It de-legitimizes actual debate about issues with racism, homophobia, sexism, etc

When you just lump in everything that is legitimate debate along with batshit crazy stuff, then its far easier to just to dismiss it all and keep acting like a racist, homophobic, sexist ignorant jerk.

If you can't tell what is offensive and what isn't ... it's not a problem with the comic, it might have something more to do with you.

If you can't tell what is offensive and what isn't

That's subjective though

im not offended by this but it itself is not funny. It feels like more of a meme than a comic.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Certainly can’t say it’s a knee slapper

Social commentary cartoon that probably drives more discussion than laughs - not opposed to a range that includes a healthy mixture of everything from cheap laughs to this

yeah. now that I think of it thats pretty much what most political cartoons are. those ones in the comments sections with elephants and donkey. so I was likely being to harsh. its like not a comics section comic but obviously it is a comic. you know I never thought before how memes or at least political ones are so much like political cartoons.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've blocked just about every political community because the memes, despite me agreeing with them, are all horrendously unfunny

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I get that. I have pretty much been blocking anything meme related but man new ones spring up constantly or it feels that way. I swear some of them are practically just for one person to get their memes of their chest.

How is this not a comic? You need to learn how to take a comic

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You need to educate yourself on why this is not a comic.

My butt hurts.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (3 children)

see thats the thing. I usually don't really need to take a comic. its funny or at least amusing. this just feels like bitching.

"Take a comic" isn't a real expression, they are doing a joke where they have paraphrased the second panel.

Pundit from the film Starship Troopers used as a patsy to forward state propaganda.

It looks like Elijah Wood's brother who was kept locked in the attic all these years.

i feel like i need to know the authors political leanings before i upvote this comic... yet i think that might be part of the authors message

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Gonna have to check your post history before i upvote this one

The thing that gets me every time is actually being funny gets shot in the head instantly in the cross fire.
