Why did the Australian cartoonist draw Serena's opponent as a skinny white blonde? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Rod Liddle is a horrible fascist. Osaka's hair was dyed blonde during the US Open. Serena's skin is a lot lighter in the cartoon as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest) and they all manage to draw black women without going all holliwog on it. Doesn't matter if it's in full colour, B/W, cross hatched, RBI, line drawing: all these amateur cartoonists can draw people of all ethnicities, and make their ethnicity clear, without resorting to stereotypical tropes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hipster 'collective' fanzine or two from Peckham sets the standard of what's Acceptable for cartoonists at home, and in Australia.

It absolutely does include the 'left', though it's also 'liberals' as you point out, and various folk who have their brain infested with various 'Progressive' dogma, across the spectrum.

Tremendous, dangerous arrogance. No one said anything of the sort. You're either very dim or being purposefully belligerent by attempting to flip the meaning of what I say to suit your own narrow view point. Whatever works for you I'd say the, literally, hundreds of thousands of comics, cartoons, illustrations and other pictoral depictions of people of colour, over the course of centuries, that manage to draw them without the need to fall back onto lazy, racist stereotyping to poke fun at them sets the standard of what is acceptable for cartoonists at home and in Australia. Pointing out that some teenagers in Peckham armed with no more than a biro and a photocopier can manage it shows you how ridiculous it is that a professional cartoonist can't. Surely the dangerous arrogance is an Australian cartoonist, with a history and reputation for, at best, insensitive depictions of ethnic minorities deciding what is and isn't classified as racism is the dangerous arrogance? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are indeed plenty of cartoons that pass your offense filter and meet your saviour sensibilities. There are however free, liberal people who differ from you, and also folk who would take offense at what even you deem Acceptable. You're a 'racist' too, you understand? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Peckham's great craic. I always kinda dismissed it but there's some good restaurants, pubs, the cinema's only a fiver a pop, at least two Morley's Chicken takeaway shops, DIY Space Collective and that wee church near the Iceland that's always handing out free pastries. Shite transport links tho'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't talking directly about Peckham, Jeff. And I wasn't aware Peckham or any geographic locale had an intellectual monopoly on this or any topic, Jeff. I'm all ears, of course, Jeff...

The latest gonk to head this fringe interest group had a speech that was broadcast live, in its entirety on the BBC New channel today around midday. He announced, to probably the biggest cheer of the speech, that they would abolish the license fee and make this "PC, anti-free-speech establishment" accountable Sometimes I wonder what fucking planet I live on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
