I could use every ounce of your rage!http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view1/20140131/4967673/jeremy-irons-d-d-o.gif
This should be fun.
I think the last WGDF was the funniest and most biting strip I've seen.
And the response was...delicious.
Poor little white guys making excuses for themselves.

I hope it is. The entire universe will implode on itself in a storm of white-hot rage. The Escapist will basically become reverse-tumblr.RatherDull said:
I can't say I was ever a fan of the first comic. Baiting people to real anger seems like poor comedy to me. There was a viciousness to it that never sat right with me. Right or wrong, if a similar comic had been written about any other group/subject, there is no doubt in my mind many more people would have found it appalling. I will likely always be astounded at the cognitive dissonance people can hold on controversial subjects.
Oh goodness me.
Despite me being one of the people that took a tad bit of issue with the last one, I am deeply excited about the prospects of another one of those threads.
With any luck 4chan will pay another visit. That's when things got really interesting last time.
For maximum effect I recommend combining race issues [i/]and[/i] gender issues into a single super-topic.

I take it back. THIS needs to be the topic. That would just be incredible.RatherDull said:
Do you understand that that's exactly why it was put into the comic in the first place? The entire comic - from start to finish - was specifically designed to poke as many possible hornets' nests as they could. That's why they're not just making up "white guy" excuses. Red is a "bro", Blue is a "brony", and Yellow has a fedora. It's layers upon layers of flame-bait!RatherDull said:
Silly, silly Topaz - you know everybody's either going to go Leeroy Jenkins in this ***** or just watch from the sidelines. I hope you like Hearthstone, because you're going to have to do a LOT of Control. >TopazFusion said:
I think it's probably more to do with people screaming "SJW" every five seconds.RatherDull said:
Ah, Grey, you are so deliciously malicious.
I don't think I can look...

I think it's in response to the "#NotAllMen" trend that popped up in response to the "#YesAllWomen" one on Twitter.Zachary Amaranth said:
Indeed they were, but Grey wasn't saying that bronies have knee-jerk reactions to racism/etc. They knew that the topic for that comic was likely to gain a lot of heat considering the nature of this forum. On any given day you can always find at least 3 topics created on sexism/racism/gender issues/what-have-you somewhere on this site. But why stop there? They decided to go all out and just started adding in little details to rope in even MORE heat. Which is why Twilight Sparkle is tucked comfortably under Blue's arm. It's why Yellow's current status is Euphoric. It's why Red thinks that Erin is "mirin'".RatherDull said:
As I said: it's layers upon layers of flame-bait. The entire comic is flame-bait just for the topic that it's addressing. All the little details in the comic are just flame-bait sprinkles on top.
Out of curiosity, do you often find humor in people being emotionally upset and angry? I mean that as an honest question as I find it fascinating.1Life0Continues said:This should be fun.

So far I've only seen people waiting for a response and the banhammer to drop.
But this is like taking one of the guys from the Ginyu Force and taking them to a photo shoot.
It's one guy, a nice picture, no context.
Just because he stands there and belongs to the WGDF doesn't mean we'll get people raging. I think....
as said, a nice drawing

That's the point. It's making fun of the insecurities of certain members of the most secure group. Doesn't work if you are doing it to a less secure group.Gorrath said:
It depends on your sense of humor, really. The last WGDF comic was basically one big joke on the readers. If you "got it" then you weren't upset or offended. If you didn't "get it" - i.e. you took offense - then you went to the comic section and raised hell about it. Basically it boils down to how seriously you took the comic and whether or not you could see it for the obvious flame-bait that it was.RatherDull said:
Honestly, the meanest part of the whole comic wasn't any of the writing or images presented, it was the fact that those that took offense and raged about the comic often met with the business end of the ban hammer.
