Is he right ?

My best friend brother had a punisher tattoo on his arm. I never understood how "punisher" symbol is suddenly bad now.

Have you burned local today, anon

hehe

I feel like this guy is trying really hard to be the "official" Punisher but he's not selling it despite his best efforts

It's always been cringe, but it's become extra cringe because cops and zogbots (soldiers) like to slap cheap Punisher skull stickers on everything they own.

He's still acting like Shane in TWD and, as a result, he's ass in everything he's been since.

Dude, what if, like, the society was infested with """people""" who everyone knows is a criminal but couldn't do anything because they have too many civil rights?

Dude, what if, like, someone just shot them all with a gun?

I'm totally not supporting police brutality though

Remember that officer that broke into a druggies house, searched the druggies, 7 year old daughters room and got caught sniffing her underwear on the druggies nanny cam? oh and the guy had no drugs either

Remember when the cops arrested a guy for having jelly donut glaze in his car?

Remember when the cop dove and returned fire on an acorn that fell on his car?

Remember when the cop broke a guys collar bone by slamming him on the ground for going to work?

Remember the cops that tortured 2 guys for no reason and fired a gun through one of their cheeks (mouth)?

The problem with cops is that they're just like everyone else. Retarded, assholesm except they're state sponsored.

It's never been cringe. He's a character people like. It's no different than having Spider-Man related shit
This type of crap is why Kamala lost

I don't think I've ever seen a spider-man mask with the usual web-pattern-on-red replaced with a silver-blue-and-black American flag on the back of someone's car or on their hat. Honestly, that would be weirder than the skull, as I would just be baffled as to why someone would combine those elements.

This type of crap is why Kamala lost

Wasn't that because she's a fundamentally uncharismatic nothing person perceived as a somehow even more mediocre continuation of the Biden-era status quo?

It was never cringe. It's a skull, the shit every teenager likes and has liked since the 90s. What, gonna say Ghost Rider is also cringe?

Teenagers aren't the ones wearing Punisher t-shirts or putting Punisher skulls on their vehicles. 40 year old boomers are the ones doing it, because they think they're tough and cool like the Punisher.

Fight crime is racist now.

What about Marines and Navy SEALs?

Damn he's gonna make some fags over reddit really pissed off.
Good.

And those we have over here too!

It's never been cringe

now

GWOT started 20 years ago anon, all those guys are now 40+ year old boomers

It's not cringe or some power trip thing. Cool character that isn't any crazier than the typical action movie character. Only dorks have an issue with the character or his fans

This type of crap is why Kamala lost

Trump had 2 million votes more than Kamala in a nation of 360 million people. He won, sure, but pretending it was some huge landslide is cringe.

It’s just a culture shift thing. People saw all the riots and protests destroy their country over one drug addict or one bad election, suddenly wow, having police is a good thing now! Especially when you’ve made it where you legally can’t own a gun to defend yourself with!

Police unions in all 50 states, in both rural and urban counties, have shown support for gun control. They are some of the largest advocates for stricter regulations.

It's fine and good if you want to wear the merch on your own time and dime, but flaunting it as a government official comes off as a conflict of interests. A cop isn't supposed to approach things like the Punisher. Remember, the whole "friendly neighborhood" Spider-man moniker comes from what we used to use to refer to firemen and police officers. There's a ton of other duties police have that isn't punisher shit.
If someone acts like being a cop makes them an action movie hero, it'd be called out as fucking stupid. There's a whole movie about that. Looking to the Punisher as a mantra as a police officer is as stupid as thinking you're Will Smith in Bad Boys or Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon.

This society fears men with guns and a purpose.

It's not that serious, bro. Quit being weird.

Her team stopped talking to the press before 7 p.m. it was hard win because leftist are cringe

This long winded detached response is exactly why the entire discourse around the character is terrible. Detached lefties who can't have fun

I really don't think anon's friend has a purpose that's that deep. I would hope not. I hope anon's friend can live a nice quiet and peaceful life and has a family if he so wants.

That’s because Netflix Punisher sucks. He spends 90% screentime crying and bitching and only 10% punishing.

At least we got that "no no no wait wait wait" scene out of it. Funny meme.

When it comes to the police, it is that serious. There's a lot of codes of conduct to deal with on how they interact with the public. and how they present themselves
I have cops in my family. I'm into comics because of my godfather, who was one for 30 years(and yes, he's a Punisher fan. I got him into the Max books) I'm very pro-cop.

Every decent man wants to live a life of peace and quiet, but this world has proven time and again that peace can and will be broken, in macro, with war and strife, or micro, at the whims of the stupid and selfish.

Punisher's ideology is very cut and dry. If you harm innocent people, purposefully or by consequence of your actions, he will kill you. If you don't, you're safe. This is as fair as humanity can get.

I don't have a tattoo or anything, but I believe in protecting civvies from the malicious, and anon's friend probably does too. That's my purpose.

That's cool but I hope neither of your lives ever get that serious.

but what about [cherry picked examples]

But of course blacks would NEVER be that vindictive and evil tho

why are you comparing a profession one can chose to be to an entire race?

h-h-how do we appeal to conservatives

Fuck off. They made MCU punisher a whiny weak faggot. Too late.

Wasn't there a comic where the Punisher himself disavows the notion of his symbol being used by others or something

he tells cops who idolize him to idolize Captain America instead

Yes, comic Frank gets upset when he finds out cops have been using his logo (Punisher #13, 2018)

Assholes tend to really like the punisher skull. The majority of trucks that cut me off without blinkers have punisher stickers. Douchebags have decided that its their symbol

Under any other circumstance people would call it pretty cringe to larp as a capeshit character

Frank is right.

I’m convinced most people who wear or display a Punisher skull do it because they think it looks cool, not because they actually like Frank as a character

ah shit! you got cut off? time to kill all cops and destroy civilization I guess.

He unironically is. I believe Cap is the American every other American should strive to be.

No shit? The point is that you can’t advocate for defunding the police, AND taking civilian’s guns away. You are literally taking away every last defense you have against criminals; it’s suicidal empathy.

They hated him because he told the truth.

Come on now, anon. You know why he’s doing it.

Nigger it's that exact response as to why this is such a big deal, you faggots made it a big deal
Just have fun

I feel like the main problem with the police is that they tend to have a problem disciplining individual officers from abusing their powers. Like, regardless of how you feel about it, a police officer standing on someone’s neck for 7 minutes seems a bit harsh. Even if they did do something illegal, they deserve due process to be punished by the law for crimes they are convicted of.

looks just like my mother in law

No shit?

It's true, and there are articles from Texas to Florida about how much they hate things like permittless carry.
I'm not gonna lie and say I like cops, but I'm also not gonna lie to myself and say we need to put them on a shoestring budget. I do, however, think that most departments are fucking bloated and way to confrontational now. When I was a kid in 1994 the LAPD would roll up on me playing at the park, hand me a baseball card or piece of candy, tell me to stay safe and let them know if there's any trouble, and roll out. You don't see that anywhere anymore, not even in rural towns patrolled by sheriff's. Not to mention them kitting up like they're about to patrol Sadr city. I'm a gwot vet and the proliferation of troop vs insurgent mentality is terrible. They are your community, not Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Some police departments won't allow facial hair because it looks unprofessional, no shit people would make a big deal over putting a comic character symbol on public facing equipment.

all the best methheads

My godfather always takes about how switching from on-foot patrols to entirely car based ones in most areas was one of the worst things for optics and public relations when it came to police. Because now both cops and civilians would only see each other when there was trouble. It's far more efficient to patrol in car vs. on foot, but now cops stopped becoming familiar faces and people around the neighborhood

No. Cops who put the punisher skull on their personal cars or wear the shirts have completely missed the point of the punisher.
