      It doesn’t appear to contain political content (at least to me, how is this political to you though?)

      I am not the arbiter of what is political or not though, I’m just also curious as to why this isn’t in c/memes, but it deserves the upvotes imo

          Ahh you’re going based on what seems to be a textbook definition rather than the vibe definition.

          Typically there’s a certain vibe to political cartoons, and I think the original commenter and I are just used to that vibe to tell whether a cartoon is “actually” political. This cartoon is missing that vibe by a lot. It seems to be a gta meme more than a political meme, vibes wise.

          That said, you’re not wrong by your own definition, and that makes enough sense for me! Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated!

            I understand the vibes feel, and think you’re right. I just tire of incisive, antagonistic political memes. GTA is relevant and I thought it was fun. I get it though.

              I get that, nothing wrong with that!

              Tbh I was wondering if that may have been the case and it was seeming to get pretty fight-y in tone, so I figured I’d get my own clarification in case other users want to also understand without getting into a fight

              Sometimes it’s nice to have a break from all the hardcore political stuff, and the upvote rate on this post pretty much proves that point lol as far as the user base cares, you did good!
