For context:

This is a MoG post about a hexbear comment from 7 months ago complaining about the evocation of Charlie Hebdo against the french

Show

A top comment asks "why so mad against french?", and the OP (the main mod and poster of MoG) suggests it's because we "hate france's freedom of speech and their 'anti-islam stance'". Declines to share a link or context to the comment

Show

Out of curiosity I went looking for the context to that comment, and discovered that it was in reaction to a wildly Islamophobic cartoon making a joke about Gazan's starving during the month of ramadan [linky] [CW: Racism, Islamophobia, genocide]:

Show

The mod then goes to great length to avoid commenting on the racist context of the post, as well as any definitive statement acknowledging the Palestinian Genocide or the culpability of Israel and the IOF. Tries to whatabout China, Russia, and Iran

Turns out libs actually do practice critical support, but instead of critically supporting AES projects they support any state crusading against muslims.

    I remember being rather lib about it. being against what happened to charlie hebdo. just like left leaning shitpost comic magazine I was reading. They related to charlie hebdo, not being liked by muslim conservatives like charlie hebdo and drawing comics just like them, and tried to defend charlie hebdo of how they are not racists and islamaphobic. They later found out they were indeed racist and islamaphobic, they comdemnded such thoughts. It is so disgusting. they proved they deserved what was coming for them

      Yea it's like if somebody threw a pipe bomd into one of those Draw Muhamed picture contests they have in Texas.

      Incredibly good and based.

      "Oh they attacked me just because I did everything I possibly could to piss them off for absolutely no reason apart from the fact I hate them"

      Turnabouts fair play
