They’ve expressed that it’s permanent and it was totally coming anyway and all the staff were discussing it (this surprised most of them), and the Atlantic article had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Apparently, only new images of her are taken down regardless of context and regardless of whether it’s satire or not. Which is funny since Looney Tunes had cartoons of mocking the dictator rather than promoting it. Isn’t that also her purpose? There’s still 2990+ images of her but again it apparently applies to newer ones so she’s basically banned and outcasted.

Yeesh you’re still coming on with this. Wasn’t very clever the first time you tried it!
Also going by your logic, this is Rainbow Dash since she’s taged as such from the get go!
And please use direct links (like this >>2385465) in case someone is filtering the image.

Oh, I see what you did there. Using irrelevant whataboutisms as apologia for “it’s okay to post Nazis.” Yeah, sure, that’s cool.
/S
@FrecklesFanatic
Again, you’re just being deliberately obtuse. NO ONE would argue that a picture of Rainbow Dash is an “unnamed OC” just because it failed to be tagged “Rainbow Dash.”
@DragonRanger
“Do you even realize how racist you sound?”
“Visually distinct, easily recognized individual” = “race” now. Got it.
“What would you say if you encountered someone on the street who just happened to look like Adolf Hitler?”
Because I guess humans in the flesh get to choose the genes that govern their appearance, right?
On the other hand, artists creating a fictional image get to decide exactly how the character they’re drawing, inking, and coloring will look. A series of obviously deliberate aesthetic and design choices to create a specific picture of a specific character is hardly a roll of the dice.

Do you even realize how racist you sound? She looks like Aryanne, therefore she must be Aryanne, therefore she must be a Nazi. What would you say if you encountered someone on the street who just happened to look like Adolf Hitler? Would you immediately assume he’s the fuhrer just because he looks like him?

Right, and seeing all those BLM posts really makes me want to go out and pull down the nearest monument and loot and riot along with the rest of them.
Oh wait, no it doesn’t. I honestly couldn’t give less of a fuck, but everywhere I turn it’s “BLACK LIVES MATTER!” and “Police are evil and racist!” that, and I’m just sick of the whole thing. For the record, I have a family member in law enforcement, so I don’t want to hear any of that shit about this not having anything to do with me.
