Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

The great coalition minimally won over far right polexit parties. I am silently freaking out inside over how close the win was. I do not understand Poles, the politics of the coalition government tend to be consistently very popular, yet people still go and vote far right despite them having the opposite policies.

I am still upset over the transphobia comic I posted about here recently. I do not understand how a member of a minority can be so hateful of a similar minority that the hate causes them to reject most of their own group and their art. Most of the iconic portrayals of lesbian love were created by artists who were either not cis lesbians or included sympathetic portrays of transgender people in their works!

Newest season of Black Butler was bad, like I expected. The whole intrigue could have been resolved in three episodes but was stretched out to ten.
