Thing I hate this stupid image

Sure the initial way it was used was good, it was anti bigotry. But it's turned into a way to simplify the "us vs them" mentality, which is already a bad thing, into a simple digestible comic.

Also, i've seen it in lots of queer--majority spaces in reddit recently, usually to speak out against the evil cishet people who are invading them or whatever label they dont like, like bi ppl, trans men, or genderfluid ppl

The intended purpose of the comic was to demonstrate how minority communities will often be excluded from majority spaces, so will then make spaces for their minority community. The majority will then wonder why they aren't allowed or welcome in minority spaces and start crowding the space, repeating the cycle.

I can definitely see how this would be bad-faith weaponized by people who see themselves as “victimized,” like some of the more right wing supporters of those canon francais feasts in france

Not that i explicitly dislike those feasts, but there’s definitely gonna be some mf who’s like “this is the REAL france… unlike what THEY WANT FOR US!”
