It's funny because he's fantasizing about a fellow human being (who happens to be a President he disagrees with) dying horribly.

 The Alt-text is "God just happens to hate the same things American conservatives hate. Go figure." This is basically prime Bors material, even though most of the rest are bland and pointless and I'm not evil so I won't post them anyway.

pd187 posted:What the poo poo is this A genuinely good cartoon. It's saying that Americans are all alike and America was mostly OK, but one day Americans elected a black man to be President. Rich people became worried that a black man might succeed President, and so they decided to wreck America rather than let him succeed. I'll let you fill in the blanks as to who the rich people and the black President are.

Lightanchor posted:What's the alternate reading of the contentious comic? What other 'I got this legally changed' sort of thing could McCoy have been riffing on? Legally changing one's name, or something? You see this is what I'm loving talking about when I say "This isn't a thing people think about when you say this phrase". Seriously if a goon couldn't see it, your average McCoy reader (or McCoy couldn't see it.) SedanChair's assessment of the comic was probably the most correct (beyond the "it's just a for pay greeting card comic" answer, anyway) since McCoy is exactly the kind of guy who hates anyone who isn't as straight, white and male as him. I just don't think he was being a dick about trans people so much "anyone who tries to change what they are", since he, again, has the advantage of being white and male without any questions about his gender identity. gently caress, this explains why he hates the poor so much, too. God drat Glenn, you're a dick. I feel like I need to underscore my disapproval of McCoy while saying anything that seems remotely like it's defending him because god drat gently caress that guy Mirthless fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Apr 30, 2014 |

Seriously if a goon couldn't see it, your average McCoy reader (or McCoy couldn't see it.) Of course, the whole point is that people don't think about it. Then when you point it out they're all "why that never occurred to me! You're crazy." And now you're the one who has to prove you're not "hypersensitive" or "tumblr." It seems you understand the sinister nature of the cartoon now, but I hope you understand how it's also sinister to dismiss an interpretation out of hand because it comes from outside your experience.

If you take it as a given that the American government hates America somehow, then you can be basically an armed insurgent against it and still get to call yourself a patriot!

Mirthless posted:I've met plenty of socially progressive people who get pretty upset about transgendered people existing at all, and I've met plenty of awful, intolerant conservative christians who had some weird blindspot when it came to the issue. Case in point - Iran, which is generally a very bad environment for LGBT people, accepted transsexuals relatively early, to the point that some in gay relationships chose to adopt transsexual identities to achieve social safety.

Iran is hardly a transgender Mecca. They forcibly transition gay people in order to make them straight and refuse to accept the identities of gay transgender people. It's better or at last as good as the US if you're a transgender person exclusively attracted to your birth sex and worse for literally everyone else.

Kiwi Ghost Chips posted:American conservatives hate America, Israel, and our troops? America is a sinful wasteland with liberals in it. I mean, there are people there- GAY people- who aren't dead yet! Israel is full of goddamned Jews, but it needs to exist for the end times to happen according to prophecy. Thankfully it goes away after that point. Our troops are in the control of a Kenyan Muslim. Now is the time for well-armed citizen-soldiers to take back our country. And we can't afford to help veterans. So sayeth the LORD, thanks be to God. Amen.

Over in the freep thread, we've more than once come across one of them saying something to the tune of "loving idiot liberal Jews voting for Obama, don't those morons realize he's worse than a hundred megaHitlers and wants to destroy sacred Israel?!"

It's hard not to see anti-Semitism as being the very root of pro-Israel fundamentalism. "Hurry up and put all the Jews in Israel so they can git vaporized and begin the final countdown!"
