hey, so a warning to anyone perusing the ow tags (i found it in lucio’s tag) there’s a comic by some guy named jerkdouglas where he takes the “dad 76/mama mercy” thing and turns it into ABUSIVE PARENTS FOR LOLS!!! so just block his url to avoid that shittiniess. stay safe, my friends
While I understand your concern with people being triggered by the comic it wasn’t made with bad intentions it’s just really dark humour.
Ok yeah really dark humour
using abuse as a fucking punchline isn’t humor, dickface. regardless of the op’s “intentions” people who are being or have been abused deserve to not have to see this shit what the fuck is wrong with you.
Ok yeah I understand that abuse isn’t funny and shouldn’t be used as a punchline but it was obviously made as a joke and while it may have offended people my point still stands he didn’t make it to offend people he made it to garner a laugh so I personally don’t thing that crucifying him will solve anything.
Not that I’m saying you in particular were crucifying him because your post was directed towards the content not the author so I respect you for that because people make mistakes and you obviously understand that.
Regarding your tags however I’m a little confused how is the comic racist, the only thing I see in the comic that could be remotely construed as racism is the line about Bob Marley and in all fairness Lucio is also a South American with dreads who makes music, with a green colour scheme so there are a tonne of parallels that can be drawn there. Making it, in my honest opinion a lot less about race than I think you think it is.
HE MADE IT TO “GARNER A LAUGH” BY USING DOMESTIC ABUSE AS THE PUNCHLINE. HOW IS THAT AN ACCIDENT?
I don’t think you get what people are saying here. Abuse is not a joke. Making it a joke for a fucking punchline is disrespectful and fucking hurtful. It enforces the idea that this sort of domestic violence is normal and acceptable and it’s fucking shitty.
And the racism, yes, does lie in the fact that a white man snatches a black man up by his dreads and demands he cut his hair because “Bob Marley isn’t hiring” and that doesn’t strike you as racially driven?
Please just stop because you are only digging the hole deeper. This did not concern you in any way, but you felt the need to jump in with your shitty abuse apologia when I was just trying to warn abuse survivors like myself against something that could ACTIVELY HARM THEM AND THEIR MENTAL HEALTH.
And if you look on his page and see the notes, you’ll see people congratulating him, defending him, calling those that complain “whiny faggots” and clapping him on the back for his shitty comic.
You do not get to decide what is and is not morally okay when it comes to someone’s trauma. You do not get to police how they react to it. You need to sit the fuck down and shut up, because I have every right to be angry, and to at the very least protect myself and others like me from this kind of harmful content by warning them away.
“okay yeah, abuse isn’t a funny joke but it was a funny joke!”
do you even hear yourself ??????
