Forget about the comparison to feudalism, the comic does little more than say "geeze isn't this guy annoying, popping up all over with these quips?" to which I would say "yeah it must be pretty annoying to be confronted with your own cognitive dissonance and to not have any rebuttal at all"

There's actually a weird little cottage industry of webcomic artists specifically making this type of comic to use as argument ending gotchas to post on twitter but not actually addressing the point being made at all

Making someone change their avatar to a MAGA avatar during Pride month seems really insensitive, not counting all the other awful things that game has done. It’s turning what could be a silly joke (maybe an Avatar avatar or something) into something malicious.

they're making it sound like forcing someone to wear a maga avatar at era is like this



gonna get a poster killed around these parts

I leave this thread for a few weeks and you fuckers fuck it all up

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

its almost like someone built a community, made sure that everyone knew people with blue eyes are the absolute fucking worst to the point they're barely recognisable as human, allowed any conversation about attacking blue eyes without repercussion no matter how far it goes (and in fact protected well know blue eye haters from punishment for other crimes purely because they were active in hating blue eyes), have regular witch hunts of people you suspect might have blue eyes, stifle any discussion suggesting maybe not all blue eyes are as bad as its made out (and often punish those saying that for "Downplaying Known Blue Eyes Movement").

Then you step away from that community, and think it'll be a fun wheeze to make someone wear blue contacts when they lose a bet.

Buttercup in that Ninja Theory leaked footage is the most pandering character I have ever seen in a videogame.

I don't mind fat women characters just like I don't mind fat men characters.









Where that Buttercup design goes wrong is the pink hair with shaved sides and heavy eyeliner mixed with being fat that just makes her the spitting image of a typical tumblrina archetype.

I think the fact that she's got wheels instead of legs, mixed with her being morbidly obese, makes it look like a fat shaming parody.

Anyone that legitimately uses this comic to make any kind of point is a colossal dumbass.

No, your stupid fucking luxury item cellphone is not in any way comparable to improving a function of a mass adopted vehicle or something that you literally can't control like... being born in a society.

You think the slave labor at Foxconn jumping off of buildings is going to give a shit about you and your very mild condemnation of the company that you will KEEP BUYING FROM?  Nah, what they'd rather see is you stop buying that shit so the company they're working for is forced to change or go out of business.  "Oh, but I can't keep in contact with my friends or my work!"  Yeah, bullshit you can't do that with a normal phone that more aligns with your supposed beliefs of not fucking over marginalized groups, but nah, you want all the conveniences that comes with whatever smartphone of your choice.  Or more likely, you just want to surf the internet and play Plants vs Zombies on your lunch break because you're a mindless consumer that's deluded yourself into thinking maybe you have a conscious.  I'd be a lot more willing to believe your "No ethical consumption under capitalism!" pleas if you actually showed you can cut down on those things where possible and not crack whenever a luxury item that you don't need gets released.  Because what you're doing right now is no different than the "out of sight, out of mind" shit that everyone was doing during WWII atrocities.

It's the same with people constantly complaining about Twitter or Youtube or whatever while still using those platforms, and not for work but just to bitch about the platforms.  Like, you realize they have no incentive to change when you're creating content for them as a result of these conflicting views, right?  As cringey as Wil Wheaton is, he actually will put his money where his mouth is and stop using Twitter in protest.  Not a "day of silence" or whatever the fuck it was a year or two ago, but just a flat out boycott.

That goes for all the people that will say "a video game isn't as important as human rights" while buying the next "king of conflict minerals" Nintendo console, or picking and choosing which THQ published/distributed game (so like all of them in Europe) you deem worthy of not being boycotted despite the money going all to the same place.  If you can give all that up to make a point, then you have my respect, but 99% of you will crack like the insufferable hypocrites that you are.

For me it's simpler than that

Forget about the comparison to feudalism, the comic does little more than say "geeze isn't this guy annoying, popping up all over with these quips?" to which I would say "yeah it must be pretty annoying to be confronted with your own cognitive dissonance and to not have any rebuttal at all"

Some people actually examine why they can't find an effective rebuttal and consider changing the way they think about things, or their purchasing habits

Others just keep enjoying their comforts and lamely say "man that guy is annoying"





Also maybe consider where your comic's argument leads if you take it to other natural conclusions

(Image removed from quote.)

I mean yeah, that's largely my issue with it as well in less words.  Like, the takeaway isn't about how the average person is funding atrocities, it's that you shouldn't point that out or you'll look like a douche.  And maybe the intention is a lot less simpler than I think it is, but it always gets used by people that will CRUCIFY you if you support the innocuous (but problematic due to the creator/creation process) things that they don't want you to support.

To be fair to this comic and the creator, sealioning as a verb spun out from this comic... as for what to take away from it, lord knows... maybe don't follow someone into their house if they're being racist? But that flies in the face of current "give them not a moments peace" activism you see from lefties these days.

When it was first made, I asked how people could see that comic and come away seeing the sealion as the bad guy instead of the prejudiced people. The answer was, "He's invading their house!" And I was like, yeah, because "sealioning" (i.e. politely confronting people's expressed prejudices) is such a completely normal and fine thing to do that the artist had to make him a home invader to make him into a bad guy, which doesn't at all apply to anyone "sealioning" on the internet.

The response? "Gamergate has driven tons of women out of their homes."

It was in response to a very specific phenomena of gators sending endless messages demanding various things like explanations for innocuous blurbs (i.e. "ugh gamergaters suck") or demanding debate of anyone who mentioned anything negative about gamergate.

The context is, of course, completely lost in 2019.
