Usually, Stonetoss comics have some semblance of a """joke""" in them but this is just totally incomprehensible to me
That comment section is cursed.

you know... giant private gaming corporation, Nintendo.
Probably because Link is a twink. Because we all know leftism is when you're a twink. But then again, Mario is a working class schmuck, too bad his girlfriend is a monarch though.

He's just seizing the means of reproduction. He will raise he and Peach's children to be Maoists.
No doubt they're incredibly mad at Samus Aran being a lady with a hand cannon.
But sometimes she has a catsuit and a whip, and that makes them feel very conflicted.

well, there's money in the bricks of the mushroom kingdom, so either she isn't collecting taxes and it's stored there or she has a very high tax rate and everyone is hiding their wealth.

Ok, I've been thinking about this comic for hours now and I have a theory.
The first three panels include activities that the leftist character admonishes as right-wing. In the description, StoneToss links to a study that says that muscular men are less likely to be left-wingers. So the leftists StoneToss character looks at a bodybuilder and thinks that bodybuilding must be a right-wing dog whistle. But they can't come forward and say it, because it would mean that being a left-winger means that you are physically weak and they find that embarrassing to admit.
Basically, the left-wing StoneToss character is okay not using Pepe The Frog character, OK sign, and "Come And Take It" flag because they are right-wing. But if they admit that working out is right-wing it means they are not able to partake in said activity. So they keep their mouth shut instead.
Ok, maybe I'm actually wrong. I think the weightlifter in the last panel is supposed to be whistling.
So I think the comic is saying that leftists think that everything is a dog whistle, but they actually aren't. And the only thing the left think isn't a dog whistle (working out) actually is.
Maybe I'm putting too much time and energy into trying to understand this shitty comic.
Ok, apparently “Lunk Alarm”, which is the title of the comic refers to an alarm at a gym called “Planet Fitness”. The alarm goes off if you drop the weights because some people think it’s aggressive and unwanted behavior.
So the leftist StoneToss character is observing the weightlifter if he drops the weights or not, because dropping the weights is a right-wing dog whistle. Because he doesn’t drop them, the leftist character keeps shut instead of shouting “dog whistle”.
The whole thing is so incredibly specific so thanks for @mr_world for explaining the significance of dropping weights!
I didn't even see the title of the comic but yes. This is very niche and you'd only get it if you knew of 4chan's /fit/ about 10 years ago and/or whatever right wing lifting subs reddit has.

Just such a baby-brain approach to thinking. Overweight men break concervative, too. But I don't see him making comics about shoving a whole pizza in your face to Own The Feminists.
It's as if to say everything else that the right winger does sets off the lunk alarm and they get memed on. He puts down the weight quietly and that doesn't set off the lunk alarm.
I think the idea is that slamming weights became a culture war thing in the fitness community due to activist gyms like Planet Fitness trying to create a fat-positive atmosphere and admonishing "lunks" aka beefy weight lifters. So slamming weights after a dead lift = right wing troll.
Planet Fitness wants to attract people who don't actually go to the gym to use their gyms.
The whole business model is to get your credit card info and hope you forget you signed up.
There's a CrossFit gym near my house that is basically a cult. Crazy expensive, but the model is to get you very enthusiastic about working out every day.
Could play into the whole action for action's sake and myth making of the past, the return to tradition bullshit. You've got people on the right who really think greeks were all hard body bronze gods.
You can see the weight lifter breathing out a cloud. I think that cloud is a whistle. He turns around with lips pursed, the infamous whistle mouth formation. And he has his finger held up. Getting the attention of the gentleman who is looking for the whistling dog, as I'd to say, "It was I all along."
