WHITE GUY DEFENSE FORCE GO!
- Thread starter The Wooster
- Start date
LOL, I was thinking the exact same thing.Teoes said:I half expect this'll actually be another one of those threads that is several pages of "Woah, man, shitstorm INCOMING!".. and no actual shitstorm. Don't let us all down, folks.
Loved the comic.
PREPARE FOR THE SHITSTORM OF WARNINGS ABOUT IMPENDING SHITSTORMS.
I...I kind of feel offended by this. I don't really understand, is the comic applying negative stereotypes to white heterosexual males? And if so, is it meant to mirror the racism felt by the man in his story at the beginning? Or is it just saying that all white people are racist? Or is there perhaps some other explanation? All I know is that my race/sexual preference/gender is being made fun of, and I'm not sure if I'm okay with that. Maybe that's the point?
Oh man, that was beautiful.
Totally needs to be a poster so I can stick it up somewhere.
The "Zimmerman mode activate!" was absolutely golden.

Brilliant. Scarily brilliant.
Maybe that'll lead to them not starting!TopazFusion said:

Why would they complain about strawmen? Strawmen tend to be white! >.>Imp Emissary said:
I assume it's short for "admiring."IndomitableSam said:
Did you know it's perfectly legal to be racist to white guys in 78 states? It's true.Daaaah Whoosh said:
Check yo privilege.
Pretty much my thoughts exactly. I'm betting that this one is just "too easy". As in there's a difference between "flamebait" posts and coming right out and saying "Come on you rat bastards, I DARE you to get pissed off at this! PLEEEEEASE! I'm beggin' for your hate!"Teoes said:
Or, to put it another way:
I'm pretty sure this comic is much less an example of flamebait and much more an example of that other thing I said.
BEST. [sub][sub]critical-miss-[/sub][/sub]COMIC. EVER.
Now, dance for me my fellow posters, bring on the hatred, turn up the heat and burn this place to the ground-
Nothing shall be left unscathed, reduce the servers to a smouldering heap of ashes, set the hamsters ablaze and burn Kross at the stake, this fire shall consume this forum and purged in the fires of this thread shall the best of us rise like the phoenix from the ashes.
Let the fun begin.

It's really more a caricature of knee-jerk, reactionary responses to arguments made by the guy in the first panel. It's like using a racist character to highlight the ridiculousness of their racism. Borat's antisemitism is used to mock antisemitic beliefs, for example.Daaaah Whoosh said:
I think that is probably the reason for why I don't really find it funny. It should be, but it has the same level of subtlety as Family Guy. Maybe Grey finally got fed up with all of the people who always said "I don't get it." in the comments section?Father Time said:
Then again it's also possible that I am just really not in the mood for laughing right now, and would find it funny if I was feeling better.
It needs more sexism and gender equality flamebait. Maybe something about transgendered people.TopazFusion said:Oh no!
Good lawd, you've touched on so many flamebaity topics in this one, I'm wondering if people will even know where to start with this...
I'ma set up my chair and pour a beer and watch this unfold.
