  • I initially misread your comment.

    I don’t know if this was the intention or if the intention was to show that male paedophiles may pretend to be trans to get access to children. While I profoundly disagree with any characterisation of trans people as sexual predators (which is frankly nonsensical generalisation of diverse society) , I rather have less biological males (irrespectively of how they are identifying themselves) around toddlers than biological females, again irrespectively of how they identify themselves. Let me put it this way - there is more male than female paedophiles.

    Now I can be easily accused of misandry.






  • I looked at the ones you posted and I don’t believe at least some of these are saying what you think they are saying.

    Admittedly, the first one (with Muslim woman) I don’t get. The second one to me means that the voices of people can be lost among the people who shout the loudest. Third one is about hypocrisy of people applying different standards to themselves and to others. Etc.



  • But as for the comic it just, to me, especially with the artists other works, seems to clearly be saying “woke stuff is stupid and hypocritical”

    I don’t believe this is what he says. He criticises certain ideas. Some of his comics criticise social media (one I did post a couple days ago), some corporate treatment of customers (this one), some pretended charities (one I posted today).

    People are multi dimensional and can be right about certain things while being wrong about other things. That doesn’t mean all their work should be dismissed - it is this bizarre Lemmy besieged fortresses syndrome. It is idiotic.



  • I’ve never actually seen a black person be mad about a white person doing their hair in dreadlocks

    Agreed, I have never seen anyone of any race making such argument against any other race.

    using that to reject the whole idea which does have some merits

    I cannot see the merits at all. The whole idea of some races being more entitled to clothing/hairstyle/music/food etc. is ridiculous and inherently racist.

    While the comic you posted may be almost fighting a strawman, it is not wrong in criticising the idea per se, just possibly criticising something quite niche and rare.
