    The eating bugs thing is stupid 4chan/putin propaganda to demonize the WEF who don’t really need to be demonized because they’re wealthy people… But they are nominally progressives who Putin/Trump hate, it’s also used to demonize activists like Greta Thunberg (who is often depicted saying the line in memes), because she’s an environmental activist and ibugs are seen as more environmentally sustainable than beef.

    In actual fact there was just discussed and was never going to be forced on you. But the conservative propaganda now limits even talk of such exotic ideas.

    It’s stupid speech limiting propaganda because everyone reading this has been eating bugs their whole life without knowing it. If you’ve ever had a glossy food anything, but most definitely candy, you’ve eaten bugs - because shellac is one of the main ways candy gets its shine, and is almost always made from crushed lac beatle shells.

    So yes, you’re eating bugs like someone from the islands above Australia or below China.

    I never mentioned her race. I actually have a heavy redlight filter on my phone and thought it was a depiction of a Mexican woman. I said something about her height, not her race

    But I agree she is depicted as super humanly short, or rather the cop is being depicted as super humanly tall - as an untouchable ubermensch.

    I didn’t say anything about a stereotype being applied, except to the fascist imagery (that they’re ubermensch/strong).

    I’m starting to think people aren’t able to read what I’m saying. No wonder you guys are peacefully accepting the new regime as if it’s all powerful. You all seem defeated and trapped in your ideological mindsets.

    Good luck.

    I said unconscious… I even stated “accidentally” and said it was visual.

    But yes sometimes visual shorthand accidentally enforces an unintended message. Just like black people can be racist, or Jewish people Antisemitic - antifascist art can sometimes accidentally say that fascism is strength, indomitable, or all powerful.

    Two cops, beer guts, and laughing together, might be a more accurate description of American fascism.

    Nah, little/big tits are character traits that span multiple races so they’re probably going to be fetishized more broadly just by virtue of that.

    So here we might need another dimension. I’d call it depth or thoroughness. The idea of submissive asian women might be more thorough in its fetishized details, but probably isn’t as broadly as things like tit size.

    Where’s the line, like initial attraction is kind of - by definition always limited in it’s understanding of “the other”… Whether that’s a woman finding a fatherly figure attractive, or a gay guy finding a bear attractive, or someone finding an Irish accent hot…

    They’re all empty slates we project onto, it’s only later that we learn about the human beyond those characteristics. Then we find out they’re kind of a horrible person, and that’s the end of that.
