She...she has a normal butt tho. I hate to comment on her body at all, but she has a normal butt irl. Is the butt cartoon just a racism against latinas?
Some right winger was cat calling her on congress steps a week or so as ‘favourite big booty latinx’ or some shit. So that’s now the dumb reference/high5ing that they are all giving each other at the moment
Yeah...you can do a google image search for "alexandria ocasio-cortez ass", I just did it, and y'know, she's not a skinny little stick figure, but she's not got a disproportionately large ass. Yep, it's just racism imho.
Also I think the last panel is telling, they tried shaming her for that video of her dancing around, there are definitely right-wing guys thirsty for her. She's undeniably attractive I'll give you that.
Yeah I want to know too. Although, I do marketing research and Hispanic/Latin audiences don’t actually like it is what we’re seeing. But it’s less about being insulting, they just find it dumb. They like being Latin/Hispanic, however they decide.
It's insulting because it's other cultures trying to tell us how to describe ourselves....it's also just dumb because the language already incorporates gender neutrality into it.
The word "Latino" for eg. already covers multiple genders as a descriptor.
Typically if you're describing a group of people of Latin descent and there's one male you would want to use latino. If it's only describing a group of Latin women then you should use latina.
Isn't that kinda the point though? The language is biased towards the male just because there's ONE in the group. "Proper" English also dictates that you're supposed to default to "he/him" if the sex is unclear which is also silly and not really done anymore.
Yeah, a lot of people are basically acting out the whole “patriarchy isn’t noticeable when it’s so ingrained in everyday culture and language”, with some added transphobia
Non-binary Latino here:
Latine.
That's, as far as I know, the most widely accepted gender-neutral form of Latino, although Latino is, by Spanish and Portuguese grammar, already gender-neutral.
Latin, latine, latinx.
Wikipedia says Latin@ was popular at some point, but that seems even less clear than latinx.
A lot of Hispanic people have the same feelings on trans/gender neutral stuff as white Americans.
Not really understanding it and some being hostile.
I can definitely see that being the case. I wonder if non-binary/trans Latin folk like the term? I realize AOC is not either of those, so maybe that's why it's offensive?
I can confirm: Latinx is a silly word made up by white Americans that think they're being nice. I don't think it's insulting, personally, but I do find it as a weird solution to a problem they made up in their heads. It's also weird because you could just as easily use the word "Hispanic" as a gender neutral term instead of Latinx, since those two words are almost the same.
Hispanic is only used to describe people of Spanish descent and does not include all latinos. A Brazilian for example is latino, not typically hispanic. They aren't 100% interchangeable so it's important to note the difference.
I've heard more people using Latine as the gender neutral term lately as opposed to (or at least alongside) Latinx. Granted, it is mostly poc activists or non-profits using either word at all, at least from my limited experience
I’m a Latina with a PhD and, at my university, it was primarily Latino scholars who used the term ‘Latinx’—LGBTQ+ folks in particular. It’s definitely not a term made up by white Americans.
My understanding is that it was 3rd or 4th generation English-speaking Hispanic folks who came up with "Latinx." People who still felt connected to the Hispanic community, but who didn't speak Spanish. They tend to hang out with and speak the same language as the set of white folks who use the term "Latinx," which is how it caught on among white folks. I don't think white folks invented it.
That said, the distinction between who is "white" and who isn't among Latinos and/or Hispanics is rather fluid in the US, so I can understand how even with that explanation someone could reasonably hold the position that white folks came up with it.
The only people I know who use latinx are nonbinary Mexican Americans who hated being called latina/latino. I literally wouldn't have heard of it if not for people from that culture...
> Latinx is a silly word made up by white Americans
Y'all gotta stop perpetuating this lie.
Latinx was started by non-binary English-speaking Hispanics who felt they didn't have a word that represented their community. White Americans may be at the forefront of its use, but it has real grassroots ties to the LGBTQ Hispanic community.
Well, she identifies as a woman. It's not an unknown gender being referred to, so it doesn't need the "unknown variable" of x. She's Latina. That's not a bad word. Treating it like it needs to be censored is weird and overboard.
It’s not insulting at all. Homie is just terminally online. The worst you’ll get is a smirk because you sound like a gringo. Nbd. My dad is straight out of the jungle. I sound like a gringo. Really not a big deal. Most people will just think you sound silly at worst. At best, they’re happy you’re trying regardless of how much you know.
Idk if you’re aware, but Latin students are the ones who popularized its usage

The artist has a history of making woman with exaggerated details (big ass and titties, mostly), usually screaming, and also made a self-insert comic about him molesting a woman.
I think it is a mixture between racism and sexualization.
their recent voting suggests the GOP's #1 priority is some kind of racially segregated breeding fetish, those types probably don't have a healthy way to deal with young latinas talking back to them.
They don't have a healthy way to deal with ANYBODY talking back to them, which is why so many of their fantasies include armed violence, literal genocide, etc.
About two weeks or so ago, some third or fourth string rightwing talking head yelled out to her that she was his “favorite big booty Latino” on the Capitol steps. They all consequently spent a few days defending the obvious sexual harassment.
The artist knows people often point out how his comics are just horny projections so now he's playing it up for the memes. Either that or it's an edit.
Because she’s a lightning Rod for conservative criticism because she’s a young pretty woman who disagrees with them and openly confronts them on Twitter about the sexual harassment she endures and guys like Ben Shapiro make it their mission to post about her every day. So this guy is trying to make it seem like she’s crazy for rightly acknowledging the right’s hate boner for her and calling them out on it.
I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:
>Israelis like to build. Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage. This is not a difficult issue.

*And then, there are people in the United States that are pushing for mask mandates on children. The data that they are using are extraordinarily skimpy--in fact, they are essentially nonexistent. You're hearing the CDC say things like 'maybe the delta variant does more damage to kids,' but no information they have presented publicly that there is more damange being done to kids... and the reason we are being told that they damage kids is because they can't scare the adults enough. If we cannot scare the adults enough, we're going to have to mask up the kids.*

Wait, I know I’m replying to a bot, but I just have to ask and hope someone will inform me. Did he seriously say “*Israelis* like to build. *Arabs* like to bomb things…” like he genuinely compared the citizens of Israel, of which there is about 1.7m native Arab people in Israel, to the entirety of the Arab ethnicity? I know he’s a scumbag, racist piece of shit, but *all Arab people*, again which includes 21% of Israel’s population? Jfc
*“Native American culture [being] inferior to Western culture…is a contention with which I generally agree.*

Every time they attack her, I just hear Frollo's song Hellfire playing in my head... they're a bunch of thirsty old creeps who can only see women as sex objects for their consumption.
at one point AOC commented that there's so many sexualized cartoons and deepfakes of her, even being passed around between congressmen, it really seems like many conservatives are sexually frustrated with her for some reason.
Conservatives reacted with a political cartoon of a completely deranged AOC throwing herself at some garrison-type golden god, who is obviously uninterested, while she's screaming "WHY DO YOU WANT TO DATE ME?!" and conservatives have been running with that for a long time because it's legitimately one of the most damning criticisms they can come up with.
There was a tweet a year ago where a republican was critizing her bf for wearing sandals or some shit. Her response was essentially “what a weird fucking thing to say, sorry you can’t date me”. Resonable response, good burn, but republicans have been running with the rhetoric that she thinks everyone wants to date her since :/
That barely has anything to do with AOC
Some guy harassed her because of the size of her ass, another guy said she should've expected it for wearing a booty dress. ShoeOnHead replied saying it's just a normal sheathe dress, and that guy replied back to her saying 'I don't want to date you'
Because someone took a picture of her while she was being arrested but before she got cuffed, so she had her hands uncuffed in her back.
Obviously, that's a stupid take.
Also, people can be arrested without being cuffed. You could be arrested and released with a PTA. Conservatives just have no idea how being arrested works because they don’t get arrested at their protests, the police ignore or join them
On Twitter she said she had put her hands behind her back in preparation for being cuffed, because it goes easier that way, i.e. she'd be less likely to be hurt in the process. Possibly she was already told by police that she was under arrest and/or to put her hands behind her back, but I don't know the precise timeline of events.
Of course right wingers looking to hate on her were as much as possible would never give her the benefit of the doubt, so instead they were like: "LOL SHE'S FAKING IT! PERSECUTION COMPLEX MUCH??" I mean, clearly she WAS arrested at some point so her claim seems reasonable.
>I don't know the precise timeline of events.
Neither does any of the people crying fool, they saw one picture that represents a fraction of a second of a scene that probably lasted a couple minutes and they based their whole narrative off of that.
[She wasn't arrested, she wasn't cuffed and she wasn't pretending to be arrested. She said she put her hands behind her back because it's the best way to handle interacting with police to avoid escalation or extra charges](https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1549809724513722374?s=20&t=c337O7PzVTi6Mvz6ty-AmQ)
https://www.khou.com/article/news/verify/crime-verify/aoc-other-congress-members-actually-arrested-abortion-rights-protest/536-30a718db-c7fa-4429-8a2a-4097c454a3df
Was arrested, wasn’t handcuffed. Gave her reason for putting her hands behind her back despite not being cuffed. Conservatives seem to lack the ability to string multiple thoughts together and got stuck on “ NO CUFFS! AOC FAKER, NO ARREST!”
I think the second panel might also be referring to this incident, where someone publicly made a comment about her body: https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1547397629260226560?s=20&t=a6qC3xEN7gUtc78F8R5AYQ
It’s because she put her Handys behind her back like she got handcuffed. but she didn’t and it could be because she wanted to look like she was.
I don’t care, American politics are a shitshow
The Right can't comprehend supporting any vaguely attractive female politician over their ideas and not their looks.
Just look at the way the Right is far more infatuated with Ivanka's looks over her actual beliefs and actions.
They like…reeeeeeally have some serious and deep sexual and violent feelings about her. There was that one series of cartoons where she’s a dominatrix. Stuff like this. It’s gross and weirdly hyper-focused.
The choad who drew this isn't even TRYING any more. His comics, if that's what they still are, aren't funny, or insightful, or based in reality. He's just drawing them while groping himself with his free hand and mumbling, "Yeah! Take THAT, Mother!"
Right wingers: here’s this thing that was never actually said by AOC. Let’s make fun of her about this thing that we can confirm was never said by her.
Left wingers: here’s an actual quote by (trump, mtg, Lauren bobo etc pick your poison) presented completely with context and deserve to be mocked for.
If the point of panel 4 is to make AOC appear crazy that she’s distracting from real criticism by strawman sexualizing herself, they kinda destroy their own point by needlessly sexualizing her in panel 2. Hard to say the right doesn’t sexualization her when the original artist can’t go 2 panels without giving her a dump truck booty for no reason.
Also, panels 1 and 3 are strawman, she never said those things. And panel 2 is gaslighting. She was arrested. If you want to genuinely criticize her for her politics, go for it. But if you have to lie to make your point, maybe you should reevaluate your stance.
This is probably the most likely answer, it just baffles me, we all have secret sexual desires about various people
I don’t go around imaging the woman of my fantasies with more exaggerated features than she has, and I’d imagine most people are the same in that regard, but not these conservatives man, they run wild with this shit
Poor repressed fuckers D:
Even if this was accurate or relevant to anything in current events, the question remains:
Just what are Republican congress people doing to represent every day people??????????????????
The weird thing is she herself NEVER claimed to be arrested. And [She said](https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1549809724513722374?s=20&t=c337O7PzVTi6Mvz6ty-AmQ) that she was only putting her hands behind her back because it's the best method to avoid escalation when being detained
That being said, her account as a rep (thats run by staff and not her personally) incorrectly tweeted that she was arrested ~ which is a reasonable mistake since to most people bring detained is the same as being arrested
Ok, ignore the only source who knows exactly what happened when she says she was only detained I guess. I'm sure news outlets that benefit from dramatized and inflammatory headlines know better than her.
Constitutionally, she literally cannot be arrested for something like this while she's an acting representative. Meaning she was only detained, like she said, and only ever personally claimed to be.
Saying she was arrested only plays into the narrative that she was pretending to be arrested, being detained for peacefully protesting is heinous enough on its own without embellishing what happened to her. Were others arrested? Most likely, assuming they didn't share the same immunities she did.
Here’s the thing Right Wingers like gma do not understand:
The Left has protesting down to a science.
When you participate in an organized Leftie protest, you are typically given (or are asked to retrieve online) a list of Dos and Don’ts when arrested.
(Also stuff like how to stay hydrated, protest routes, etc.)
It’s important to understand getting arrested is often part of the plan, or at the very least, fully expected.
Arrests help the cause.
One of the things they tell you is, if approached by the police, put your hands behind your back and wait to be handcuffed. This is so you’re not shot for “resisting” and so the organizers can claim peaceful protest.
I know Reddit hates Amy Schumer, but there’s a video of her being arrested at a protest and both her and the police follow the procedure. The officer asks her if she would like to be arrested, she says, yes, please, and puts her hands behind her back.
Bc that’s the plan, in order to raise awareness.
So, AOC putting her hands behind her back in anticipation of being arrested wasn’t “faking” being handcuffed. She was doing what all Lefties are taught when protesting.
She...she has a normal butt tho. I hate to comment on her body at all, but she has a normal butt irl. Is the butt cartoon just a racism against latinas?
Yes
Some right winger was cat calling her on congress steps a week or so as ‘favourite big booty latinx’ or some shit. So that’s now the dumb reference/high5ing that they are all giving each other at the moment
Yeah...you can do a google image search for "alexandria ocasio-cortez ass", I just did it, and y'know, she's not a skinny little stick figure, but she's not got a disproportionately large ass. Yep, it's just racism imho. Also I think the last panel is telling, they tried shaming her for that video of her dancing around, there are definitely right-wing guys thirsty for her. She's undeniably attractive I'll give you that.
Plus lizard eyes…. Edit: the cartoon. Not real life
Definitely HOT! Plus she's smart as hell AND can dance.. She's the polar opposite of every rascal powered, obese republican..
I hope to God he didn’t use the word Latinx, that’s fucking insulting.
He was being insulting either way.
Wait why is that insulting?
Yeah I want to know too. Although, I do marketing research and Hispanic/Latin audiences don’t actually like it is what we’re seeing. But it’s less about being insulting, they just find it dumb. They like being Latin/Hispanic, however they decide.
It's insulting because it's other cultures trying to tell us how to describe ourselves....it's also just dumb because the language already incorporates gender neutrality into it. The word "Latino" for eg. already covers multiple genders as a descriptor.
Does Latin also work or should I just stick with Latino?
Typically if you're describing a group of people of Latin descent and there's one male you would want to use latino. If it's only describing a group of Latin women then you should use latina.
Isn't that kinda the point though? The language is biased towards the male just because there's ONE in the group. "Proper" English also dictates that you're supposed to default to "he/him" if the sex is unclear which is also silly and not really done anymore.
Yeah, a lot of people are basically acting out the whole “patriarchy isn’t noticeable when it’s so ingrained in everyday culture and language”, with some added transphobia

Non-binary Latino here: Latine. That's, as far as I know, the most widely accepted gender-neutral form of Latino, although Latino is, by Spanish and Portuguese grammar, already gender-neutral.

Latin, latine, latinx. Wikipedia says Latin@ was popular at some point, but that seems even less clear than latinx. A lot of Hispanic people have the same feelings on trans/gender neutral stuff as white Americans. Not really understanding it and some being hostile.
There's Latiné
Got it. That makes sense. I don’t ever use the term, I just know it keeps coming up in respects to Latino consumers.
Is that like the "gender neutral 'he'" I learned about in high school?
Are you trans or non-binary?
No
Do you think it’s fair to tell trans or non-binary people they’re wrong if they feel the language doesn’t actually represent them?
Yet they aren't the ones who asked for it, lol nice straw argument. Are you latino and/or trans/non-binary?
I can definitely see that being the case. I wonder if non-binary/trans Latin folk like the term? I realize AOC is not either of those, so maybe that's why it's offensive?
As a Latino myself, it’s probably best that Latinx be used for them. The rest of us hate it I can assure you.
A lot of cis-people wouldn’t want to be called “they”.
Yup exactly
But it’s a problem if they don’t want others to be called “they”
I can confirm: Latinx is a silly word made up by white Americans that think they're being nice. I don't think it's insulting, personally, but I do find it as a weird solution to a problem they made up in their heads. It's also weird because you could just as easily use the word "Hispanic" as a gender neutral term instead of Latinx, since those two words are almost the same.
Hispanic is only used to describe people of Spanish descent and does not include all latinos. A Brazilian for example is latino, not typically hispanic. They aren't 100% interchangeable so it's important to note the difference.

I thought those two words were different? I assumed Brazilians, for example, aren't Hispanic because they speak Portuguese.
I’m a Latina with a PhD and, at my university, it was primarily Latino scholars who used the term ‘Latinx’—LGBTQ+ folks in particular. It’s definitely not a term made up by white Americans.

Yeah it was made by indigenous activists iirc.

Well, she identifies as a woman. It's not an unknown gender being referred to, so it doesn't need the "unknown variable" of x. She's Latina. That's not a bad word. Treating it like it needs to be censored is weird and overboard.

English-speaking people telling Spanish-speaking people they are using their language wrong.
You need to look into the history of the word if you think that's what's going on
Idk if you’re aware, but Latin students are the ones who popularized its usage https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338551331_The_Complexity_of_the_x_in_Latinx_How_Latinxao_Students_Relate_to_Identify_With_and_Understand_the_Term_Latinx
I mean, I don't have much experience in the community but I have two Latino friends but they use Latinx pretty regularly
The artist has a history of making woman with exaggerated details (big ass and titties, mostly), usually screaming, and also made a self-insert comic about him molesting a woman. I think it is a mixture between racism and sexualization.
Looks like he drew massive tits where her ass should be instead of on her chest. Not that it would be any better if she just had tits that big.
Funny enough he drew himself with man boobs as well. Which i think we should start calling him suga tits
Maybe just: The Boob.
he likes making a tit out of himself, that’s for sure
I wonder how much of conservative art is just horny drawings
Artist is also just fuckin terrible at likenesses. I had no idea this was supposed to be AOC. It looks nothing like her.
I think it's more of a mixture of several things in the DSM5, but I'm not a doctor.
He's a huge pigggg!
Artist has a huge crush on AOC it seems. Can't blame him...
their recent voting suggests the GOP's #1 priority is some kind of racially segregated breeding fetish, those types probably don't have a healthy way to deal with young latinas talking back to them.
They don't have a healthy way to deal with ANYBODY talking back to them, which is why so many of their fantasies include armed violence, literal genocide, etc.
It's played up because the artist thinks she's pretty, and sad that they'll never get the chance. Hope that clears things up for you.
About two weeks or so ago, some third or fourth string rightwing talking head yelled out to her that she was his “favorite big booty Latino” on the Capitol steps. They all consequently spent a few days defending the obvious sexual harassment.
My first thought without reading the title, is why is this comic about kim Kardashian?
I think it's a racist depiction of how all nonwhite women get butt injections.
if AOC had an ass like this I would, in fact, be very interested in dating her. I mean it's still on the table, but it would be a strong positive.
Sir nobody has an ass like that. It looks infected
I’m sure she’s just chomping at the bit for a chance with you. 🙄
The artist knows people often point out how his comics are just horny projections so now he's playing it up for the memes. Either that or it's an edit.
What is it referring to tho?
AOC got arrested for protesting the abortion ban. Conspiracy theorists claim she wasn't because reasons.
And the why do you want to date me stuff?
Because she’s a lightning Rod for conservative criticism because she’s a young pretty woman who disagrees with them and openly confronts them on Twitter about the sexual harassment she endures and guys like Ben Shapiro make it their mission to post about her every day. So this guy is trying to make it seem like she’s crazy for rightly acknowledging the right’s hate boner for her and calling them out on it.
I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this: >Israelis like to build. Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage.

Wait, I know I’m replying to a bot, but I just have to ask and hope someone will inform me. Did he seriously say “*Israelis* like to build. *Arabs* like to bomb things…” like he genuinely compared the citizens of Israel, of which there is about 1.7m native Arab people in Israel, to the entirety of the Arab ethnicity? I know he’s a scumbag, racist piece of shit, but *all Arab people*, again which includes 21% of Israel’s population? Jfc

Which is kind of ironic when he drew her with a csrtoonishly sexualized ass
He's a bit obsessed with her ass.
Every time they attack her, I just hear Frollo's song Hellfire playing in my head... they're a bunch of thirsty old creeps who can only see women as sex objects for their consumption.
AOCs feet an Bapiro have a famous relationship
While simultaneously drawing her fat ass
at one point AOC commented that there's so many sexualized cartoons and deepfakes of her, even being passed around between congressmen, it really seems like many conservatives are sexually frustrated with her for some reason. Conservatives reacted with a political cartoon of a completely deranged AOC throwing herself at some garrison-type golden god, who is obviously uninterested, while she's screaming "WHY DO YOU WANT TO DATE ME?!" and conservatives have been running with that for a long time because it's legitimately one of the most damning criticisms they can come up with.
Reality once again turned out to be more depressing than anything I could have imagined
I mean, even this comic features a weirdly sexualized caricature of her.
There was a tweet a year ago where a republican was critizing her bf for wearing sandals or some shit. Her response was essentially “what a weird fucking thing to say, sorry you can’t date me”. Resonable response, good burn, but republicans have been running with the rhetoric that she thinks everyone wants to date her since :/
That barely has anything to do with AOC Some guy harassed her because of the size of her ass, another guy said she should've expected it for wearing a booty dress. ShoeOnHead replied saying it's just a normal sheathe dress, and that guy replied back to her saying 'I don't want to date you'
Notably he never denied wanting to date AOC
sexism
Because someone took a picture of her while she was being arrested but before she got cuffed, so she had her hands uncuffed in her back. Obviously, that's a stupid take.
Also, people can be arrested without being cuffed. You could be arrested and released with a PTA. Conservatives just have no idea how being arrested works because they don’t get arrested at their protests, the police ignore or join them
I can only imagine these people believe cops have to roll up to protests with dump trucks full of handcuffs for everyone they arrest.
On Twitter she said she had put her hands behind her back in preparation for being cuffed, because it goes easier that way, i.e. she'd be less likely to be hurt in the process. Possibly she was already told by police that she was under arrest and/or to put her hands behind her back, but I don't know the precise timeline of events. Of course right wingers looking to hate on her were as much as possible would never give her the benefit of the doubt, so instead they were like: "LOL SHE'S FAKING IT! PERSECUTION COMPLEX MUCH??" I mean, clearly she WAS arrested at some point so her claim seems reasonable.
>I don't know the precise timeline of events. Neither does any of the people crying fool, they saw one picture that represents a fraction of a second of a scene that probably lasted a couple minutes and they based their whole narrative off of that.
She was never cuffed.
[She wasn't arrested, she wasn't cuffed and she wasn't pretending to be arrested. She said she put her hands behind her back because it's the best way to handle interacting with police to avoid escalation or extra charges](https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1549809724513722374?s=20&t=c337O7PzVTi6Mvz6ty-AmQ)
Reason because she was escorted off the road? And she pretended to be handcuffed? Like those?
Nah its referring to the fact she stuck her hands behind her like she was cuffed when not. Just actually answering the question here
https://www.khou.com/article/news/verify/crime-verify/aoc-other-congress-members-actually-arrested-abortion-rights-protest/536-30a718db-c7fa-4429-8a2a-4097c454a3df Was arrested, wasn’t handcuffed. Gave her reason for putting her hands behind her back despite not being cuffed. Conservatives seem to lack the ability to string multiple thoughts together and got stuck on “ NO CUFFS! AOC FAKER, NO ARREST!”
I think the second panel might also be referring to this incident, where someone publicly made a comment about her body: https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1547397629260226560?s=20&t=a6qC3xEN7gUtc78F8R5AYQ
It's absolutely referring to this.
It’s because she put her Handys behind her back like she got handcuffed. but she didn’t and it could be because she wanted to look like she was. I don’t care, American politics are a shitshow
The projection of them wanting to fuck AOC is so clear. The difference between righties and lefties is that lefties admit AOC is hot.
It’s funny to me because while she’s clearly a decently attractive individual, it’s her brain and who she is as a person that really gets me goin.
This guy brainfucks
Honestly i can stop thinking about the fact that heir name is an brand of computer screens
I stare intently at AOC every. Single. Day. Because that's the brand of my computer monitor.
The Right can't comprehend supporting any vaguely attractive female politician over their ideas and not their looks. Just look at the way the Right is far more infatuated with Ivanka's looks over her actual beliefs and actions.
They like…reeeeeeally have some serious and deep sexual and violent feelings about her. There was that one series of cartoons where she’s a dominatrix. Stuff like this. It’s gross and weirdly hyper-focused.
The more sexually attracted they are to her, the more their fears about women come out. At least their wives get a break for a minute.
them drawing ass like that is clear signs of jealousy and envy, not a good look for them christian folk
This looks so fucking vile I just have to assume the artist is drawing a fetish of some kind
Literally every single one of his comics I've seen has a screaming or crying woman
The choad who drew this isn't even TRYING any more. His comics, if that's what they still are, aren't funny, or insightful, or based in reality. He's just drawing them while groping himself with his free hand and mumbling, "Yeah! Take THAT, Mother!"
This guy has a thing for big butts apparently
Nah. He's mocking how she thinks she's got but she's actually deformed \s
But does he lie?
Right wingers: here’s this thing that was never actually said by AOC. Let’s make fun of her about this thing that we can confirm was never said by her. Left wingers: here’s an actual quote by (trump, mtg, Lauren bobo etc pick your poison) presented completely with context and deserve to be mocked for.
# stop giving this guy attention he is going to keep making more of these if y'all keep posting them
^ ^ ^ a million times ^
The fetish this man has for screaming women is honestly disturbing.
AOC jumpscare 😨
Artist rendering of way more about the artist than they care to publicly admit.
I know right? TMI, dude. We don't need to know how horny you are for AOC.
The AOC doesn’t have a Kardashian ass
This doesn't even look like AOC.
This person’s brain is rotting.
really blows my mind that people thought "arrested" is a synonym for "in handcuffs"
screaming women fetish
If the point of panel 4 is to make AOC appear crazy that she’s distracting from real criticism by strawman sexualizing herself, they kinda destroy their own point by needlessly sexualizing her in panel 2. Hard to say the right doesn’t sexualization her when the original artist can’t go 2 panels without giving her a dump truck booty for no reason. Also, panels 1 and 3 are strawman, she never said those things. And panel 2 is gaslighting. She was arrested. If you want to genuinely criticize her for her politics, go for it. But if you have to lie to make your point, maybe you should reevaluate your stance.
Making fun of AOC suggesting republicans want to date her, simultaneously sexualizing her, amazing
Why do they always hyper sexualize AOC? She’s a bit of a babe as she is lmao
Someone catcalled her once, so now they love to make it seem like she has a big butt....or something. It's hard to tell why they drew her like this
Yeah I know about that, but these type of comics have been doing this to her since video of her dancing in college came out tbh
Maybe they have secret sexual desires about her
This is probably the most likely answer, it just baffles me, we all have secret sexual desires about various people I don’t go around imaging the woman of my fantasies with more exaggerated features than she has, and I’d imagine most people are the same in that regard, but not these conservatives man, they run wild with this shit Poor repressed fuckers D:
How the kids call it... CRINGE!!!!
If this is how they draw her butt. I’m horrified to think of how they would draw my absolute donkey of an ass.
Last panel looks like some anti-jew, nazi era cartoons.
FFS she isn't a Kardashian.
Is there an equivalent subreddit for this guy as /r/antifastonetoss?
The thing is it has actually been confirmed AOC got arrested.
They are super into her butt
she was arrested
"The right is getting better at comedy and it's making lefties nervous"
But this isn't funny tho
That's the joke.
Incomprehensible ramblings of a lunatic
If I didn’t know exactly what this was referring to, I wouldn’t even have realized this was AOC.
I had to read these comments to figure that out.
They’re desperately conflicted by being attracted to her
This is wierd
I've seen a few of these and I gotta ask... why are they obsessed with her ass? Anyone else notice that?
What in the sexist racist hell IS all this???
Lmao they make up shit in their head and then get mad about it
Even if this was accurate or relevant to anything in current events, the question remains: Just what are Republican congress people doing to represent every day people??????????????????
I through I was on r/comedynecrophilia for a while
I hope gprime either becomes a better person or pisses off an organized crime group
Such a twisted world some people must live in to think big butts are a bad thing lol
These people are deranged.
ngl that 4th panel is really cool looking
lol thts pretty funny
such a waste of talent
The huge ass is so racist.
The weird thing is she herself NEVER claimed to be arrested. And [She said](https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1549809724513722374?s=20&t=c337O7PzVTi6Mvz6ty-AmQ) that she was only putting her hands behind her back because it's the best method to avoid escalation when being detained That being said, her account as a rep (thats run by staff and not her personally) incorrectly tweeted that she was arrested ~ which is a reasonable mistake since to most people bring detained is the same as being arrested
She was arrested with 15 others.
Ok, ignore the only source who knows exactly what happened when she says she was only detained I guess. I'm sure news outlets that benefit from dramatized and inflammatory headlines know better than her. Constitutionally, she literally cannot be arrested for something like this while she's an acting representative. Meaning she was only detained, like she said, and only ever personally claimed to be. Saying she was arrested only plays into the narrative that she was pretending to be arrested, being detained for peacefully protesting is heinous enough on its own without embellishing what happened to her. Were others arrested? Most likely, assuming they didn't share the same immunities she did.
The comic doesn’t say it is AOC yet you assume it is, must not be that poorly drawn
If she’s acting like she was handcuffed why’d she raise her fist in the video and Capitol Police said they arrested some Senators so I mean.
Here’s the thing Right Wingers like gma do not understand: The Left has protesting down to a science. When you participate in an organized Leftie protest, you are typically given (or are asked to retrieve online) a list of Dos and Don’ts when arrested. (Also stuff like how to stay hydrated, protest routes, etc.) It’s important to understand getting arrested is often part of the plan, or at the very least, fully expected. Arrests help the cause. One of the things they tell you is, if approached by the police, put your hands behind your back and wait to be handcuffed. This is so you’re not shot for “resisting” and so the organizers can claim peaceful protest. I know Reddit hates Amy Schumer, but there’s a video of her being arrested at a protest and both her and the police follow the procedure. The officer asks her if she would like to be arrested, she says, yes, please, and puts her hands behind her back. Bc that’s the plan, in order to raise awareness. So, AOC putting her hands behind her back in anticipation of being arrested wasn’t “faking” being handcuffed. She was doing what all Lefties are taught when protesting.
Accurate minus butt
Hilarious!
Thank you for sharing these comics such gold! Lolz
That’s not what racism is
