The silly behaviour of op and others refusing to look at context, hell-bent on their initial outraged takes is amusingly what a significant part of the artist's work is about. it's incredible.

Dude is gonna get got for "dismissing concerns surrounding transphobia".

Context isn't fully absolving. People have flaws and shortcomings, and an ally in most cases can disregard humanity in others. I'm willing to chalk this up to a poorly thoughtout comic, but this weird rhetoric that the artist couldn't possibly be transphobic because he's made positive comics in the past is equally short-sighted.

He might still be transphobic despite making comics specifically against transphobia!!

[VomKriege]

Because it's Trump's propaganda that journalists lie, which is what the comic is showing us. I don't see how Adult Swim posting a single comic showing this, in these days, could *not* be trying to promote Trump's propaganda.

I can't begin to imagine the sort of artists that could come out of the mindset exhibited in that thread. So far... m0dus and furry kink porn art I guess.

And if you make posts minimizing the experience of trans people I’m going to assume you’re cis. Deal with it.

[stufte]

Context means that they can't be angry professional victims, therefore context can be thrown out!

[VomKriege]

Even knowing the comic in question isn't transphobic...I still can suss out wtf it's trying to say. The burly man in a dress is such a common caricature against transwomen that even knowing it's not a transphobic comic I can't help but see that meaning. I think this is just a really grievous swing and a miss by the artist.

NEED MORE LABELS !

 
Art is all about easy, transparent messages.

Interesting thread, to say the least.

I don't think you can say the art lacks substance because people are debating it.

We're debating exactly how much substance it lacks.

Wait... But...

Welp, I feel like a right dope for jumping the gun and throwing my two cents in without knowing the context of the strip.

Weird how art intended to have meaning has meaning (intended or otherwise).

How could that possibly happen?

[stufte]

I wonder how Ree would take a Treachery of Images version of Trump that said something like "This is not a racist".



Guessing they're not smart enough.

[Tasty]

Weird how this arts meaning, however nebulous it may be, can't just 'be.' No, in today's world, art that is designed as a mirror pointed against the onlooker isn't the onlookers fault, it's the artist for showing them their own flaws.

The best part is that once this absurd machine is running it's hard to stop. Look how many people haven't read the thread but jumped right to commenting.

Mathiu Conel is definitely getting banned in that thread (for what, I'm not sure, since his posts are generally much calmer than the people he's responding to.)

All comedy is Trump propaganda 

Jokes and satire are invented by the alt-right/gamergate to obscure the truth   

[Tasty]

Last Podcast on the Left had a humorous/depressing point about how in our current society, comedians are now self-appointed arbiters of justice and moral authority, while the politicians are making fun of each other and saying ever-more-outrageous things to score votes.

So they all think women get tax benefits and some sort of legal protection for being women?  Lol

I think at most of you own a business you can get priority on some federal contracts but WTF else do these people think you “get” for being a woman?

The normal incel/MRA type bullshit:

"oh women have it so much better they get anything they want just because they're women"

But jokes on them they have to be attractive to get those benefits

I understand, but this forum designs machinations of hate with everything in our culture. There's too much cry-wolf and it honestly makes the world seem worse than it truly is. I understand there's a lot of bad shit out there, but the cultural tone around here is so damn cynical and finger-pointing. It's just damn tiring.

A bit like this

That thread may take another turn when they realize the comic isn't transphobic, but it probably is about social media, and "journalism" is not meant literally.

No, but it has everything to do with legions of privileged people being too dense to fathom that interpreting something that looks transphobic as transphobic isn’t the primary issue here.

Isn't learning that the comic isn't transphobic something to be happy about? Hey, Adult Swim is not a transphobia network after all, awesome.

Instead it's all about how actually it's still very problematic and how even dare you to suggest and how not slick of adult swim to not include context etc. etc.

At the risk of sounding like I am defending the mental institution and ruining all of our fun, have you noticed that, in a thread which was ostensibly a ban-baiting thread, there are only two bans and neither is for "history of a history, excusing trainsphobiabia in an overly sensitive thread"?

Either the wholesale mod changes are actually a positive thing and the new standard going forward will be for more common sense moderation or the hair-trigger banning of reasonable members is starting to hurt Cereals bottom line.

It's a real shame that in a thread where trans people have explained how hurtful the stereotypes that the artist inadvertently depicted in this comic are, we still have people coming in and dropping a "you're just to dum to understand the comic" hot take.

we're used to it

Used to what? Being too dumb to understand a comic or people reminding you that you are dumb?

EDIT: Also, do they not see the irony of throwing around the term "hot take" when this whole "controversy" was started by the most massive hot fucking take of all?

When every thought and feeling is 100% validated through your carefully curated in group, it can be hard to hear that your perception of reality is maybe not the actual reality. I wonder if they stopped getting so fucking triggered by EVERYTHING if they'd be happier individuals.

But again I think that a good part of their happiness is derived from being the victim.

Going by the number of suicide and depression threads and that "what illnesses do you have", what chance is there of any of them actually experiencing real happiness?
