Here's what syscourse means in case balding cane-using Wikipedians with low-riding pants are wondering. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:42, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This feels like a mangling of interesting aspects of Wikipedia. I feel like there's two things here: queer youths (which I would count myself among) versus old professors is one of them. I think minimizing the spectrum between these different types of people and the amazing way they work together is a shame. The other is Wikipedia bureaucrats versus externally expert writers. Quoting Wikipedia policies at people in a smug way sucks! It's interesting that the sticking point here is a bad source that is relatively recent, it's hard to know what to really make of that, for me. Anyway, I'm sorry if Generalissima feels alienated by us youths with our neopronouns and syscourse :/ I hope we can figure out together how to replace Smith (2018) with a better source. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 14:23, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speaking as a balding middle-aged nonbinary queer who didn't know what syscourse meant until reading the above comment, I didn't find comic this particularly funny. But seeing the author's bio I figure it's not intentionally harsh, just maybe misguided and probably too obscure for a general Wikipedia audience. Funcrunch (talk) 16:31, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The "Previous Comix" button leads me to the Comix before the Comix before previous Comix and then, when I get to the actual previous Comix, the "Next Comix" button seems to be absent there. Strange, isn't it? WADroughtOfVowelsP 18:49, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
looking at some of these comments without looking at the actual comic (or the context of the author, who i diclose is my friend), you'd think this was some kind of egregiously offensive jab at both plural queer zoomers and at old white men... i think that says more about the jumpiness of the community than it does about the comic ... sawyer * he/they * talk 20:33, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
TIL we don’t have an encyclopedia article on Boomer humor. Also, I learned that only 16% of seniors use canes, which seems unusually low. For me, comedy that focuses on generational warfare is very low-hanging fruit, and should probably be avoided if it isn’t done with exceptional care. "Kids these days" comics are rarely funny across the board, but some people like Gary Larson managed to reinvent the idea by using young and old animals, often extinct species, to further heighten the absurdity. I think that kind of extreme take is what is missing here. Recently, some younger people have dismissed Larson as an example of Boomer humor, and I think that might be true for some of his panels, but Larson did manage to reinvent the genre in a unique way that appealed to many different generations. Perhaps if the Carter-era professor was also promoting an idea unique to his older generation in the 1970s it would have some comedic parity, and for me, that would be funny. Part of the problem is that you are giving the appearance of punching down at the younger generation who have not had as many opportunities as the older generation and have had to struggle and come into their own in an altogether unique way. This aspect is covered in some detail in our article on theories of humor. It can be difficult for some people of certain political affiliations to understand how this works.
