason it had to be that specific gun. "if you outlaw guns than spree killers will just use another weapon!! also if you take away this specific gun from the police they'll be completely helpless" this is "and yet you yourself protect by gun " and loving yes, i'm ok with the people trained to use guns properly and handle them responsibly having them. like some sort of well-regulated something-something

He draws kids happy with who they are and expressing themselves how they want and this is supposed to be a bad thing somehow. nope, special mechanical glasses with no mechanisms or even lens change because he drew the comic, realized someone might be confused, and added a "click" but nothing else you can always tell when someone thinks they need to talk down to you.

the_steve posted:Also wrote a sitcom wherein one episode the boss of the company dates and falls in love with a trans woman but breaks up with her upon realizing she's trans. then it turns out he thought she said she "used to be from iran" and he went back to being the gross monster. she was 100% awesome and sympathetic while he gained and lost a huge amount of awesome points (later exchanged for electric sex pants) it's like lineham once accidentally checked out a man from behind and swore a blood oath to never be fooled again. this weird sketchy scared energy about the subject

Angepain posted:Tatsuya and Linehan is a good comparison, both well known among a small group of nerds (webcomic fans/british sitcom fans), becomes a born again feminist while also kinda making it about him (Tats' second-wave anti-porn thing, Glinner weighing in against gamergate back in the day) and then gets led down a rabbit hole of terfism from there in a gradual descent of "oh god I didn't think he could get worse" until everyone realises there is no depth he will not sink to now i'm picturing lineham standing in a meadow grazing peacefully but every once in awhile wildly jerking his head up in alarm, "is that a dick???" *munch munch munch* "thata dick???"

SubG posted:This is some end-state fashbrain poo poo right here. It's not even "opposite of reality", because understanding what a gun literally is and what it literally does is the only way it works as a visual metaphor. The comic hinges on knowing and understanding the literal truth and just rejecting it and substituting a purely political understanding of the situation instead of the real, literal one.

loving prickly city *two characters composed of vague shapes floating in a void* "boy the symptoms sure are bad huh?" "yeah, really bad. really bad" "but the disease is good!" "oh yeah, can't wait to vote for the disease!" edit: pages ago but there was some discussion and i just wanted to point out that this is a meme. he just redrew a meme into a comic. you know those weird "npc" drawings where their head is shaped like a leaky faucet or whatever? to imply that you're an npc who doesn't think? this is just a redraw of one of those. same pose and everything, of a line drawing of a person with surgery scars and grafted body parts drooling and saying "i'm a male". it's not some big metaphor or point, just a lazy redraw of someone else's work.
