I'm not too proud to beg and point folks to my Paypal.

Know when I do it? when it's a matter of 'we can't afford to pay something vital like electricity because all our money went to the mortgage and food and other bills, and I just had to drop $800 I didn't have on car repairs in the dead of winter'.

Damn. I never knew such a thing existed. And here I've been working like a chump all these decades.

You'd figure they're all about boxes being empty.  Ba-dum-tsh!

Honestly at this point I wouldn't be surprised if there were tumblrinas who would take less offence at the suggestion that being trans, whatever-kin, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera is a complete delusion and the mere suggestion that one might have such a condition would be grounds for lifetime lockup in an asylum than attempts to dance around the matter.

... I'm not sure they're wrong?

I mean, the cartoon makes the point that a lot of humour is transgressive in some way, and that's valid. But taken literally, it says that all humour must necessarily be transgressive, which is, y'know, not true. I'm not saying you should take it literally, because it's damn cartoon and all, but still.

And yeah, they frame it as the latest battle ground in the great struggle between marginalised groups and oppressors, but that's Tumblr for you.  That's the only way they know how to say something's bad.

Adding the word "cis" doesn't hide your sexism.

They're not wrong though.  Like Sigma said, it's not like taking pot shots at a minority is nothing new for these folks.  The fact is, the paper that got hit wasn't a satirical newspaper fighting the good fight but a rag who hadn't seen a line they didn't want to dance over Gangnam Style.

Ironbite-it's not offense it's pointing out how stupid a white box is.

Yeah, I agree with the Tumblr comments on this one. The cartoonist is whining that they basically can't make ANY jokes without mocking some kind of marginalized group. Charlie Hebdo isn't exactly biting satire; it's viciously anti-religious and advocates Islamophobia under the guise of "satire" and "free speech".
