How do they do it? How do they get away with making careers out of such bad art and commentary? Is it possible to make actually good political cartoons? What would that even look like?

post some or make some too I guess

I suspect the decline in political cartoons and satire in general has something to do with the absurdity of post-modernity and late stage capitalism
The phrase "beyond satire" is completely cliche now

Makes sense too me. In a post-irony world only something like Kelly's comics can be relevant.

>Is it possible to make actually good political cartoons?
Yeah but it seems like only furries know how. Probably because with them it's easier to avoid falling into "This person is WRINKLEY because they're a BAD person" and they can focus on having characters symbolize stuff without pinning it on an existing person to be a scapegoat.

How do they do it? Why do they waste their lives making such bad art and commentary for free? Is it possible to make actually good internet memes? What would that even look like?

This, i really can't hate furries anymore, the way this timeline is going furries are still cringe
but your average furry is at the very least a smart fella, but doesn't mean you still might find one or two; fart smellas.

This guy has like maybe 1-2 good images, most of their stuff is preachy idpol. The message in this one is alright, but it has absolutely no connection to the actual pictured content, slapping in a hammer and sickle is LARP at best if the actual rest of the image doesn't support it. Then again SabinyAk, you've been a schizo LARPer since day 1, so I don't expect anything else from ya.

Looking at their mastodon, I don't really see that much idpol, aside from flags I guess but I'm not sure how productive it is to lump flags in with idpol as a whole, a lot of catchphrase politics but those are clearly meant to be posters, where that's fine in moderation. I am bewildered by the mishmash of politics and sexual themes though. It's probably meant to be some abstract meta-satire I'm too dumb to understand.

There's a lot of idpol in some of their deleted images or older stuff and it's just kinda lame. Not blatant liberalism, but it's just boring. Like the pic you just posted at least puts the anarchist symbolism over the futa or trans furry character next to a politically suggestive message, implying the solution for the question posed, "just wanna go apeshit? Anarchism"

A furry porn artist decides to insert their political activism into their primary interest, that's about as simple as it gets, no satire really. Pic rel is probably my favorite one of theirs, if simply for it being on point.

LMAO stop dickriding and seething like I insulted your god, I just offered a critique on much of their 'art' being mediocre in terms of actually connecting to their political message and the insertion of idpol into it, chill the fuck out.

>>2699
True, but whether its a good one or not is up in the air, and originality of the meme gets lost a bit.

But wouldn't that put pressure on professional cartoonists published in magazines and newspapers to be not complete shit to differentiate themselves?
