What are you even talking about? That's literally what everyone here is saying.
No one is saying that "if you consume yuri, you are a pedo because Epstein also consumed yuri." The problem was that crazy yuri fans who were anti-lolisho spent years calling lolisho fans Epstein pedos. Then, once it was revealed Epstein consumed yuri stuff, but no lolisho, lolisho fans who were sick of all the harassment turned it back on the yuri fans.
Then those yuri fans said "You can't make jokes about Epstein that's offensive," which is hypocritical because THEY spent years making those same jokes when we already knew Epstein was a monster. The files being released don't suddenly change that. We already knew he was a monster, we just didn't know the extent of it.
To a degree, the clapback from Lolisho is warranted, but the problem NOW is that dumb lolisho fans are taking it to a degree where now they're claiming unironically that yuri and furry fans are pedos, and that all lgbt people are evil and etc etc etc. When, NO, that's a severe overreaction and is the same thing the bad yuri fans were doing.
Neither lolisho content nor yuri/ furry content are bad, but now people on both sides are acting like complete asshole morons.
Hearing from lolicons/shotacons what all LGBT people and yuri fans are pedos and evil is of course top tier irony
I mean the irony of the biggest pedophile in history liking yuri and be on their side is hilarious, but I think lolicons/shotacons shouldn't forget about people who were on their side too
nah B and /new/ were on that before. /pol/ was created for control of narrative and portray theorists as crazies.
It's no secret that 4chan's decline from an ocean of piss to an abyss of shit started around here, though. While partially it can be blamed on the influx of smartphone users, and thus a natural barrier was removed, the quality of janitors and the directions of what the narratives went into seem to be too artificial. That artificial stimulation might have been from water-armies, but they were often too easy to spot in the wild. There is also the theory that Epstein was Q-Anon himself, which would explain a lot.
My least favorite part about this are the yuri fans who didn't make any sorta joke get hit by this same hate. I get the hate of annoying yuri fans, but the shots are sometimes inaccurate. Honestly I predict some of reactions were less about justice and more about going on a slandering power trip.
as someone who doesn't twitter i don't even know what this image is trying to say
it's probably going to get deleted in 3 days because it's too badly drawn. the artist can't even draw a necktie right. idk why you would upload this to danbooru

Why not, putting aside the other imagery I thought Mallory looked cute
I don't really agree that the inclusion of the pin by itself means the IMAGE is expressing support of trans rights. I am sure the author does, but in the image itself, it's just there and isn't being commented on.
I didn't say any of that. Your original argument was that Rowling's views weren't mentioned. I'm saying they're indirectly mentioned through the pin. Just as some pro-trans people may avoid the series because of her views (and the groups she chooses to finance), some anti-trans people may support her series in part because they agree with her views. That's who the pin is aimed at. It's based on the assumption that Harry Potter fans are transphobes that would freak out at anything trans-related being mixed in.
It doesn't matter what the artist's views actually are. It's a troll post. The pin is part of the trolling, and based on the comments above, it was obviously effective.
And a trans flag pin only says "this character is trans".
It doesn't even say that. It's ambiguous whether the character is being portrayed as trans or just a trans ally. Either one would be sufficient to piss off the intended audience.
Which I do not see as political anymore than I would see an image of two men kissing as political.
That's great and all, but when a significant number on one side think transness isn't real, that they're just mentally ill at best or perverts at worst, even a simple acknowledgement of their existence is political. It shouldn't be, but that's just how it is right now.
It’s a reference to the volume 3 cover manga with a two main details: she’s playing the guitar left-handed in same pose and, just Jimi Hendrix used to do, is using a right-handed guitar but with the strings reversed (if you look closely, the headstock is upside down). If weren't for the Scott Pilgrim reference, it would be a perfect tribute to Shiori Experience... But I'm not complaining!
Not sure about Patchouli's first line in the bottom right panel. She could be suggesting that having Remilia in this form is Sakuya's preference, but I chose to go with the other interpretation because she doesn't really seem too happy about the situation.
