ID: 3 panel comic:

  1. A surprised looking person pops in to existence on a floating rock surrounded by fire, next to the devil.

  2. The person asks "wait a second-- why'd I end up in hell??"

  3. The devil, now taking up the entire frame, replies: "because centrism enables fascism"

Can someone ELI5 the bike thing?

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I kind of just did. Shen has a Facebook Messenger chat for his FB page, where only he can talk. People can reply to his messages with emojis, but that's it. He uses it to update his community on his comic and personal life ordeals.

For some reason, a bunch of people started spamming the bike emoji on every message he posted. He started freaking out about it, asking why people are using that emoji specifically. But no one can respond, so he just got more bike emojis. So it's become a thing, where he occasionally just gets frustrated that the bike emoji is the dominant response to everything he posts.

So that makes more sense, but- do people not like him? Seems unnecessarily antagonistic to do that and then call him “Bike Cuck” for no reason.

Did he do something? Or do people just not like his comics?

Okay. Now I think I get it. Thanks!

The clue is "cuck." Only right-wing shitheads use that term unironically.

It started pretty randomly and he fanned the flames by pointing it out. I think people were just enjoying watching him freak out about it - especially since he couldn't get a response to his inquiries without opening his chat to everyone. He seems to be taking it well, though.

Isn't that because of the stolen bike comic?

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I couldn't tell you. It appeared to start randomly on FB Messenger and he just made it worse by pointing it out to his followers. Now he gets hundreds of bike emojis on every comment he posts.
