    I’m usually not in either camp, but sometimes you see a post and you just know the type of people it will attract regardless of OPs intentions.

      Funny how most people want their opinions to be respected while not respecting anyone else’s.

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

    There seems to be this new trend of accounts being created to post this low quality rage bate and other boomer humour at best in this community. This is either a bot, or a really bored loser, either way, the pattern is very obvious (new account that posts 3 comics in a row here and nothing else), and easy to spot and block.

    I know this will have little impact, but do yourselves a favour - don’t feed the troll.

    Imo, anyone that seems to routinely complain about people “taking things too seriously” with their edgy jokes tend to rely more on shock value than actual comedy…

    Y’all aren’t teenagers any more. Using slurs isn’t funny any more.

    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.

      That’s subjective though

      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.

    Man, this reminds me so much of a recent submission I made. The amount of BS text certain “users” can write and the extents they will go through to it for something relatively harmless is wild, specially when they are the sort to make wild unproven accusations.

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