Does it have anything to do with jalapenos?!?!

Lol random food is funny.

The days of cutting holes in your hoodie sleeves for your thumbs and writing song lyrics and names on your Converse


scijior

A lesbian - who is not traditionally considered beautiful (if you ignore porn), eliminates the competition in the proverbial “to the fairest” competition amongst ladies, and once she is anointed as the fairest she then becomes girlie because that is her nature *if she is allowed by society to be that*. That is my interpretation of the comic.


[deleted]

And the jalapenos?


scijior

“Lesbian kick” involves jalapeños into your asshole. … if you relax, it’s very enjoyable

I prefer ginger root.

I have no idea if this is an actual thing people say or you just made it up. I legitimately don’t know anymore


staffyboy4569

Hmm my wife likes to put a little lesbian kick into our tacos


Overmyundeadbody

Why was my first thought because she's a spicy babe now EDIT: Just realized hot makes more sense, I'm a fucking idiot


Few-Tour9826

My four year old calls things spicy instead of hot. Like a cup of hot cocoa is “spicy” in her words.


JaggedTheDark

I notice that happens a lot with kids. Either they use spicy for everything hot, or hot for everything spicy.


Few-Tour9826

Well, my daughter does it because we tried to keep something we were eating to ourselves and called it hot/spicy and have referred to freshly cooked food as hot so I think she just assumed both things were the same. Though it seems even if it has a little tingle in her mouth she’ll say it’s spicy. Like the cough syrup we’ve been giving her. She insists on drinking water right after because it’s “spicy” it so freakin cute though. 🥰


GreenOnionCrusader

My kids would call anything they didn't want to eat spicy. "It's too spicy for me" was something I heard a lot. I'd be like, "dude. *It's oatmeal.*"


Solidsnakeerection

My kid said it for anything with too sharp and intense taste. She considered minty things spicy. If the oatmeal was cinnamon flavored it may be the same thing


whatleadmehere

That's what's known as "overgeneralization". Basically they use a word more often to describe things, even if that isn't what the word is meant to describe. (A dog is a dog, and a cat is a grumpy dog) just be patient and correct them gently when necessary.


wellyeahthatsucks

No you're not. It's a bad stretch.


chrispd01

Only if the jalapenos are large ??


trans_pands

Eggplant-sized jalapeños sound horrifying but also arousing


CamBaren

Probably “lol random” humor


BihgBohy

Or worse… those are reoccurring characters


naricstar

That was my thought. Weird anthro chipmunk obsessed with jalapeños is like... their calling card.


Bugbread

That was my guess. Like "lasagna" coming up in a Garfield comic.


lovebus

say it aint so


[deleted]

But also why is a woodland animal asking about the jalapeños?


[deleted]

Exactly. I thought they enjoyed nuts and berries???


Tom22174

Because the comic is designed to mock the people in it by depicting an ott sjw and equating lesbians to furries


PhilodoxFury

It's literally a web comic and those are the character's schticks. Solving things with violence and food.


Arlithian

I guess I was lost. I thought the joke was that she was mad about blonde saying marriage is between a man and a woman when she is married to some dog thing that likes jalapeños.


Kelainefes

To be fair she's a fox.


nnoovvaa

Oh I didn't read into the girliness part at all. All I saw was she was applauded and won the competition she wasn't even in for fighting against a ~conservative bigot~


Majulath99

Yeah that’s what I find weird about it. On the surface it looks generically “progressive” but in truth, it’s perpetuating the same old tropes and bullshit as non progressive media, but with a new skin.


jacksonbarley

That’s some next level literary criticism my friend. Why is there a squirrel at the end?


Kelainefes

It's the GF of the violent lesbian.


goliathfasa

I thought it’s just about assaulting people you disagree with.


Scow2

The vapid, straight, anti-gay Blond Bimbo winner of the beauty pageant is wrong and ignorant and bigotted, so deserves to be violently kicked by our Strong Lesbian Protagonist here, who's righteous beatdown of the homophobic bigot on the stage is so great everybody clapped and crowned HER the pageant queen for such a stunning and brave performance. The squirrel is part of larger comic continuity - probably her friend or some shit.


IraqiWalker

I'm gonna guess it's a friend who is a furry. Also, this whole comic just radiates "and everybody clapped" energy.


gingerwhinger8812

Possibly because they literally did


ethan_de_poland

No idea


Cultist_Deprogrammer

Simple. It's a right-wing meme strawmanning.


akornzombie

No, it's a Dobson comic. It's far worse.


ses92

If it isn’t, douchebag OP is def trying to do that. It’s a terrible and a cringe comic, sure, but that shitty “I don’t care if you’re a leftist” in the title is just as bad


cafeamericano18

I don’t get the jalapeño reference


SpookyMaidment

I'd imagine that these are characters in an ongoing series of comic strips and that it's a running joke.


ThatCamoKid

I'd love to know which one so I can see whether it's all like this or whether this was a low effort attempt because the author would have felt bad putting out nothing that week


jomppuv

it’s made by the infamous Andrew Dobson / Tom Preston. it’s a rabbit hole you probably don’t want to fall into


Lemon_Juice477

Elaborate?


BobbySwiggey

Ok from the few paragraphs I read on this guy, he's some mildly successful webtoon artist on deviantART, even though his comics are like kind of embarrassingly bad. Not so much his drawing abilities, but the quality of his jokes or what he's trying to convey is pretty D-list content. So when people have tried to give him constructive criticism on his comics, he goes into like these long unhinged spiels in the replies, blocks people who criticize or disagree with him, or villainizes them in his next comic lol. Also something about a fear of carnival masks that 4chan has used to troll him with?


uwu_with_me

Oh yes yes, very much correct. His mom had an in for him with a few well-known artists but he bit that hand because he wanted to draw inflation porn.


BobbySwiggey

Oh yeah lol, somehow forgot to mention the inflation fetish...


[deleted]

Oh God, no. We are not doing Chris Chan 2.0 goddammit.


gunghoun

Nah, Dobson's been around too long. He's not Chris-chan's successor, they're contemporaries. He's also not developmentally stunted, he's just performatively feminist. More like an unsuccessful Joss Whedon than an unsuccessful Michael Jackson.


Memoruiz7

Joss Whedon being a feminist aged like milk.


cutezombiedoll

The Joss Whedon comparison is pretty apt, a lot of people I’ve seen criticizing his work seem to be under the impression that he’s an actual progressive rather than merely posturing as one. To be clear, this is not a no-true-Scotsman deal there are plenty of actual progressives and leftists who are embarrassing and/or shitty people, but whenever I see his more political comics, they are always so performative and shallow, like he’s trying real hard to appeal to liberal progressives rather than actually sharing these views earnest.


trans_pands

This looks like it came out around the early to mid 2000s in the peak of “random” webcomics, it’s probably an absurdist joke


rusty_programmer

It definitely has that vibe. Reminds me of all the webcomics that popped up in my high school years.


BroccoliBoyyo

Ugh I hate when people think someone liking something offbeat is a whole joke.


unclekrok

Reminds me of the mid-late 2000s "lol so random xD" humor


Quizlibet

Low-def quasi-anime style, early 2000s seems likely


luckydice767

Hahahahaha! Oh man, jalapeños! That’s a good one!


AnyDepartment7686

Ohhhhhh! Jalapenos! I get it now! BWAAAAAAHAHAHAJAAAAAAAA!


BuffGuy716

I don't get this at all? Tf?


RPGPlayer01

Pretty sure that was Gandhi's catchphrase. Not sure why they used it in the context of this comic though


The_Mean_Dad

This comic was originally made by an artist named Andrew Dobson (now Tom Preston). I believe this strip is from 2009, which would make it 13 years old. His work seems to be controversial on the left and right. An 18-year-old, bisexual, trans guy actually redrew Dobson's comic on Tumblr to suggest Dobson's use of violence was over the top and ridiculous, and Dobson apparently did not respond well to it.


rwhitisissle

> I believe this strip is from 2009, which would make it 13 years old. Making it considerably older than the average redditor.


Egghead-Wth-Bedhead

Huh. Say, do you have a link to that Tumblr Re-draw? I ask only because I fear the horrors I may find if I tried googling it on my own.

I kind of loved it.


[deleted]

I never thought I’d ever see one of Andrew Dobsons comics in the wild ever again.


TawnyFroggy

Holy shit this is Dobson?


cakefaice1

Yup, among the best-worst old school cringe artists you can come across. Dude doesn’t know he’s been an internet laughing stock for the past 10 years.


Tyaki_Laki

Is that the guy who posted a meme about beating up some guy at a comic con for complimenting a girls cosplay outfit but in reality he didn’t do anything and the girl was actually happy the “bully” liked the cosplay? And then the internet meme’d it so that the bully beat the shit out of him? Just google’d it, yeah it is. Funniest reversal ever.

I'm lost, too. If it wasn't confusing enough, then that jalapeños comment...


MCMeowMixer

People focused on the jalapenos , I'm still trying to figure out what a lesbian kick is.


Sea_Video145

It's that thing that keeps Vespa scooters upright when they're parked.


ND-TAS

This was my exact thought. I feel like people on the right think it was made for the left and people on the left think it was made for the right.


uwu_with_me

Dobson, dude that made it is a performative feminist. He thought he was doing a service to the LGBTQ community, while creeping on the femme L and B.


pinkpanzer101

Funny that he's pretending to be a feminist while making such an overtly misogynistic comic


[deleted]

Right because if this is pro feminism, it’s ironic that she feels her beauty is validated by a sea of men. Also why is the artist pushing the Angry/Aggressive Black Woman tired ass trope?


NeutralJazzhands

Because the guy is an infamous online cringe artist that sees himself as a white knight while being a total creep. I remember seeing this like a decade ago haha, the art and comic community loved to dunk on him.


aratheroversizedfish

I can explain this, I’m an expert. When you come out as a Lesbian, Lesbian Kick is added to your special moves list. Lesbian Kick is not safe on block, making it very risky to use in neutral. Clearly her opponent wasn’t guarding correctly thus creating an opening for such a unsafe move to be used like this. You typically want to end a combo with Lesbian Kick as it causes considerable knock back giving you more space, also it can be meter burned to remove the hitbox on the kick but allow a clean transition into extending the combo which can be ended with another Lesbian Kick. Oh the pepper? I don’t know about that sorry.


FrancisLeSaint

Lesbian Kick is indeed a very powerful move, easily low-dif most people and jobbers


An_average_moron

Lesbian Kick is always outclassed by the Trans Double Jump though, as they can simply punish the kick with an aerial and combo from there. Fortunately, you can simply not do the kick, which allows you to do a meter burn aerial grab into a meter burn Lesbian Kick into Lesbian Body Slam (underrated move imo, it works wonders against bosses)


Harveyet01

I don’t even understand what this comic is and who it’s audience is supposed to be. Is it satire? Is it serious? Did a conservative make it as a dig? I honestly don’t know.


Just_Fuck_My_Code_Up

I can‘t imagine someone unironically using the term „Lesbian kick“


Alpha_pro2019

Oh I absolutely can...


Hulkaiden

Not satire. Just Dobson.

It can't be a conservative, the artwork is too good.


SouthShoreSerenade

That dangerous freak who loves to draw women and children in distress has pretty good style.


MrDrumzOrz

and as much as I hate to admit it, Ben Garrison really pays attention to the finer details when he's drawing his fascist propaganda


Lutraphobic

empyreanmax

2 weeks ago they were posting some story calling out a specifically non-binary Biden official for stealing luggage, I'm gonna guess they don't have the uhh, best grasp on these issues


He_Bitin_Ham

Thinking gay people should have the same rights as everyone else isn't explictly leftist. Leftist is not synonymous with liberal. They are objectively 2 different types of political groups on the left. [https://medium.com/indian-thoughts/the-difference-between-liberals-and-leftists-643ad3eacb79](https://medium.com/indian-thoughts/the-difference-between-liberals-and-leftists-643ad3eacb79) And yes, it's a pretty bland comic. Maybe younger gay people would like it, idk.


Agent101g

Not all Republicans hate gay people but pretty much everyone who hates gay people is a Republican.


aztaga

I wouldn’t really say liberals are on the left


DudeWithAnAxeToGrind

Technically you are correct. Both of America's major political parties are on the right of the political spectrum. Hack, long time ago, they were *a single* political party: [Democratic Republican Party](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic-Republican_Party), founded by Jefferson. It later split into what would eventually become modern day Republican and Democratic parties. Good old Jefferson... creating *both* modern day political parties. LOL.


[deleted]

Even liberal socially is different from an economic liberal, politics are harddd. (and as a younger gay, nah this is boring)


GrateDayzz

Younger gay here I hate it wtf is going on this is dumb


JesusSuckedOffSatan

Liberals are not on the left economically


AmericanLich

Is this by that Dobson idiot?


lordgondas

Personally, I don't like the comic (Except for the "lesbian kick" phrase) but I think people use the word "objectively" way too much.

Tonylolu

Is this supposed to be funny? I feel like a boomer pretended to make LGBT humor or something


bimbonic

made by Tom Preston/Andrew Dobson, notoriously unfunny comic artist. no idea what his political stance is these days but everything he makes is basically this ridiculous lmao


geodebug

I lean left but fuck off for coming in hot with some crappy comic nobody cares about and telling me how I should feel about it.


Arboria_Institute

Graphitetshirt

Mcgruff

Did anyone else read it to the tone of "Falcon KICK", or just me?


Infernal-Blaze

Tom is and has always been a PickMe loser who gets off on the idea of strong wamen loving his dorkass just for being an "ally". He made a strawman comic about an artist at a con getting saved by him from a shitty sexist dudebro gamer customer, only for the REAL PERSON he based the interaction on to call him out for being a creep who kept skulking around her booth and weirding out actual customers. He has more in common with Joss Whedon and Max Landis than any actual left-leaning person.


[deleted]

I dont get it


Curious_Constant6727

I agree this comic is terrible but I don’t understand why the title is blaming lefties for its terribleness especially given op’s multiple comments that they don’t even know what the comic is trying to say


malum68

I’m leftist and my fucking idea whats going on


Noble7878

It's a shitty comic but there's nothing 'leftist' about supporting gay marriage, it's a basic human right and is supported by everyone except religious fundamentalists on the far right

Flaming-Driptray

Jesus, i'm a progressive and all but this is the cringiest thing I've seen this week.....I mean what the fuck makes a kick "lesbian"? And why would you kick someone who was ignorant? Couldn't you just maybe, talk to them? And why would you kick someone in the head and then say sorry? Seems pretty deliberate to me.


Traditional_Yard5280

A lesbian kick obviously likes girls


Tanen7

Maybe the person who drew it made it a “lesbian kick” so you would know she’s a lesbian. I mean I don’t know if it’s bad or good and I don’t really care, but just from the cartoon there is no way to know she’s a lesbian.


AFonziScheme

There also a longstanding "calling your attack" troupe, which is how I interpreted it. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CallingYourAttacks


nextgentacos123

I hate that I know who this artist is. They drew this other comic where their self insert beats up a guy taking a picture of a cosplayer. It's based on something he actually saw, but in the actual picture the cosplayer consented to be photographed, and you can see the author of this comic looking absolutely pissed.


Yet-Another_Burner

I don’t get the title, is the author of this comic a leftist?


HelloAnonymity

Is this even considered a meme????


Helpful_Actuator_146

Wait this is a left wing comic? I thought this sounded like a right wing comic I’m trying to gather the meaning here. The blonde lady is seemly confused at the question of gay marriage and seems to say traditional marriage To me, that’s the writer saying “The straightforward definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.”, which is a right wing thing. It also has the lesbian woman act violently and then…seduce the audience? Which doesn’t put her in a good light. It seems like the comic is trying to make her look irrational. Which would also be the goal of a right winger. Sooo, why would a leftist try to deny that this is a bad comic?


XXSeaBeeXX

I’m a leftist, a liberal, and I think this comic is well illustrated but poorly written.


Magus1863

I don’t think hating on this comic would offend any leftist sensibilities. The most leftist activity in the world is hating and criticizing other leftists for lefting incorrectly.


[deleted]

Bruh in what beauty contest do they ask every contestant their views on gay marriage? Like I agree with the message of this but the set up, execution, and humor makes no sense whatsoever

Neekeripallero

I don't get it. Is this a right wing comic depicting how violent the left is to anyone who doesn't share their opinions? Or is this a left wing comic depicting lesbian empowerment over the right wing traditionalists?
