  • Here’s where you’re wrong

    Their litmus test for “people they think will agree with them” is just: be a white man.

    I am a burly white dude. Tall, big beard, I look like I walked out of the mountains… Unprompted, some white people will casually say some unhinged rascist shit to me. And have, many times.

    One time there was a shooting nearby, a white maintenence worker told me about it, and then without missing a beat goes “it was two black guys shooting at eachother, so much for brotherly love, right?”

    Another time, in a gas station up in the sticks, Im buying a can of monster. Some white stranger, unprompted, taps me on the shoulder starts telling me about how the logo is a Jewish letters for the sign of the devil…

    So, no, you dont have to be someone these people know… you just have to a white man. They assume any white man (especially masculine presenting) is one of them.


  • The visual flow for dialog is bad. Especially on panel 3. The way the eyes move from panel 2 to 3 has you read the dialog from orange on panel 2 directly to the orange dialog on panel 3. Especially since orange’s dialog is higher in the panel.

    Convention is to read the highest text first. So it reads as though orange is just unprompted berating green, to which then green is responding to that (that the berating is unfair, not that the race was unfair). When you realize that’s the wrong order, and you’re supposed to read the lower text first, then it makes sense that green is stating the fault initially and then orange is attacking green for that.
