I love how the Goth barista was so popular she became a recurring character

Maybe everyone should be barred from owning a business. Like, let’s end the present state of things. Just don’t make it dependent on cultural/racial categories lol
Also this comic doesn’t prescribe a stance on Chanel’s beliefs. That’s funny.
The comic does, you’re only missing the very clear subtext here because you don’t have the context for the joke.
As a fashion designer, Coco Chanel’s perspective on accessorizing is, to paraphrase, “look at yourself in the mirror before you go out and pick an accessory to take off and leave at home.”
The fact that they’re being encouraged to disregard a Nazi fashionista’s signature accessory advice and to be “extra” instead is a very clear rejection of Chanel’s beliefs.
Media literacy award goes to you.
Edit: I mean this in a mocking way, don’t take this as a concession, don’t upvote it when agreeing in serious

Do you honestly need the comic to explicitly spell out their stance and/or hold your hand through reading between the lines to figure it out yourself? I think this is more of a reading comprehension problem rather than a failure on the artist’s part, no offense.

It’s not. If I was a Nazi, I could post this comic with glee.
Yes it is. Because nazis have very little reading comprehension.
If you think that anyone who is “more” than just a conservative is stupid or at the very least badly read, then boy do I have news for you. You are underestimating how many ultra strategical 4-D chess players exist within the reactionary political scene. You are one Matrix room away from meeting them. I know this because I’ve made such acquaintances (unfortunately). You are underestimating the mental calculus needed for re-implementing systems of forced labour and expansionist militarism. I personally doubt that 99.5% percent of people could take on someone like Stephen Miller on the level of rhetoric and planning.
Sure bud.
“You can tell how smart someone is by how they play this board game”
Of course you think that, you’re twelve
Missed the point award. Never mind, I am talking to someone who would rather waste time on tabloid anti-Epsteinism than on actually comprehending anything.
tabloid anti-Epsteinism
oh so you’re a pedophile
The comic flippantly disregards Chanel’s advice re: accessories based on the premise that because she was a Nazi collaborator her opinions, and those influenced by them, can and should be ignored.
If that is too nuanced for you to be able to determine a stance then there’s no hope for you.

Mao said that I should shit when I need to. Should I now hold my shit in because Mao made crazed mistakes or was emblematic of a movement that was not exactly comfortable to those in the states and most of europe? What a stupid fucking line of reasoning.

Regard the reply to your first paragraph. I made it even more “nuanced”, bullshit appeal anyway.
Whether or not you agree with it has nothing to do with the fact that the author’s position is pretty clear.
I never said that I agreed or disagreed. How you read any disagreement or agreement into my statement is beyond me and whether or not I agree is not at all a relevant point that needs to be brought up. The author’s position is “pretty clear” because the comic is posted in liberal spaces where virtually everyone dislikes Hitler. Social context makes it obvious, but it’s not at all strictly obvious from the logic of the joke and hinges mostly on how “you look great” is interpreted. I point that out and people lose their shit because they interpret messages anywhich way they feel is comfortable and when they’re not able to categorise a statement, potentially because it is rather neutral but contains structured statements in regards to the content of the post, it just makes it seem hostile to them when it’s not in its content.
Damn. Here I was taking you seriously and you go and drop the suggestion that disliking Hitler is an uncertain foundation for discussion and social context.
Have a good one.

You not been on instagram the last year? Or to Bulgaria?
