Sorry, can you unpack that?
Ohhhh sorry, I was half asleep when I made that comment and missed the dogwhistle, this is in fact fash propaganda. I originally thought your problem with this was the use of pepe. Sorry for the confusion ๐ฅด
No worries.
I do actually have kind of a complicated ball of thoughts around cultural appropriation, in that using other people's cultural practices as mockery is a shitty thing to do, but I also tend to think of humanity as a unit, and that we're best off sharing our discoveries and innovations rather than siloing them in the way that that term is sometimes used to support - it's bad to tell people that they can't cook x, or do y, if they are doing it in net positive ways.
Pepe... I don't even know how to feel about. Original comic was cool? But then red teamers acted like dicks with it? But now people are trying to reclaim it? Idk.
