- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

in one episode of the culture war the right wing focused on soy as leftist and woke and disgusting because it contains phytoestrogens, which are very unhelpfully named and don't actually function like human estrogen but they love to pretend they do. there's also vague bigotry because wow soy is sooo different and different is bad. there's also the fetishization of history and white men's culture of drinking cow milk, and if you are lactose intolerant they probably also expect you to just deal with the pain and the shits because a real man must always experience pain or whatever.
IMO the real issue with alternative milks is that they're popular with left-leaning people, because of concerns about the environment or animal welfare. And rightwingers hate everything that might make the world a better place and/or is popular with left-leaning people.
oh wow i totally forgot about anti-cruelty ideas and initiatives, but you're totally right. i apologize.
Soy aggravates my IBS, and I am forever getting people looking at me funny because avoiding soy has become a right-wing talking point. I hate it so much.
that's unfortunate
WTF soy bean is such an important source of protein besides animal products
I don't understand why people are so surprised right-wingers don't have rational consistency to their thought processes. Have none of you been paying attention to them for the last 3-5 decades?
Nothing they do is surprising based on their historical words and actions but people still be out there voting Republican (or not voting Democrat in every election) because "they can't be that bad!"
You'd think their natural human reason would emerge every once in a while, but no, they have developed a memeplex to keep it suppressed. "Hypocrisy is their secret handshake" helps me remember that they practice dishonesty and irrationality diligently.
