Because we suck too, and I've always felt like the name "gay abortions" was a touch edgelordy The Sours or the Sickos would be fine. And, yeah, once Tinsley finally finishes what he's started I think the Tinsley Memorial Awards for Awful Political Cartooning would be a fitting tribute

Because it's how we've always done it is a dumb reason to keep a name, and Whiskey Sours is as good as any. Or the Blood Gates. Annual Opening of the Blood Gates, Bloodies for short. We'll always still have Smartephant and the rear end.

If we wanted a name for the awards that is even less comprehensible than "gaybies", might I suggest the Thorsberg Bronze Quill awards for cartooning excellence?

Yeah, I can definitively understand how it sounds to someone entirely unfamiliar with the in joke. The good news is we have a giant list of equally unfunny in jokes to choose from.

The Awards Formerly Known as the Gaybies. Both arguments are pretty good and I do so enjoy that gay abortions panel very much. Being gay and hearing it used as the pejorative is annoying at best and anxiety inducing at worst. The current name is obviously easy to misinterpreted and very very esoteric. I'm worried that calling it the Whiskey Sours could be more a dishonor to one of our most beloved poltoonist, but with his blessing it could be a fun way to honor probably the most honest of them.

Nameless Pete posted:Like "Oscar" or "Tony," you could just call them "The Geralds." This is good. E: It's good because much like the Tony and Oscar awards, it's a nickname for a much more formal name so you get the best of both worlds. You can call it officially the Gay Abortion Award For Artistic Excellence in Journalism or whatever, but the commonly viewed thread title can be "the Geralds" so as not to disturb any casual forum readers unfamiliar with the context.

Seriously, though, I think it's fine to keep the title to use amongst ourselves in the thread, it's just the public-facing title that should probably be changed.

I've asked Stan Kelly on Twitter what drink he thinks should represent the worst of cartooning (whiskey sours clearly represent the best!). I'll report back if I get a response.

The Mikeys, after Ramirez or Lester, pick one. The Brucies, after Tinsley. The Teddies, after Rall. The Bennies, after Garrison. The Tinas, after Norton-Garrison. For older thread in-jokes, the Weathervane Awards, the Crack Bongs, or the Backpacks could work.

"Gay Abortion Awards" was absolutely meant to offend people. Just not LBGTQ+, but rather lovely cartoonists. If you're not on the in joke then yeah it can be offensive. However it's for that reason that I can't reccomend we name it after someone or anything like a normal award. If you just happened by a phrase like "Garrison won a Tinsley award this year" then you'd still need to be in on the joke. Otherwise someone won't think it's a bad thing, and someone like Garrison would probably be proud to win a Tinsley. But winning a "gaybie" would immediately be off putting to poo poo bags like him and that's good. You'd always need to qualify the title with the "worst cartoons of the year" or even stuff like whiskey sours wouldn't annoy them. I would vote for something that would still convey a negative message to them. Like poo poo eating scumbag award winners will win shitties. Something like that. Very clear that these cartoons suck to the artists, public, and new goons alike. And yeah I know maybe the artists never even know about us, and we might say the awards are just for us in here. But I don't believe that or else we wouldn't be having this conversation and they'd just keep the name.

The cartoonists don't know or care that they're winning any Gay Abortions, but we're having this conversation because there are people browsing D&D who don't read political cartoon threads and would like to not see an incendiary thread title easily interpreted to use their sexual orientation as a pejorative if you haven't memorized an old in-joke cartoon, which they haven't, because they don't read political cartoon threads. It's very little effort to go through, and there's no point in defending the honor and integrity of the politoons thread about the pants-on-the-groundiest JPEGs.

Easy solution: Post the Smartephant and the rear end with each set of gaybies. Now everyone will get the joke!

Bors has read the thread at some point and I’m sure at least a few other cartoonists are aware of us. There’s a non-zero chance cartoonists actually hear about it. The name should definitely have a negative connotation even if it isn’t Gay Abortion

Call it the Dumb and so Goddamn Crazy awards. Both an inside joke for the thread referencing a very specific comic and also an obvious insult so that nobody could think it was meant as a compliment to the winners. Only flaw is I can't think of away to shorthand it.
