MODERATORS
Thank you. What's with this edit? No animation, no author credit, awkward phrasing, poor fitting of the text to the speech bubbles...
Tbf it's a lot harder to edit a gif than a picture. Removing author credit is lame af though. It was very obviously intentionally done.
True, though Gimp makes it pretty easy when the text is in the same spot each frame like that: Make a new layer for blocking over the old text, put the new text on a layer above that one, then export to gif.

Yeah I also feel like the original one does a better job getting the same general point across
No, it's a different point
Same point. It's the same sword and a sword has only a single point. The pointy end.
Sometimes the holdy end has a point too.
Thanks for using the proper sword terminology.
The edit fumbled it so hard it feels pro-violence
Oh, it is.
“Choose peace rather than confrontation. Except in cases where we cannot get, where we cannot proceed, where we cannot move forward. Then, if the only alternative is violence, we will use violence.”
—Nelson Mandela, Gaza (1999)
This edit feels forced.
It's a shame because the edit is accurate.
The second panel starts with a hell of a garden-path sentence.
I hope that someday, you can forgive me
