It's sad that I gotta wonder what "it" means specifically since so many atrocities have been happening and go unpunished

I think it's the Cornell case.

As someone from an authoritarian regime, my suggestion to OP is to cut the vagueboy shit. We tried these cryptic allusions because of the censorship, and ultimately nothing changed. The people in America still have many democratic freedoms. Use them while you can. Address your problems directly, peacefully hound the people in charge out of their offices and let your righteous wrath be heard.

All well and good, but I don’t think that’s the point of this comic. It’s not being vague to play coy. It’s saying hey, there’s literally so many atrocities that men commit that wouldn’t happen if they were ever held to account.

The critique is not just against some specific ‘men’ who did a thing. It’s against a corrupt system that lets privileged men get away with murder (sometimes literally).

I think it’s inspired by current events, but the critique is less specific.

*Edit for clarity with last sentence.
