The one saying "yes please" to "first they came for communists" while claiming to be a real socialist? It's the only one that might look like eyeliner although I thought it's just a smug expression.

How is cheering on Nazis coming for communists not on the same level of shittiness as the rest? Also how is dunking on that puritanical or misogynistic?

    OOP here.

    Can confirm, “smug expression” is exactly what I was going for. I drew all their eyes on a creative whim, not because I was trying to denote sex/gender. I just wanted all the stick figures to have unique faces, so I started getting creative with their eye shapes.

    The thought of sex/gender never even crossed my mind while I was drawing this ugly little masterpiece, so these stick figures are definitely all sexless/genderless creations.

    Warms my heart to see my poorly-drawn political cartoon making its way around :’D

    No sorry I think you're confused, I added a Wikipedia link for context to my previous reply. I don't think that character was meant to be female or feminist, I think it's just a character claiming to be a socialist while hating communists so much they applaud literal Nazi anti-communist wich hunts, something we see a lot currently with western lib "left"

    You mean they are attacking socialists for having sex with communists? Nah sorry I think that's a stretch.

    The "came for" is very clearly referring to the persecution of communists in reference to the poem it is quoting.

    There's nothing sexual about it. There's nothing misogynistic about it. It is a caricature of an anti-communist "socialist".

    They are celebrating anti-communism from the Left. It's not subtle so I don't understand how you missed it.
