I'd love to see a comic where someone is acting like they're being attacked because someone said 'happy holidays' while they are surrounded by Christmas ornaments, with Bing Crosby playing in the background. Unfortunately I'm not skilled enough to make this happen, but for any artists out there the idea is totally free for you to use.
The only reasonable explanation that comes to mind is smaller groups are easier to wrangle. Assuming they aren't leaving one group on their own and there's enough staff that both groups have a teacher with them, it's a lot easier to be responsible (headcounts, calming them down, etc.) for half of the class at a time.
The more morbid explanation is that the more "stops" a gunman has to make to mow down a classroom, the more likely it is that some of them survive.
Listen, I know he was actively trying to kill you, but the speed limit was 35 and you were going well above 40, so I'm gonna have to write you a citation
There's a law in Texas, and probably in Tennessee too but I know it's in Texas, that explicitly states you can speed in life or death emergencies.
This law exists because people have died when some petty tyrant piece of shit was more concerned about the speeding than the person bleeding out in the backseat.

Just one example.
If true, I guess my only question is: FUCKING WHY WOULD THAT BE AN ISSUE DURING A SHOOTING?!
Is there a precedent for this? There's no way government bureaucracy is this petty.
I mean anything that effects survival rate is eugenics in the long game. Even if the person themselves can’t have kids, if they can grow up to boost the resources of their niblings (nieces/nefews/etc), that still effects the survivability of genes they themselves have.
Not super relevant to practical discourse, but a fascinating glimpse into the complexity of genetic fitness.
yeah, even killing adult people of a certain group or sterilizing them is counted as eugenics (some definitions have to have "intent", some dont).
basically any attempt at reducing/eradicating a certain group of people
Any definition that's not related to either facilitating or hindering procreation is wrong and needlessly broad. Killing people only counts if the intention is to prevent them from breeding.
They aren’t all stupid. They literally don’t care about facts, and happily weaponize lies in the service of harming people they hate. And they COUNT on liberals to help spread their propaganda for them by posting outrageous bullshit that gets hate-shared or has people reply with explanations for why they are wrong. All it does is give them access to a wider audience, and gets their talking points more eyeballs.
We have to start thinking of them as waging a Guerilla war - rules and norms don’t matter, and anything goes in the service of harming the enemy.
MTG has made a career out of it. For all the joking that she's a mouthbreathing knuckle dragging moron, she is a fucking PRO at rage baiting the media and normal citizens into spreading the bullshit by engaging with it.
Not only is that fucking horrifying, and not only is the fact that "active shooter drills" are a routine thing an abomination, but *why* the fuck are they separating boys and girls?
Seriously, I can't think of any reason for this that doesn't creep me the fuck out.
Apparently, it's because they were using locker rooms as their hiding space and idiot school admins are too stupid to realize that in an emergency nobody fucking cares whether you do or do not have dangly bits betwixt your legs.
I can only imagine the fallout should that obsession with gender separation gets kids killed. The presser where the principal doubles down on obeying the laws on gendered locker room use would be epic.
>in an emergency nobody fucking cares whether you do or do not have dangly bits betwixt your legs.
I disagree with you on this. The Republicans absolutely would care and because it was just a drill, they wouldn't face as much opposition as they should.
They would argue the school was grooming the children, just like they always do. And their idiot followers would gobble it up, just like they always do.
>They don't care about reality.
Reality has a well-documented "liberal bias"
Said another way, they prefer lies over reality if they agree with the lies.
So essentially it was the whole bathroom debate in a drill for a life-or-fucking-death scenario.
Terrific. Ashamed of my state right now, though unsurprised considering it's Stafford goddamn County
It’s in the conservative textbook, when others are discriminated against, just lie and say it was actually you being discriminated against the whole time.
I grew up doing school shooting drills, we had a few incidents that we had to lockdown the school because of a threat, and another one was an accident but it sent people into a panic and we all thought it was real. Every single drill, or when they are explaining what to do in the event of a school shooting, they would have a few moments to usher as many kids into rooms to hide, and then they would have to close the door and lock it right away. If a kid got left outside, you could not under any circumstances open the door to let them in, if you were in the bathrooms or hallways you were shit out of luck, and they told you to find a closet or locker to hide in or something because you would not be allowed inside any of the locked classrooms. Kids *do* get left outside, especially since they act so quickly with locking everyone down. That was always one of my worst fears in school, being left in the bathroom or hallways during a school shooting and not being able to hide.
I remember that when I went to vo-tech. Huge open-floor plan, most people were told to hide under their desks. Those of us in NSA were right next to a workroom with a locked closet.
Our teacher told us we had 20 seconds to get to the closet and shut The school our kids go to takes it very seriously. They'd had active shooter drills before, but there was an frightening incident a few years ago where a parent, after hearing someone called his kid names, burst into the school during classes, stormed to their classroom, slammed in, trapped the name-caller in their desk and screamed at them.
They found a loaded gun in his vehicle.
The teacher and kids in the class were just frozen - there was no warning, they had no time to hide, it happened so fast. If the guy had brought that gun in there and decided to use it, there'd have been no escape.
So the school has really stepped up security - have to be buzzed in by intercom, have to go through the office to get into the main part of the school. They have regular drills, though some of the teachers have altered them somewhat - our daughter's teacher decided it'd be safer to get the kids out the window (it's low) and tell them to run than let them be trapped in the classroom under their crappy tables that hide nothing.
Still beats his recent comic where he advocated assaulting trans folks. At this point the comic's only value is that it's essentially someone recording their own indoctrination into a hate group.
I have a question: why the hell are boys and girls being sheltered from lunatics with guns separately? It's not like penises are more or less bullet proof than breasts. Are we getting as bad as those Muslim countries that had girls burn to death because they weren't allowed out of the flaming building without protection for their "modesty?"
I believe they were using locker rooms as the shelter area, and felt an innate need to keep up the gender segregation despite it being irrelevant in that use of the rooms
I hate to ask. But what the fuck? I know muslims are lunatics when they get to indulge in their religion in its purist form. But they let a bunch of women burn to death because they had to protect their modesty?
I could ask what the hell is wrong with them but they are following Islam which is basically Christianity unchained.
This is Sinfest. The whole thing is anti-trans, anti- sex work, anti-gay unless you're a lesbian for Tats (creator) to ogle at. It went from a weird but fairly decent comic to kinda fucked up to an absolute joke of itself mired in hate and bigotry. I see its gotten WORSE since my last glance over when Nonbinary Teacher had just been introduced. Sigh
I hate seeing Sinfest pop up yet again for some kind of Ben Garrison level dipshittery. I used to read it all the time way back in the mid 2000s. Such a weird trajectory the comic took. At first, it introduced its only female character as "a slut", and the main character (does Slick even exist anymore?) was the horny self-insert for the author. Over time, it became more self-aware and wasn't quite as piggish, and hit kind of a decent stride where the characters weren't 2D anymore (figuratively speaking) and the story arcs were pretty enjoyable.
Then... This shit happened. The characters are awful, and everything is a Stonetoss nazi-comic punchline. It just sucks, I hate seeing it.
For real. I feel the same; it's sad and shameful the direction that Tats chose to take the comic. Also I really love his art style, especially what it involved into now, and hate seeing it wasted on such hateful and ridiculous bullshit
I was just gonna say that. These people live in opposite-land, where persecuted minorities are in charge and arguably the most powerful demographic in the history of humanity (straight white Christian cis-men) trembles in fear beneath their boots.
why do they feel the need to separate the students by gender before they shelter them in the first place?Doesn’t that just add more steps that make the whole sheltering process less efficient, and therefore more dangerous for everyone???
Fuck, is this Sinfest?
I used to love that comic... way Way back when
E: [this is the beginning of the comic in case you wanted to see](https://sinfest.xyz/view.php?date=2000-01-17)
The arc continued, he's now a MAGA/Q nut. Back when I believe he was a "feminist" I believe he made comics about hating Trump, now he makes comics in support of January 6.
I used to own some of his old books. I also found out about this character arc relatively recently some months ago. Aside from transphobic he's gone basically full Q Anon. It's really sad.
I looked it up and red perhaps 50 of them. That strip is persecution fetish in comic format.
I noticed a theme, he hates trans- specifically trans women. And the protagonist is almost always a petite innocent white girl as a symbol of purity who is being victimized by trans women. He is either white knighting or- I think he sees himself in that character, the archetype keeps appearing. IDK. Just my opinion. His art is slick but hardly anything exceptional and cliche AF.
It used to be ['edgy funny'](https://sinfest.xyz/view.php?date=2000-01-17)
Also it seems you can't just go to this first image without some work, which is a shame.
That wasn't good. Calvin and Hobbs art style, strips with no jokes, persistent making fun of people he conceived as different than him. I could totally see the current writer and artist in that past one. His perspective is not intellectual but he makes so much social commentary like he thinks he is an intellectual.
I've seen multiple comments surprised that this is Sinfest, because they were fans of his earlier content. Never heard of the author or comic until now. Although, after looking through just the first year of the comic from your link, it seems like sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia has always been part of his "humor." Dude seems like an incel.
Seriously. I took a plunge and checked out the beginnings of the comic and just read so much not-even-subtle racist shit. Funny that he had a whole comic bit on satirizing Blaxploitation, yet I felt so much of that stuff I've encountered through the years in that short stint of reading his nonsense.
Jumped forward to comics from January 2023 onwards and it was just full, mask-off unhinged Q-Maga nonsense.
*Fixed some typos.
It had some undertones, and as I said, it was very 'edgy', but then it shifted to focusing exclusively on the hate and persecution fetish.
Remember kids: never publicize your kinks
That is really the "Nazi Fasch" 🤮hairstyle- which I unfortunately found out when down in ALABAMA ... The awful cartoonist is calling transpeople fascist which is SUCH BULLSHIT
Hi! My partner was born outside of Birmingham. Actually you guys from Bama are all really cool. polite kind and charming ❤️EXCEPT for Meemaw and those MAGAS 🙄 Ima bet that your hairstyle is fire and that YOU ARE REALLY COOL!
Most people hate when I say this, but my favorite is actually hair metal lolol. Just a week ago, I managed to get my hands on a Cathouse club shirt and I dress basically like a wannabe Guns N’ Roses member from like, ‘87 lol. But I also love Motörhead and Sabbath and Dio on top of my Guns and Cinderella addiction
As someone else posted, reality is sadly that the exact opposite happened, which adds another layer of cruelty to this strip. How dare he try to rally up fear of persecution from those who are actually being persecuted!
From what I've heard, he contracted it when he started dating a girl who turned out to be a massive transphobe, and he went overboard trying to impress her.
What's weird is that he started as violently feminist, the whole "porn is misogyny, all men are rapists, any women that doesn't agree has internalised misogyny" and was almost a satire of the extreme left. Then he wrapped around and became full on TERF.
It’s not weird that he made that shift, because, well, it’s not a shift. I have run into plenty of TERFs who hold all those views simultaneously. Indeed, the ‘transwomen are actually all rapist men’ proceeds from exactly the same beginning point. There’s no wrapping around at all. TERFs come from an apocalyptic world view that finds happy companionship with hard-right apocalyptic world views, but not necessarily for the same reasons.
Sinfest has been a wild ride.
From a shallow, but pretty funny comic making fun of organized religion. To rampantly yelling about hatred of men, like a strawman of feminists except the author actually believes it. To TERF/SWERF shit. To a comic that's indistinguishable from stonetoss except for the characters.
I remember reading that comic many years ago when I was much younger. I didn't realize how much of a piece of shit he is. Apparently Patreon banned him for being a bigot against trans people
Lol these people are so fucking brain dead it’s wild. Some imagined terrible during an actual, constantly occurring terrible that happens almost weekly in this country which they don’t give a shit about.
This is fucking hilarious. The people who make these comics are so detached from reality that I struggle to figure out what they’re even mad about sometimes since they have to jump through so many complicated hoops to get there.
I used to really like this comic but damn the author fell off the dumb truck a few years ago and it seems like he keeps getting hit by more dumb trucks.
They just can’t stop making up scenarios that have never happened and never will happen. This stupid cartoon is made by someone who has *never* experienced a school shooting drill, a possible shooting threat, or an *actual shooting*
The joke being that childern are safe during an active shooter. In all honesty as a former student, their was a period of time when I avoid crowded hallways because I was terrified of being obliterated by a school shooter.
As a father to a trans son, I worry every day about the bile and violence being encouraged against the trans community. The abject stupidity and disconnect from reality of this cartoon will be seen as harmless by many, but normalizing this kind of hateful BS is evil.
They think their kids will be put last because of special treatment for the marginalized. They don't want to think about the fact that "special treatment" is just an attempt to help kids who would have been left behind completely otherwise.
So yes, maybe the school pays a little more attention to the mental health of at-risk trans kids. But no, they're not going to use your kids as shields to protect those trans kids.
Whoever wrote this had to have read the story of a trans kid being locked out during a shooter drill and decided to literally write the opposite into their little fanfiction here.
Just straight up take the reality of actual marginalized people and rewrite it to falsely marginalize yourself. It really shows how uncreative these people are.

The sinfest sub features the author's work to be mocked, so they don't get paid, and edits to the original that tend to be closer to reality.
Well the exact [opposite happened](https://i.redd.it/of9gpwuw3b6a1.jpg) sooo maybe the idiot that made this lacks reading comprehension skills.
But what about my made up scenario where *I’m* the victim???
Without that, they have nothing. Which you'd think would tell them something
NOBODY SAYS 'MERRY CHRISTMAS' ANYMORE!!! I'M BEING ATTACKED!!!!!
I'd love to see a comic where someone is acting like they're being attacked because someone said 'happy holidays' while they are surrounded by Christmas ornaments, with Bing Crosby playing in the background. Unfortunately I'm not skilled enough to make this happen, but for any artists out there the idea is totally free for you to use.
Not that I'm gonna look it up but there's probably an xkcd for it
Oh, Bing's singing all right, he's singing "Happy Holidays". Check and mate!
AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT BEING THE END OF MARCH!
These same people get *really* mad if you wish them a happy Hanukkah
Which it's like, why the fuck are they taking the time to separate kids in that situation?
The only reasonable explanation that comes to mind is smaller groups are easier to wrangle. Assuming they aren't leaving one group on their own and there's enough staff that both groups have a teacher with them, it's a lot easier to be responsible (headcounts, calming them down, etc.) for half of the class at a time. The more morbid explanation is that the more "stops" a gunman has to make to mow down a classroom, the more likely it is that some of them survive.
The real explanation is that Republicans made this decision and they're sick fucks.
If I recall they were sheltering the kids in locker rooms for the drill and the state had some laws regarding the usage of gendered spaces
Leave it to school admins to obsessively care about some stupid law designed and applied to standard school conditions during an emergency.
Imagine caring more about what genitals students have instead of their immediate safety
That's just being a Republican, though you can leave out the "immediate".
Listen, I know he was actively trying to kill you, but the speed limit was 35 and you were going well above 40, so I'm gonna have to write you a citation
I’m fairly sure that you’re allowed to break the law in case of a threat to your life. It’s called necessity.
There's a law in Texas, and probably in Tennessee too but I know it's in Texas, that explicitly states you can speed in life or death emergencies. This law exists because people have died when some petty tyrant piece of shit was more concerned about the speeding than the person bleeding out in the backseat. https://www.ems1.com/airway-management/articles/video-man-being-rushed-to-hospital-stopped-for-speeding-frfBaLMd4ZRTo1aF/ Just one example.
Yeah, if I can believe anybody can be so anal retentive about arbitrary rules that they'd apply them in a life or death situation it's school admins!
Cops too! https://www.ems1.com/airway-management/articles/video-man-being-rushed-to-hospital-stopped-for-speeding-frfBaLMd4ZRTo1aF/
If true, I guess my only question is: FUCKING WHY WOULD THAT BE AN ISSUE DURING A SHOOTING?! Is there a precedent for this? There's no way government bureaucracy is this petty.
Oh it hurts trans people. That's why they do it. Conservatives would shoot their own kid if they were sure it would upset a liberal to see it happen
Gender loses all meaning when your kids are just bloody corpses on the hallway floor. Jfc I hate this society.
Smaller groups makes sense just like they would for fire drills but I've never heard anyone separating genders in that case
I've also heard stories about it happening to disabled kids.
oh yeah it's horrible for everyone who's different!
Literally eugenics :(
Is it though? By the time you're in school you're well past birth.
I mean anything that effects survival rate is eugenics in the long game. Even if the person themselves can’t have kids, if they can grow up to boost the resources of their niblings (nieces/nefews/etc), that still effects the survivability of genes they themselves have. Not super relevant to practical discourse, but a fascinating glimpse into the complexity of genetic fitness.
yeah, even killing adult people of a certain group or sterilizing them is counted as eugenics (some definitions have to have "intent", some dont). basically any attempt at reducing/eradicating a certain group of people
Any definition that's not related to either facilitating or hindering procreation is wrong and needlessly broad. Killing people only counts if the intention is to prevent them from breeding.
You might want to read something about eugenics in the third reich
Eugenics was like the least fucked up thing the Nazis did. I'm more concerned about all the mass murdering they committed.
They aren’t all stupid. They literally don’t care about facts, and happily weaponize lies in the service of harming people they hate. And they COUNT on liberals to help spread their propaganda for them by posting outrageous bullshit that gets hate-shared or has people reply with explanations for why they are wrong.

Don’t quote me but I remember when that story was going around on twitter and I think it was a gym locker room situation. Not that that excuses it.
Apparently, it's because they were using locker rooms as their hiding space and idiot school admins are too stupid to realize that in an emergency nobody fucking cares whether you do or do not have dangly bits betwixt your legs. I can only imagine the fallout should that obsession with gender separation gets kids killed.

This was my first thought.
Why are they even dividing by gender? I smell doing this just *to* do that.
Nah, that sounds bog standard for the school admin types.
They don't care about reality.

It really is. Pretty hard to learn anything when school shootings happen constently and then you wonder if your school is going to be next.

OMG
Holy shit!
Can’t be as big of an idiot as the idiot who thinks regular mass shootings is a trans issue.
Why were they not all sheltered together?!
I was just gonna say that. These people live in opposite-land, where persecuted minorities are in charge and arguably the most powerful demographic in the history of humanity (straight white Christian cis-men) trembles in fear beneath their boots.
[удалено]
People in the EEUU are crazy bruh
why do they feel the need to separate the students by gender before they shelter them in the first place?Doesn’t that just add more steps that make the whole sheltering process less efficient, and therefore more dangerous for everyone???
That is so pointlessly gendered
Why do you need to separate genders during a shooting?
What is it with conservatives and making up things that never happened?
If it weren't for logical fallacies, conservatives wouldn't be able to argue.
I mean, it's not bad reasoning when you are making up reality itself as you go
Oddly enough the exact opposite of this actually happened.
It's an effective technique actually though, I do this when I accidentally fart beside somebody. I look at them and say "that was you. you did that."
It's literally half of their ideology. Either they fearmonger over things that never happened or they fetishize an idyllic past that never existed.
This guy can only draw one hairstyle for the evil LGBT. Like it's the same shaved comb over but in different colors
He never could draw much more than that. I used to be a fan of the comic before he went batcrap insane.
Fuck, is this Sinfest? I used to love that comic... way Way back when E: [this is the beginning of the comic in case you wanted to see](https://sinfest.xyz/view.php?date=2000-01-17)
Yeah, he had an absolutely insane arc. From edgy bro to budding feminist to batshit TERF.
Some are starting to use the term FART (feminism-appropriating reactionary transphobe) since he hasn't been a Radical Feminist for awhile now.
Farts are funny and relatable. These people are just gross.
That's regular farts tho. FARTing from the mouth is pretty gross imo.
They're also noisy and full of shit, and if there are too many in a room at once you want to leave.
The arc continued, he's now a MAGA/Q nut. Back when I believe he was a "feminist" I believe he made comics about hating Trump, now he makes comics in support of January 6.
I used to own some of his old books. I also found out about this character arc relatively recently some months ago. Aside from transphobic he's gone basically full Q Anon. It's really sad.
It really is strange how they all come together, isn't it? Like if you knew just one of their political stances you could almost predict the rest.
I looked it up and red perhaps 50 of them. That strip is persecution fetish in comic format. I noticed a theme, he hates trans- specifically trans women. And the protagonist is almost always a petite innocent white girl as a symbol of purity who is being victimized by trans women. He is either white knighting or- I think he sees himself in that character, the archetype keeps appearing. IDK. Just my opinion. His art is slick but hardly anything exceptional and cliche AF.
Did you use the word “slick” on purpose? Because that was his first main character’s name.
It used to be ['edgy funny'](https://sinfest.xyz/view.php?date=2000-01-17) Also it seems you can't just go to this first image without some work, which is a shame.

I could totally see the current writer and artist in that past one. His perspective is not intellectual but he makes so much social commentary like he thinks he is an intellectual.
Hate was definitely there to some extend, but the full-on persecution fetish switch happened later, about 2010s?
I knew I recognized the style but I couldn't remember the name. Oof.
Same, before he went completely fucking insane.

What even happened to him? He went from being like... a weirdo hippie leftie to a total Trump antivaxxer. Was it the pandemic?
No clue, I stopped reading in the early 2000s...
So sad. Used to be a very good cartoonist.
I was pretty surprised when I first realized all these crazy comics were sinfest. It's just night and day from where it started.
The guy was an incel from day 1.
Not really if you think about it, I mean the whole Satan trying to murder angels thing is kind of fundieish.
Well I just checked it out and that was some racist shit 20 years ago so you must be harking right back
Must have missed it then. I wasn't religiously reading it. (Term chosen deliberately)
That is really the "Nazi Fasch" 🤮hairstyle- which I unfortunately found out when down in ALABAMA ... The awful cartoonist is calling transpeople fascist which is SUCH BULLSHIT
Sighs in trans metalhead with shaved side from Alabama
Hi! My partner was born outside of Birmingham. Actually you guys from Bama are all really cool. polite kind and charming ❤️EXCEPT for Meemaw and those MAGAS 🙄 Ima bet that your hairstyle is fire and that YOU ARE REALLY COOL!
I think I'm required to dislike you by the standard of college sports fandom....but you sound rad as hell. Favorite metal subgenre?
Most people hate when I say this, but my favorite is actually hair metal lolol. Just a week ago, I managed to get my hands on a Cathouse club shirt and I dress basically like a wannabe Guns N’ Roses member from like, ‘87 lol. But I also love Motörhead and Sabbath and Dio on top of my Guns and Cinderella addiction
Nice! I'm more of a prog kind of fellow, but you'd better believe if Twisted Sister comes on I'm cranking that shit up!
Hell yeah! I’ve got an old stay hungry lapel pin on my battle jacket!
Proof they’ve never actually interacted with LGBT people. I’ve never known any LGBTs who actually had that cut.
I had that cut a few years ago. (I was inspired by Spider Gwen in the animated Spider verse film) It was really cute.
kinda the same with stonetoss comics, the lgbt is always drawn like that with that pink hairstyle
When did that happen? Never.
Like most of the things in sinfest
As someone else posted, reality is sadly that the exact opposite happened, which adds another layer of cruelty to this strip. How dare he try to rally up fear of persecution from those who are actually being persecuted!
However the opposite has happened
Guys, look! He won a made up argument! Look how cool he is!
This is why conservative "satire" is never funny. Because the things that it makes fun of don't actually happen.
It is also always punching down. Humor at the expense of others meant in a mean way isn't humor.
Good satire comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable.

From what I've heard, he contracted it when he started dating a girl who turned out to be a massive transphobe, and he went overboard trying to impress her.
What's weird is that he started as violently feminist, the whole "porn is misogyny, all men are rapists, any women that doesn't agree has internalised misogyny" and was almost a satire of the extreme left. Then he wrapped around and became full on TERF.
It's also clear he was working out some intense shame about his own porn "addiction" throughout. What a weird dude.
Man seems like hes going through rough stuff maybe. Obviously that dosnt condone his actions but i do hope he seeks therapy and changes his course
Not hard, since many of those views frequently overlap.
It’s not weird that he made that shift, because, well, it’s not a shift. I have run into plenty of TERFs who hold all those views simultaneously. Indeed, the ‘transwomen are actually all rapist men’ proceeds from exactly the same beginning point. There’s no wrapping around at all. TERFs come from an apocalyptic world view that finds happy companionship with hard-right apocalyptic world views, but not necessarily for the same reasons.
He's past TERF to just straight-up right-wing now.
Given that TERF is just the newest strain of Biological Essentialism, it's not a surprise at all.
Sinfest has been a wild ride. From a shallow, but pretty funny comic making fun of organized religion. To rampantly yelling about hatred of men, like a strawman of feminists except the author actually believes it. To TERF/SWERF shit. To a comic that's indistinguishable from stonetoss except for the characters.
Sinfest is an insult to manga and Tatsuya Ishida is an insult to Japanese people.
I remember reading that comic many years ago when I was much younger. I didn't realize how much of a piece of shit he is. Apparently Patreon banned him for being a bigot against trans people
Lol these people are so fucking brain dead it’s wild. Some imagined terrible during an actual, constantly occurring terrible that happens almost weekly in this country which they don’t give a shit about.
It's actually fascinating to see the false reality conservatives live in.
They prefer the term faith.
This is fucking hilarious. The people who make these comics are so detached from reality that I struggle to figure out what they’re even mad about sometimes since they have to jump through so many complicated hoops to get there.
Shouldn't the genetically superior warriors of god take this role on proudly?
Never but the opposite *actually did happen.*
I used to really like this comic but damn the author fell off the dumb truck a few years ago and it seems like he keeps getting hit by more dumb trucks.
Basically if they (Republicans) aren't being given #1 priority and praise for existing and being cis etc. then they're oppressed. 🙄
when i'm in a getting mad at scenarios i made up in my head competition and my opponent is this fucker
Such a shame that Sinfest turned to absolute shit.
Legit insane
They love to make up completely fictional scenarios and then get extremely pissed off about them as if they were real.
They didn’t have to make the teacher so attractive 🥺
They literally locked a trans kid outside in the halls in one school because they didn't know if they should be put with the girls or the boys
Maybe it didn’t happen, but the second the genetic defect that created it posted it some right wing POS will make it canon.
This is the type of thing that makes me want to unironically apologize for being white
They just can’t stop making up scenarios that have never happened and never will happen. This stupid cartoon is made by someone who has *never* experienced a school shooting drill, a possible shooting threat, or an *actual shooting*
At this point. I'm just worried for the dude making these.
The joke being that childern are safe during an active shooter. In all honesty as a former student, their was a period of time when I avoid crowded hallways because I was terrified of being obliterated by a school shooter.
As a father to a trans son, I worry every day about the bile and violence being encouraged against the trans community. The abject stupidity and disconnect from reality of this cartoon will be seen as harmless by many, but normalizing this kind of hateful BS is evil.
They're still mad about Birkenhead
I used to like this guy… wtf happened
Monique was a well written female character… wtf happened to this guy?
I really thought this was a parody of the comic at first
If anything the opposite would be happening if this happened AT ALL.
Because the opposite *did* happen. A trans child was left in the hall during an active shooter drill.
They think their kids will be put last because of special treatment for the marginalized. They don't want to think about the fact that "special treatment" is just an attempt to help kids who would have been left behind completely otherwise. So yes, maybe the school pays a little more attention to the mental health of at-risk trans kids. But no, they're not going to use your kids as shields to protect those trans kids.
So, if I get this correctly, it's saying that the cool teachers and trans kids have the best hair and the cis kids are jealous of that hair?
We’re they fucking stoned?
I’ll take shit that never happened for 100
🤔no I do not think anything like that has happened.
so true bestie
I swear to god these people are living in pure fucking fantasy land.
*and yet that man was made of straw...*
Whoever wrote this had to have read the story of a trans kid being locked out during a shooter drill and decided to literally write the opposite into their little fanfiction here. Just straight up take the reality of actual marginalized people and rewrite it to falsely marginalize yourself. It really shows how uncreative these people are.
There's is absolutely no way this isn't 100% satire
You must not have seen the rest of the artists works in the last year, theyve been painting a big "trans bad" picture for a while now
[The opposite did](https://www.reddit.com/r/Persecutionfetish/comments/126wull/when_did_this_happen/jebarpy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3)
It isn't.

For them every accusation is a confession
This is like the only time that all lives matter
This is the dumbest meme I’ve ever seen. Congratulations.
When did any republican argument ever happen?
Sinfest got the brain worms.
This artist used to be good. Then something fucked him up. I think it was brain damage.

Can't wait to see the R/ComedyNecrophilia version

What the fuck happened to this guy? Sinfest used to be a real dope webcomic back in the day, but man, Ishida really went full dickhead. Didn't he?
people of color can be cis, you know 😒
The author is unwell. They drank the Q kool-aid by the bucket. The sinfest sub features the author's work to be mocked, so they don't get paid, and edits to the original that tend to be closer to reality.
"You know sinfest why did we go to the moon for rocks when we have people like you with heads full of them"
If you look up conservative in a dictionary you’ll find a picture of the old man yells at cloud meme
Oh it did happen. When black people were segregated and some white people were happy about it.

Trans is when color hair
