Maybe sometimes but it's wider used has generally been "fuck your legacy franchise, I'm doing my own shit no matter how retarded and completely unrelated it ends up". Aka, The Last Jedi.
I had hoped the artist would go all in on the parody and give her the literal mustache just for the sake of absurdity. Maybe it would have been too on the nose, or at least under it, although it could then be used to shitpost about drawing bearded/mustached women and being inclusive about all body types!
As the comic and your comment brings up it's only ever certain groups that get used this way, same IRL with disparaging comments towards "the easy target", because places like Charlie Hebdo show what happen when a more general range of topics gets used.
This isn't Sinfest.
Nerfnow!! touches on a lot of woke and general gaming topics, having started sort of as a TF2 comic that spun off various other characters, the lead is literally a female engineer/engy named Angie;

All with what I think is a Brazilian twist and POV on things. Also occasional flood related site outages.
It's covered quite a few game issues over the last few years and the comments section of each comic, albeit limited in character space, do generally lean anti-woke and anti-anti-consumer which a lot of games now are.
I'd engage with the site in the comments if it didn't require Facebook or Google to log in with.
Doesn't even have to be cultural. Think about the actual chemical properties of gold from the stance of the Periodic Table and what it then gets used for in industry.
It's the second least reactive metal there is, after Platinum.
It has great heat and electrical conductivity.
Dragons breath fire.
So dragons don't sleep on gold because of its monetary worth, they sleep on it because it helps them cool down, just like many animals will do when digging a shallow pit then lying on the cooler soil.
So to further consider your good natured hero dragon not only might he have to struggle with his own greed and wrath, he physically needs something like gold in order to stay comfortable.
Aka, Dungeons and Dragons and all things now woke.
the pit
Seeing as how Chris Pratt is being attacked, again, this seems apt.

One internet user noted that all the white characters were human beings, while black characters were depicted as monkeys in the book.
Sounds like he took "return to monke" to heart.
The user also pointed out that the women were typically drawn with plunging cleavage and tiny waists, and were “hyper-sexualised”.
Sounds like "the user" hasn't met any real women.
When your boss hands you a bad job, you still have to try and make it work.
Literal shitty example of this from the Game of Thrones books, Tyrion was put in charge of the sewers of Casterly Rock by his father as yet another attempted humiliation. Tyrion being the mad and petty genius that his is got the sewers running better than they ever had been.
I would have accepted "honka-honka", but only because of the nose and not whatever bolt on tits probably exist 🤡
Nobody else was retarded/narcissistic enough to walk into the obvious disaster that was looming results wise?
2024
What a fucking year it's been. Starts with GG2: SBI Boogaloo almost 10 years after the first, all those media flops as the wider consoomer market rejects Woke products en masse, ends ish with Trump re-taking the WH with a victory almost so abosolute the opposition couldn't even come up with a concession speech until a day later when everyone was sober enough to copy and paste something and prop the mouth piece up for a few minutes who still then went on to use the word "fight" 20 times if not more. Those would be considered fighting words/insurrectionist were it coming from others, ofc.
She was definitely a part of the product.
Vince, Linda, Shane, Stephanie, all of them were. Only ones I don't consider being part of it are any of the others who might exist that never stepped into the ring.
Hell, I still remember Linda using the "testicular fortitude" line back in the 90s/00s era of WWF/WWE. She might not have been as "active in the ring" as Vince, Shane, or even Steph, but Linda was absolutely there.
lol, that lasted all of what, 24 hours?
Anyone else remember when South Park did this bit 20+ years ago with the female Mayor when a group were asking for her and some assistant had to come out and tell them she wasn't able to? After being pushed on the topic the assistant sheepishly mentions the Mayor is on her period.
There's literally a pinned post for that:

The shitposting answer is they all took the vaxx and died suddenly because they trusted The Science™ after listening to the current and outgoing administration.
Quiet, Ben.
Same impression I got from the headline, and yet wouldn't be surprising in the slightest.
Printers ran out of yellow ink.
Pic is missing the men shielding dogs as well.
Maybe they suddenly lost their funding. 🤔
More actual open world options that don't railroad players into suffering through self insert OCs would also be nice, too. While I never did figure out what the fuck that random guy in the cave was for in Morrowind the game was still shitty enough to fail you if you killed him and you had to reload. Seeing as how I had already completed the main story without ever even going near the cave it had me question why bother having such an npc be that vital to things if they clearly weren't vital in the slightest.
Part of the problem there then is having competent writers who can deal with players going that far off script as players often do.
