Yeah, what's his record now? Two easily misinterpreted comics over a dozen or so years? What a pillock.

I’m not going to speculate on intent but if you make a comic that’s indistinguishable (well aside from the art) from actual mallard filmore comics it’s a bad loving comic

I agree but I'm not sure what comic you're referring to since it hasn't been posted ITT.

Unless of course you're using some strange new definition of "indistinguishable" I wasn't previously aware of.

Ah, I see the problem now. This is in fact a Mallard Fillmore strip, not a different comic which is indistinguishable from Mallard Fillmore.

Experience with chud types who yell at leftists, at least from what I've seen, takes forms like "you're virtue signalling" or "you're phony" or "you're a killjoy" or "you're the real racists". It doesn't tend to use language like "your values are lovely" or "you are unethical"

I mean we have Gamergaters who use "ethics" in their arsenal even though they don't seem to know what it means, so .... I don't know, I'm just shooting from the hip I guess. Don't mind me
Uh yeah. "You're an immoral gay/woman/Leftist Traitor" is a big big part of the right wing in the US. It was shifted a bit after 9/11 to be more of a 'you're a traitor to the US' and less of an anti-family values degenerate but those types are still around.

Yeah, it's like a hit-reel from his webcomic. I used to read Sinfest regularly ages ago, but looking at it now it's just non-stop right-wing persecution complex and how Biden stole the election. At least I can post something from social media now. You find all the classic icons from our age, like Uncle Sam stomping on The Cat in the Hat and the Statue of Liberty in chains.

For more reading, here's a comic from right before Jan 6 showing the infamous real-world conflict between woke leftists and MAGA patriots.
https://sinfest.net/view.php?date=2021-01-03

Here's a later comic showing the lead MAGA patriot being turned on by society!
https://sinfest.net/view.php?date=2021-02-28

And a more recent take where the MAGA patriot's family is being intruded upon by the government, but the daughter (protected by Jesus) shoots the government robots.

You know how some women are so invested in the patriarchy that they constantly put down other women and talk about how they're Not Like Other Girls? Dudes who throw themself into TERFism remind me of that. They're desperate to show that they're Not Like Other Guys.

Did the person who gave the syringe also send the bill? Does the child already have diabetes, does the child get diabetes because of the candy? None of this is clearly communicated.

A bad comic.

A bad comic.

the 'evil witch' is putting needles in kid's candy, so obviously she is trying to harm them!
But then the needle is actually life saving insulin, freely given to a family who cannot afford this needed medicine, so the 'evil witch' is actually doing the family a solid.

Literally pbf'ing a PBF comic. Goons never change. The joke is that she put a goddamn syringe into their Halloween candy which is like this great urban legend but then it turned out to be insulin the kid needed.

This really shouldn't be a difficult concept.

Those two comics are bad. It's extremely fair to criticize them because they are bad.

It's not fair to call the PBF guy a chud just because of those two comics, especially when he apologized for one of them. If he was actually a chud I would expect for him to double down, make some obnoxious "heh, triggered much" posts, and then start making even shittier comics. AFAIW he did not do that. Two bad comics over ~15 years is not an established pattern.
