    Salon.com has nothing to do with racism either. It’s just a known progressive news website they’re referencing to imply they have opposing political views.

    Blunt version: straight male bad, conservative = racist

    I’m actually kind of curious how you’re interpreting this comic though

      How do you know the guy is a conservative? The image mentions nothing about politics

        Their opposing political views are implied by the salon article-sharing progressive woman vs. straight white conservative man. He’s a cartoon man in a single comic panel. If they’re not relying on stereotypes here I’m gonna need the joke explained to me

          I see a woman tolerant of racism while denying it and a racist man. The conservative part I’m guessing you extrapolated by the thought that it is a regressive trait and therefore more likely to be a conservative?

              Yeah, it is political, when your politics come down to “woke” vs “antiwoke”.

              I’m starting to understand why today’s “conservatives” see a brutal dictator like putin as a hero. It doesn’t matter what he does, since he is “antiwoke”.

                No I think he had a mysterious conspiratorial political connection in a website she mentioned?
