wow, that is surprising libel.
and just gross.
offensive.
geez.
Not sure why the cartoonist hates women, but eh, guess i feel bad for his wife.
Everyone is susceptible to Russian and right wing propaganda I suppose. I don't even trust your intentions with this post.
- There are communities much more accepting of this that I could have posted it to if my intention was to spread it
  My ulterior motive is that it gets enough people to write in complaints
  
  That's great!
  I felt like your original post was sitting on the fence. "What do you think" and "I'm surprised" could be taken positively or negatively. While that should be how a discussion works, it is frequently taken advantage of by bad faith actors who can and will leave their spaces for whatever reason to sow discord.
  And especially since the original accusations against the two women originate from shady Russian sources, can never be too careful!
Hate just for the sake of hate. People get something out of it even though their life is so good, they have to scrape this hard to find someone to hate.
The guy's just not sharp enough to be a political cartoonist. Take a look at his recent work, it's clear that he is more of an illustrator than a writer. And then there's this: https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/simcoe-newspaper-cartoon-pope-apology-1.6424014
