Quite deep cartoon for merkin flappers.

[lechiffre55]

I though some merkin flappers might enjoy this cartoon from FB.

I went to his site and had a look. There were some funny cartoons. Some really were sharp and pointed- but humour and commentary often are.
I might be missing the misogyny and antisemitism. I saw ‘anti religious’ posts, but they don’t particularly bother me. I’m Christian. I know other people don’t respect religion.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of his cartoons which are by nature living in the borderline of acceptable, slip over the lines at times. I don’t think that makes him antisemitic or misogynist. Just that he misjudges the line at times. People do.

This is probably the most "anti-semitic" one I found in the time I could be bothered to scroll. All I'm seeing is criticism of USA's support of Israel in the Middle East conflicts.

Me too! I blame the parents. Too much at a young age. Mind you my sister expressed her hatred the best, but attempting to bust out of my mother at 8 months in utero during a day long production of the ring.

missed the image sorry

Well you seem to be the only person saying that others shouldn't appreciate this cartoon separate to his other work.

I think it's possible to do that, you don't, fine. I would not like to be so absolutist.

Sorry are we assuming the artist's gender?
I thought that wasn't allowed?

I haven't said anyone should or shouldn't do anything. I've said some people may wish to be aware before they unknowingly amplify his work. As a Jewish woman I choose to be absolutist about antisemitism and misogyny. You do you.

This cartoon is not misogynistic at all.

So it's nothing to do with this cartoon taking the piss out of trans identifying men & all about cartoons that I haven't seen that are misogynistic & antisemitic?

You do realise that if you hadn't made such a big fuss that people would have just laughed at the cartoon and moved on. Now it's become a talking point, and keeping the thread going. You are generating publicity for the artist.

Please don't go on a mission to post antisemitic memes here to decide if any of them are antisemitic "enough" for you. He has multiple that have holocaust denial myths and lots of anti Israel memes that contain antisemitic tropes.

No you're generating publicity by posting his work. I'm just making people aware he hates Jews.

Is there a reason you are so anti anyone being against antisemitism that you're arguing to stop me sharing my opinion and trying to twist my intentions? I can't possibly be GC if I post against spreading artists who propagate antisemitism? Ridiculous purity spiral

LOL What is a ridiculous purity spiral is coming on here decrying other works by this guy when we were just laughing at this particular cartoon. I haven't seen these misogynistic & antisemitic cartoons nor do want to. I wouldn't even know they existed if you hadn't highlighted the fact.

Wow. The only thing worse than watching The Ring Cycle would be watching it while in active labour.

I'm only commenting on the cartoon in the OP and using a Wiki entry to call someone names, I don't know their work, and not that interested in following up on their work.

I disagree, I think anyone who is reminding people that they're sharing and amplifying an antisemitic artist means they're not GC is an odd purity spiral. You may not want to see the others, but you also may share his work and wonder why your Jewish friends take issue. As you say if no one tells you what stops a piece of work going viral with everyone sharing it not knowing they're spreading an antisemite. I don't think antisemitism is ever a purity spiral issue to be against, especially in this climate but you do you.

I love the Ride of the Valkyries.

'reminding people that they're sharing and amplifying an antisemitic artist means they're not GC'

Eh?

I've not posted anything antisemitic on here. You mischaracterise my intent in saying "don't go on a mission to post antisemitic memes". An accusation was made of antisemitism, I was off to see for myself. Your choice to mischaracterise my intent hints to me of bad faith argument.

😱

💥

You've given him more publicity than anyone else on here. If we'd just stuck to laughing at the cartoon in the OP, I doubt that any of us would have looked at his website. I went and had a look after your posts just to see if there was any substance in what you were saying.

I'd never have given the website a click if it hadn't been for your posts. The Streisand effect in action. Does he pay you for the publicity? He should.

Sentences tend to make more sense when you read them in their entirety not quote half our of context

Ah yes, publicity that you're a neo nazi antisemite is such positive publicity . You may not have looked at his website but someone else may have and may not be aware how harmful antisemitic tropes are. I mean OP already said they don't think anti Israeli memes are necessarily antisemitic even in this climate. You just seem mad people made it clear he's a nazi, which I think should be more.public knowledge then maybe people might see his memes and think before sharing them. You're applying a very weird double standard here, I've found out about lots of people's dangerous comments about women on this forum no one has ever suggested they're giving the person publicity when they highlight anti woman things someone has said but point out someone's a nazi and you're acting like I've ruined your day. Disagree and think a silly cartoon is so worth defending against misogyny and Jew hate with your whole chest of you want - but your argument I'm somehow boosting his career by pointing out his antisemitism says more about you then me.

I suppose when you know something - and Princessblackberry knows things about Stone Toss that I didn't - it's impossible to un-know it.

It's just a funny and perceptive cartoon to many, but it's part of the oeuvre of someone who has produced racist and antisemitic work to others, e.g. Princessblackberry.

I hope you don't mind me speaking for/about you like this but I presume Princessblackberry can't go back to not knowing his other work, and taking his cartoons lightly.

Neither can I, now. But there are plenty more cartoonists in the sea
