How the heck do you "violently express your opinion" in a non-physical medium? Seems like the logic of someone who is looking for an excuse to retaliate with actual violence. [[User:Andyd273|Andyd273]] ([[User talk:Andyd273|talk]]) 15:41, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 
 
 
: You realize that literally punching a person is not the only form of aggression and abuse? The internet is still connected to real world and things done there can have consequences. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.190.10|172.69.190.10]] 21:22, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 
 
 
:: Violence is not just aggression or abuse. You can be aggressive or abusive over the Internet, but the recent trend to start calling more things “violence” makes the word less useful. Yes, Internet abuse can be harmful, but it would be even more harmful if it had the potential to come with physical injury and a medical bill in extreme cases.

This is clearly a reference to [[386:_Duty_Calls]]. The chair is the same. Cueball's posture is the same. The desk is the same. The subject matter is roughly the same. The monitor and keyboard are now a laptop. Cueball's unhealthy obsession (which is still relatable to many) has become insanity.[[User:KDulcimer|KDulcimer]] ([[User talk:KDulcimer|talk]]) 17:23, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 
 
 
I think this comic is primarily commenting on the phenomenon of outrage addiction (relevant: [https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/between-church-and-hard-place/201209/is-our-political-outrage-addictive Psychology Today: "Is Our Political Outrage Addictive?"], [https://world.wng.org/2018/07/online_outrage_addiction World Magazine: "Online outrage addiction"], [https://qz.com/1333018/how-americans-can-break-their-outrage-addiction/ Quartz: "How Americans can break their outrage addiction"]).
