SJW Art and Extremes

[Grand Duke Snowfall]

Weren't there other businesses kinda like that in the past? made by naïve leftist with a very childish understanding of capitalism and ended up shutting on in a matter of months.

Yeah, I’ve found articles for a handful of them on the Farms. Mina’s World is probably one of the most famous examples.

UK Thread 'Glasgow queer, Yiddish, anarchist, vegan, pay-what-you-can cafe to close 'with heavy heart''

Jun 7, 2023

Link | Archive

A queer, Yiddish, anarchist café in the south side which offered coffees and vegan food on a pay-what-you-can basis has announced it is to close in a heartfelt post on its website.

The Pink Peacock Cafe on Victoria Road in Govanhill opened in 2020 as a late-night dry (non-alcoholic) queer café and community space selling plant-based Jewish food.

However, in a post on their website, they revealed that were being forced to close in part due to "burnout" but also due to "right-wing backlash", "antisemitic vitriol" and harassment.

They posted: "We’re so sad...

UK Thread 'The strange death of east London’s most radical bookshop'

Aug 13, 2025

It was 4am on the 1st of July as Jack Parker bolted upright in the basement below the Scarlett Letters bookshop. From above, Parker could hear drilling. Then a “thunderstorm” of footsteps. Startled and bleary-eyed, they hurriedly dressed, then crept up the stairs into the main bookshop. What they saw “horrified” them.

Dozens of people hurriedly packing books into boxes and unscrewing bookshelves. Amongst the torrent of people, maybe the strangest thing they noticed was the face of Blaise Agüera y Arcas: author, AI researcher and the vice president of Google’s research arm. Peculiar though...

Culture Thread 'Mina’s World and the Line Between Representation and Tokenization'

Jun 15, 2022

ForFor once, Sonam Parikh would like to be written about for being the best. “Not just the gay best,” Parikh says, sitting on the curb in the backyard of Mina’s World, the coffee shop that Parikh runs with their business partner Kate Egghart. “But the best.” The menu at Mina’s World — from the house-made cardamom syrup to the pea-and-tofu samosas — is what makes it notable, Parikh says. “We’re an incredible cafe with incredible recipes. We really believe in the stuff that we’re making.”

In a moment of reflection while Egghart and Parikh’s small, sweet dog Joon...

Saw this reposted on Facebook, and while it's technically Very Woke™ it's actually pretty normal about it and I thought it was funny. Especially when there are new pride flags every other damn day, a colorblind person struggling to tell them apart is just funny.

Holy shit, a pride comic that's actually funny!? I thought I would never seen the light of day.

This is froma tread about Trans deer girls.

So stupid, deer antlers fall off once a year anyway, AND they grow back. A tranny deer can just wait for spring and his antlers will fall off by themselves, and even if he cuts off his antlers throughout the year they will always grow back. That's not comparable to human genitals.

This is the first pride comic I've seen where I genuinely sympathize with the protagonist, kek.
I'm pretty sure this is meant to be funny and not make a point, but it does make me think about how there's always constant sperging over "accessibility" and "inclusivity" in art communities. But I can count on one hand how many times I've seen people talk about making art accessible to colorblind people. The only ones I have seen are professionals.

I doubt the artist intended it, but I saw it as demonstrating how Chasers are repressed fags. Even without the antlers, the "Deergirl" has broad shoulders and the same height as the man, no point in removing them either way.

It seems that Prolactin is currently focused on her “anti capitalist pizza samurai cats”. This comic showcases how Pizza Riot operates.

Ignoring that owning a private business is inherently capitalist, I think recent history has done plenty to show why August is right despite being presented as a strawman dick. I’ve heard so many stories of radical, social justice, anti capitalist, pay what you can businesses (usually coffee shops or cafes) dying painfully from things like infighting, financial struggles, policies that hurt staff and customer, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I love supporting small businesses and community is great, but The Message and good feels won’t buy ingredients or keep the lights on. Donald Tru-I mean, Dumpy Tad and his union busters don’t even need to do anything. Pizza Riot will go the way of places like Mina’s World in a couple years at best, their mounted debts probably paid off by the Bank of Mom and Dad. I’m already predicting that lazy bitch Raven will be the joint’s downfall.
Side note, I was playing around with making a containment thread for CaptProlactin if it ever feels like I’m bringing her up too often. I just don’t think she’s enough of a sperg to warrant a proper lolcow thread (yet) a la Ellen Woodbury.

The fact that they show clear favoritism among customers is disturbing. If they were truly anti-capitalist, they would consider that people like August are working and might need their food fast to get by at work.

Just wait until they find out in communism, nothing is truly yours. No thanks. I'd take the capitalism where things can truly belong to me.

That always bothers me, especially too when their pages have custom text or colors that are tiny, poor contrast, eye searing, etc. Like goddamn you claim to care about the disabled but my nearsighted ass can't see shit on your page. I'm not even that bad off, how would someone more impaired see it??

Found this short comic of a woman cutting her hair short and having a gender panic attack. 138k likes screams astroturf.





Most of the comments are so bizarre to me. They talk about how they had insecurities with shorter hair which made them discovered they were trans. Are people so fucking sheltered now that they think shorter hair = not a girl? The insane part about this is that when you call these people out on it, they'll then cop out and go "women can have short hair" OP even replied to a comment by a TIF calling her out on this and her response was "Length of hair has nothing to do with gender" So then why did she bring up gender in half the pages and is acting like cutting hair gave her "Gender euphoria"?

shorter hair = not a girl?

"Length of hair has nothing to do with gender"

These are the same people that scream "GENDER IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT" or "CLOTHES/HAIRSTYLES DON'T HAVE GENDERS" and say this type of crap in the same breath.

Honest to God the gendie cult has made it so if you're a girl with shorter hair, you are seen as genderspecial by default. I get they themmed all the time. I'm a pretty bog-standard woman, just with short hair. No other gender special indicator. It's pretty annoying.

Hairstyles have no gender except when they do.

Also, she didnt even cut her hair that short, honestly if she didnt pointed out the haircut I would have not noticed

Yeah like what exactly was her comic even about then? Her profile even shows she prefers any pronouns. (even though she states she's non binary) So why did she make it clear that she had anxiety issues over her gender and the way people see her in the 3rd shot if she also makes it clear that she doesn't care how people see her with any pronouns?

 

[Random fucking rat]

Genderfluid is one identity that really annoys me. Every time I see people bring it up they basically admit that it's a trend and not a serious identity. Whats frustrating is that you can't even have a conversation with people as to how it's valid when I've yet to meet a genderfluid person experiencing gender dysphoria. I know their argument now is that you don't need dysphoria to be trans but how can anyone know it's legit? I don't even remember hearing a story about a genderfluid girl getting suicidal if she was denied wearing boy clothing. So why the trans community doesn't call these people out when these young people clearly can change back to their original birth gender on the spot is beyond me.

(Powerlevel) I also talked to a “””genderfluid””” girl before, basically her explanation was that said that she “feels masculine” when she wants to feel cool and badass sometimes. And her “gender” was like a liquid/fluid instead of a solid object like mine was. () But the all of the time she would wear pink dresses. She even had a little tote bag. So like, what time of thebday are you masculine? Do you coordinate it or do you get a spidy-sense at random, going: “Im a man for a few hours now.” And then you draw a mustache on your face with the nearest sharpie? Because thats how I see it.

Theres also another gender identity genderfluids like to use, Where they feel like a woman in the daytime and a man at night. I forgot what its called.

this is real by the way.

Simple:

She just wants people to know shes “special”. and not like other girls. Thats it. But doesnt feel like going through the hassle of going by he/him only. Shes one of those gendies who have she/they in their bios, or on button pins on their shirts. even though people will call them “they” regardless because thats how english works.

For gendies, its like a shibboleth to other gendies to signal that theyre woke too. I have short blue hair, Call me “they”, So I can technically be twansdwender and dont even have to surgically mod my body. give me attention.

 

[Mary Lee Harvey osWalsh]

Is it just me, or do virtually none of these comics go by the "show, don't tell" philosophy? It's just words, words, words, talking about self-indulgent bullshit accompanied by some shitty doodles. The book Gender Queer was the worst offender of this - just a bunch of self-indulgent words about how self-important they are with some bad illustrations.

SAME. I get so much shit for being a fat woman with short hair. Hell, if anyone's gonna make melodramatic comics about what people assume of you because of your hair, it should be girls like us that get the short end of the stick.

Comic about a twenty two year old skipping college because they were literally genocided and marginalized by a group of guys wearing hats.




Now imagine how we feel when we watch you all walk around in fetish gear in your pride parades around kids.

“There was a group of guys laughing and whispering to their friends…” Maybe because it was a fucking festival. They posted this on aug 18th.



Thank god they avoided the situation. Just a few days ago one of those bigoted alt-right nazis shot up a catholic church. Wait a minute…

Calling it now, the most that happened is that they looked at OP weird and that was enough to get them drawing yet another trauma dump comic.

Same here, I used to have really short hair (so short that some of you would probably call me a dyke, lmao) and would constantly be they/themmed. I'd be pulled aside by people and singled out with pronouns while the other women I'd hang around weren't ever questioned. I started growing out my hair more because I was sick of it, but I'm now comfortable with longer hair because you can style it in a lot of fun ways. But it was, and still is, so grating how genderspecials will preach about how "appearance/clothes/makeup/etc. doesn't equal gender", "you can't assume someone's trans", and so forth... but they're constantly assuming. They assume you must be genderspecial and, now that my hair is grown, assume that I'm not.

Why is it always the weed smoking, furry, brony trannies who are like this? On second thought, don’t answer that.
