I agree with the point itself but a.) tact is not a bad thing b.) fuck the author of this comic for his other trash content
Im just surpised he could draw a woman that isn't painfully overly sexualized or cartoonishly ugly. I neber seen him draw the middleground
BattloidKouji
That's what happens when you don't see women as people.
GeorgeNotTheLivestock
What happened with his other content?
realskramz
his comics are generally strawmen against feminists or some weird fantasy about a guy that lives with two always half naked girls together
Which is not bad in concept, but god is it just fucking awful and painful to read because no character has amything good to them

If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't deserve to laugh at others. What goes around comes around. Taking offense is the death of comedy.
If you have a problem with what I just said, then you should never find anything funny ever again.

they've been saying that for hundreds of years bro
Sheepyhead
There's a point of tact by not making rape jokes to the face of someone you know is struggling with being a rape victim.
That wasn't what I meant but where do you draw the line? Someone who is homeless might be offended at a knock-knock joke.
eggsalad
Quite the fast slide you're slipping down.
fantasticlight
If your argument relies on absurd examples then perhaps it isn't a very good one.
MrSwaggerMcJaeger
Not even close, knock knock jokes are established already. But pulling rape jokes to someone who is traumatized or yo moma jokes to 1/2
To someone whos mom has died is very different.
It's a whole different thing with a comedian though, because they speak out in a public forum. If you're offended, you should leave.
This comic depicts her laughing at other people's expense and then getting offended when the same is done to her. She's a hypocrite.
I'm aware, however don't expect everyone to be able to laugh about everything about themselves.
fnhngest
we draw the line for literally everything in our lives. no right comes with no line drawn. shrug.

The character Valentine Michael Smith explains that humor is how we deal with pain. This is why people are easily offended by humor, (1/2)
the line establishing what pain can be expressed thru humor is in a different place for different people. (2/2)

This is true, but I feel a little uncomfortable that it's obviously a female that is the focus here. All genders do this.

Thing is You take the gender into account. Why are You doing that? Just because a female is pictured means not it's only valid for them.
spookyactionatadistance
You're proving the point.

Some people just can't laugh at themselves. My boss can't take a joke AT ALL (but not because of any sort of gender thing, he's just a cunt)
You know in any other circumstance id agree with everyone else here but considering this artist you have a point.

BorisTheWizard
I remember buzzfeed did a video where they asked 3-4 people at what point they thought humor goes from funny to being offensive. (1)
Basically everybody answered with something like"I love offensive comedians like Bill Burr, but you have to draw a line somewhere" (2)
Then they proceeded to say that the line was where they personally became offended.
Bill Burr is great though.
Love his bit on Hitler vs Stalin.

That's why the great comedians generally punch up. Punching down is generally unfunny and awkward.

This is also why conservative comedy shows don't really work most the time. When you're making fun of the poor and needy, you're an ass.

Ignorant person here: "conservative + comedy" isn't something I usually see together. You mean something like "Last Man Standing"?
Like that or Half Hour News Hour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXTwYBWUuZk
Funny considering hyper liberal humor is the exact same way. When ideology rules they lose. That said many comedians punch down successfully
vneoaivin
Also because ideology ends up more important than being funny. You can have comedians who are conservative, but not "conservative comedy"
packardcaribien
And yet most comedians have based entire routines on insulting Trump?
Yeah and they are not funny. See the connection
Fair. But they remain popular, somehow? I have trouble thinking of more than a handful of apolitical comedians.
spudpicker
To be fair, Trump pretty much writes their material for them.
Unless its towards themselves, friends, neighbors, and random assholes.
Is that punching sideways?
Nah, definitely down.
Explain punching up/down? Given the context I don't quite get it
RedDwarfIV
It's the cultural Marxist's guide to comedy
Mirawatts
It refers to social status. If you're a homeless comedian, you can joke about poverty. If you're middle class or up, you get attacked for it
If you're a homeless comedian, obviously no one is laughing at your jokes. Every comedian I can think of shat on the lower class sometimes
Making fun of those more powerful / influential, rather than kicking people who are already down, like the homeless or rape victim's, etc.
Punching down is like making fun of people who are already facing a hard time so it can come of as bullying
kiratosan
Making jokes about someone of higher or lower class than you.
Ah, is that a cultural taboo? Because depending on the phrasing/context, punching low in the US is not uncommon at all
I don't know about taboo but even if it's not uncommon, that doesn't mean it's not a douche move. imo
