They both seem lovely and fuck Coco Chanel.
But also, why is the girl on the left wearing a lamp-shade for a skirt?

I love how the Goth barista was so popular she became a recurring character
I've only ever seen her working at WcDonald's. Is she a barista, too?


My bad I thought she was a barista. I may have been crossing the streams with a different meme.
Youre rude to the goth barista because you hate service employees. I am rude to her because I want her to spit in my drink. We are not the same.
I'm missing something. What did number 26 do to deserve that?
I think it's just a general joke about how sometimes fast food can be extremely frustrating like that with no clear reason
It's just a joke about how when that happens (typically because the order after yours is smaller and was done sooner), it feels like a "fuck you".

The comic does, you're only missing the very clear subtext here because you don't have the context for the joke.
As a fashion designer, Coco Chanel's perspective on accessorizing is, to paraphrase, "look at yourself in the mirror before you go out and pick an accessory to take off and leave at home."
The fact that they're being encouraged to disregard a Nazi fashionista's signature accessory advice and to be "extra" instead is a very clear rejection of Chanel's beliefs.
You shouldn't be snarky to someone when they had to explain the joke to you
You didn't, you thought the artist didn't have anything to say about Nazis. XD
I didn't understand it. I dont even see the comic on my app.
The comic flippantly disregards Chanel's advice re: accessories based on the premise that because she was a Nazi collaborator her opinions, and those influenced by them, can and should be ignored.
If that is too nuanced for you to be able to determine a stance then there's no hope for you.
i mean, i only kind of like fashion (i just like halloween a little bit a lot too much and also putting outfits together and thrift shopping and going to the discount rack maybe okay) and i've been an art model (not a fashion model except the one time because i'm a teensy bit deformed even though i'm gorgeous), a few of my relatives either are or have been fashion models. also art models. so yeah i'm just now realizing there's charcoals of my bait and tackle and numerous buttholes out there somewhere that's fun. i hope they put them someplace classy, like over the toilet. i just don't know why i didn't bother to keep one for myself. probably the numerous buttholes part. uh i think i might have forgotten one of these thank you damn cat ) anyways my point is this is the first time i heard of Chanel's accessory advice. Now i gotta get me some summer scarves and go all extra thank you for the inspiration my wife will... actually probably kind of like it.
Whether or not you agree with it has nothing to do with the fact that the author's position is pretty clear.
Damn. Here I was taking you seriously and you go and drop the suggestion that disliking Hitler is an uncertain foundation for discussion and social context.
Have a good one.
Also this comic doesn't prescribe a stance on Chanel's beliefs. That's funny.
Do you honestly need the comic to explicitly spell out their stance and/or hold your hand through reading between the lines to figure it out yourself? I think this is more of a reading comprehension problem rather than a failure on the artist's part, no offense.
The joke only works if you already know the (admittedly famous) Coco Chanel quote.
Does it? I comprehended it just fine without prior knowledge of the quote.
The quote being discussed is not the one in the comic. It's that she Chanel said to take off the last accessory you put on before you go out, basically saying people out too many on. It's still obvious it's against Nazis, in my opinion, but knowing this tells you that they're ignoring her advice because she was wrong about plenty of other things, why should we assume she's right about this?
Well it certainly adds dimension to the joke, but I wouldn't say it wholly encompasses it.
You can still infer that the Nazi said something similar by looking at their expressions, the way they phrase things, and what they are surprised by.
The blonde is not surprised that the Nazi is quoted as an authority on fashion, but is surprised by the Nazi being a Nazi. The blue-haired person treats the Nazi quote as sufficient evidence to assuage the blonde's doubts.
If anything, you're interpreting this too narrowly. The blonde isn't anxious about the Nazi's opinion, but about the people that will see them at dinner. The comic suggests not just that the Nazi can be disregarded as a Nazi, but that the public perception of fashion is poisoned by Nazi standards and deserves to be defied.
It's funnier but it's not required
The same joke with Hugo Boss would amount to "Nazi bad", which is true but not terribly funny.
I wasn't talking about it not being Coco Chanel, but not knowing her. I didn't knew her and found it funny because I assumed she was an important person in fashion.
It the joke was made with someone unrelated to fashion it would be worse.
Hugo Boss was a fashion icon and a literal nazi, but the joke wouldn't work with him either. It works because it's a bait and switch: when the girl asks "you know what Coco Chanel said...", you're expecting the famous "Before you leave the house, look at yourself in the mirror and take one thing off."
Yes it is. Because nazis have very little reading comprehension.
What exactly is your point, here? Are you suggesting a comic about gay women and jewelry is by a Nazi? What are you getting at?
And btw, 'collaborator' in this context is usually a negative connotation unless she's talking about a Nazi fashion project.
Someone ”being a collaborator" is a negative phrase, just like being Infamous is being famous for bad things. No one calls someone a collaborator positively. "In collaboration," or "we collaborated" are innocent. "A collaborator," usually an accusation of being complicit in a crime.
True. That dude probably just loved team science projects with the Nazis, like Fun With Brownian Physics.
Collaboration makes the world go round. 👨❤️💋👨

oh so you're a pedophile
Stop rattling things off the top of your head that you've never investigated you absolute fucking moron.
I guess you were too overeager to vice signal that you're indifferent about raping and murdering children
Screenshotting this
Because you started the post with "I'm not a pedophile I just don't care if my global leaders are" and ended with a wiki article about Czech arms shipments to Israel in a 3 month dead thread
I didn’t use Lemmy for three months or so because it is ass. I log on, see someone has responded and respond back
That's some nice main character syndrome you have there
Can you elaborate on the last sentence?
