  • I think racism and tribalism is easy. It’s the first thought of an uneducated person, it’s base, it’s instinct, and it feels good to follow through on any conviction. But most people had no good reason to he racist, you worked with a few migrants, the black guy at college was great, and Jackie Chan movies are great. Then the internet / bot farms / Russia came along, and fed the uneducated a constant steady stream of racist content. Couple that with the people who found politics too boring getting Donald Trump. And he’s seen the racist bot farm content too! He just gets us! Bam, a recipe for disaster.




  • Ive been here over a year and I still don’t know wtf is going on. I don’t know what aussie.zone is, I don’t know what “local” is versus “all”, I don’t know what “all” includes and why it changes. I don’t know how to find new subs except accidentally on “all”, my brother wanted to drop Reddit and join Lemmy, I had no clue how I signed up.

    But, after all that it’s still better than Reddit.

    I ain’t organising to hate her, like I said, I don’t care about any of the circlejerk. And I can use meaningless buzz words too if you like. “It’s pretty fucking authoritarian to silence criticism of art. Just don’t look at my comment, I’m living in your head and you need to figure out why”

    See, fairly pointless rhetoric.

    Ooh, my opinion is my own here.

    I was completely out of the loop with who this creator was when I one day scrolled through /r/comics/top, wasn’t aware of the drama, the circlejerk, you name it.

    Her comedy is bottom of the barrel, obvious, decades old takes, that appeal to an era of the internet when comedy was written by those who had the technical know-how to engage with the internet - i.e., unfunny people.

    Panel 1: she’s eating airline food, followed by 3 panels of silly “yucky food” faces. Final panel “you expect people to eat this stuff??”.

    Panel 1: “honey will you take out the trash” followed by 3 frames of a guy beating up trash. Final frame, pizza cake self insert looking exasperated at the mess.

    Panel 1: she’s excitedly buying stuff from the bargain bin, followed by 3 panels of all her purchases falling apart. Final panel - the “bargain” sticker falls off of “bargain bin”. She has exasperated look with hair pointing out.

    Panel 1: she’s sleeping awkwardly, followed by three panels of different awkward sleeping poses. Final panel, husband is waking up refreshed, she says “maybe we need to swap pillows”

    All of these are technically jokes and/or observations, but just know that if you think these are worth illustrating and sharing, what you consider good comedy is about 15-30 seconds of effort, or the absolute first thing that came to my mind.

    People don’t like PC because her comics sit amongst others who exert effort to - at the very least - add a second layer to their comedy. It’s unearned accolades given to the undeserving.
