Red Jerry on comic book “feminests” — the greatest bizarre email of all time (this week)?

OT: Hey look, turns out voter fraud is real!
A Des Moines woman has been arrested on suspicion of voting twice this month.

This is apparently the cheating Hillary supporter in question:

Wait, no, that can’t be right!

@Moggie, meanwhile the republicans in North Carolina have been spending the past months doing everything they possibly can to get black voters stricken off the lists by calling their rights into question.

Apparently in NC it’s legal for citizens in NC to challenge the voting rights of other citizens, so republican jerks have been doing things like mass-mailing to every household in black-dominated areas with a mail that requests a reply, and then using every one that doesn’t get a reply as evidence that the person isn’t a valid citizen. Then it’s up to the person being challenged to present themselves and their evidence that they do live at that address.

@Jesalin
Sorry not sorry. 😀

@Scildfreja:
For Katie’s sake. Seriously. This is one of those times when Adam de Gurowski looks like a reasonable man.

I wonder… in this context, what does “pillar of the community” mean? Is it “Bitching on Reddit about feminezis taking over the medium gets me lots of upvotes”?

Or perhaps “My party trick is regurgitating superhero trivia to people who obviously want to be somewhere else”?

Or maybe even “I am a regular writer and reviewer of graphic novels for a widely respected source of comic book news, and I have published several of my own works to wide acclaim”?

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say it’s probably not that last one.

I don’t know how old it is, @Fabe. It’s GS 163-85, as here:

http://www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/PDF/BySection/Chapter_163/GS_163-85.pdf

Old, I think, but it’s the past few elections that this has been happening. The reason it caught the news this time is because there have been so many challenges that the court is behind on processing them, and it’s within the 25-day legal limit to the election, so they don’t know what to do.

My googs search has discovered that there are right wing groups in NC that have been targeting this bill specifically because they think they’re stamping out voter fraud, instead of just being all-around terrible people.

https://www.nccivitas.org/2013/cases-show-how-easy-vote-fraud-is-in-nc/

In the first paragraph, the writer of this right-wing blog points to GS 163-85 as evidence that NC makes it too hard to challenge voters! Apparently the challenger having to

“knows, suspects or reasonably believes” a person is not “qualified and entitled to vote.”

is just too restrictive! The jerkbutt also concludes that

The outcome – 57 of the 60 challenges were sustained – means that 157 voters were found to have committed voter fraud.

– which of course ain’t true in the slightest, it just means that they may not be registered to live at the address. You know, like poor people who can’t afford to rent, or whose credit score is too low to get on a rental agreement or whatnot. I guess they aren’t real Americans!

Ugh. Humans.

He probably means red-pillar of the community.

I just discovered that Jack Barnes has been banned from Twitter. How many does that make now?
I has the mixed feels about this…

“You may or may not realize that you have more recently blocked my main account in the heat of a disagreement- of which is no matter as I employ a series of distinct accounts to circumvent such petty annoyances.”

Translation: I am a troll who spams his shit from multiple accounts. And you will not get away with disagreeing with me, no sir!

“I am here as an ally…”

Yeah, right.

“So I feel as a pillar in the community it is my responsibility to give you the information necessary for you to steer your future choices in a way that might present you the highest chances of success.”

Channers and GamerGits have PILLARS, now? As opposed to mere PILLOCKS? Will wonders never cease???

“You are the fourth person today I will have contacted in an attempt to help as recent discourse is scaring fine creatives towards the inevitable trash-pit that is the recent swath of ‘progressive’ comics.”

Translation: You are the fourth comix-type person I have pestered today with my imaginary high intelligence and status, trying in vain to persuade them into going back to the Bad Old Days. Also, I’m kind of butthurt to have been ignored by the other three.

“The fad of the diverse children’s market will never be a stronghold in the Bigger PIcture market…”

You WISH, trolly.

“I do myself dabble in writing…”

Yeah, it’s kind of obvious. Dabbling, in pseudo-high-flown language, is all he can do, because if he had to enunciate what he means in plain English, everyone would right away recognize him as a racist, sexist, reactionary you-name-it-phobe. And that wouldn’t get him the respect he thinks he deserves, no sirree!

Also, he can’t spell echelon. The telltale mark of the dabbler, that is.

@kupo, I been there! I’ve lived in some absolute dives, and have had to make the choice between rent and food more than once. I have nothing but sympathy and understanding. It’s what makes my blood boil so much when I hear about these people calling the poor ‘fraudulent voters.’ Poor people have so much more practical wisdom in them, and so much more kindness. I’d side with them any day of the week, on any topic, but this really takes the cake.

Why do those people get triggered so easily? They’re constantly going on about people getting “triggered” but whenever you so much as post something like “Well, maybe rape isn’t funny/FMG is horrible/anything that sounds relatively sane”, they go ballistic and call you an “EssJayDoubleyou”.

Another dramatic reading (I linked to my own further up) by Prof Bison, who does the whole email (so it includes the bit where Red invites Sygh to contribute free of charge to his blog and encourage others to do likewise.
