You could pick any day in the last 200 years and say that [US President] was trying to [do something to foreign nation]. It means nothing

I wonder if blind people read ado as just ado? What?

People say this a lot but it’s just not true

I got my last 10 bucks on you! No, don’t look at me! Run! No, don’t come over here…

Why should the lemmy.world instance of comicstrips be censored when you can make a new instance like “safestripsforgoodboysandgirls” instead of fucking over the larger community?

If most people here are in favour of it, then that’s why.

And then you can leave and make a new instance with your preferred amount of bigotry

If I step into your group of friends one evening and start an unprompted 4 hour lecture on 17th Century Agriculture, would it be censorship if you asked me to leave?

Small communities are allowed to curate themselves. It’s not censorship without that power dynamic, and on some level you yourself must understand this since your go-to comparison was ‘billion dollar fossil fuel advocates’

Because a comics sub on Lemmy is not the government or a church or any other powerful organisation that has any reach beyond itself

It’s a small community of people who are allowed to decide not to welcome bigotry

I think a different comic could put out something similar with just a few changes and make the point that you’re getting at

This one though, hard disagree. Like, the way the second woman is a ridiculous over masculine troll makes it seem that the butt of the joke isn’t the company using these objectifying policies but instead the woman herself, no longer an object of attraction for the man

If women are attractive, they’re trying to exploit you. And if they’re not seductive, they’re monstrous and masculine.

Rather than being a critique of the manufacture of non-intrinsic characteristics, the comic instead mocks those characteristics

And you’re maybe right in that I’m biased to read it that way because of the artist, but at the same time knowing how the artist normally portrays gender and sexual politics makes this the obvious reading and hos audience knows this

The Internet hates modern pokemon - and a lot of their critiques are valid - but imo they’ve been consistently fun and I have no idea why there’s so much hate for the latest ones which were a pretty chill time

Was/were are verbs, not pronouns (yes I am fun at parties thanks)

Ah yes, the answer to any social problem: eugenics

As a knowledge fight fan, I feel like I should say that it’s more than a ‘fact check’ - it started out more like that, but it functions as a deconstruction of the methods, motives and aims of a right-wing idealogue and by extension, others in that sphere (tucker carlson, rogan etc)

It’s a good way to keep up with and have an understanding of what’s going on in that horrific but impactful space without having to wade in yourself
