Cartoonists discuss 'racist' Serena caricature

[AeneasBK]

Doesn’t look like a weird third boob to me.

No that's because it's her waist :P

ZING!

Naa, fair cop, glad we could discuss our different interpretations of the image civilly

[Deleted]

It is a pretty good point. Just because something is a caricatures doesn't mean it is safe from being criticized for being racist. The "but they have big lips" or "its just a caricature" defense is really lazy and Toppy linking those pictures is a good explanation as to why it is lazy.

No it is not. Caricatures exaggerate features of people, especially when trying to make fun of them. It is silly, I agree, but that's how it has always been : "look at how stupid AND UGLY this person is, hahaha!". It is done all the time to people of all races and sexes. The fact that you consider it fine for everyone who isn't black but racist when it's a black woman is telling.

Calling eveyone a racist is not going to warp reality, or make you look like a better person.

I saw the match and I felt very sorry for Naomi who is a sweetheart. I'm so glad she is black btw, otherwise this statement would have been called "racist" by idiots who like to throw the word around.

How much of a snowflake do you have to be to get so worked up over a caraciture.

Its not racist and this PC era needs to fuck off and die already.

So nothing happened 1900 to 1960s?

Racist cartoons are some of the earliest known published cartoons.

Considering that Osaka is very brown yet is almost peach in that picture, Serena would be pitch black in comparison.

I think, if you open that picture in an image editor and used the dropper to get the colours of both, you will see that they are both near identical, Osaka appears lighter because there is far less of the colour for your eyes to see, try it.

This has already been stated no less than twice by Winter Blossom and repeated at least once by me.

Sadly I have no idea what that means

I get bored of saying "Poe's Law" every time sarcasm goes undetected, so I say things like "#PoeStrikesAgain" and such like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law Would have thought you would be aware of it at least, second only to Godwins as far as internet culture goes.

No, you need to fuck off you ignorant cunt.

Google sambo cartoons.

Google Australia's history with anti aboriginal cartoons.

And don't come back.

Now now, no need to get angry. We are all civilized people discussing a topic.

[Underverse]

The exceptions being healthcare, mental illness, education, taxation, child care, veterans you know minor stuff

Differences in outcomes don't necessitate differences in treatment. Although I'm not exactly clear on what you're talking about, so you could elaborate.

the osaka character in the caricature was more tanned in the original than what the media was spreading.

For a given value of civilised :P

[Underverse]

You could just ignore them and move on with your life. I've had random ass accusations thrown at me for strange reasons, and if you give them the time of day they take it a mile.

Yeah I could. I don't mind taking the time to call out some bullshit though.

I'm getting annoyed at the amount of racist far right posts on here that the mods do fuck all about.

But use naughty words? That's a ban.

Oh really? THAT would be a lot more interesting than any other aspect of this story including the original tantrum and the entire tournament it happened at.

Got any evidence?

There's some irony in here but I'm sure you spotted it as you were typing

Countries that take care of their citizens have socialized medicine, reformed education system, put heavy focus on mental health and care for their soldiers and child development. The United States for the most part does an abysmal job in all these fields, I am not sure what you mean by outcome it's pretty clear that all of these are flawed if not downright broken especially healthcare and veterans.

[Dextroden]

Who the hell is talking about being arrested. People are using their right to free speech to criticize something they find sketchy.

Only because Serena. No one seems to have problem with caricature if it's against someone they don't like

Triggered much snowflake ? I dont need to google anything when I am well aware of this cartoonist's style and what constitutes a caricature.

[Deleted]

I cant believe that some guy cant even make cartoons of african heritage people because some features will be exagerated.

Lets grab all draws made of asian people and count the ones that dont have a yellow skin for example.

This is over the top already.

Somehow no one can make fun of other ethnic groups anymore.

Im glad that in my country Portugal no one cares about this racial features crap.
No one gets offended by N words or things like this.
Even the white people adopted the word africans use to call portugueses.

I must say I'm curious too!

[petej0]

Yes because white people have such a strong history with being compared to ape.

Keep on grasping.

Why would it be ok to portray Trump, Bush, Blair or any white person as a monkey or ape caricature?
