AsimButtHitsASix Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Isn't the point of a caricature to look like the person? The Mick Jagger image someone posted above is clearly Mick Jagger. I do not require his to be holding a microphone or to be on stage or shoving a Mars Bar up someone's chuff to realise it's Mick Jagger. If that image of Serena wasn't jumping on a tennis racket would you be able to say "yup. That's Serena Williams?" I'd doubt it. It's more just a bunch of lazy blackface style caricatures put onto a body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Share with us your 'Progressive' dictates so those kafir/reactionary cartoonists can receive the required Re-education! #tothegulags -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 You seem upset. Triggered much snowflake? Ok, for a start, how about a cartoon that looks like the individual involved rather than just racist tropes of black people? Once that's sorted yer jammin' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once that's sorted yer jammin' EXACTLY, I still have no idea which umpire that is in the cartoon! We're merely looking for clear and strong leadership on this pressing cartooning issue, Dear Leader. Please share examples of acceptable cartoons of black people for Reeducation purposes! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 You really are a slevvering idiot aren't you? The umpire is not the aim of the cartoon. It's Serena. Both the umpire and the opposition player are just background characters in the cartoon. I assume you have figured this out and are being purposefully belligerent and obtuse. Either that or you are a total melt. And, for some reason, you seem very upset that someone disagrees with you. Resorting to weird Stalinist language to discredit anyone with an opinion that differs from your own, ironically, makes you look more like the totalitarian fool than anyone you're directing your nonsense toward. I suggest you go take a deep breath and smell the flowers or something. Clearly the idea of people pointing out potential racism looks like it might give you an embolism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cartoonist Reeducation camps are ready for populating, please forward those examples as soon as possible so we can commence raids on the homes and museums! -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven new Problematic cartoons have been drawn since my first request for examples! Cities are about to burn down! Perhaps a drawing by your own hand can revive morale and save this precarious situation? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only context needed was the knowledge that Williams made a c**t of herself, zero background was required to know who that was, anyone that thinks otherwise is kidding themselves on for some strange reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 That's the point. Redrawing some old racist tropes, intentionally or not, and throwing it on a tennis court makes it obvious who it was within context given the news of the day. You're kinda agreeing with me here that it was the context of the caricature that identified her and not the caricature itself which is, clearly, just racist drawing of a black woman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm saying that anyone knowing what went on would have known, I'd have known regardless as I don't know any other celebrity that I could have mistaken that for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 The cartoon isnt racist IMO Absolutely no way. Despite that, banana is a fanny of the highest order and as a decent poster, AsimButtHitsASix should heed that and argue these points with sensible people who arent fannies of the highest order. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
