So you're saying that this guy is a nazi and his comics are bad, to some noteworthy degree.

Any comment on his actual point here?

Al Quaeda? Never met the guy.

I think that you would rather eat your own foot than address a point directly.

I have legitimately no idea what you're actually trying to say.

I was just replying to the user explaining who stonetoss was, I even said in my reply I don't think this guy is like him.

Or are you trying to pretend stonetoss isn't a nazi? Idk what to tell you there lil guy.

There's things like native American sports mascots which are but some Native tribes say it's ok, but they also don't speak for every native American.

They aren't the same person as the original comment, but no their words did not say they were a nazi, they only said this post wasn't as bad as some noteworthy Nazi that someone else brought up. I wouldn't call that a complement, but they answered your first question directly. Then you manipulated their words into an demanding question and they have you word vomit back.

Idk who these writers are, but I assume the aggressive response got the irrelevant answer

And also the representation of that culture. An ignorant attempt at mocking a culture can be offensive even if the intent is purely comic or positive.

Yeah this is “bestof” on the shit hole site material. But it’s legitimately excellent

This reminds me of a comic, which obviously should be taken playfully with a pinch of salt:

Two Italian men are joined by a visitor trying to ask a question in Italian. "Ah, they're trying to speak Italian!" and so they turn to the visitor and welcome them in Italian.
Two German men are joined by a visitor trying to ask a question in German. "Ah, they're trying to speak German!" and so they turn to the visitor and welcome them in English.
Two Parisian men are joined by a visitor trying to ask a question in French. "Ah, they're trying to speak French!" and so they turn away and ignore them.

Incredibly generally: gender is the expression of gender identity and is a social construct while gender identity seems to be largely influenced by biological factors. Sex is the biological differentiation, and while the delineation between the sexes is culturally defined (if someone has xxy sex chromosomes, high testosterone, a penis, and a vagina it's a cultural decision if we say they're male, female or intersex), it's a classification based much more on observable factors.

Race and ethnicity are more akin to sex than to gender identity, which would be better compared to cultural identity.
What distinguishes races is a social construct, but within a context racial classifications are relatively consistent. Racial markers that mean nothing in the US might be quite significant in Rawanda.
Similarly ethnicity, being a blend of race, language, culture and heritage is socially constructed but relatively objective within a context.
Culture on the other hand is, like gender identity, more to do with subjective feelings, opinions, and choices on the part of the individual, with the distinctions between them being cultural.

The woman in question mislead people about her race and ethnicity by misidentifying her relatives and heritage. Her cultural affiliation is harder to dispute, although being a chapter president for the NAACP shows at least a degree of acceptance by the African American culture in the area.

I didn't think my request was that far out but ok, I will watch it in the future.

I don't know who stormtoss is. I took it you were saying that this comic artist was like stormtoss but not as bad. Then I offered that we skip all that and talk about the comic instead.

Clear?

Meh, it wasn't extreme, I was just trying to figure out what it might have been, and when re-reading it I found it may have been that. I'm just a random 3rd party so take what I said with a grain of salt. Or a grinder, I do really like nice salt/pepper grinders. They are just satisfying... Though the electric ones are annoy me. Why take away all my satisfaction and overcomplicate something nice.

I’m a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!

In reality? Like anyone else.

As a costume?

The not-puerto-rican editor of the magazine bon appetit went to a Halloween costume dressed as a caricature of a Puerto Rican with his also not Puerto Rican wife.
It came into my head as an example of something less obviously problematic than blackface, but more obviously problematic than dressing as a Disney character that's a depiction of a different race.

Feel free to substitute any other ethnicity or race into my example as it makes sense to you.

It's a fairly on-point criticism actually.

Maybe I'm alone, but I didn't read their comment as saying the artist is somewhat of a Nazi, but just somewhat bad. As in there's a certain level of "badness" before the term Nazi applies. It felt like they were commenting on the level of "badness", not the level of "Naziness".

Stormtoss

It's Stonetoss, but I'll be damned if that isn't an amazing intentional typo. (Likening Stonetoss to Stormfront.)

Something can be a fair criticism while also being Boomer humor.
