LARPING LEGENDS.
He might have read the books...?
Also, I don't read internet hieroglyphics, so what the hell does a smoke and an easter island statue emoji mean?

Smoking weed (hence the cigar and stone face).
also FFS it's "loser". A "looser" is someone who makes things loose, like an asshole.

I see, clever. Thanks.

What, makes assholes loose, or they're an asshole because they make things loose, or both? Malfoid here might implying that she has faith in the size of Potters dick.

Would we have a tool called "loosener", similar in fashion to "openers" and "fasteners"?
Oh, wait, I guess we do have looseners, they only have different names for different things to loosen.

Malfoid being a maiden in love is surprisingly adorable.
Yeah that's nice, but Gred and Forge clearly owe Harry a galleon and they still haven't paid up!
JJJ is an ally, at least.

Making ol' Gobby look especially hateable this time around.
Nevermind when he committed actual murders, I guess. Really illustrates the priorities here.
But as usual, this is a straw-man: No one is opposed to transsexual policies on the basis that they think trans are "freaks", rather it's on basis of the inadequacy of the current technology, post-op suicide rates AND exactly the attitude of the trans ideology behind this kind of straw-man dishonesty and messed-up priorities.

gobby is especially hateable in this because bigotry is a much more personal evil
it's the same rational as behind the quote "one is a tragedy, a million is a statistic" or why bully characters tend to be more hated than the mass murdering big bad, there is a farther disconnect between the latter in both cases than what people experience day to day so we have a harder time putting ourselves in the shoes of someone in that universe and feeling the weight of those crimes

Yes it's easier to hate like this, and that is exactly the problem - that this drawing incites hate: It represents those with opposing opinions as straw men, in this case as murderous and monstrous-looking villains with easily countered non-arguments (Green Goblin here certainly isn't saying the sort of stuff I'm saying). The artist represents the opposition in a way that is particularly easy to HATE, perpetuating the sort of cycle of hatred that we've all been taught since forever to avoid, which (ironically) in itself is an extremely clear case of bigotry.
What we should instead be doing is discussing the matter with actual argumentation. Right? Instead of trying to hide the arguments with downvotes.

I mean, not like comics are renowned for their subtle writing. If a character is a villain, he'll do villain stuff just to be hateable and make the readers hate him.
It's basic storytelling: to make people root for the hero (even if the hero is a monster, a loser or, and may Ptah forgive me for uttering that word, an Englishman), make the villain so vile that nobody will ever take his side.

All the more reason to try harder when writing comics.

Unfortunately, here he is used to represent a real political position, which makes this comic propaganda. Even if he represented posadism or anarcho-nihilism I'd still want him to use their actual arguments. I don't think I'd have as much of a problem with it if instead he represented the more "unsubtle" position that recreational murder is okay.

I don't know if there's a name for it, but I love the idea of Sakuya being classy, dignified, standing straight, more or less leading the Scarlet Devil Mansion, ordering the fairies around with leadership and charisma, all while she's incredibly clumsy and fucks up her tea serving big time.
And also Remilia's unamused face, like she's so used to it that she doesn't even care anymore.
I can't be gay unless you go back, you dumb rat.
In all seriousness though, I might be totally biased, but I just don't see the appeal.
You'd think taking a total baddie, taking away her boobs, giving her a different haircut, and swapping the content of her pants would result in a total baddie of a femboy, but it just doesn't work in this case.

No it isn't. The Pixiv image is darker. The arca.live image is an exact match.
