  • PizzaCake, the artist behind this comic, made another comic a few years back, satirising a bunch of things men say to women to handwave away bad behaviour (think "not all men" kind of stuff). What she didn't notice was that with her satirisation, she also dismissed genuine issues that society also tends to dismiss relating to mens mental health.

    The mods of r/comics went a bit overboard with the moderation (to be fair, an overwhelming amount of moderated comments have been just pure toxic masculinity, but a bunch of people who said that both toxic masculinity AND the intentional downplay of men's issues are a problem, got caught in the crossfire).

    PizzaCake herself had some... less than savoury reactions, all in all it turned into a shitshow that the chuds blew out of proportion, the mods who stepped in were overbearing and obviously prejudiced, and the overall reactions just... weren't nice. this should've been something that triggers respectful discussion, and both sides were unable to do exactly that.

    Later on, the manosphere launched what was essentially a mini gamergate against PizzaCake and bam, now we have a bunch of videos and Reddit posts calling her "pathetic" and other select names, while the people posting said content aren't better by any measure...

  • "well now that the plebs demand it, we must have a show around how we're going to punish Andy, but of course not too much, poor brother barely survived his Prince title being stripped"

  • I guess this person too got dragged into the PizzaCake "controversy" and decided to side with the butthurt misogynistic side who then went on to spread lies about the artist...

  • I'm buying stocks of Guillotine Inc. like, yesterday.

  • Now now, come on, there's at least about 3000 of those fuckers, let's not let some of the greedy cunts get away with it!

  • Russia still turret toss world champignon, number one!

  • Dibs on being the middle one. Eating ass AND having my ass eaten? Don't threaten me with a good time!

  • Aww, widdle baby snowflake is cosplaying as badass military now? Or at least trying to...

  • No, Harry, yer an alcoholic

  • Technically, any chemically induced change of state of mind that doesn't require a third party to supervise, can be considered self medication.

    Morning coffee? Self medication. Going for a jog to feel better? Self medication. Getting blackout drunk on your own? Self medication. Midnight wank when you can't sleep? Self medication.

    You know what's NOT self medication? Taking shrooms or LSD or any other hallucinogenics with a trip sitter.

  • Merde!

  • Maybe if I lick the boot hard enough, it won't be on my own neck? Just maybe, just this one time?

  • Fallout has always been a commentary about how unregulated capitalism is the ruin of everything. From the very first game.

    • Vault-Tec fleeced its customers and double dipped, selling already filled vaults to other corporations to run experiments in them
    • WestTek knowingly delivered faulty power armors to the US military, knowing full well that it would result in the deaths of US soldiers in a war which could end the existence of West-Tek itself, but they didn't care, short term profits trumped long term existence.
    • Nuka-Cola literally contained isotopes of radioactive elements as a selling point... not to mention the excessive amount of sugar and caffeine (120% of daily recommended sugar intake per bottle)
    • may I remind everyone about the FEV? A literal miracle cure for all viral (bioweapon) infection, but that wasn't enough, capitalists had to go further and think "but what if we used to mutate the entire population?"
  • Decades of GTA prepared millions of people to this exact moment.

  • So... it's Hitler's penis?

  • You don't need AI to flag emails based on keywords... let's not make everything about AI please.

  • Biometrics are an issue because in most jurisdictions (not just the US but globally), you can't be coerced to provide your password/passcode - but absolutely nothing stops LE from forcing you to provide biometric data to unlock the device.

  • How mind-numbingly idiotic the DHS can be?

    Man sends email to DHS.

    Agents later show up, show him the email he sent, and demand he present "his side of the story".

    My dudes in idiocracy, WHAT THE ACTUAL LIVING FUCK DO YOU THINK THAT EMAIL WAS?

    Let me help you out: that was "his side of the story".

    Oh, wait a moment. They didn't show up to gather more information - because that's idiotic - but to threaten him with their mere presence, and deter any further emails...

  • You might just get nerve pinched.

  • Haunting the Hunter is actually quite unique, as instead of the usual 2 character setup, there's 4 - and one of them is the reader.

    Also fair warning it's super easy to get into these books and keep listening to them... But it can be extremely awkward when you're e.g. sitting on public transport and a very explicit, very detailed scene comes on.
