What the fuck is a “Glowie”? Hold on, lemme google that…
Oh, it’s an alt-right term for an undercover cop (Source). Where’d that term come from, I wonder. Maybe if I read the article, I can find out!
Of course.
But, actually, we can discern something important from this strip: Tats isn’t picking up alt-right talking points secondhand from interacting with radfems/TERFs/transphobic groups and 4chan lingo filtering through to him. He’s hanging out in the kind of groups where people have reason to be paranoid that their co-posters are FBI agents. And even if Tats isn’t personally aware of the racist origins of the term, it speaks volumes as to the company he’s been keeping
Oh jeez, I wrote him off as “reverse Dave Sim” ages ago, I see there were subsequent developments
