Xkcd has recurring characters and storyline that are separated but connected. Blackhat is basically an asshole with style character (a classhole). The girl is Danish, the only person to one up him, and them meeting and their relationship is in the “Journal” series.
A few others are white hat, who isn’t always the same person, as well as Cueball, Mrs Roberts (mother of Lil Bobby tables) and a few others. You don’t need tro know them to get a comics joke, but if you follow the whole work it’s like little Easter eggs you can find.
Makes much more sense in context.
Yo fuck this panel lol
It’s talking specifically about people who tear other people down to make themselves feel good, negging.
I don’t remember xkcd being so mean
The full comic was posted by @glibg10b@lemmy.ml in this thread. Read it. The context is very important in this case.
Realizing I had ADHD and Social Anxiety, and that there are coping mechanisms and drugs to help has me really optimistic.
Things aren’t rainbows and unicorns just yet, but the rain at least seems to be letting go up.
