That is probably true. I tried looking into it, but there's like only one interview that deals with the crying statue of liberty and Kelly frustratingly enough doesn't break character:

BNR: Where did you first get the idea for the crying Statue of Liberty who so often appears in your cartoons?

SK: I take issue with your question. Lady Liberty is a powerful symbol of our nation, and I take great care to use her sparingly. It’s only when a cartoon is dealing with issues crucial to the survival of the Republic that I usher her into my panel. To see her shed a single tear should be enough to reduce every honest, patriotic American to a puddle of distraught emotion. I think hard and long before I use a weapon like that on my readers.

Pretty funny answer though

I'm sure the crying statue of liberty is less of a prediction and more of Stan Kelly lifting the joke straight from this panel. There's simply no way he isn't aware of Watchmen.

I don’t understand what all the outrage was about.

I genuinely believe gamergate was and is an online movement that continues to beg for more serious analysis. It wasn't a harbinger of Trump politics like some pundits think, actually it was a culmination of half a decade of continuous culture war waged by Rush Limbaugh types during the Obama years, and eventually evolved into a the more coherent belief of "politics is downstream from culture" by Andrew Breitbart. I said this before but this "culture war" was waged on several fronts, from movies, to sci-fi books to fucking MtG. Breitbart the magazine under Bannon was just waiting for the right movement to latch itself onto and the most explosive one was GG.

lmao not even, it got a mention on Kotaku due to DepressionQuest being, well, a means to convey a rough equivalent to being depressed. no reviews at all, literally just a little bit of coverage. Though tbh I'm thinking about it and I think Sarkeesian slamming predated gamergate, actually.

Can't say I feel any empathy for the guy, but the gal to tell an employee to go become cannon fodder on a war you cannot possibly win is all sorts of fucked up.

It's the very beginning that is very frustrating. No wonder everyone gravitates towards sorry cop, you're completely fucking useless and a complete fuck up who can't even do basic cop shit. Once that's dealt with, the game picks up pace really quick, and you'll have some good bearings on what you stats you want to focus on and it'll make you feel like big dick gumshoe.

yeah Matt's performance of BIG DICK COPS is not, let's say, convincing. Plus the game is now fully voice acted which very much elevates the entire experience.

I still can't believe the "No Russian" thing was a real thing, what the fuck was that. That was some CIA conditioning bullshit I swear to god

do you think these people are aware that the majority of people on the earth's standards of living are positively destitute compared to their own standards of living?
