Your splitting hairs to suit your viewpoint, go and check Mark Knights work yourself if you can be bothered 

I see it as recognisably Serena at her worst, her behaviour was dehumanising and over the top, I guess the caricature captured that, she doesn't deserve any sympathy after her dreadful display, the Umpire and Naomi on the other hand do  

Serena at her worst? The hyperbole is so intense this week it's causing amnesia. What about the 2009 debacle? That was exponentially worse as evidenced by her $92,000 fine by the USTA in 2009 vs the $17,000 for Saturday's events.

Anyhoo, it's quite comical that one group of people can be offended by Serena's meltdown this past Saturday yet can easily turn a blind eye to equally offensive illustrations at her expense. Multiple parties are guilty of outrage culture, not just leftists, feminists, civil rights activists, etc;  

My issue was not just the picture of Serena but the whole piece.  Someone tell me why you need to make Naomi a blood white girl pleading with the judge to let Serena win, especially when you make her this obese gross looking black woman.  Its not just the one image its the whole composition and what its trying to say more than anything else.  This is more about how this piece stereotypes a black woman compared to a white woman and it tries to give off that the black woman is this angry beast while portraying incorrectly her opponent as some calm white woman contemplating letting the angry black woman win.
