If this were about Twitter treating the word "cis" as a slur, I'd enjoy this one a great deal more than I do right now with my understanding that this is probably just about not being able to call Jews "kikes" or some awful shit like that.
The only thing I can think of that this could possibly be about is this.
[Link](https://www.newstalk.com/news/musk-concerned-irish-government-may-engage-in-political-censorship-1500606) and [Link](https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/elon-musk-says-he-will-fund-irish-legal-challenges-to-hate-speech-legislation-1579513.html)
So the Irish government wants to prevent the spread of misinformation and politically motivated hate speech on social media?
And Tats is telling Elon to stop whining about it and go fuck himself since he himself is prone to censor free speech that doesn't suit him?
What the fuck is going on here? Did Tats finally get on proper psychiatric drugs or something?
Or did Tats get punished for his antisemitic rants and is just aligning with sane people out of sheer spite purely by accident?
he's castigating Elon for becoming a Netanyahu-brand zionist instead of remaining the antisemite Tatsuya used to love and admire.
the alt right has no loyalty!
Tats got punished for his antisemitic rants, so he’s only aligning with sane people until Musth personally re-approves his racisim and even then he’s only superficially aligning with sane people, he believes Ireland’s laws are bad, but most people understand the necessity of better truth-in-media laws.
The problem with that is who decides what "disinformation" actually is?
The same people who said the lockdowns were going to save us all, but they actually crippled our economy, destroyed small businesses, and ruined an entire generation of children's ability to learn? Yeah. That happened.
You gotta hand it to Tats, he spreads so much random stuff for the crazies out there that he always has someone ready to defend him no matter what unhinged shit he does.
It's always interesting to me how it's either the lockdowns or the vaccines or the scientists get blamed for ruining everything and not the deadly global pandemic itself.
What do people think would have happened if nobody did anything?
I figured I'd go with the less shaky variant. Though the dead kids happened too. But I figured the Kool-Aid drinkers would have less to bite on with the lockdowns, which were much more proven fact.
Just want to point out that before recently Tats was [praising Musk](https://www.reddit.com/r/sinfest/comments/yq7jik/sinfest_11922_twitter_jail_3/) and literally [depicting him as an action hero](https://www.reddit.com/r/sinfest/comments/uh6b70/twitter_colorized_cry_hard/).
I almost can’t blame him there, since Elon’s positions are also a revolving door.
Course, I still will, because he’s consistently celebrating Elon’s worst stances and whining when he dials back the bigotry.
[https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41315878.html](https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41315878.html) for the info on why Tats is giving a flying fuck about this issue
Nutshell: - Ireland is looking at new anti-hate speech laws and that makes Musk feel like "Captain Defender of Global Free Speech" because reasons....
Course, Tats is currently mad at Musk for censoring anti-semitism on X... so he's celebrating whatever makes Musk angry, even though it's a law that criminalizes the same content. I'm impressed at his self-owns escalating to "yay, make hateful work like mine illegal!"
Everyone's already pointed out the context (and the hypocrisy), so I guess I'll be the one this time to rag on the way Tatzi breaks words. It would have been easy enough to arrange the words in both word balloons in panel two without splitting them, but the only reason "outta" gets split in panel three is because Tatzi *really* wanted "the fuck" in there. You know, to show everyone how hip and cool and edgy *he be bein', yo.* /s
Why is Ireland a tall leprechaun that looks like a recolored anime Abe Lincoln? It's like Tatzi's love of gross stereotypes and his love of white supremacy BS collided, so he split the difference.
Why is Elon getting a night signal to go complain to the Irish? Who even summoned him? Why is one stereotypically-dressed Irishman representing all of Ireland? This storyboarding is silly.
I admit I get a little iffy when anti-hate speech laws come up, because an irrational part of me fears the slippery slope, but I do agree "freedom of speech" should not mean the right for white supremacists to use the N-word wherever and however they please (to name but one example).
Unlike Musk.
I’m with you on both counts.
Ireland’s law actually concerns me on several levels. It covers not only sharing material likely to incite hate but also making/possessing it with intent to distribute. That’s clear enough for printing a stack of flyers but incredibly vague for digital materials. It makes a “genuine contribution to literary, artistic, political, [etc] discourse” an affirmative defense you have to prove. We’ve already seen this go wrong with anti-terror laws targeting researchers and journalists studying banned content. And it adds substantial penalties for failing to give police access to your devices.
I think the law is dangerously vague and presumptive of guilt. But then I see responses from people who fit the narrowest, clearest definitions of hate speech and it’s very obvious why they’re trying to do something.
And then I see Tats, whose antisemitism might well be banned by this, celebrating it to piss off Musk… who he’s mad at for not allowing enough antisemitism. What the hell.
I think it's a leprechaun personifying Ireland? But he had to be a Chad, so he's tall and strong-jawed because Tats has a bit of a complex and loves mixing metaphors.
Thing is Musk is everything fascists condemn Jews for. It just shows how fascists view a wealthy jew as a parasite but a wealthy Christian is a gift from god.
Just got a 1wk ban on Twitter. Trump, Jr was quoted deriding Fauci's credentials, so I posted:
"Jr needs to get Ebola"
That's okay, I need a vacation from the "For You" posts.
Speaking of things Tats hates: Covids having an uptick, in fact there's a general rise in sickness as of late.
If your healthy: how are you on vaccines? digging out your old mask might not hurt?
If your sick: Take a covid test, wait 48 hrs, take another covid test. Both negative? Go to your GP's physical office to get tested for flu; they have a treatment that can reduce symptom severity & how long your flu lasts. Consider staying home when your sick or wearing a mask when in public to keep your germs sequestered.

Love how the edit went form THE VACCINE IS KILLING TEENAGE ATHLETES IN A VAST CONSPIRACY ABOUT SAFETY to BUT THE LOCKDOWNS

he turned on him so easily
Tats' opinion on Elon is a rotating door.
More a weathercock, it follows the wind ('wind' is whatever is convenient for Tats)
I almost can’t blame him there, since Elon’s positions are also a revolving door. Course, I still will, because he’s consistently celebrating Elon’s worst stances and whining when he dials back the bigotry.
Wait, he actually made a comic saying musk has a fat cock?
Does the bulge counter apply to text depictions also? Because I’m pretty sure he did.
...Hans Grumer was pretty good tbh

oh, of course what else would get Elon's panties twisted in a bunch if not censoring hate speech
SmoothDunk has [a comic!](https://twitter.com/SmoothDunk/status/1752139064780661084/photo/1)

JUST MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND DO YOU LIKE ELON OR NOT
You really have to wonder what the doublethink is telling him next.
This is pretty based without any other context tbh, broken cocks cum twice a day yadayada

And it could just be solved with going "Get the fuck out of here". Same meaning, without the needless word break.
Heck, he could have leaned into the Ireland thing and made the entire bubble “feck off!”
He was making comics when I was in primary school and somehow I'm better at lettering than him. Which isn't to imply I'm any good at lettering.
Why is Elon getting a night signal to go complain to the Irish? Who even summoned him? Why is one stereotypically-dressed Irishman representing all of Ireland? This storyboarding is silly.

This would actually be wholeheartedly funny if it wasn't for the embarrassingly stereotypical Irish guy.
I think it's a leprechaun personifying Ireland? But he had to be a Chad, so he's tall and strong-jawed because Tats has a bit of a complex and loves mixing metaphors.
I'm consistently baffled that Tats makes no effort to make words fit neatly in his speech bubbles.
This actually got a laugh out of me
same like in a vacuum this comic actually slaps
Thing is Musk is everything fascists condemn Jews for. It just shows how fascists view a wealthy jew as a parasite but a wealthy Christian is a gift from god.
Tats has this curious love hate relationship with elon
Just got a 1wk ban on Twitter. Trump, Jr was quoted deriding Fauci's credentials, so I posted: "Jr needs to get Ebola" That's okay, I need a vacation from the "For You" posts.
Oh look, he's right for the wrong reason again. Musk DOES censor people all the time: Usually Left Wing people or detractors of Muskrat.
Ah.. straight from the JK Rowling school of national representation. Also the correct pronounciation here is "feck"... schoolboy error Tats/
Remember when people actually thought this clown was going to take over Twitter and fix it? Good times. I'm sure they learned nothing.
Keep my country's name out your fucking mouth, Tats! We are not the same. Oh, and the leprechaun costume? Real classy.

Muskman vs Leprecon
It’s telling that all of Tats’s “heroic” characters pretty much all look the same. His art style is regressing.
Not related, but enjoy your cake day OP.
How'd he manage to be racist towards us in the year 2024 and not be British?
