Imagine saying that while jumping to the defense of China, which in terms of dystopian capitalism, fascism and democratic backslide, is pretty much the poster child.

If you are told all day that you are under attack, then go onto a supposedly more tolerant space and what you see if people attacking you, then it's naïve to think it will not affect you.
This is just a massive own goal, and is entirely avoidable by targeting the right butt of the joke, rather than aiming large, having collateral damage and saying "you're only offended if you feel targeted". That's not fighting the good fight, that's just being a hateful shithead on the internet.
See, I actually dislike this a lot, because while it should be poking fun at far right chuds, it just generalizes to straight men on the internet instead.
Congrats to the author, the only thing this has done is fuel the gender divide and turned a few more young men to far right politics, and this is the sort of thing used as proof to make them feel under attack as straight men.
By all means, keep scoring massive own goals and wondering why more and more young men and turning to the far right.
"Here, let me describe you. If you feel targeted, it's that you are the irredeemable scum this comic describes"
Meanwhile, the comic describes men on the internet.
Super easy fix to the comic: add political leaning to the description. Literally one word to make fun of the people who need to be made fun of. Meanwhile, everyone here is bending over backwards to explain how collateral damage is perfectly fine, and isn't totally playing into the alt right's pipeline in the most avoidable way ever.
