    Here we have an anthropomorphized pig, or a woman represented as a humanoid pig, getting kidnapped and eaten. If this woman or whatever is able to be part of human society as pictured, eating her fits the moral meaning of cannibalism.

    The comic is just using the pig visual to “joke” about rape, but if you think about it a few seconds the joke is not much better, especially with the underlying tones of showing women as victims, the only difference between a human woman and a pig woman being that one is good for rape, the other as food.

    I personally can’t even understand how this can be funny.



  • Because this comic either supports shit opinions, or pretends that everyone hates big CEOs which is absurdly wrong.

    The person shown here is the one that elected a rich crap as president of the US. They love big powerful CEOs.

    Even in fiction, Iron Man’s superpower is basically to be a rich influential CEO, just wrapped in some nice bullshit to make it sound cool.

    So it confuses me because then the meaning of the comic would be to support a fascist stance (since the other possibility is unrealistic), which I don’t believe is the intent of the author.





    • Jerry going and telling the “stupid immigrant” in front of his apartment what to do with his life, and the guy obviously listens because he’s a stupid immigrant who has no clue what he’s doing with his life
    • Jokes about Kramer being assaulted by a pedo as a kid
    • Gaslighting in most of the relationships of the men
    • Main characters drugging people secretly
    • Various sexual assault jokes

    And a lot of other things that I’m too lazy to list


  • “Reflective of its time” so of a time where being offensive and discriminatory was seen as fine or even cool. The show is more offensive than the first Star Trek that was decades earlier. Being offensive has nothing to do with the time period, if people were fine with it, it doesn’t mean that it is fine and not offensive.

    And this show was mostly made of jokes targeting a minority or showing horrible behaviours as funny. Seems like enough to call it offensive.

    The term boomer refers to a mentality, not to the generation anymore.

    By the current use of the term, yes, they all are, as this use refers to people who refuse change out of irrational belief that old times were better, glorify a violent and fascist past, and deny the existence of modern science because they refuse to adapt their obsolete lifestyle.
