Nope, I joke about all nations, especially my own (and the one next door). And yes, I know a lot of people from ‘Murica (mostly Colorado and Texas, of all places), as well as people from:
-England
-Scotland
-Ireland
-Germany
-Spain
-France Belgium -Flanders/Wallonia
-Italy
-Serbia
-Poland
-Sweden
-Norway
-Finland
-Bulgaria
-Hungary
-Denmark
-Czech Republic
-Switzerland
-Austria
So I’m reasonably well-informed about the goings-on on the ground level of those places.
@Ebalosus
That’s a lot to assume about them. Do you know them personally, or are you just one of those jackasses that gets butthurt when someone makes a generalization about a European nation and then happily goes on to make generalizations about other countries?
No, there’s nothing wrong with the picture (which is great BTW), as it has only inspired arguments about the european outlook, and I’m sure that people here have only issues with each other, and not with the art in question, nor the artist.
@InkSplash
Consider this in the context of the entire debacle starting with pictures that offended. I don’t know what your conclusion may be but I think you should make it yourself.
Hello, I am the artist of this picture and I made it because Valkyria has a Tumblr and people were expecting her to comment on the situation. I tried to show my respect through this picture, because I’m not really talented in drawing humans (and there’s nothing wrong with showing respect through animals).
My point in this picture was to stand together against extremists from both sides. Christians, jews, muslims, atheists, we all need to unite and show each other that we don’t tolerate this behavior.
But hey, if it’s unwanted, I’ll make sure it’s deleted from here.
The numbers are correct, but the definitions vary. For example, if “rape” is only defined as a sexual assault on a woman by a man, then you get one number, but if “rape” is defined as forced penetration of a sexual nature, then obviously your numbers are going to go up.

If they’d actually admitted muslim immigration to be a problem, someone might propose to stop it. Instead they spin it to be an “extremist problem”, but still don’t even try to sift out the extremists at the border.
@Darth Sonic
After the Charlie Hebdo murders, a bunch of politicians had a photo-op and a rally was organised, pushing the message that europeans and muslims stood together in unity against terrorism. Because obviously, what Europe needs is more muslim immigrants.
Meanwhile, Sweden is now number two of countries with the highest rate of rape, surpassed only by Lesotho in Southern Africa.
I’m serious, I want to know. I feel like I’m missing some context here.
@Ebalosus
While America certainly has it’s lions share of problems, literal Nazis and Communists getting political seats is not one of them. I’d take Teabaggers over all the European Nationalist Parties any day.
@AlsoSprachOdin
And on the other political extreme was Breivik, who also gunned down people he didn’t like for reasons no sane person would agree with.
Its almost as if those extreme political positions do bad things to peoples judgement…
Apologies. Since you were wrong on both counts, I couldn’t help but question your motives.

… I have a reputation? Sweet!
I’ll take this one for you Darth.

Ah, totally forgot to reply, but I did see your reply a while ago, and I’m glad people don’t think ill or less of me a least xD

And the stats I quote doesn’t take that into account? No other countries count occurrences of rape in the same manner? I don’t see sources addressing these questions. Can you provide some? In return, I give you a link to another article with official sources, regarding 77% of rapes committed by muslim immigrants, let alone other immigrants.
https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2012/08/20/the-living-hell-for-swedish-women-5-muslims-commit-nearly-77-6-of-all-rape-crimes/
While we’re at it, shall we consider the cases of Rotherham and Halifax too?
The swedish rape rate is due to the way the swedish legal system handles rape differently from many other countries.
This article explains why:

Learn to how read statistics ya dunce.
Or rather, “way of cheapening the labor (by increasing the available supply”. It’s only the richest that stand to gain.
Do you really think Europe is going to cut off such an easy supply of cheap labor?
If they’d actually admitted muslim immigration to be a problem, someone might propose to stop it. Instead they spin it to be an “extremist problem”, but still don’t even try to sift out the extremists at the border.
At what point were they promoting immigration?
But yeah, Swedens fucked.

The Hell you talking about?

And a curious lack of jihadists murdering people for drawings. Funny how that works.
You forgot their obscenely high incarceration rate.
“what the hell is wrong with Europe”

>Worships their military like fascists do
>Still believe that circumcision is a sound medical idea
You know what they say about people who live in glass houses…
I wasn’t talking about political extremes. I was responding to a flippant dismissal of reality.
And on the other political extreme was Breivik, who also gunned down people he didn’t like for reasons no sane person would agree with.
