>>124051564>>124051529It's not THAT funny but it's true.
Satire is about punching up at authority and stupidty, but you can still prod down, albeit gently like this, at people without authority being stupid.
What is funny is that you'll have
1. BLM supporters say it's racist to black people - quite a few of them white, too.
2. AND white racists saying it's racist to white people because they think it's all done by blacks.
Nobody stops to notice that their criticisms are probably invalid because they're accusing him of being part of the other side, and yet the other side are having a ggo at him too.
Nobody can claim him for their group or cause, which is nice because it shows he's an independent thinker wo can attack stupidity without bias, and he's keeping his political opinions out of it too (through Pig he is making an observation, not a political opinion).
He left the black people out because he wanted to make a point that he hoped white people would listen to about being stupid. Not the same as anti white racism, because he didn't say black people don't riot. It still applies to them. He wanted to make it so the more naive elements and hangers on in BLM would find it harder to accuse him of racism by twisting his message.
But you can still put black people in there too.
Oh wait, he has, one down the bottom in panel 2.
So he was and is a good satirist. Just, with all the anti-sexism stuff, he wasn't very good at making his points - a lot of them valid - in a way we as the reader can find funny.
