Given that the rest of the stick figures are pretty gender-neutral and there's nothing else that could be considered "feminine" about this one, I would assume the latter. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Red_Scare@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 day ago* (8 children) The one saying "yes please" to "first they came for communists" while claiming to be a real socialist? It's the only one that might look like eyeliner although I thought it's just a smug expression. How is cheering on Nazis coming for communists not on the same level of shittiness as the rest? Also how is dunking on that puritanical or misogynistic?

There's nothing sexual about it. There's nothing misogynistic about it. It is a caricature of an anti-communist "socialist". They are celebrating anti-communism from the Left.

I guess I am that stupid that I missed something not that subtle. You didn't add anything to the discussion that wasn't already said but thanks for driving the point home. Great discussion. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FlankerFanatic@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 day ago No, they are using the trope of modern communists being horny-brained and only capable of thinking about sex while making everything sexual. The sign is a double entendre of the person being horny for someone “coming” to/for them Wait, I thought it was supposed to be misogynistic? I thought that was a bit of a stretch but you can't be serious - I don't understand how you could draw the conclusion that the figure is portrayed as being "horny". You're reading into depth that this MS Paint stick figure cartoon simply does not have. permalink fedilink source parent
