This is my point. You need to stop skimming and READ all the comics from the beginning and what she writes when she posts them. There is a difference between a light-hearted jab, an intelligent satire, and ignorant offensiveness. If you only read a comic or two, you don't get the whole picture and that is one reason why it's harder to find SATW as offensive as Hetalia.

I was skimming in search of a specific post I'd been told was relevant. Didn't find it (though I will gladly read it if someone can turn up a copy).

The comics I've been reading from the beginning. I've never not found their portrayal of the US entertaining. Like most people on dA, I rarely follow journals as well as works, and I'm hardly going to scour the whole thing with a fine-toothed comb looking for some mean thing said about America to be offended by.

Everyone has different tastes. I, for one, find this (http://humon.deviantart.com/#/d5f1v84) highly disrespectful and can't imagine any sane, sober, proud American actually doing that to the flag. If you think SATW is lighthearted and humon doesn't think what she says, that's your opinion.

[erinptah]

...Wait, what? A dude wearing a flag as a toga is your "so insulting to America" threshold? Okay, we are clearly never going to see eye-to-eye on this one, because I think that is an inane level of sensitivity to try to hold to.

ETA: I would be remiss for not including this.

No, the fact that humon thinks this is something a patriotic American would do is insulting. It's highly disrespectful to the flag and violates the Flag Code several times over.

Look up "people wearing the American flag" in GIS. I'm sure at least half of those people think that they're being patriotic.

Also consider all the shirts with the American flat printed on them. Not just in the center, but the ENTIRE shirt. There are also American flag boxers, bras and bathing suits.

I think you've chosen to put your foot down based on your beliefs of what you want to be true, not what is true (not that there's anything wrong with that, except you're making the argument for all patriotic Americans).

Also, consider Sarah Palin. She may have been insane, at least from my perspective, but I wouldn't call her unpatriotic. While she didn't WEAR the flag, she emblazoned it across her tour bus (thereby blatantly disrespecting the flag code's rule that it will never be used for advertising).

She also signed a flag at a rally, effectively defacing it and claiming it for her own.
