Antisemitism[edit]

the explanation about usury is slightly incorrect; torah also forbade usury, but only between jews. jews lending with interest w/ goyim is fine.— Unsigned, by: Pontaoski / talk / contribs 01:13, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Loans and interest in JudaismWikipedia states "The Torah and Talmud encourage lending money without interest. But the halakha (Jewish law) that prescribes interest-free loans applies to loans made to other Jews, however not exclusively." Nonetheless I agree- I'll make a change to say "Halakha (Jewish law) did not prohibit usury to goyim (non-Jews) however, which allowed them to earn quite a bit of money by filling that niche."Kauri0.o (talk) 01:20, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Bitcoin[edit]

needs his bitcoin comic too http://archive.is/HEotK - David Gerard (talk) 09:03, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

"Funny"[edit]

Honestly his comics are hilarious, you all really need to chill a bit with the "hate" thing. — Unsigned, by: 37.165.11.41 / talk / contribs

Ah yes, because misogynist neo-Nazi rhetoric based entirely on delusions of superiority isn't hate. Sure. 73.81.126.6 (talk) 22:10, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Occam's Razor[edit]

The expanded image captions[edit]

I feel it's better when these captions are far shorter comebacks because I don't think GraniteDrop deserves them. --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 22:45, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Well if you argued that it looks bad (as in, image captions have smaller letters therefore it looks ugly), I would understand. On the other hand, I do think sometimes people only mock reactionaries without giving the reason why they suck. For instance, the trans suicide one being about trans people "are mentally ill" when in fact gender discrimination and societal acceptance, a study about it was linked by me, could help someone argue online. Tl;dr it's not good form for ratwiki to just make fun of stonetoss without debunking his harmful nonsense. — Godless Raven SDAPOe logo.svg talkstalkwalkbalk 🌹 Flag of Europe.svg 02:57, 25 June 2020 (UTC)


Soy[edit]

Best to be factually correct. Soy is a well-researched phytoestrogen because of its high isoflavone content. Second sentence in subheading "Structure". Wiki link — Unsigned, by: 154.21.212.19 / talk / contribs

Bitcoin[edit]

In bitcoin comic one person rides the bitcoin wave up while the other keeps derriding the first one because bitcoin is a bubble. It got added here because bitcoin bubble burst in 2018, proving the doubter right. Since than bitcoin took off again, is higher priced than it was ever before. Until it bursts again this section is counterproductive to the message the entire article wants to send (one could even say - wrong). — Unsigned, by: 83.29.147.161 / talk

Possibly excessive amount of comics[edit]

It's one thing to be good commentary but it's another thing to be a host of commentary. Maybe it's just me, but the presentation of this page comes off as excessive. I don't like how it looks either. But for starters, I think we can do without the suicide one, that's too abhorrent for this wiki and we already know how transphobic he is from the other visceral diarrhea he substitutes for ink on his drawings. --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 23:29, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

We could possibly rewrite it so that he have a couple sections on his views, how he conveys them, and how his comics spread and then put the comics in a (possibly collapsed) gallery. I think it's important to show even the worst ones so that we can show just how utterly evil this person's views are, for example the Holocaust denial one is also really abhorrent but is needed to show that he is a Nazi. Casually joking about trans suicides goes way beyond ordinary transphobia, and it is important to show that he is not just bigoted but outright hateful. Plutocow (talk) 23:48, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
What he shows is indeed vile, repugnant, abominable, abhorrent, disgusting, atrocious, horrific, and every other of the most depraved synonyms, and I don't want to downplay any of that, but I don't want the content surprising and disturbing more vulnerable readers. Probably can use a content warning then. But do you know any comics we should trim out? --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 03:41, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
We should replace that comic. Something else could work better. Koafox (talk) 14:32, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
