The triple parentheses are a racist dogwhistle to point out Jewish folks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_parentheses

And I guess, because the person on the right is a racist, when they’re talking about themselves (a Jew), they use those triple parentheses…

Additional context: when the triple parentheses first came into use it was used in the conspiracy theory sort of way so it was usually used for they and them

Example: (((they))) are indoctrinating our children

I prefer excessive parentheses to be programmers’ jokes about LISP-like languages, thanks

That’s because it doesn’t make sense.

would have been better if (((they))) said they’re a self-hating non-binary jew. I didn’t get that they were supposed to be racist against themselves

like the joke is also stupid and bad but on top of that the execution is terrible

yeah, it seems like the author just forgot that the word “antisemite” exists and went with a more confusing route

You have to have run into some exceptionally shitty parts of the Internet to understand that one, and this is the Internet we’re talking about.

Just Reddit will do.

I’ve seen people explain that particular, shall we say, use of punctuation, on Reddit, but I never saw anybody earnestly do it. I think you’ve got to drop at least one level lower on the cultural tactfulness to get there.

Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…
