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

    Progressives pulling the boy who cried wolf routine on bigotry muddy the waters of the topic, which they don’t care about, because it’s just a means to grab a little social power to them.

      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.

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

            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.

    I mean, what was the post? Some things that are posted are offensive whether or not you intended that and it’s not unreasonable for someone to comment on that.

    If it’s happening to someone so often they need to physically move to a different platform, maybe they should pay more attention to what their saying and the audience you say it to.

    Like if I’m with friends and someone makes a dead baby joke, I’d probably laugh, if someone recently had a miscarriage the reaction to that joke will be very different.

    I wouldn’t expect a lot of 4chan jokes to fly in normal society and if you can’t engage with normal society without making 4chan appropriate jokes, maybe you need to work on your conversational skills.

      Indeed, if someone gets a little butthurt due to a simple joke, it ain’t your fault they shoved it up their own asses.

    This reminds me of people who comment, say on video clips of older movies and television, “you can’t make stuff like this anymore.” Just an unhelpful take on the situation. One that takes no effort to come by. Regurgitation at best.

        it’s not that you “can’t make” it… you can make whatever tv or film you want to. it’s that you’d have a hard time selling it in the current time.

          Well, to make it, you need money and therefore an investor and you won’t convince anyone with “it” anymore

      It’s not that comments are supposed to be original or something. Sometimes it’s just to engage with the YouTuber or the community or just to boost the algorithm. If you’re looking for good content on YouTube, watch the videos instead

      Well done edgy humor always has its place. Its always sunny is plenty edgy, moreso than anything mainstream from any time prior, and extremely popular. The problem with people who make those comments is they could have NEVER made anything good, theyre uncreative and unthinking, and so they get locked into an outdated mentality and their humor never develops past whatever they found funny in their formative years. Because some things are edgy AND good they mistake being edgy for automatically being good.

    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.

    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
