If thousands of people are misinterpreting it then it’s time to consider that maybe you did not effectively convey your intent with the cartoon.

I am not sure why so many people are claiming this could be interpreted as a conservative cartoon making fun of BLM and people who wear masks. It’s very clear from the facial expressions with whom you’re supposed to sympathize, and it ain’t the white anti-masker.

I guess I’m not shocked that some White people find this offensive because we are the most fragile people ever, but I thought it was pretty on-the-nose.

I agree it wasn’t an effective cartoon - it shouldn’t be that ambiguous and open to many interpretations.

Really? I read it immediately as making fun of white people who minimize the problems black people face (and are the majority of supporters for the anti-science GOP). 

My “first glance” assessment was the opposite of yours and apparently many others. I’ve studied the image to see why and can’t put my finger on it, other than the word “silly.”

Your lack of comprehension and sensitivity underscores the artist’s point.

I call B.S. on anyone who allegedly thought this cartoon trivialized BLM. At best, they flunked basic reading comprehension. At worst, their continued ignorance and obliviousness to the impact of white supremacy and the pandemic on POC highlights the problem.

It reads as a jab at dumbass white ladies to me, and how they will try to run other people’s lives

“People feel “entitled” to summer, and they refused be denied.”

We were talking about this the other day. It’s one thing to keep people on lockdown in the US when it’s cold outside. But once we have weather above 60, I wonder how well social distance will be maintained?

I think it’s going to be real crazy once the…

embraced that everything is cancelled FOR NOW.

It’s the difference between “later” and “never”.

That’s an important distinction. Our lizard brain understands “never” and can/will panick. But it does not understand “later” as well.

I don’t mean forever. But it would be foolish to pin our hopes on specific end dates. 

No chance this ends soon. The US is probably one of the hardest countries to flatten a curve due to our distrust of authority and inability to act in favor of any other interests other than our own. People fight tooth and nail to maintain the ways of life they see fit, regardless of how that way of life could…

It’s not that you have nothing to look forward to. This will end eventually, as these things always do. The point is that if you are holding out hope that this is going to be over in two weeks, it’s a false hope, and you’re only hurting yourself with it.

Eh, I don’t think the outlook is quite that bleak. I think going forward, we’re going to see a much larger cultural shift towards socializing online, which has been a trend for over a decade already. Sure, there’s a certain sort of thrill to gathering with 80,000 other like-minded people to experience a singular…

In the opinions of the health organizations fighting a pandemic, you fucking dingus.

I’m sorry, but, yeah, you shouldn’t do that. Move in for the interim or stay apart, however much that sucks.

It’s the recommendation of essentially every health authority. Rachel is just telling you to grow the fuck up.

Our fucking neighborhood started a god damn running club with over 25 people in it... to past them time.

The golden rule applies, as do it’s derivatives.
