Tuperman!
Shaenon: Robin has created a super-villain, Tuperman, nemesis of Superman. He looks like a cave and there is a man inside the cave (who I think is operating Tuperman? More research is required). Superman stops him by throwing snowballs. I did my best to draw their earth-shaking battle but I’m sure I didn’t do it justice.
Channing: Honestly, comic canon is so batcrap crazy I would have nearly believed this was official if presented out of context.
I wonder if we will see Tuperman as a SNH in Skin Horse someday? And without Superman around, it’ll take the combined efforts of Rhodey and Grandma Swamp to defeat him!
I’ve seen worse… granted, either Silver Age or Marvel… I hear the modern stuff has been SJW’ed so far it makes Star Trek Drekscovery look good- not worth the drive to find out, though…
I’m not sure this will be the most receptive audience for complaining about “SJWs.”
Then we get to witness SJW-brand “tolerance”. I’ll pop some popcorn…
Right. Because right-wingers LOVE to be told that anything associated with them is, by definition, awful.
Sorry, but you appear to be the one here upset about people different from yourself being given a voice.
But soggies may rule…
To be fair, SJW has so many interpretations, you could argue for them or against them, and either way you’d still be right.
Sheesh. I figured Comicsgate would come poop on my webcomic one of these days, but I didn’t think it’d be over a cute thing my preschooler said. Keeps me on my toes, I guess.
Pygar, I don’t play the “tolerate my intolerance” game and you’re being rude. Knock it off.
Shaenon! That’s it, you’re going straight in the “spitting on their own audience” list of Encyclopedia Dramatica ^_^
Shaenon, nothing I said was intended as a reflection of you, or Robin. I griped about a bad TV show, PC pabulum, and mentioned that I’ve heard modern comics are even worse. To me, SJW means “the people who project their hatred, fascism, and intolerance onto others, to the point that colleges can’t educate, football games start with acts of insulting antipatriotism, and lives and careers get ruined for saying scientific facts”. I won’t watch TV shows, or read comics, generated from hatred. I won’t go to conventions or other functions from which whites, or any other color person, is banned. My favorite web comic, hint hint, is about a team of hypertolerant people helping people others would fear or despise.
Somehow, that makes me the intolerant and rude one?
Sheesh, let’s just drop it.
Yes, you were rude. You would not like to be talked to the way you talked to people here. It should be obvious from my work that I’m probably the type of person you’d label an “SJW” (I don’t know how Jeff feels), and as a lady cartoonist I’m on the hit list of the anti-SJW comics gang, but I don’t mind you insulting me. Picking on other guests on my site, however, is not acceptable.
Okay, man. If you honestly read Skin Horse as an allegory for the plight of the poor oppressed white men, as it seems that you do, I don’t even know where to go from there. I genuinely can’t see how anyone could possibly read this comic and not see that it’s coming from a very “SJW” point of view.
I heard they’ve got “Society” and “Justice” right in the name of a supeteam these days…
I’m impressed enough just knowing Robin knows “S” is followed by “T.”
I honestly thought it was a play on “tupperware”
Yes! I went there too.
After he eats a building, does he burp to seal in freshness?
Cave? I thought that was the head of a God-Warrior from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
I believe “Batcrap Crazy” was the working name of the Batman/Joker mashup from the recent Metal event.
Anyway, I love Tuperman. When I was a kid, I invented a Batman villain called Namtab, and I can’t recall anything about him except how pleased I was with the name.
I can’t find the link, but in an old article Chris Sims talked about a character he called ‘Twoperman,’ the result of when a Superman author fundamentally misunderstood the character, named for when artists would mistakenly draw Supes’ signature forehead s-curl backwards into a 2.
What I’m saying is that the world demands a team-up between Tuperman and Twoperman.
I dare say the trick is:
If they call people SJWs, they’re probably an asshole.
If they call themselves an SJW, they might be an asshole. I have less experience to verify this one one way or the other, though.
Basically, when you hear the term, it may be time to find new conversation partners.
I had to look it up. That’s how little experience I have with it. And I found so many conflicting definitions and articles, I’m still not sure what the term is supposed to mean. And despite my constant thirst for knowledge, I don’t even care that I don’t know. I just know I don’t want anyone to think of me as one.
There’s much to learn here. Probably more than I want to know.
Allow me to educate you: it’s a made-up slur for made-up people. “SJW” do not exist as the people use the term think they exist. They don’t have to. Their purpose is to create an excuse to feel like an oppressed underdog in a situation where they are not and not have to reexamine their beliefs about their status in the world.
I’d say it depends on the level of self-awareness. A sarcastic “Oh, I want [reasonable position], I’m such a crazy SJW,” is pretty normal, but anyone that takes pride in the ‘warrior’ part but doesn’t actually DO much should be avoided.
My experience comes from Tumblr and various communities filtered through my teenage friends plus a few fandom/shitpost blogs, so I’ve seen the term thrown around a lot with evolving connotations.
Maybe Robin got the idea from Catwoman, C being the next letter after B.
Would fit right into Gwenpool or Nextwave: Agents of HATE. 🙂
