Critical Miss: An Appeal

[Ponch]

Loved the comic and I especially loved the SubmerseD lyric at the bottom

 

[The Wooster]

People complaining about censorship in a public space, claiming their right to be dicks...
Ah... it must be great to be young.

wheres the email/paypal account im suppose to donate to?

 

[Snarky Username]

I love how half the comments section completely missed the point of this comic...

One could even say it was a...

Critical Miss

Honestly, if the comic didn't set it off, what about the essay that they wrote in the post?

 

[Plurralbles]

best one so far.

I applaud it whole-heartedly. Of course that poem is in poor taste! It's supposed to be! It's supposed to illustrate just how stupid it is to argue on the side of allowing such images and just how little a deal it is to put douchebags in their place.

I think banning players who make swastikas is fine. They set out to offend like the immature trolls they are - and they did offend people. Ergo, that deserves a ban on those grounds.

If X-box Live got rid of the immature, the racists, the screamers and singers and the homophobes - I say more power to them because Live would be better off without them.

 

[KiKiweaky]

Love the comic haha =P

But ya I'm not particularly offended by them either, but I can see why Microsoft doesnt want people putting stuff like that all over the place.

 

[Reaper69lol]

If you're gunna let people design their own emblems, then LET THEM DESIGN THEIR OWN EMBLEMS!

Yes! Thank you. What did they expect anyway? That we will be mature and not do that shit?

 

[Sicram]

Pfft, ban them all I say, the more the better. Take some dodgy cases aswell for good measure! I actually couldn't care less about the banned peoples pleas...

I just might have to mention one small detail though... I'm a PC only player (oops).

One thing though, do they really have that symbol in the game or did they just take the air force symbol and turn it a bit?

 

[Staskala]

An Appeal
But what about that air force symbol... and um... Buddhists.

This is not a Swastika.

Spoiler: This is.

The real Nazis used both versions of the Swastika, as long as it "turns" clockwise it doesn't matter if you tilt it 45° or not.
I don't get why people want to make a distinction between those two, they are the same symbol used by the same people. Which is also why both get banned.

The original Buddhist Swastika on the other hand turns counter-clockwise.
Also, all of them are Swastikas, it doesn't matter who used them or how you arrange them.

 

[Niccolo]

Well I don't see how it would be tastefull. It's a digital image. Stop licking your screen.

D'oh. Surprisingly humorous for a profoundly literal reading.

I am amused.

And frankly, the quality of xbox live could probably only be improved by hitting 3/4 of the population with napalm. Although that is a solution to many problems.

Webcomic: Comparing the taking away of stupid, worthless, hateful images by a private corporation to a state-organised genocide is not cool.

Comments: OMG! YEW CANT SAY THAT! COMPARING THE TAKING AWAY OF STUPID WORTHLESS HATEFUL IMAGES BY A PRIVATE CORPORATION TO A STATE-ORGANISED GENOCIDE IS NOT COOL! and some trolls

So much hate. This comic keeps getting better and better, but its readership sure as hell doesn't.

 

[Boba Frag]

I found the comic tasteless. And while I know people are going to get on me for being butthurt about whatever they have decided to infer I'm butthurt about, I'm not offended. I still think it was tasteless.

You have been successfully trolled by some webcomic authors. Take a bow.

That was some might fine trolling by Critical Miss

 

[HentMas]

why would you put a goatse in your comic??

that was... disgusting

i´m starting to understand you are a /b/tard (a user of the /b/ board in 4chan for those that dont know)... but that doesnt make you cool, its just "lol, they´ll laugh at my "Troll face" and the "goatse" all i need to do is keep putting memes generated in 4chan and i´ll be sooooo popular"

or at least that´s what you seem to be doing

if i´m wrong, please excuse my stupidity, but also, please stop with the "4chan" content, i´m sure you are better than that.

Martin Niemöller's poem, not the most obvious source of comedy, but it works.

The version inscribed on the U.S. Holocaust memorial museum goes:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out -
because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out -
because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out -
because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.

Originally "First they came for the Communists" - but the US version was changed to "Socialists" because around the Cold War, no American liked a Commie.
Now nobody seems to like a Socialist. Oh, dear.
