Do you reject with equal vehemence the rhetoric advocating for violence in the comic in the last panel?

Burn it all to the mother-fucking ground!

What do you think she is suggesting we burn? Hint: it’s not men.

So it's okay for her to advocate violence so long as it isn't specific to men?

What’s the difference between this and the “kill it with fire” meme that’s been floating around for years? Have we really reached such a low point in public literacy that the use of hyperbole in a comic strip requires a disclaimer?
