[–] FlickOfTheBean@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) It doesn't appear to contain political content (at least to me, how is this political to you though?) I am not the arbiter of what is political or not though, I'm just also curious as to why this isn't in c/memes, but it deserves the upvotes imo permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world [S] 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Nations and states are inherently political bodies. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlickOfTheBean@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Ahh you're going based on what seems to be a textbook definition rather than the vibe definition. Typically there's a certain vibe to political cartoons, and I think the original commenter and I are just used to that vibe to tell whether a cartoon is "actually" political. This cartoon is missing that vibe by a lot. It seems to be a gta meme more than a political meme, vibes wise. That said, you're not wrong by your own definition, and that makes enough sense for me! Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world [S] 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I understand the vibes feel, and think you’re right. I just tire of incisive, antagonistic political memes. GTA is relevant and I thought it was fun. I get it though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlickOfTheBean@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I get that, nothing wrong with that! Tbh I was wondering if that may have been the case and it was seeming to get pretty fight-y in tone, so I figured I'd get my own clarification in case other users want to also understand without getting into a fight Sometimes it's nice to have a break from all the hardcore political stuff, and the upvote rate on this post pretty much proves that point lol as far as the user base cares, you did good! permalink fedilink source parent
