Do you reject with equal vehemence the rhetoric advocating for violence in the comic in the last panel?

Burn it all to the mother-fucking ground!

What do you think she is suggesting we burn? Hint: it’s not men.

[–] bitcrafter@programming.dev -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So it's okay for her to advocate violence so long as it isn't specific to men?

What’s the difference between this and the “kill it with fire” meme that’s been floating around for years? Have we really reached such a low point in public literacy that the use of hyperbole in a comic strip requires a disclaimer?

[–] bitcrafter@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

Exactly. While I get that it's not exactly the same, it seems roughly as weird to make a big deal of accusing @nandeEbisu of being misogynistic as it would be to accuse the comic artist of being violent.
