What The Comic Is: Two men hold aloft a banner reading "REFUGEES WELCOME <3". One man inquires to the other that if 'white folk' disappear, then who will thank them for what they're doing. The second man attempts to formulate a retort, but fails to.

Why It's Fucking Stupid: StoneToss truly is incapable of mocking others without needing to strawman them. I mean, come on. He must be able to think of sooomething he could genuinely point out and lampoon about liberals. Surely, there's got to be something he's smart enough to make fun of. No? There isn't? Oh well.

Alright, so StoneToss is just saying that white people are only welcoming refugees to serve their own ego. That other humans are empathetic and will aid their fellow people is something that eludes and confounds StoneToss. He also complains about refugees raping people, which to be fair is a thing that has happened during mass refugee movements. It's only to be expected that, when you have a large group of people, some of them are going to commit crimes. What he's mostly whining about is the European refugee crisis in which refugees from countries such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan were fleeing displacement due to war and political oppression. 

Between the years of 2016 and 2017, before this comic was published, the Syrian refugee crisis (a subset of the overall European refugee crisis) was at a peak in the media and in politics. Sexual assault and rape crimes committed by refugees and migrants of Syrian descent were rife in news topics, and protests against refugees committing sexual assault were rampant in countries such as Sweden and Germany. This provided almost unlimited vindication and ammunition for anti-refugee camps to exploit, twisting the situation into what they'd have you believe was a full on "rape epidemic". Much cherry picking was done by everyone to try and prove that refugees were either good or bad people, instead of a massive influx of human beings who all behave independently.

That a person, as a refugee, enters into a country and then sexually assaults someone is an issue. This should not really be up for debate. However, what StoneToss is concerned about isn't even that some refugees commit crimes. You really think StoneToss cares if a woman gets raped? Pssh, please. It isn't about the safety of anyone, it's about imaginary white genocide that will totally happen because people who are brown flee into your country to escape dying. It's about painting those who support refugees as self-serving. It's about complaining that the 'white race' is the only race that continues to "be cucked", because we all know the Asian and African continents never have migrant crises of their own, not ever. It's only white people countries that get invaded (opps, I mean, migrated!) by black people. Why don't the other races have to be cucked mommy it's not fair waa waa waa.

It's difficult to live in a world where your views and beliefs are challenged or put under scrutiny. By contrast, it's very easy to live in a world where you imagine all of the people who don't agree with you as bad faith actors that don't actually like brown people but are only utilizing them for an ego boost. StoneToss lives in the latter because that's how you know he isn't a cuck1111!!


Comic Name: Gaymer Gate

Description: We did it, Reddit!

Mouseover: This is fine.

What The Comic Is: A man is overjoyed to finally have his video game free of feminist influence. Placing his VR goggles over his head, he plays his game as the fourth panel reveals a post-apocalyptic cityscape overtaken by homosexual and feminist iconography.

What StoneToss Actually Thinks: That GamerGate preoccupied society while feminism took control of everything else as unwitting gamers focused their attention at the wrong thing.

Why It's Fucking Stupid: GamerGate was a messy debacle. First, just as a piece of trivia, the reason we call it "GamerGate" is a play on the Watergate scandal that involved US President Richard Nixon's attempt to cover-up his administrations involvement in the break in of the DNC headquarters in Washington D.C.

Suffixing any scandal or conspiracy with "Gate" has become the trendy thing to do, but generally what constitutes a "Gate" situation is when the scandal is revealed and then slowly leaked upon further by someone closely related to, or even within, the scandal itself; as part of what made the Watergate scandal so juicy was that it was being leaked to the press in the form of vocally-distorted audio tapes by FBI deputy director William Mark Felt, Sr. In the case of GamerGate, murky insider (unproven) information was leaked concerning the ethical nature of video game journalism. This lead to a huge, broad unofficial movement that had no singular leadership, goal or any seeming unified purpose at all.

Some GamerGaters were angry that video game journalism is a joke that isn't taken seriously by its own industry and that journalists within "video game news" can be easily bought off by money, favors, sex, etc, in exchange for positive and sometimes dishonest coverage. Others were mad at what they felt was intentional distortion of facts concerning the content of modern video games. Many others were flagrantly and openly anti-women. Point being that the "GamerGate" was a confusing social movement that lacked unity and a central purpose. Even those opposing the integrity of journalists in video game media had no clear structure or even an end goal; they seemed to largely just generally complain about the state of video game journalism. 

So what does this have to do with StoneToss and his stupid comic? Well, it's simple. He obviously felt GamerGate and its vague anti-feminism flavor was a good thing, if only misplaced. While gamers battled the nasty women and their influence in video games, the rest of the world was overrun with homosexuality, women and da tranz. GamerGate had some validity as a movement; it's not untrue to say that video game journalism is and always has been a far cry from the integrity of journalism as a whole. This is in part because covering video games involves a lot of subjective opinion rather than objective fact, but it stands that video game journalism could benefit to follow a much more stringent and self-imposed/self-upheld standard of professionalism and integrity.

But StoneToss doesn't care about that! No, to him it's just about how women and gay people are ruining western culture. He somehow finds a way to invalidate a social movement that was morbid enough to actually mirror his own stupid, infantile hatred and he somehow found a way to complain about how it was beneath him, or how he was smarter than it. You may even be lead to believe that all StoneToss cares about is convincing himself that he's smarter than other people; which is quite funny when one considers the fact that StoneToss is, indeed, a fucking idiot.
