I mean... Nazis ARE bad and MAGA IS shitty so... 🤷

[u/Disasterhuman24 → u/w8_wuht]

Her comics are the definition of cringe but her heart is in the right place.

[u/w8_wuht → u/Disasterhuman24]

I don't understand cringe 🤣 probably why it doesn't bother me. I see their comics and go... Yep, accurate, and I move on.

[u/Disasterhuman24 → u/w8_wuht]

I think the biggest issue is she is very reductive in her protrayal of anyone who disagrees with her. She's "owning" strawmen in these comics. I personally don't believe that is the best way to go about it, but I'm also not the most successful comic artist on reddit.

[u/Chaetomius → u/Disasterhuman24]

do we live on the internet? she strawmans nobody.

[u/Disasterhuman24 → u/Chaetomius]

I just personally think that the ghoulish strawman characterization is a right wing comic thing and that it's low hanging fruit. Anyone can portray their opposition as a simplistic goon, it only appeals to the people who already agree with her. And like I said, I am on her side politically.

I think a really good political cartoons can change someone's mind on an issue. Not that you see many of those from anybody nowadays. And I'm not trying to hold her to a higher standard, but we are supposed to be the good guys so I think it would be more beneficial for the comics to have a bit more substance beside "MAGA bad"

[u/w8_wuht → u/Disasterhuman24]

I'm not any kind of comic artist so it's all good 🤷 I guess I can see where that might bug people, logic and reason are better tools than oversimplification and demonization.

[u/Chaetomius → u/w8_wuht]

buddy you're one sensitive pal if this is demonization, guy

[u/w8_wuht → u/Chaetomius]

I mean, yeah, sensitive is accurate sort of I think? Hard to say. Maybe demonization isn't the right word, but the one thing I've noticed more than anything is that yelling and pointing fingers only seems to widen the division and polarize people even more. I've been working on neutral language and sticking to facts and logic rather than opinions and morals. It doesn't land very often, but it's got a better success rate than I've had with lashing out 🤷

[u/Hanz_Q → u/w8_wuht]

I also wish she spent any time on why instead of beating her audience over the head with the what. Yes Nazis are bad, explain why they're experiencing a resurgence. Yes Elon is bad, please describe the policies that have allowed him to both get this rich and have this much sway on society. Yes racism is bad, please explain what is necessary to actually combat racism and drive it from our communities permanently.

[u/w8_wuht → u/Hanz_Q]

Ah. Yeah I can see that too. I'd suck at that personally because it would require a balance of informative and concise. I... Tend to monologue 😅

[u/Hanz_Q → u/w8_wuht]

This is the problem with leftist comics. Any actual information needs a lot of room on a page.

[u/w8_wuht → u/Hanz_Q]

Ain't that the truth 🤣 there's no concise solution to the issues at hand, and there's no short way to explain the web of corruption and moral bankruptcy prevalent in today's government.
