What is the absolute worst xkcd strip?

>>85939843
All of them

>>85939843
http://xkcd.com/980/

I hate this comic with a passion so I would say all the strips

But I would have to say the one where one of the characters is spinning to try and slow the flow of time so they can spend more time with their significant other and it's supposed to be romantic

>>85939843
not that one

>>85939843
The one where OP was let back in through the door.

>>85939843
That's the one.

>>85939843
That one strip sure triggers you all so damn much

>>85940033
My biggest problem with it is that he didn't even bother to make a joke. The entirety of the strip could have easily been a tumblr post with no comic to accompany it. There is no reason for it to exist as a comic because there is no punchline or clever element to it.

>>85939890
I was expecting that one to be posted already, but at the very least it was mentioned. I'm sure it is probably the most mocked of all xkcd strips.

The recent one about the Tubman dollar

It's so straw man it makes me physically ill

>>85940061
This is a think that bothered me about xkcd. And in general, when I got exposed to American comics. Almost none of them need pictures. The jokes are conveyed entirely in text. Why not just use text?

That strip is not without merit, but it seems a bit hypocritical, no? He's on the side of people who think media must give more exposure to under-represented groups, no?

>>85940196
>>Have literally never seen Superman II.
I did get the reference, yes.

>>85940061
That strip existed before tumblr, you dumbass. Are you that much of a stupid child?

>>85939843

Or the one with the boomerang/banana

>>85940219
Only the under-represented groups he likes. The rest of us have to to be shown the door. You don't have to be a /pol/ack to see just how self-serving and unprincipled his actual stance is.

i dont see whats wrong with this comic? if you were standing in a room having a conversation with a bunch of people, and out of nowhere someone brings up how dirty and filthy those fucking niggers are or what a cuck so and so is, odds are a lot of people in the room would get uncomfortable and 'show you the door' or whatever. they'd take the conversation away from them, they wouldn't want to talk to or spend time with them. it doesn't have to even be racial slurs or derogatory language, people just have a difference of opinion.

when people come onto this site and try to preach sjw ideals it either turns the thread into a sea of shitposting and argueing and it gets deleted, or the comment gets deleted. those kind of ideals aren't welcome here, the majority doesn't like it so people who think and talk that way are 'shown the door'. same thing with when someone goes onto tumblr and says things they know will upset the user base, then they get deleted or a bunch of users send them hate and they are 'shown the door'.

i mean if you're angry at the comic for pointing out the obvious, something that shouldn't even need to be said because it's just plain common sense, then i can get that. but ya'll get so mad the second someone tries to say 'hey if you're acting like an asshole people will treat you like one'

>>85940418
Problem is that people feel they are edged out from mainstream discussion platforms into the edges. Like, in real life you can go on the streets and yell your propaganda, but on the Internet, where all the idea exchange now is - there's no public space. And if FOX News get flack for being one-sided, why can't we criticize internet platforms for perceived ban on dissenting opinions?

Finally, it's really narrow idea of free speech coming from the liberal crowd this days. Since when are liberals such suckers for corporate rights?

The one with the beer.

>>85940168
Which one is that? The one where he rips ("rips") into the Treasury Department? All I could think is the irony in recognizing the idiocy of a bureaucratic body while also endorsing progressive social change from said bureaucratic bodies.

Or maybe more succinctly, government is only dumb and inefficient when I want it to be.

A community that pretends to be made up of idiots will sooner or later attract real idiots. For 4chan, that "sooner or later" was in 2008, after a story on Fox News brought the site to the attention of millions of right-wing basement dwellers who took /b/ for an anonymous extension of the Prison Planet and Stormfront forums.

The incredibly thoughtful comedy of Randall Munroe

>>85941151
I'm pretty liberal like a real Jew east coast cocksucking libtard but fuck any nigga who just tries to shut down ideas and opinions.

>>85941409
no shit, idiot. I'm saying that his attempt to establish this fact for the joke is done with the worst possible dialog. He can't just have a sign in the background or something, no. or even just have them flee, since that would still cover the joke. no, he has to use this awkward as fuck exposition shout to make it clear the venue of this inappropriate behavior is a goddamn TGIFriday.

It's not a great joke, but serviceable. But he has to write it in the worst way possible to make it painfully unfunny, and add layers of his creepy stalker shit to it.

>>85941524
There's an obvious difference between shutting down ideas and opinions and expressing disinterest in a given example of them.

If you have some point about Rand's economic ideas to make then make it, "hur dur ur dumb for liking a fictional novel i don't like" is not a point.

>>85941716
So where exactly is the line? Because passing the post/show/whatever by expresses disinterest. Boycotting or banning them seems to be more shutting down ideas. Though shutting down someone else's ideas may very well be within their rights.

>>85941836

Censorship, which only the government can do. Boycotting and banning from Internet communities (which are not public spaces, but private establishments) do not censor a person's freedom of speech: the person is still at liberty to express their opinion, and others are still at liberty to pay the person no mind if they're so inclined.

>>85942066
Degree of unironicality on 4chan is wonky.

I think it's a bit different to shitpost anonymously in shitposting thread, and shitpost while signing it with my name.
Also, that's a really lame shitposts, if you could pin this kind of shitposting on me, you'd be within your rights to think I'm a shitty shitposter.

In any meaningful sense, yes. If a media outlet won't publish your news story, say, or will only publish part of it, you're free to take the story elsewhere. Only the state can censor the story altogether.

Looking back, realizing that Randall was a functional adult person when he made XKCD is kind of troublesome. It's like when you remember that Linkin Park was like 40.

How does a real adult person indulge in this kind of detestable autofellation so openly and with so much pride?

because the situations he writes and illustrates are relatable to a lot of people. theyre either young and its one of their first times seeing and contemplating topics like the ones he broaches, or theyre stunted adults circlejerking. either way, there's money to be made off of them. that and attention/validation

It's bad PR, which has everything to do with his job, especially since he works for a company whose users skew younger and tech-savvy (i.e. far more liberal regarding gay rights).

He should have donated anonymously.

Let's skip the bit where you say that /pol/ is just a bunch of memers kidding around. While this is largely true, we're both aware that a core of legitimate racists does exist.

"Meaningful" doesn't mean anything.
There have been cases of non-government agencies effectively censoring content of a whole medium.
Besides just because "they can take their business elsewhere" doesn't make boycotting content off the shelves the right thing to do.

>>85942739
I guess the only real difference is that he's popular and we're not

>>85942748
>One is supporting a piece of legislation, the other is petty harrassment.
The piece of legislation itself amounted to little more than petty harassment, it had no real justification behind it and all it accomplished is messing up people's lives.

>>85942759
Oh, so he was being shunned by others and just accepted it instead of changing his beliefs. Great job

>>85942757
You miss my point.
/pol/ didn't attract the white supremacists. They were always here. If you didn't have /pol/ to blame you'd blame the lack of /new/ for them not having a containment board.

>>85942407
Yeah, I think people should be able to be fired for their beliefs
I don't see how that's a problem at all honestly

>>85942539
The cause was ruining other people's lives

>>85942407
Seems to be the going trend on the internet nowadays. Find someone who says something you don't like, get a posse together, convince their employer to fire them.

>>85942791
Yeah. That is pretty great. That's called conviction.

>>85942795

Of course they were always here. That doesn't change the fact that the existence of /new/ and /pol/ as massively active concentrations of racially charged thought makes this site more attractive to people of that persuasion.

>>85942795
True, it's edgy to hate fags and niggers now.

>>85942562
That's exactly what's going to happen. For example, you see a lot of people supporting Trump simply out of spite for the left and their bullshit. Just a couple of years ago someone like him would have been laughed out, not become a presidential nominee

>>85942766
I guess it would be if I fired the man out of nowhere.

But no, he was supporting a terrible piece of legislation that kicked people out of their marriages for no real reason.

Humor me for a minute.

Consider the following:

>Accordingly, "centre" or "moderate" politics 50 or 100 years ago would be unthinkably right-wing today
>Therefore, people who think of themselves as "centre" or "moderate" in politics today and more left-wing than they imagine.

What do you think of this?

>>85942935
>When Reddit starts copying 4chan's white nationalism you know shit's getting out of hand.
Reddit has always been a mixed bag, you just had to look for it. It was always there. It's just that the Refugee Crisis and extreme social justice has made conservetism the cool new thing. Being rightwing is now how you rebel.

That being said Reddit is still hardly white supremacist like say /pol/ is. Wanting sane immigration policy doesn't make you goddamn racist.

Part of the CEO's job is not embroiling his company in a PR firestorm due to his private life.

He didn't "embroil" it in anything, it was the fag mafia who threw a hissyfit over it. The core point here is that it's an all-around shit practice, and it's becoming more and more common in the lower rungs of the corporate ladder as well.

Sure Eich can deal with it, but could you? Jobs are scarce as it is, and most people can't afford to become unemployed and unemployable.

If there's a cultural shift, it could easily become so that gay and pro-gay people will get the short end of the stick. And you made it happen by doing nothing about the practice while the odds are in your favor.

>>85943333
There are certain things that you should be definitely allowed to be fired (or publicly executed) for because they contribute to the destruction to society. Examples would be donating money to anti-vaccine or pro-Creationist teaching organizations

See, here people will just call you out on your shit and the "problematic" element is still present, but since the main objective is to call people out on their shit, those people get called out too if whatever they say isn't factual, this is what we call "banter".

The tumblr/facebook hivemind response isn't to think critically and let their reasoning sell itself, but to slander the offender's character in order to discredit them instead of arguing with the person one-on-one. They expect that if enough other people will agree with them, that is what will make them in the right.

>>85943748
if your opinion is popular than it won't be called out

>>85943704
Why should they? Isn't it essentially the same thing? Free Speech isn't a simple back and forth it's an endurance contest. It's stubbornly saying fuck you I'm right until the other defers. So if you get called out for your faggotry, you just call them on their faggotry and goes on like that until the other side just doesn't have the will to go on. That's free speech.

>>85943633

Conflating backlash over support of a blatantly discriminatory law with backlash over *anything* reeks of the panicked right-wing hyperbole all too common these days.

I completely agree that society is far too prone to explosive overreactions nowadays, but much like Michael Brown was a poorly chosen battle for BLM, Brendan Eich is a poorly chosen battle for arguments over the freedom of expression in our society. Fact is that Prop 8 was a shitty, discriminatory law whereby Eich hoped to negatively impact the lives of thousands of people, and a backlash was fully warranted.

If you want to elevate a martyr, pick somebody better, like that NASA scientist who was crucified for wearing a suggestive shirt.

It may have been. Your parents have probably oppressed you in some way.

On the other hand, you are not the only existing individual. If you believe that people have a moral obligation to help each other, then you should also care that other people are being oppressed even if you specifically aren't (even though you almost definitely are)
>>85944579
Yes, but people on the right would disagree that that model can then be applied to other injustices or tragedies. To a leftist, allowing that person to be killed (we'll say it's a murderer now just because) is small potatoes to doing nothing about the thousands of children that are starving in this country every year.
Everyone agrees that you have the moral obligation to stop what you're doing and devote some time and energy to saving that single person, but not everyone believes we should pay taxes to save lives on a larger scale

You never even mentioned America in the first place, you fuckwad.

It's time to put the bottle down, Ivan.

you're full of shit stick-jew

>>85944727
You're just too dumb to get it.

>>85944730
Your attempts to broadly define all people on the left thinking this way and all people on the right thinking that way is actually pretty funny.
Endearing, to say the least.

It might not be operated from 4chan anymore but it started with us and we actively support their faggotry.

>>85944795
I'm defining right and left basically along the lines of whether they agree with income taxation, imo it's as valid as anything

>>85944823
Really though, who gives a fuck about those things besides high schoolers?

Oh, what unprecendented malevolence...

Call me when we bully a teenage girl into committing suicide just because she drew a "body-positive" character from a cartoon thin.

>>85944777

the mention of god wasn't even in the original pledge
if anything that could be interpreted as christains taking over america

>>85944843
Look up "From Mises to Carlyle". Get some perspective.

>inb4 "that was just that one really crazy bitch who started a witch hunt that no one else who participated in is actually complicit"

>>85944843
that's a hilariously fragile way to define left vs right

>>85944906
Certainly not what I'd call discrimination though, if it is to remain.

>>85944879

She never committed suicide. If you really cared about her instead of using her as fuel for arguments on the internet you'd know that.

>places of worship still get tax exemption
This is complete fucking bullshit and why cities become choked with churches and other places of worship

>>85944952
And that mitigates because...?

>>85941008
that's a privilege, not a right anon. we're insanely lucky this Indonesian freestyle skiing board hasn't been taken down or sued into the dark ages, and we're definitely an outlier

My post is literally agreeing with you that Christians are not discriminated against. Read an actual book sometime.

how subtle and original

The charts (and his early sketches) are the most interesting part of the strip. He always ruins his jokes with awful or preachy dialogue.

>>85945472
how the fuck did you get that from that post. the only thing you can establis from that post is that I'm happy that there aren't nazi posts on this thread.

>Not wanting to keep Andrew "Shut Down The Banks" Jackson on the $20

If they hate him so much, you'd think they'd appreciate the poetic irony.

>>85940761
This one's not even that bad. Sure, it's overly sweet but it's just trying to be cute and at least it's not preachy or esoteric.

>>85940887
Either, although I'm not sure how effective spinning in place would be far away from Earth's axis.

>>85942255
This is why moral relativism is a poor way of determining policy.
