Some of the captions for these images[edit]

How come every third caption is along the lines of "LOL he used MS paint HAHAHA" and "What's a joke?". There's plenty else to criticize, so why resort to criticisms which are logically invalid? 50.35.79.94 (talk) 08:38, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

There isn't anything to criticize, stone toss is correct about everything. — Unsigned, by: 2607:fb91:1996:6add:b03a:cba1:9c3b:9e26 / talk / contribs

Anti-circumcision comic[edit]

That last comic seems like a liberal idea to me, the rest is just outright dumb. At least to me, it seems like the most rational comic on this whole page. I'm also anti-circumcision, so go figure.—HamburgerPlate Spinning-Burger.gif (talkstalk) 01:31, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Opposition to circumcision is usually a Men's Rights Activist or young 3rd-wave feminist position. Feel free to expand on the non-Nazi-ness of that comic in particular. Fuzzy "Cat" Potato, Jr. (talk/stalk) 04:27, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
I just came to the realization that circumcision has a Jewish origin, thus this may have an influence on the author's view.—HamburgerPlate Spinning-Burger.gif (talkstalk) 22:16, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
The "Blood Sucker" comic may also be alluding to circumcision, specifically the practice of Metzitzah B'Peh, where the mohel draws blood from the circumcised penis orally. 70.27.91.71 (talk) 20:07, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Any prominence before Spencer?[edit]

AFAICT it was that Spencer tweet that brought the existence of this thing to people's attention - did it get much notice before that? - David Gerard (talk) 10:51, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

*shrug* I knew about it, IDK from where. Here's the Google Trends for RedPanels and here's the Alexa for RedPanels.com. FᴜᴢᴢʏCᴀᴛPᴏᴛᴀᴛᴏ, Esϙᴜɪʀᴇ (talk/stalk) 13:11, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
I knew about it as well. I'd seen it linked in various alt-right/chan/anti-SJW contexts. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 03:32, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Evangelion[edit]

Heresy that comic is heresy. Commie Lib (talk) 20:09, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Moved out of bronze[edit]

The page is an example reel, which is somewhat stubby. Techpriest (I am Alpharius! / Pencil.png / Tux icon.png / Shield.png) 11:06, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

It could be interesting to incorporate more information about Stonetoss from this article. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 12:31, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

We’ve already got a stonetoss article. Christopher (talk) 12:37, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
It appears to have the exact same issue as this article, so the Reddit post is still worth considering. Additionally, shouldn't Redpanels and Stonetoss be the same person? If so both articles could dive further into his personality. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 12:43, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
I’ve never actually seen any proof they’re the same, although it is a possibility. The article seems to treat it as fact. Christopher (talk) 12:45, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

"Because electricity is a cultural thing! Oh wait, no it isn't"[edit]

Except the discovery and use of electricity was pioneered predominately by western society - especially Anglo society, in the US (see Benjamin Franklin) and the UK - and it is very unlikely that without European and "white American" inventions, sub-Saharan African cultures would have harnessed electricity any time soon. Red Panels/StoneToss is unfortunately right here and this page looks like the usual deluded "progressive" page due to stupid comments like the one quoted above.

The use of elecricity was a cultural thing that other cultures have adopted, in the same way that white culture adopted dreads and other things claimed to be "cultural appropriation" by certain "progressives". Trains are another European cultural product that has seen widespread adoption around the globe, as is the modern three piece suit. Widespread adoption of something doesn't change their cultural origin. Is a dashiki not a cultural product of West Africa just because they became widespread with hippies? Mong The Merciful
