"Memed into oblivion"
You mean the time a cringey subreddit faked a tweet of StoneToss claiming to hate Among Us resulting in a bunch of Among Us edits and StoneToss himself eventually using Among Us in a comic and subsequently hiding an Amogus in every comic?
You sure showed him by potentially introducing his comics to people who would otherwise never have known about him! How shall he ever recover from such devastation?
The problem with this is that their goal isn't so much to make his points ridiculous, it's more to affirm the beliefs of those around them to be that of their own. Say they show someone a stonetoss comic that isn't an edit, and they react the wrong way to it. Bam! Secret nazi found! Or if they say the edit is stupid, etc. If these asshats ever cared about converting people they'd come up with a method to rebuke their political opponents that don't involve leveraging society and media to smear them as horrible monsters worthy of only scorn.This is a clever subversion. Now he's made it so the very people who created this meme are now going to spend a lot more time actually looking at his comic just to find the meme they created. So the very people who disagree with him most are going to be staring at his comics intently.
This is one of the most smooth-brained takes I've ever seen on the confederate flag, it's history, and how it relates as a symbol to the south. This is coming from a guy who thinks it's gay as fuck to be seen with one. The civil war as a conflict and the reasons people feel pride in that flag are more complicated than "they were traitors and racists, lol" or "repeal the 13th lmao fuck niggers". It's as brain-dead as getting pissed about people who like the original U.S. flag, with the reason being that "they were just a bunch of uppity colonists turned traitor who were pissed about taxes".It's a shitty one and the confederate flag if it isn't the flag of racists is still the flag of traitors.
