Well no shit, but I don't see anything in this image that makes it right or left or center or anything.

[–] horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Comparing a femme person's choice to decorate their own body and a graffitied building doesn't have overtones? Are you engaging with this honestly?

[–] Nougat@fedia.io -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't assume its source based solely on this image, because this image doesn't identify a source.

[–] horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ah, willfully ignorant then. Understood

[–] Nougat@fedia.io -3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There you go making assumptions again.

[–] horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm reflecting on your refusal to interact with the medium. That is not an assumption.

I don’t assume its source based solely on this image, because this image doesn’t identify a source.

We're not discussing a source, we're talking about a trend in conservative discource and how it applies to memes. This isn't a doctoral defense of the media. You dodged an honest question with a refusal to engage. Thus you're currently being, in this instance, willfully ignorant.

There's plenty of shitty fascist stuff to get enraged about that is supported by evidence.

[–] horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Now you're making assumptions, I'm not enraged.

I did however make the mistake of assuming you would argue in good faith. I acknowledge that now.

Read it again. I didn't say you were enraged.

I could super easily sit here at my own desk and make shitty memes and post them here, and I am way way far away from anything that could be described as "right wing." Anyone else can do the same. Has that happened here (maybe not even by OP but by wherever they got this from)? We don't know. There's nothing in this image to indicate who created this image or why.

I won't apologize for wanting anything which would go towards confirming that this was posted somewhere as a right wing meme. I haven't given up on facts.

Within the general context of the meme, it's pretty evident what the message is. It also aligns with right wing messaging decrying, specifically femme people from modifying their body in a show of agency and autonomy.

In the current zeitgeist it is the antithesis of the manosphere trad wife. So considering the general context of the moment it is a right wing talking point and a shitty one at that.

Nothing exists within a vacuum.

Here's a great primer on the subject
