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.

But the first few comments were calling for this post to be removed because "political topics get in the way of our engagement" (direct quote). If you're saying just having a trans pin in the image is political, then doesn't that apply to every other image in Danbooru with a trans pin, trans flag, etc?
First it's a bullpup(bad trigger, bad ergonomics) And the famas especially have bad plastic, bad magazines and bad ammo and is hard to take care of. The only contemporary worst was the british SA80's MCX-SPEAR gets third place.

One British museum keeper is feeling quite crossed because he really doesn't have a credible threat that he can deliver.
The FAMAS was used by the French in many conflicts. They seem to have liked it. Same goes for the SA80 AFTER H&K repaired it. Therer are other weapons, that were definitly hated by the users: The ZIP.22, the Merill-Carbine, the Beda 30 ...
Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armory Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history.
That is his full title and it is crucial you address him as such whenever you're to address him. Royal Armoury is the youtube channel although his more popular work is on the EXP channel, where we torture him with all manners of nonsensical weaponries throughout fiction.
