Aren't there supposed to be rules about respectful behavior in that place? Or do those only apply to men?

I'm not clicking that.

Apparently it only applies to Republicans. I recall that mop top treating Fauci like shit several times in that place. :(

Cum edits of Ben Garrison are a thing.They're usually made by people who despise Ben and want to ridicule him.

I am saddened by how many comments in this subthread are starting with, "I don't like myself, but..." or similar.You guys are a smart, well-informed, funny, witty, and probably very attractive bunch, and one of the highlights of my dorky life is reading your comments.

Perhaps there's some sort of Dunning Kruger effect at work here? Because the people I know who *should* despise themselves (for a variety of reasons) invariably think they're just great.

Somehow, that's actually *worse* than if he had a warm-hearted, personal dislike for the people that he did this to. He doesn't consider them his enemies, he considers them nothing.

I don't know, the last song of his that got mashed up is now half of a crappy Kid Rock song.

This is what disco would have sounded like if 80% of it hadn't sucked and been lazy and simple-minded.

The artwork is real, "piss" and "cum" are changes made by someone who likes to take all of Garrison's cartoons and make them about cum. Hope this helps.

Not to mention the cleavage. Is this a trend? Is this why Alex Wagner, on her new MSNBC prime time show, is sometimes wearing something so low cut it hints of cleavage? Even Maddow, too, last week. Why don't the men wear shirts like that?

Well, intergenerational trauma is a motherfucker, sadly. :( That is my case, and I would suspect its the case of a lot of others here.

And I thought so to (re: your Dunning Krueger comment). There was a discussion here a few days ago or last week that had to do with most people overestimating themselves as 5 x more attractive than they actually are. I was like, "Wow. Who are these vain people? The vast majority of people I know (colleagues, friends, family members) are pretty self-deprecatory about stuff like that and if anything underestimate themselves in this manner). And another Wonker said, "That's a trauma response."

So, apparently if you have had a baseline "normal" childhood/parents/whatever, you should be closer to that than the "I hate myself" stance. But not sure.

And thank you so much for your kindness. It is much appreciated. <3

Oh, OK. It just seemed so danged bizarre.

For those who are not familiar with Ben Garrison's cartoons, he is an outright fascist, who portrays Trump as a muscular blond adonis, and insults minorities in the crassest way, not even bothering with dog whistles.

He's also extremely dumb, as when he drew a cartoon of Trump as Don Quixote tilting at windmills, completely missing the point of the book.

Because his cartoons very often have a weirdly sexualized component (particularly feet and asses), there is a subset of Ben Garrison anti-fans who ridicule his cartoons with cum edits.

Sidebar: He once joined a Ben Garrison page on FB, under the mistaken impression that it was a fan site, and got dragged to hell. My husband, who is one of the kindest and most low-key people I've ever met, actually called Ben a hack right to his stupid cowboy hatted face.
