The comic could have cut the 4th panel and not lost the point. In fact the presence of the 4th panel is the problem here. It makes a implied sweeping generalization which is by and large what (as best I can tell) a fair number of people (likely in said generalized group) take issue with.

Nothing really difficult to comprehend as far as I can tell. Generalized negative statements about generalized groups are usually made in bad faith. Simple as that.

No. It really doesn't do that, and you're very much choosing to misinterpret this

So explain to me and the other posters who identified the same issue are incorrect in our interpretation... And you somehow are correct in yours. You've provided the equivalent of "nuh uh" to the argument.

It's like you and one other guy who can't seem to understand what the entire rest of the thread is telling you.

You don't want to understand. You want to be mad.

The words that you keep trying to claim mean someone they don't, don't mean that things. I'm not sure how many ways I can rephrase that so you can grasp it. This isn't "nuh uh", it's just you not understanding English.

Sorry I don't subscribe to group think and believe in open discourse?

I'm not sure you grasp the nuance of discussion outside whatever COD match you crawled out of. If you are genuinely convinced someone discussing something is "mad" ... You must live in a pretty dark place. That's simply not how normal people are... If that's something you expect - that's rough.

This isn't "nuh uh", it's just you not understanding English.

Boil down for me what your interpretation is of that statement the girl made in panel 4. Why is it "about what she expected?" Why would she expect it?

Go on. Explain english to me. I'd love to discuss this.

I'll wait.
