Smug Opportunists as Jesus? If you ever needed proof that these folks objectify righteousness, look no further than the fact that DEI hires stole their opportunity to be a savior.
What, the actual.....fuk is wrong with these people!!!
This joke falls for Poe's Law pretty hard. It's impossible to know if this conservatives trying to make fun of DEI, or satire making fun of conservatives.
"without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views."
It seems the words "clear" and "any" are causing some levels of confusion here.
Well let's put in a little effort and find out. The author of the work is Stan Kelly who works for The Onion. The Onion is one of the world's most popular English language satire publications. Looking into Stan Kelly he's actually a character created by cartoonist Ward Sutton.
The joke about Kelly is that his cartoons are unintentionally revealing of his personal life and total ignorance. While you could see this cartoon out of context and mistake it for being genuine looking at Kelly's body of work and the magazine it's published in it's not hard to find out.
It's poking fun at conservatives who make comics like this because nothing in it makes sense at all and they always try to allegory something against what it actually was. Trying to fit a narrative that makes no sense is the point.
I can't imagine drawing that and thinking "yeah this is the one"
Also if you have to give everything a little label in order for people to understand what you're trying to say, you shouldn't be a political cartoonist. Utter cringe.
