Nasty. I thought this was satire at first and had to read it back.

But... this applies to their capturing of every piece, including the opposing king and queen.

Has the person who made this played chess?

Fun facts about horseshoe crabs:

  • Not crabs, in fact not even close. Chelicerates like the arachnids.
  • Have photoreceptors in their "tail" (telson).

Edit: For some taxonomic context, king crabs are closer than shrimp are closer than woodlouse are closer than barnacles are closer than bees are closer than myriapods (centipedes and millipedes) are closer than horseshoe crabs to being crabs.

JK, thanks for the legalese

Expanding a bit:

  • “Filing entity” means "a domestic entity that is a corporation, limited partnership, limited liability company, professional association, cooperative, or real estate investment trust."
  • "Winding up" means "the process of winding up the business and affairs of a domestic entity as a result of the occurrence of an event requiring winding up."
  • "High managerial agent" can mean a few things.

All the legalese is saying is that if the AG sues to have a company dissolved and the court finds either that the company or a high-up at the company (in the course of their work at the company) keeps committing felonies, the court can, if deemed necessary to stop similar conduct in the future, require the company to wind up its affairs (i.e. get its shit in order) and then be terminated.

Texas Business Organizations Code, Title 1, Chapter 11, Subchapter G, Section 301 ("Involuntary winding up and termination of filing entity by court action"):

(a) A court may enter a decree requiring winding up of a filing entity's business and termination of the filing entity's existence if, as the result of an action brought under Section 11.303 ("The attorney general shall file an action against a filing entity in the name of the state seeking termination of the entity's existence if [...]"), the court finds that one or more of the following problems exist:

[...]

(5) public interest requires winding up and termination of the filing entity because:

(A) the filing entity has been convicted of a felony or a high managerial agent of the filing entity has been convicted of a felony committed in the conduct of the filing entity's affairs;

(B) the filing entity or high managerial agent has engaged in a persistent course of felonious conduct; and

(C) termination is necessary to prevent future felonious conduct of the same character.

So a mask is okay if it’s animal skins[?]

You're preaching to the choir on the speciesism angle.

This isn't my own prescriptivist moral judgment; it's trying to be descriptive of what someone would reasonably think "would otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers [...]". That attempt at descriptivism is why I was hoping for feedback like your comment.

Moreover, if you were to swap out the victims and faces in this comic with cows, pigs, etc., I'd probably still be asking the OP to mark this as NSFW.

There’s no gore or blood.

Interpreting "gore" as "pictures and videos of graphic violence and human death", this is:

  • an intentionally graphic illustration of human faces
  • that have been meticulously cut off of the heads of people
  • violently murdered by chainsaw
  • whose dried blood spatter is coating the apron of one of the characters

Hi, OP. I could see this being considered borderline, but I'd ask per Rule 2 that you mark this as NSFW. At the same time, I'd also like to hear others' thoughts on that request to get a better idea going forward.


(Edit: Undistinguishing, but still feel free to share here if and how you think the NSFW tag should be applied/enforced.)
