I’m not sure if I’m “in” on the joke. I’ve seen the Japanese Jesus ones but it’s the first time I see this one with the fish. I noticed the right to repair, foss message of JJ. I get the feeling this comic would have a similar bent. I have no idea if these characters belong all in the same universe, or if he’s already made one in which the puffer fish explodes, I don’t know, but I dig

Are we rounding up or down?
Your interpretation of reality is rather accurate, I agree with your view on the first panel. Is this a case of broken clock sometimes right though? I’m not sure.
The second panel places what appears to be a trans person in the role of the unpleasant character. Odd choice, especially for someone who typically doesn’t depict minorities like these. If the message was just as you say, it could have been easily delivered with a character that doesn’t raise questions about their gender identity. All this character needs is to be rude and look buff and ugly. Why choose someone of ambiguous gender for this if you also don’t consider this trait a part of the unpleasantness?
Interesting.
Looking forward to this cereal comic.
I wonder if that puffer fish is destined to pop at some point.
I like the subtle hint on that graph at the end of the bed.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•[Meta] Posting comics from transphobic artists?
11·13 hours agoI’m against censorship, but I’m pro for curated content. I would be happy to make a rule in which after reaching a certain amount of downvotes, a post has to be removed. I also think it is reasonable to ban someone if they consistently post content that keeps getting downvoted. This is no different than spamming or trolling.
Sounds like the average Australian doctor to me
I’m not much of an outdoors person myself however I do own two foldable knives. Indoors I tend to use kitchen knives and the retractable blades sorts which is actually stationery but yes we agree blades are incredibly useful
However having said that easily half the people I know don’t own any blades that cut, not even in their kitchens.
Hah yes exactly how clever of you to figure it out, thanks for explaining me! And how clever of the artist to come up with a hog cranking joke! Almost as good as a fart joke!
🤔 hm… I guess that works too

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•[Meta] Petition to include comic identifiers in post titles
12·16 hours agoThe majority of his content posted here is cringe and misogynistic, in that order, but yes I’ve also seen the trans/queer phobia content. You are not wrong.
I would just ban it on the grounds that the sheer amount of downvotes proves the majority of the community deem the content subpar, so why leave the trash to spoil the rest of the otherwise nicely curated gallery? We already have rule 2 which says content should be enjoyable by most. The user posting those is clearly a troll and a repeat offender at that.

6·16 hours agoI’m not 100% seeing how this could be implemented. I get the concept though. You speak of tags, however tagging systems are very inconsistent across the fediverse and apps used .
I don’t have anything against the idea, but only as long as this doesn’t become in itself reason for banning content. Optional yes, compulsory no.
I’ll keep my peepers open

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do y'all feel like you just have no shame in front of family (or I guess also very close friends) and randomly sing weird songs (or even made up ones), but feel kinda embarassed in front of strangers?
2·20 hours agoNo. I tend to be quiet but I’ve learned this often makes people uncomfortable. I don’t need to talk around close family, but if I notice uncomfortable body language in a colleague after a long pause in conversation I’ll try to come up with something to say.
I never sing though. Anywhere.
Interesting, I’ll keep in mind










Maybe, I don’t know. Perhaps I’m already so negatively biased against this artist that I presume the worst from the get go.
