Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

no one is saying this, are they?

Jesus McFucking Christ. We're all cooked, all around the world.
Yes, people are saying this. Search any major social media site. Or Google the phrase for any number of articles about the rise of this and other similar sentiments online and irl.
It's a third post about that I'm seeing today. I guess another trend is coming.
Fediverse is hardly keeping up. It's already a trend. That's why I'm still on X (and I hate to do that), where all of it is shown in realtime. There are already elementary school boys spouting that stuff to their female classmates. Read a tweet from a teacher who cheered a girl that snapped and knocked a boy out after he said it.

Sounds like incels in larval form. Sad.
Sad for observers, absolutely terrifying for potential victims.
It’s fascists. They’ve been actively recruiting boys on social media for a while and promoting extreme misogyny. The goal is to create an environment in which women can be forced against our will to be their wives. They’re recruiting them for the Christian version of Iran
I've got no doubt a handful of trolls have been saying it, but nobody who holds any real power.
Just a group of people lying to themselves about why nobody likes or supports them.
Those who hold power have already said it with their abortion bans with no exemptions in case of rape.
Nobody has been using it as a slogan, genius.

So, a handful of little shits at a school, use it, and it's official?
Is a 52k trending post not sufficient to qualify as a slogan? That's more pull than most marketing campaigns actually achieve.
If anything, little (and not so little, the incidents are being reported on campus) shits using it is worse, because it's a pretty good reflection of where the next generation is headed.
There should be a narcissist’s prayer for people who bury their heads in the sand.
That didn’t happen
And if it did, it’s contained online
And if it isn’t, it’s not popular
And if it is, you can ignore it
And if you can’t, ¯\(ツ)/¯
Why is it so important to you to be right about this?
Actions speak louder. But at least it's not overt marketing yet.
Supposedly it was coined by some right wing influencer and went viral
So it started with someone saying it seriously? Ick.
I assume it's ultimately serious (they want to drop the pretense that it's about the value of the life of a fetus) but a use of irony poisoning on some level. Some real zero self awareness assholes regardless.
Why are you insisting so hard on this not being really a thing? As if ignoring this kind of stuff EVER lead to any kind of improvement oO
A lot more than a handful.
