Is this "Word of Death" thing a misguided protest against political correctness or am I reading too much into it :confused:
I don't think so.

I'm skeptical of the intent considering some of the other stuff, but at minimum I don't see a problem with the concept of depicting the Big Bad Guy using words that are used to suppress/hurt minorities as actually literally hurting people since part of the problem with them is that they think they are no big deal to say to the affected minorities. It could be a very clever metaphor for social justice in the context of some pieces, though here it seems like it was probably serendipitous. If the words were used against the minorities they are supposed to hurt I'd say it was a clever highlight about the hurt those can cause minorities.

Hey, you don't know what's hidden behind those asterisks :colbert:
I wasn't saying anything bad about the comic by that you know. :colbert: It was actually a minor compliment because I kind of like the concept, regardless if it was intended or not or how perfectly it was executed.

I have lots of other better things I could go after criticizing this comic for if I really wanted to spend the time, but it's self-aware so sometimes I'm not sure if it is just being ineffective in parts, oopsing from blindness or actually trying to promote bad things which makes it a little too complicated for me to try to put in the effort for this thread. At least for now.
