    racism, sexism, and other poor behavior

    Is there any of that here? No, so you’re reaching & pulling shit out your ass.

    Point out what in the comic conveys a definite opinion/judgement/attitude/stance toward the depicted subject. Anyone can see no opinion is indicated: it’s nonjudgemental & leaves unspecified how you should feel.

    The only judgements “there” are those you project onto the author apropos of nothing.

    Is the author seriously claiming there’s a high incidence of brawls in the subway or posing other scientific assertions? Not necessarily: the comedic irony still works without that assumption.

    Is Naked Gun claiming anything serious about police procedures & crime? Likewise, no, and I think we know that.

    The judgement seems premature or poorly supported and somewhat masturbatory & contrived. It’s tedious. Ignoring basics of how these genres work is pretense.

    Whenever I see contrived pretense like that I’m going to ridicule & criticize it.

      The idea that cities are dangerous crime areas full of violence is a racist trope.

      Hold on. Like how old are you? I’m going to feel bad if I’m engaging with like a 15 year old who’s never taken Literature 200.
