Two Panel Comic
1: [Blue background. A slightly overweight white man wears a camo bullet proof vest over a black t-shirt. He has a black baseball cap on his head and wears a red bandana over his nose and mouth. He wears a menacing expression on his face.]
Guy: I’m a Proud Boy and I will never stop fighting for true manliness!
2: [Pink background. The Proud Boy now twiddles his fingers, with an abashed expression on his face. His eyes are drawn in an anime style with an anime blush across his nose and cheeks.]
Guy: But I also gotta hide my face because I’m a widdle soft-as-baby-shit chicken.

PizzaCake is political Garfield
It’s not clever, it’s not funny, it’s not edgy, it’s not smart… it’s the predictable safe, tired, thing and for some reason people eat it up
“HAHA, Mondays do suck!”
“Right, why cover your face if you’re so proud?”
Genius level creativity here, definitely not the same tired joke everyone makes all of the time and have been making for years

You heard it here, Folks.
No more making fun of conservatives hiding behind masks. Velvets tired of the comments.
Do people not like Garfield? I love Garfield.
Hey at least we don’t get banned here for calling out hackery.
Hate this genre because it comes back to us when we are criticized for being masked in protests when its nothing to do with “manliness” for either of us its op sec.
Yeah as someone who hates Proud Boys, this is obviously a bad faith attack on them which has the exact blowback you say.
People doing (or threatening to do) political violence are usually going to want to hide their identities from law enforcement and employers, and virtually everyone is afraid of getting arrested and/or fired.
Nothing more manly and heterosexual than belonging to a group named after a song in a Disney musical stage play
The name itself is one of non manliness.
Maybe they should switch to, “Men with Pride”?
I’m so manly I can’t wear a medical mask to save lives. But I sure am willing to wear one to be an absolute shitbag in cowardice.
In the age of mass surveillance, it might be good to take a page from their behaviors.
Kinda crazy we’re not all hiding our faces all the time.
The pandemic sucked but I’m just glad that it’s socially acceptable to wear a mask anywhere in the world now.
Where I am the pandemic changed nothing about the acceptance of masking. Even during the pandemic I had people asking me to remove my mask.
Uhh in much of shithole countries (America) you can get shot for wearing a covid mask. Or at least disrespected.
I’d be publicly shamed if I wore one everywhere.
I wear one everywhere, but I’m a woman so I’m more treated as “aww silly girl” sort of thing.
Why would you wear one now? Risk of infection is basically zero these days, or at least no one is tracking or worrying about it anymore.
I mean this is what most people around me also think, basically “covids gone”, which I’m sure isnt really true, but I also can’t live in fear forever.
It’s still out there. If you were worried and plannimg to be in a crowd, i could see it.
Also, if you have a flu or something and you don’t mask up, I think you’re a dick =p
The only ones I’ve seen with masks the last few years are Asians in airports when I’m traveling, and they wore those even before covid so I’m not sure it’s covid related.
it’s definitely more expected among various asian cultures. My city has a pretty large contingent of Chinese, Taiwanese, HKers, etc.
I think it’s an expectation that really SHOULD spread to everyone. Masking up when you’re sick it an awesome idea.
It really is idiodic that they politicized a virus and now we all are less safe becuase of it.
There’s a difference between disabling a flock camera and protesting.
It’s pointless with current surveillance tech. Even juggalo face paint doesn’t work anymore
Idk how true that actually is and how much is demoralizing disinformation.
An obstacle is still an obstacle. Every bit counts
It’s not pointless you just have to be creative. IR LEDs are cheap and their light is invisible to us but enough light can flood out a camera feed. You can get/build a cheap device that detects these devices’ BLE signatures and further automate from there. (E.g. : use that data to populate a map, then use the map to inform other strategies/hide yourself within a certain range.)
There’s gotta be other turnkey stuff that walks the line of being offensive while not being conspicuous or doing permanent (physical) damage, I just haven’t come across it yet or it is coming.
This fight is far from over
Gotta mask and put a rock in your shoe.
Proud boys have those specific colors, no idea why pizzacake went with antifa colors here.
She probably just doesn’t have a copy of the antifa handbook they give out during orientation. Might just need to run down to the headquarters for a new copy.
So sloppy. How did she even graduate Antifa War College?
Hey, my alma mater. I still remember how my litter box smelled
I mean,
Proud Boy:
Antifa:
If you’re gonna make stuff shared with thousands you might want to get your imagery right before you do the regime’s work for them.
Youre way overthinking this
I dont think so.
Pick me to one when you’re there, please. I don’t want people thinking I’m profa like Hitler.
This is as funny as the Facebook memes conservatives use where a blue hair person says “everything I don’t like is Hitler!”
Low tier content that is degrading society
Found the Proud Boy
These comments are hilarious consider I find both the be lacking in quality
Hurr durr “found duh proud boy” go back to reddit.
The second nitwit assumed I like those guys or think the conservative memes are funny.
And the third - actually funnier than the meme. Have an updoot
Its not funny?
What I find funny is your example cluelessly agrees with the comic.
Reee blue hair (on a person who isnt hiding their choices.)
Meanwhile we have people cosplaying as surrender flags and wanna be storm troopers… hiding their faces.
Gotta come armed to the protest and hide my face otherwise the truth might hurt me.
Its okay snowflake. You’re just as brave and manly as the props and compensation make you think you are.
Nice try ICE
Well it’s either that or they’re hardened criminals who know exactly how not to get caught.
They aren’t proud if they are wearing masks. Are even really boys either? Is it all a facade? …
they want to be approachable to the politicians in DC, so they call themselves “boys”.
they cover their face to keep the facade up that they are just “big boys”.
I love þe subtle touches, like how he’s muffin-topping þat vest.
