So many people get so overly upset about Everette's violent tendancies, missing the point that it's art, and it's basically a collective vent piece. Everette says and does the things so many people have fantasized about to cope with obnoxious and rude people.

It's art. Just enjoy the catharsis.

I've always taken it in the spirit of the Three Stooges and circus slapstick. But I get people not enjoying it.

  1. It's a comic strip, not real life
  2. Never insult a man's fishing abilities.

I think society back then had way different norms around violence. They used to hit kids for misbehaving.

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 10 points 8 months ago

Yeah and just 50 years prior you could still challenge a man to a duel to the death just for insulting your hat.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Back then? Hell just had a co worker tell me she beat her kids if they get out of line.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

It's much much more rare. At least in the west.

@Gradually_Adjusting @Fredselfish Different norms around *comedy* violence. Actual Everett True level violence would get you jailed then or now!

This guy is why we have to remind people there are no dumb questions.
