The rest of the $497 is to not get shot by police's bullets, shrapnel etc.

ITT we fact check hyperbole before deciding whether it's ideologically acceptable to declare it funny like a bunch of bitchasses

All I see here is a joke on absurd ticket prices & how to be thrifty. I don't think we're expected to treat the comic genre as scientific assertions on the incidence of brawls in the subway. Touch grass.

Please learn better media literacy skills.

Please don't pretend the lack of argument is a valid one. Maybe work on narrowmindedness (assuming your interpretation is correct)? Maybe work on not reading more into shit than merited by the occasion?

Do you treat Airplane!, Police Squad!, or Naked Gun as serious, scientific representations, too?

I don't really know what you mean by this

No, but I don't think anyone is saying this comic is a serious scientific representation, either.

What do you think people are saying? Why do you think people don't like this comic?

"Please learn better media literacy skills." is neither an argument nor a valid one. Cheap.

We have criticisms that the comic is propaganda that misrepresents the safety of subways (as if that were a real point).

Dickshit MAGAt cowboy cartoonist think NYC is still in the 1970s.

This is propaganda. The new York subways are safe.

Like, do you really think a system with 3 million daily riders has constant brawls?

All I see here is someone who doesn’t ride transit.

They also claim the word "woke" indicates a clear political orientation when it could go either way. The word could be used unironically, ironically, as a reclamation or reappropriation, derisively, self-critically. The comics shown don't express an unambiguous political attitude or sentiment anyone can objectively pin down.

People really seem to be projecting & acting on wild takes.

That's not an argument, bruh. You're just telling me you don't understand genres that aren't meant to be treated seriously.

Also confirming your rigid, narrowminded inability to accept that by claiming those who do accept that need literacy. In other words, cool projection.

But please, go on. Prove your 1 true irrefutable interpretation of this comic that isn't built on shaky suppositions & wankery.

Why are you fixated on "taking seriously"?

"It's just a joke bro" has never been an excuse for (for example) racism, sexism, and other poor behavior.
