  • No, I get it, I think it’s wrong.

    Their narrative is that she was driving her car at them, her being unarmed is either irrelevant (because they don’t claim she was attacking with a weapon) or incorrect (if the vehicle is a weapon.)

    So again, just repeating their narrative of “an unarmed woman was trying to kill an agent” without major transformation is just repeating their narrative. ICE claims she was attempting to kill, and this meme portrays her as someone about to kill. No satire or parody, it’s not emasculating because it’s literally just reinforcing their claims. They claim she was a danger and a threat, this meme portrays her as a danger and a threat and the ICE nazi in imminent danger.

    Instead of just flipping it and having ICE being the one hunting down a defenseless person trying to run away, which would make sense and not thoughtlessly reinforce the ICE narrative.

    what an extremely lazy comic, “weekends good, unions good” and reusing the same panel 4 times. Couldn’t even contrive a scenario to share your opinion with a setup and punchline. And if you really want to get nitpicky, it’s not even correct because blue says “thank god it’s the weekend,” not “thank god for weekends.”

    The insult isn’t being gay, the insult is being a hypocrite.

    Do you actually know if he is gay, and therefore a hypocrite? Or are you just calling him gay because it would be funny?

    Either way, the insult is still being gay. They wouldn’t call his wife a beard if it wasn’t a bad thing. Maybe you use homophobia even against a target you think is valid. I mean, if he is such a bad guy, then surely his actions are enough to use against him and not make up random grade school nonsense? Even if he was a gay hypocrite, that’s irrelevant to why he’s bad.

    All of that is on top of the fact that by calling every homophobe gay, you are blaming homophobia on gay people.










  • well, it could be because everything she touched got demonstrably worse when she contributed. Huh…?

    Not really? Sorry you don’t like Lennon’s post-Beatles career, but he would take great umbrage to you saying she “ruined” him.

    as a Yoko Fan

    I’m actually not, just because I’m not a Yoko Hater doesn’t mean I like her.

    Artistically you’re going to say she added something GOOD to the performance?

    Not at all, it’s rare for me to enjoy experimental music, I can just compartmentalize Yoko the artist and not try and pathologize her as banshee that seeks to ruin everything she touches because she makes noises I don’t like.
