Women will selfship and be head over heels for a 45 year old fictional man from a video game who is balding and looks like he hasn’t showered in 5 weeks. Men refuse to even play a game if a fictional woman doesn’t fit their hyperspecific beauty standard.
@saharasajjadii@ghost_twts There’s actual criticism of Satrapi by the French left. She apparently was part of a centrist Islamophobic group called republican spring, she was a macronist, and a bit of Zionist. But that doesn’t undo the actual oppression she faced in Iran and she made actual points about it
@Ebrietas_C@saharasajjadii Probably because she thought meeting with Hilary would help expand her platform. Meeting with one bad international figure doesn’t undo the good she’s done. She literally nearly lost her life promoting girls education
The problem with Marjane Satrapi is that she became a reactionnary liberal who praised macron, not that she made a comics relating her lived experiences of the iranian theocracy including the execution of her communist uncle
@bread157@9mmballpoint It’s honestly a fair criticism
, but people here were making her out to be a neo monarchist and that she was making stuff up about the theocracy
notice how leftists hate both malala yousafzai and marjane satrapi. it's almost like they hate brown women who stand up for women's rights because their loyalty lies with reactionary men as long as they're seen as anti-west
@alexanderivep@ASPertierra If you actually read Persepolis , it goes into details about how the Pahlavi monarchy was oppressive and they were western puppets who were installed by the British , and her family were leftists and opponents of the monarchy
@idkijustthibk this vititrol against Satrapi
Has gotten me thinking who people should actually be accusing of manufacturing consent for the current war against Iran is Reza Pahlavi.
@Parker_Air@KariNaganCB@argiropolitano I’ve actually read Persepolis and she also criticized the shah and included a bit of history about how the pahlavis were western puppets installed with the help of the British empire
@juegosnoguey@polypocketknife It’s gotten more ethical over the years. A lot of lolcow followers regret the bullying Chris Chan endured and realize it was still wrong even though Chris Chan kept egging on the trolls. I think Daniel Larson lolcow fandom is the worst one in recent years .
