I imagine there will be fuss over this, “politics” in XKCD, as if (with the author being an academic) a PhD student getting grabbed off the street in your town against the state’s wishes for something she published somehow isn’t relevant.
There might not be. The only people that read xkcd are those that can understand it, so there could be a cutoff where you just arent gonna get the other side of the “politics”
If that was true, there’d be no need for ExplainXKCD.com.
And even then on some of the more physics-y ones I just give Randall the benefit of the doubt that it’s funny.
XKCD covers so many subjects, its hard to understand all of them
Sometimes even explainxkcd doesn’t help :c
Maybe.
It’s fairly popular in tech circles where there’s a large intersection with MAGA, or at least a more “keep politics out of my programming” attitude predating that.
People bitching about politics are bad faith Nazis trying to appeal to ignorant folk who don’t know no better. Belittle them. Bash them. Tell them to go fuck themselves
Those people are strangely quiet when it’s a conservative-leaning meme, so I’ve learned to, as you say, tell them to get bent.
I can think of no better situation for the phrase “fuck you and the horse you rode in on”
