Because the artist, not unlike keonas, might not know about the thing people are seeing as a reference. That's why we go and find sources to see what artists say before adding tags.

That's like seeing a picture of an anime character doing a Nazi salute and saying "JA, I AM DOING ZE THIRD REICH!" but saying it can't be a reference to Hitler because someone doesn't get it. Hancock stands in that exact pose, points in that exact way, and talks down to people in that exact fashion. And it's hardly obscure, it's in the best selling manga of all time. Anyway, if you're still bizarrely unconvinced, check out the source link.
I didn't say "someone", I said the artist. If the artist doesn't know about the thing that people think is being parodied then it probably isn't a parody.
No, you said keonas didn't get it. It was obvious the artist got it, that's why he drew him in Hancock's trademark pose, saying something Hancock would say. So you added the link, well done then. It's just too bad you're too autistic to figure out obvious implications yourself without having something spelled out for you.
