  • Stop putting words in my mouth and implying I’m an extremist. Personal freedom above all else, I am not saying they should be forced to show their face.

    We are both assuming I suppose. What makes you a hypocrite is going “you are assuming wrong because my assumption is clearly right”.

    What isn’t an assumption is that the dress is a symbol of oppression stemming from a culture of oppression. Are you going to ignore this point again?

    Sure they might wear it because they are used to it and might even feel unsafe not wearing it, but all those habits were still forced into them by an oppressive system.

    In the end it’s still a patriarchal system built to oppress women, the dress is a tool for oppression even if some wear it freely.

    That’s the key point, I’ll put in italics so you stop reading over it: oppressive system, oppressive system, oppressive system, oppressive system, oppressive system.

  • And your assuming there’s absolutely no cultural or family pressure. What I’m assuming is much more likely, so stop assuming this person is some freedom loving feminist that wears the burka because she wants to.

    I know we all look like women hating bigots from your high horse but you might actually be the one wrong her. In any case, it’s still a symbol of oppression that stems from a patriarchal system of oppression.

    It’s like seeing someone wearing an Amazon T-shirt and assuming he’s an anarchist. Sure, everything is possible but it isn’t the likeliest assumption.


  • The burqua is kind of a symbol of oppression. Even if they are just wearing out of habit and no one is forcing them to, the whole dress stems from a system of oppression.

    I don’t think I have a right to tell them to not wear it, just as much as their family/culture doesn’t have a right to force them to wear it, but let’s not pretend it’s just any other garment, it comes with a lot of baggage.



  • So her pupils are smushed together, there’s a weird color near her collar necklace along her arm in the second panel, like if it was going to be skin but was changed to be part of the sleeve last minute. The Bird has a silver piece between it’s eye but it kind of turns into a badly drawn eye in the second panel, comes back on the third but it’s off and then turns into a misplaced thicker red strip on the forth.

    These are the exact types of errors that an AI would make or used to at least. Cross eyed look and parts that seem to sit in between two things like if it wasn’t certain if it should do one or the other.

    I get he makes everything himself, but coupled with the style, it did really look generated the first time I saw it.
