I had to take a moment to see where you were coming from as I was confused initially. My experiences and feelings in life have made this type of humor appeal to me as a way of coping with how deranged life is.. I can see I need to put a little more thought into external consideration seeing as a joke (which inherently is a coping mechanism if I'm being honest here) that I may find funny, may in fact be a projection of my own denial. That isn't healthy at all. My intentions were not to impose, and I see I need to put more thought into my intentions.

That's certainly a way better way to look at the picture. I should learn a thing or two.
I doubt that the artist had any deeper intent beyond the "sick joke". If you have another interpretation I would say those are your own ideas, not the artist's. Internet comic artists avoid like the plague anything that would confuse their audience, so they tend to be as literal as they can.

But if the joke was literal wouldn't we getting offended about a thought-loop of gluten. I'm sorry this forum more and more comes off as a popularity contest. I bid farewell, although thank you for the wonderful reading material. I've learned a lot, hut this site is not more me. I wish you all the best in you work
When person grown up, everyone has own idea and opinion, even you!
So when you post something out, surely need to prepare to accept some other reaction that is different than yours.
In fact, various kinds of reply will make your personal grow, if you accept and think about it.
But if you want to stay with people that always praise you, no matter what you do and play your games then nobody can stop you.

Perri, I wasn't meaning to call anyone out on anything, even if it came off that way. I just noticed that I was seeing a lot of interpretations being given to something that didn't really deserve the credit (in my perception of course). I think we tend to try to see the best in things and sometimes aren't as critical as we could be.

It seems that, unfortunately, you missed the main point of the forum. But then, each of us is different and on a different path, so perhaps the forum isn't for you after all. What's for sure, it can be a very intense learning experience, and definitely not a "popularity contest". But it can be also very educating and hopeful, because we have a rather cool community here.
Basically, what you experience depends on your willingness to learn and give. It isn't for everyone, but the door never closed to anyone who wants to give it another genuine try. As for art "being subjective", that's just postmodernist twist. Real art is objective and is understood on a visceral level. The problem is, that what is being passed for art nowadays is no more that expression of a sick mind. Here are some relevant articles.
Corruption of Art: I am sick of pretending - I don't "get" art!

Wow, and I thought this section of the forum was for humour. No wonder the guy got scared when everyone is acting so uptight and serious.
Perri, if you're still reading... you wrote in your intro that you're easily discouraged. I think this is a case in point. Don't let it get to you.
These guys have been focusing on serious topics for so long that they sometimes forget how to relax.

You've already made it clear that you do not intend to follow the rules of the forum in your first post.

Since that was a useful contribution to an important health thread, and that was your only interest (or so you claimed), it was allowed to pass with no comment.
However, the above is a bit more participatory in the forum at large. If you intend to continue along this line, you will need to comply with the guidelines.
Just to make it more explicit as to the weirdness of the gingerbread man "joke". Keep in mind, we eat gingerbread in the form of houses and "men". To equate a food item with a human of flesh, and the house as being flesh, can sort of instantly trigger revulsion just as one is revolted by cannibalism.
It's quite different from the butterfly/man/dream which deals with two types of LIVING creatures, not a living being versus a cookie. It's kind of sick to think of a cookie as a man (or whatever) and then purpose/propose to eat it.
Try to think of the symbology there.
And if Perri475's sensibilities are so fragile, he wouldn't make it here anyway.

All right. I don't think that symbology was intended by Perri or the cartoon's author (and one could probably find some unintended symbology in just about anything), but I get your point(s). Thanks for taking the time to explain.
