      That’s not an argument, bruh. You’re just telling me you don’t understand genres that aren’t meant to be treated seriously.

      Also confirming your rigid, narrowminded inability to accept that by claiming those who do accept that need literacy. In other words, cool projection.

      But please, go on. Prove your 1 true irrefutable interpretation of this comic that isn’t built on shaky suppositions & wankery.

        Why are you fixated on “taking seriously”?

        “It’s just a joke bro” has never been an excuse for (for example) racism, sexism, and other poor behavior.

          racism, sexism, and other poor behavior

          Is there any of that here? No, so you’re reaching & pulling shit out your ass.

          Point out what in the comic conveys a definite opinion/judgement/attitude/stance toward the depicted subject. Anyone can see no opinion is indicated: it’s nonjudgemental & leaves unspecified how you should feel.

          The only judgements “there” are those you project onto the author apropos of nothing.

          Is the author seriously claiming there’s a high incidence of brawls in the subway or posing other scientific assertions? Not necessarily: the comedic irony still works without that assumption.

          Is Naked Gun claiming anything serious about police procedures & crime? Likewise, no, and I think we know that.

          The judgement seems premature or poorly supported and somewhat masturbatory & contrived. It’s tedious. Ignoring basics of how these genres work is pretense.

          Whenever I see contrived pretense like that I’m going to ridicule & criticize it.

            The idea that cities are dangerous crime areas full of violence is a racist trope.

            Hold on. Like how old are you? I’m going to feel bad if I’m engaging with like a 15 year old who’s never taken Literature 200.
