Things aren't looking great…
It sucks when the state kills people
Wish we could do something about it
[the character is now in front of their TV, showing ICE agents surrounding a bleeding corpse on the floor]
Wait… this time they killed WHITE people
This means it could happen to me too?!

This comment section is the only platform on which I'm being ratio'd fwiw.
Been making satire long enough to not care much when people get mad, I stand firmly by the things I write.
Might be an indication that this audience thinks more deeply about what you're implying. Which 100% tracks with my experience on every social media platform compared to Lemmy.
The Fediverse suffers from extreme whiteness, that's all there is to it.
I think that's a better explanation when comparing the nature/contents of the conversations it's spawning on different platforms.
Not the first time I'm noticing it either.
You would have absolutely no fucking way of knowing that is true. Go ahead, keep attacking people you pretend are your allies. Definitely what's needed now.
These incidents are totally only getting attention because of race and Lemmy is the most racist. Totally nothing to do with the other killings you list not being on video. Totally not that /s
You talk as if whiteness is a disease, and then you act all self-righteous when people treat you like you're being a bigot?
You're doing so much to stop ICE by telling people they shouldn't care about these incidents simply because the victims were white.
It's not even a strawman, that's literally what the post is about and what some people are defending...
This is blatantly racist, what the hell is wrong with you?
I don't think you know what satire is
From the Oxford dictionary
I doubt anything can be more satirical than making a comic that portrays in an exaggerated way some people's blind spot for racial issues until they affect them personally in the context of contemporary politics.
Guessing your definition is "things I agree with are satire and things that upset me aren't" :)
The only satire you seem to produce is how you try to defend your work.
Please check which of these you think your comic is
[ ] humour [ ] irony [ ] exaggeration [ ] ridicule
I'm not sure why you think I'm upset. If I'm upset by anything its you whining about a handful of American deaths while Israel is committing a genocide. Why are you so racially biased?
