SYABM comic 45 “Transitive Property of Victimhood”

I wonder why she specified ’white people’? Would non-whites get to be victims? Or did she take a cheap shot at whitey for Tumblr Points™, for in-group signalling? Maybe she didn’t want to blame non-Middle-Eastern Americans in general, and figured white people were a tolerable Tumblr target.

Because going “no, America as a whole isn’t the the real victim of the most deadly terrorist attack in history, because I say so. It’s actually me.” would be a tad too callous even for this hellsite.

No wonder she blocked people.

Beat panel of woman looking sad.

Woman looks offscreen right, and says: “What do you mean, ‘hypocritical’?”
