Real skateboards made a longboard in the early 2000’s with a graphic pushing a rollerblader and says “caution, this board makes wide turns”

Roller blades is fucking wak.  Wknd is fucking wak. Grant isn’t as funny as he thinks he is. He like one of the kids from drama class that took it serious and wasn’t just trying to get an easy c+. He so Hollywood. Scooters is ok. At least the little fool learns how to push and understands shin pain.

Having a negative opinion of rollerblading in 2024 is pathetic. Skateboarding completely and totally won; it beat out blading, BMX, scooters, etc. The war is over and we are now the mainstream. Everything else has been reduced to dust. But it’s worse than being a sore winner, it’s like caring passionately about a high school football rivalry decades after you graduated. Get a life.

shit up you dilbert. We don’t give a fuk wit u think we know you got a 4.0 gpa and had apples for your teacher. You hall monitor ass poster.

Oh god you’re back and still doing the same shtick. It wasn’t funny last year, not funny now. Work harder on your “quitting Slap” New Year’s resolution.

I’d rollerblade to drama class tomorrow to be back in high school.

i dont care about scooter jokes, but dehumanizing a specific group is quite messed up, even as a 'joke'. it is indeed a technic used for ethnical cleansing.
plus, the timing for this joke, as mentioned before
distasteful

[BALARGUE]

with the context of war in Gaza, or racism in general making a comeback, what if this drawing is about the stupidity of considering another group inferior ?
Do these 2 skateboarders look clever to you ?

it looks like we read the same joke. Did you or i get the point ?

"don't call em people, they're just filling material" could easily be a quote from some extremist representative

[Pasta Monster]

Polar always did graphics that had rollerbladers and people on scooters like this. The first Polar tee I got from one of the early drops was a grim reaper standing on people with scooters. I think it’s all from that one artist Jacob, whose last name begins with an O-.

Based on the outrage that people have for this, I wonder how people would have felt about the AH sticker with a guy pissing on a guy in a wheelchair.

Genocide? Lol shut up

I agree its crap but genocide.. fuck off what a mental stretch.

[close]

It’s not that I’m saying that image portrayal of rollerbladers and scooters being killed is genocide.
I am saying however that there is a parallel in calling people being murdered “not people” and piling up dead bodies to create a “ paradise” is definitely indicative and synonymous with/of ethnic cleansing.
I don’t think that Pontus is actually in favor of genocide or murder. But I do believe given the current circumstances and verbiage of the image, it’s in poor taste and pretty damn juvenile.

At the very least, it’s fucking corny and very cringey.

Scooter kids and rollerbladers get in the way and can fuck up the flow of your run, but so can other skateboarders. What else? They over wax shit? So do other skateboarders. A dork is a dork regardless of what sub culture they subscribe to.

That comic sucks and is an edgy rip off of all of the rip off one panel strips that Far Side inspired. US newspapers comics sections were full of this one panel junk from the 90's until they all mostly imploded. Honestly everything about this comic sucks and the artists should know it. What even is the funny bit?

[Mallie]

Moe, love you dawg, Casette is the shit, keep it going strong...

...but this is some Dalshim level stretching.

Lame? Yes.
Cringe? Hell yes.
Juvenile and sophomoric? Yessir.
Played out a couple of decades ago? Testify.

But tied in to a genocide, much less a particular one? Ehhhh...

He's not saying it's specific to the current genocide, but rather with the world as fucked as it is, do we really want to be making a joke about murdering a specific subculture?

The world is toxic enough with out us fantasizing over murdering people because of hobbies.

[TheLurper]

hey, hey, hey... if he who shall not be named, the nine club, and everyone else in the industry has taught me anything it is that that is SLAP is a place for racist, misogynist assholes. If we are going to maintain our rep, we need to support jokes that were done in poor taste.

I mean if we have any sort of moral compass, how will they be able to condemn us for being the worst people in the skateboarding and responsible for everything bad that ever happened in skateboarding?

[Troubadour26]

“Dalshim level stretching” is amazing

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

“Dalshim level stretching” is amazing

yeah, I’m gunna steal this one!
I don’t know really know how I feel about that graphic, but yeah, as a grown adult I defs  wouldn’t rock it.

[MichaelJacksonsGhost]

To add a little support to Moe’s criticism here, there definitely are numerous, documented instances of Israeli officials using dehumanizing language to refer to the Palestinian people. Similar language was used by the Rwandan government to incite hatred against the Tunis people. It’s a straightforward hegemonic practice: get your populace to no longer consider the victims of genocide as humans and you’re going to have a hell of a lot more people on board with your agenda. So I think there’s a pretty direct connection to this graphic and actual genocide which have happened or are happening now.

Lol yeah we know.

Still a stretch.

Doesn't take much effort to turn this into a right wing boomer comic.
Don't even have to change the dialogue

[addie pray]

polar is a zionist dog entity and hjalte left in solidarity

[pizzafliptofakie]

I wish people were half as mad about the actual genocide as they were about a cartoon that they think might be related to the genocide.

[DillsDarts]

With some of these takes y’all should go at the gold standard for releasing boards “sensationalizing” horrific serial killers … didn’t anti hero release a whole board series based around known terrorists??? What about thoseinnocent victims????
I mean c’mon guys this is a bit of stretch lol
