  • trump is an airplane, and the Rule of Law/Constitution are the twin towers

    If I was the artist's friend and they just pitched that idea to you with that description... I'd suggest workshopping it a bit.

    And we're discussing if it's a good cartoon, not the content of it.

  • It's a political cartoon. The cartoon part is supposed to add something that words couldn't.

    You're implying this cartoon is good enough to publish which tells me you either haven't seen many political cartoons or you're letting your opinion on the message define if it's good or not.

  • Sounds like you agree with me then! It not being clever is what makes it a bad cartoon. It doesn't bring new perspective, it just says "Trump is bad like this other thing was bad"

    Agreeing with the point (which I do) doesn't make a cartoon or meme good.

  • Political cartoons are supposed to be clever and this is not. "9/11 was really bad. Trump is also really bad." Wow... Never thought about it like that...

    And it's in bad taste, using 9/11 almost as a punchline. Replace the twin towers with any tragedy and it's the same "joke." How about a cartoon in Uvalde? The kids can be wearing that text on their shirts.

    Agreeing with the message doesn't blind me to how r/im14andthisisdeep this is. It's just not a clever cartoon.

  • You're not wrong but I do think there's more nuance to it than that as other female celebrities don't get nearly the hate she does.

    Katy Perry represents the music industry. She is THE corporate artist, bland and inoffensive. She's a good singer but not a unique or amazing one. She's not all that popular anymore yet she's constantly in the news (TBF, I probably follow music news closer than most).

    Collaborating with with Dr. Luke on her new album made it clear that she's just hollow. Whatever it takes to stay in the spotlight. It's like getting Chris Brown to do a feature on your single.

    I'm not sure John Mayer is a great example here as it's been a long time since he even ran in the top 40 circle.

  • I only made it about 6 hours at one job, a shift and a half.

    I had a job in college digitizing betacam tapes (old BBC/PBS footage, pretty cool!) but it was on and off. During a long lull, I needed cash bad and took the first job that called - Jimmy Johns delivery driver.

    First day was fine but I knew I would hate it. Second day I locked my keys in my car.

    While I was waiting for my roommate to bring me my spare set, I got a call for a different gig (production assistant on a film). It was only 8 days at $50/day but I quit JJ on the spot. Late 2000s for context on how pitiful that is

  • I don't HATE her but I'm about as sick of seeing her as Jimmy Fallon. She's boring yet always in the spotlight.

    I went from completely neutral to mild dislike at your second to last point. Not only is he a rapist, the album sucks. She's out of touch in a genre that caters to the youth.

    FWIW I have a remix of Cali Girls on my morning playlist. Also FWIW, 3/4 of my favorite artists are women
