They also claim the word “woke” indicates a clear political orientation when it could go either way.
The word could be used unironically, ironically, as a reclamation or reappropriation, derisively, self-critically.
The comics shown don’t express an unambiguous political attitude or sentiment anyone can objectively pin down.
People really seem to be projecting & acting on wild takes.
Is there any of that here?
No, so you’re reaching & pulling shit out your ass.
Point out what in the comic conveys a definite opinion/judgement/attitude/stance toward the depicted subject.
Anyone can see no opinion is indicated: it’s nonjudgemental & leaves unspecified how you should feel.
The only judgements “there” are those you project onto the author apropos of nothing.
Is the author seriously claiming there’s a high incidence of brawls in the subway or posing other scientific assertions?
Not necessarily: the comedic irony still works without that assumption.
Is Naked Gun claiming anything serious about police procedures & crime?
Likewise, no, and I think we know that.
The judgement seems premature or poorly supported and somewhat masturbatory & contrived.
It’s tedious.
Ignoring basics of how these genres work is pretense.
Whenever I see contrived pretense like that I’m going to ridicule & criticize it.
Please learn to not to be rigid & narrowminded to your way of seeing things like it’s the only way?
I don’t really know what you mean by this
No, but I don’t think anyone is saying this comic is a serious scientific representation, either.
What do you think people are saying? Why do you think people don’t like this comic?
“Please learn better media literacy skills.” is neither an argument nor a valid one. Cheap.
We have criticisms that the comic is propaganda that misrepresents the safety of subways (as if that were a real point).

In light of this comment, please learn any media literacy skills.
That’s not an argument, bruh. You’re just telling me you don’t understand genres that aren’t meant to be treated seriously.
Also confirming your rigid, narrowminded inability accept that by claiming those who do accept that need literacy. In other words, cool projection.
But please, go on. Prove your 1 true irrefutable interpretation of this comic that isn’t built on shaky suppositions & wankery.
Why are you fixated on “taking seriously”?
“It’s just a joke bro” has never been an excuse for (for example) racism, sexism, and other poor behavior.
