Why does Daphne need to have visible nipples in this?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (2 children)

You have better eyesight than I do. That's one tiny dot of a nipple.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I count 2, plus four counts of murder.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Somehow her navel is visible through the tube dress as well. Perhaps it just made out of Saran Wrap.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I'm pretty sure this is a rough draft. Artists use these markers for correct proportions and take them out with the finished product. But many things of this sketch look unfinished.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

It’s realistic. You trying to say that you wouldn’t be excited after culling a klan rally?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Daphne doesnt believe in bras.

[–] LNRDrone@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Maybe the artist likes nipples? Can't blame them really

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Because women have nipples

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

But we're fine with the gun and murder?

Understand the way in which people commonly use iconic media figures in artistic, subversive ways to parody and highlight social issues. It's a human thing, humans do it.

You gotta try to fit in y'know.

[–] nyar@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yep, fine with the justified homicide of klansmen.

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I saw this one on Mastodon a couple days ago.

EDIT: It was good seeing it both times.

[–] Crowfiend@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I saw it the other day here ('here' being relative cause I don't remember the instance it came from) so it's probably just repost bots putting in work 🙄

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I always figured squid was just a sophisticated bot!

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 1 points 3 months ago

If they is, then they're better than OpenAI. Dude stands his ground in an argument pretty well.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

They are ghosts now

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (4 children)

So I have a fake white supremacist Facebook account where I befriend Nazis and then report all their Nazi posts and get them banned. My Klan friends are extra hilarious because they're so exquisitely stupid. One of them spent last weekend trying to pull a bad tooth out of his head with pliers.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

And yet they are so close taking over the most powerful country on earth. It's fucking dire.

[–] xenoclast@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah. It's more your Corpo Nazi. The ones wearing nice suits and complaining about high taxes and the cost of immigrant labor. The ones keeping that cost low by making them fight to get into the country and afraid they'll get caught so they work for peanuts.

Also they hate adult women because they can think for themselves so they take 12 year girls instead thank you very much...

But yeah. Klan at heart but a tiny bit smarter

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not the Klan. They can't even keep their Klavern together, and they fight like cats in a sack.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Mostly about who should be in their group or not, who should lead, which colour of wizard robe they should have in particular, sometimes about paying membership dues. I'm serious when I tell you that algae has more intelligence than the Klan.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

One of the more prominent members of the gop primary election was the son of an Indian immigrant. I wonder if the klan is just the old guard of fascism

[–] NotBillMurray@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"Yes, hello fellow white nationalists! I think that performing auto-surgery is a great idea and will really show those (slurs) who's boss. Also, I'm pretty sure antibiotics are a (slur about Jews this time) conspiracy, so you should never use them."

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I convinced them to vote for Joe Biden because it'll kick off race war, which is something they're obsessed with.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Just imagine the low IQ intrigue if one of them especially the guy with the bad tooth reads this. The witch hunt could be entertaining. You should figure out a way to get it posted there.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nice. Good job reporting them. Fuck Nazis!

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And as much as I hate cops, I might have reported some of them to law enforcement.

[–] Brickardo@feddit.nl 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They might have given them a medal instead of a reckoning

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I have a good FBI dude who helps a lot. We found some J6 people together.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 0 points 3 months ago

Damn, I kind of want you to create a community to post about all these people.

But I want even more for them to not find out who your alter egos are!

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

They are now

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

.... isn't her stupid-rich family ... nvm.

[–] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

...I love it

[–] kromem@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Why is she shooting ghosts with a gun?

Are they silver bullets and werewolf ghosts?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

She knows they aren’t ghosts. She always tells Shaggy and Scooby that there are no such things as ghosts. It must be about creating an alibi.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

She's just making their cosplay more realistic. Also im pretty sure they're supposed to be Klansmen.

[–] kromem@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Yes, that's what we are aware they are. But she's saying "oops, it isn't a ghost" after shooting it and finding out.

If she initially thought it was a ghost, why is she using a gun?

It's like the theory of mind questions about moving a ball into a box when someone is out of the room.

Does she just shoot things she thinks might be ghosts to test if they are?

Is she going to murder trick or treaters when Halloween comes around?

This comic raises more questions than it answers.

[–] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

No, not really. It's not that deep:

Daphne: sees klansmen

Daphne: knows they're racist, murderous pieces of shit

Daphne: shoots them dead

Daphne, tongue in cheek: "oops, it isn't a ghost"

END.

That's it, that's literally what this is. You're overanalyzing something very obviously intended to be anti kkk.

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I think Daphne is just playing dumb, and you're way overanalyzing this comic.
