The original meme is a strawman about kids who are in detention because they're "being persecuted for their religious and political opinions." There's another comic the girl is being kicked out of her home because she was reading the bible. And the father says something to her about how she'd better go out and get pregnant and have an abortion. The comic "artist" is a persecution fetishist who makes up strawman arguments to feel oppressed.

I know right, imagine putting in so much effort just to strip some people of their most basic and fundamental human rights and thinking you're the victim.

The worst part? The artist is super talented. Sucks to see it wasted like this.

No, the artist is not super talented.

Look at the hands in the last two panels.

Talented artists know how to draw hands and fingers well.

I love the style though, and as outsider art I have to say I'm a fan. It's like satire that doesn't know it's satire.

Oh I've been watching the evolution of it. It's been used as a template (the original) for quite a few things now.
