Why does that offend feminists? Feminists don't like suggesting women have bodies or something I don't get it. Also, I bet Muir posted on 4chan and nobody responded to him, or something.

My mother was in her late 50's when she was diagnosed with her cancer; I was in my late 20's, unmarried and an only child. She fought hard for three years, taking on every possible treatment she could, including whatever experimental treatment she could get her hands on. In those three years, I married my longtime girlfriend...to prepare for the wedding and reception, my mom got her doc to load her up on enough steroids so she'd have the energy to see her only son get married. I'm sure it's no coincidence that her next "turn for the worse" was her last; at that point, for her, it couldn't have been over soon enough. For three years, she was a warrior. But even warriors need to lay down. Grey Fox fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Jan 14, 2014 |

I think Muir think that anything he enjoys must be opposed by feminists. (If so that gives him better than even odds that he'll be correct.) So basically we have a guy being offended over feminists being offended by something they're not actually offended by.

Apparently it's a series of photoshopped images where the women are so thin that their hip bones stick out more than their stomach. So the cloth from hip bone to hip bone is like a bridge, because it doesn't touch the stomach flesh. Some people complained about it because there's a trend of people posting "thinspiration" photos on tumblr and such, and things like this can cause people with eating disorders to obsess over making their body thin enough for the bikini bridge. Same thing happened with the idea of a thigh gap.

I'm sure Muir buys into the idea that anyone not on some sort of stimulant actually has sex "all night long". Like people are actually having 8-12 hour nonstop marathon sessions of loving and still show up to work ready to go. That's what the songs on the radio say!

itskage posted:It's because OldTennisCourt's post is a counter point to Randler's post. Not Bors' article. I am pretty sure, however that Randler was basically making the point that people should read the original article to form their own opinion on whether or not to agree with Bors though. (And he probably implied a secondary point about how dashingly handsome and incredibly strong he was somewhere between the lines as well.  )My issue with that particular Bors cartoon is that it basically requires expansive context (the one Vogon Poet gave), that is not even easily accessible anymore because Emma Keller's article has been taken offline. And even with aforementioned context, it's hard to see a reason for only Mr. Keller being in the picture. The outrage started with Ms. Keller's Guardian article and from the quotes of it still available, it seems like she really wrote a pretty indefensible piece. Both from a moral perspective as well as under the aspect of journalistic ethics. But Bors does not focus on the guardian article. He goes for the NYT article and in the accompanying blog post only mentions the Guardian article at the end. Almost like an afterthought. Maybe the NYT article is just a companion piece to defend the Guardian one. Maybe Keller has a sincere interest in raising his points regarding pallative care. I don't know which one it is, and Bors' blogpost fails to make a convincing argument for either one. At the end of the day, I still think that Bors cartoon is bad because it requires the reader to make too many presumptions. Presumptions, that the cartoonist failed to give sufficient reason for me to make. On the matter of whether to battle diseases to the last available treatment, I honestly don't know what I should consider the ~correct opinion. It's a pretty safe to assume that everybody here has had loved ones struggling with cancer or other afflictions that made their life a living hell. It might sound like a cop-out, but I think everybody should be able to decide themselves whether he prefers to try each and every remotely possible attempt to "win" over a disease or to just accept fate and try to die on their own terms.* I don't know which one I'll prefer and most people probably won't know until they are in that situation; hopefully, they'll still be physically able to decide then. And this is a reason I don't think arguments about "having more reasons" to live for are particularly worthwhile to entertain. As matter of fact, I think this is issue makes a good point for focussing on criticizing the somewhat objective formal flaws of editorial cartoons instead of trying to compare a cartoon's position on whether or not it conforms with what we think is right. * I have no idea how to phrase those two options without accidentally reusing buzzwords from either side, so you have to make my word for me being neutral on it.

Being around those two must be excruciating. Every loving line out of their mouths is a political point that segues into a sex "pun". It shows that Muir has been alone a long time, he's forgotten how normal people act. Is Sam supposed to get all weak-kneed now that he's called her anorexic or whatever?

Spiffster posted:I don't see Willis drawing lovely Doctor Hibert knockoffs as presidents of the United States, making people pay hundreds for his presence in which he isn't obliged to make eye contact, or just being a total poo poo heel in general. quote:The only reason he gets posted in here is he does a decent political cartoon from time to time. If we didn't post people just because a poster has a problem with them personally or their messages, This thread would be empty. quote:... And I think we had this argument a few years ago... and once again you bring up that he supports rape. He never once did a joke that said rape is OK or funny. He showed one of the sad dangers of college in Dumbing of Age in one of his story-lines. One of the characters was trying to be supportive for her friend who had to go to a party to get an interview for the newspaper, but she didn't want to go because she was really felt uncomfortable about it. They both went to a party, which is outside their comfort bubbles, so the journalist would at least have a friendly face in the crowd. Even when she gets separated due to the interview, she tries to stay within a group of people so she is never alone and when they find out what he was trying to do the guy ends up getting slashed by a broken glass and beaten to a pulp with a bat. Not once does he support a rapist and he is supposed to be despised in all of his actions. Do you just believe that Rape should never be discussed in any medium? That's an awful lot of words trying to brush aside the fact the guy regularly plays rape off as a joke. "Hey look, he date raped them both! Hilarious!" And routinely makes fun of LBTG people with poo poo like a "trans car" and "Leslie Bean". And has his black mouthpiece voice his white guy opinions about race. And his onesided rage feud against Bill Watterson (like Rall's one with Ebert). And smashes his dolls together like they have sex for his mary sues. And his obsession with monkey cheese violence. Hey look at that, all stuff people point out that Muir, Rall, and Tim Buckley do. Why is it ok to criticize them for it, but when this less successful hypocrite gets criticized for it, you charge to the rescue?

Isn't is a common symptom of some kind of brain issue to capitalize stuff randomly? There is no consistency with what he capitalizes or italicizes or makes red. Is it stylistic like how Rall says his eyes not being same same height is his style?

Randler posted:* I have no idea how to phrase those two options without accidentally reusing buzzwords from either side, so you have to make my word for me being neutral on it. I think you're right to be neutral. Being neutral is pretty much the only 'correct' opinion. My reasoning for involving age is because it emphasizes the drastic difference between their two unique situations. A lot of people are looking at it as "person now has cancer" and not all of the other factors involved in their lives that will influence their decisions on what to do. I guess people defending Mr. Keller are saying he's really just highlighting another option. But I think where he went wrong is when he compared their two unique situations in a way where it seemed like he was presenting one option as better than the other, and didn't really go into the reasoning behind why she is fighting to live. This is one of those cases where it's not really what he said that condemned him, but what he didn't say. I won't comment on Ms Keller's article because I didn't read it. Edit: but the fact that it exists is important to how we perceive what Mr Keller decided what to write about. The only real sides to take here are weather or not you think the Mr Keller is an rear end for writing an article where it seems like he's complaining about a sub 50 year old mother of 3 battling for her life. In which case I agree with Bors. itskage fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Jan 14, 2014 |
