lemmy.world had difficulty handling new account registration when I tried moving from Reddit in June 2023, so I tried to find/join other instances. People said “it doesn’t matter which instance you join.”
Oh it definitely mattered.

Is the old guy a real person?
Looks like a dozen possible old white guys.
the link above has the answer:
On November 3rd, 2017, Facebook [1] user cartoonfartcat posted a four-panel webcomic of a man deciding not to have sex with a woman after noticing a picture of Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban on her dresser. As the man walks away outside, former Prime Minster Thaksin Shinawatra watches the man from his window.[2] The comic is a political cartoon about the Thai Political Crisis.[3] The post (shown below) received more than 1,700 shares, 400 comments and 10,000 reactions in a little over a month.
Never trust an AI summary.
Look at the window in the top-right of the bottom-right panel, he really is there
I missed it at first too lol
I don’t see it, these two look nothing alike.
Because they are two different people…? The names in the LLM summary are different.
Oh, you’re right, I just scanned over it and didn’t recognize that it was a reference to a political opponent.
I was distracted by the image!
(thank you for pointing it out)
The panels to me imply that the woman was intoxicated, and unable to give informed, sober consent. The man was going to sex her regardless of that, and instead of walking away because the woman was not able to give legitimate consent, he walked away because of a photo that may or not depict a personal preference.
