Is there any of that here?
No, so you’re reaching & pulling shit out your ass.
Point out what in the comic conveys a definite opinion/judgement/attitude/stance toward the depicted subject.
Anyone can see no opinion is indicated: it’s nonjudgemental & leaves unspecified how you should feel.
The only judgements “there” are those you project onto the author apropos of nothing.
Is the author seriously claiming there’s a high incidence of brawls in the subway or posing other scientific assertions?
Not necessarily: the comedic irony still works without that assumption.
Is Naked Gun claiming anything serious about police procedures & crime?
Likewise, no, and I think we know that.
The judgement seems premature or poorly supported and somewhat masturbatory & contrived.
It’s tedious.
Ignoring basics of how these genres work is pretense.
Whenever I see contrived pretense like that I’m going to ridicule & criticize it.
Why are you fixated on “taking seriously”?
“It’s just a joke bro” has never been an excuse for (for example) racism, sexism, and other poor behavior.
