No complaints about the comic here, but if I/we may go off on a tangent about the subject matter:

To what extent is "destroy the patriarchy" a red herring to get people angry at "men" rather than "sociopathic billionaires of all genders?"

Sexism is still a thing, of course, just like racism and all kinds of other awful shit. But those awful parts of our nature are often stoked by those in control to keep the attention off of them. "No war but class war," as the Lemmings say.

In my little corner of the world, when I see memes about crushing/destroying the patriarchy, it's usually in the social context of a sticker on suburban moms' Stanley cups, or t-shirts, or even occasionally SUVs. They (mostly) hate Trump, sure, but they have no problem with J. K. Rowling or Kamala Harris.

It is just as it is the major problem in a lot of countries and their societies.

However, being a gal doesn't make one perfect either. Thatcher and Elizabeth destroyed womens rights, workers rights, and protected pedophiles in their ruling tenure.

It is not a red hearing at all unless it is used to displace another message. So if you were talking about class warfare and your message was drowned out or disrupted by a message of destroy the patriarchy then you could say it is a red hearing.

Sexism isn't just a thing, it is "the" thing to be honest. For example, the leader of the KKK commented over a decade ago that he would rather vote for a black man (Obama) than a white woman (Hillary). Let that sink in, one of the most racist people is still more sexist than racist.

You bring up the fact that people in control use sexism to manipulate people. For sure they do just like they use racism. The crazy part is they might not even be racist or sexist themselves but they know it resonates with people so they will use it for their propaganda.

I think you make a great point about a disconnect that those who are against the patriarchy may have with class issues. On the other hand you could also tie the patriarchy to issue like transgender rights through rigid enforcement of gender roles and fueling genocide with hierarchical structures.

That's my theory for why trump won the last election.

Because that’s largely class reductionism.

Fighting class is one of the most important battles, but it is not the only one in the war on hierarchy.

Mr. Boopy has my full support. I trust this fluffy little revolutionary with the entire agenda 😂

It's hilariously sad to me that some people feel the need to let everyone know they dislike this particular comic.

News flash: NOBODY CARES IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS, PLENTY OF OTHERS DO!

So keep whining about how much you think a particular artist sucks, nobody is listening.

[-] TheMuffinMan@piefed.world 30 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

I don't have any stance on this comic or this artist (never seen them before), but comment sections are kind of exactly for opinions to be shared.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 17 points 10 hours ago

There's discussion, then there's just repeatedly showing up to things you don't like just to tell people how much you don't like them. Technically still "just an opinion" but honestly no one wants to hear it after the second time.

What's the goal there? Win Best Hater award? Have everyone pander to you and stop posting? Bah, away with that nonsense.

Counterpoint, you can have a multi dimensional opinion instead of blind love or hate.

Some of her stuff is funny but imo there is a lot of cringe too
