By all means, keep scoring massive own goals and wondering why more and more young men and turning to the far right.
"Here, let me describe you. If you feel targeted, it's that you are the irredeemable scum this comic describes"
Meanwhile, the comic describes men on the internet.
Super easy fix to the comic: add political leaning to the description. Literally one word to make fun of the people who need to be made fun of. Meanwhile, everyone here is bending over backwards to explain how collateral damage is perfectly fine, and isn't totally playing into the alt right's pipeline in the most avoidable way ever.
My point is that your strategy wouldn't work to relieve the tension. The alt right influencers and propagandists are manufacturing outrage. The feeling of being targeted is made up. It doesn't matter if anybody plays into it. Insecure young men feel that way regardless of what anybody on the left will say. It's a natural consequence of a patriarchal, atomized society where everyone is told that they're supposed to conform to gender ideals while being socially isolated.
