Who would've thought that my first post on this app in months is bc well meaning liberals didn't understand that my besties drawing was of Japanese pop culture icon and Nazi punching anti-fascist hero Kamen Rider

And not an OC spewing some "no step on snek" Libertarian bullshit

@rai-the-builder.bsky.social

It happens sometimes!

It's a pretty niche character to American audiences, hence why I'm trying to add context for folks

Gotta defend the bestie in his Bluesky debut haha, thanks for being a good sport

I think in the context of the drawing it works

Freedom for Trans folks to live comes before the sense of "Justice" and "Peace" (security) transphobes use to justify the erasure of their existence.

Plus Kamen Rider is a Nazi fighter so idk comrade...he's got the spirit there at least

Which on that point

Y'all...it's a drawing that is expressly supportive of the trans community. It's not hard to imagine that like

The parallel here is the freedom of Trans folks to just live SUPERCEDES the "Peace and Justice" (fragile pearl clutching bigotry) of transphobes

Being an expressly anti-fascist Nazi punching superhero from post WWII Japan

It should be no surprise that folks growing up under the Japanese Imperial regime had a very different understanding of "peace and justice" to justify a genocidal authoritarian surveillance state

Context matters

Okay before y'all hop in the comments:

This tagline was written for an expressly anti-fascist character. Y'all are not wrong about the three things being important and working in tandem

But the progressive concept of Peace and Justice we use today is not the same as what this character is saying

Also just like, it's a stretch to jump immediately to murder and rape when the piece is very obviously about like

Hey maybe don't dehumanize trans people in the name of "security and safety" aka maintaining the comfort of anti-trans bigots

(Call-in, not a call out. Let's critique in good faith)

I don't know much about Kamen Rider but I know the guy fights literal Nazis - so I think that kinda speaks for itself and is enough to know that like

"Justice and Peace" mean nothing if the means to both is an autocratic surveillance state. Dog whistles fascists regularly use to mean repression

a man is standing in front of a plane with a quote that says `` i do not fear the dark side as you do '' . ALT: a man is standing in front of a plane with a quote that says `` i do not fear the dark side as you do '' .

Surveillance state and authoritarian "Justice" in the name of "Peace" is bad is the point. The Darth Vader kind of "Peace, Freedom, Justice"

I don't know much about Kamen Rider but I know the guy fights literal Nazis - so I think that kinda speaks for itself

I can't turn the content moderation filters off without my discover feed getting flooded with gay p*rn (some of y'all are much braver than I with public likes)

So

I caved and just made an alt so I can use THIS account in public - DM me if you want it

Biden: my son is being unfairly targeted for slanging hella meat and getting zonked out of his mind, the right of red-blooded american and i will not stand for it

i think Drake’s only option at this point is try to appeal to Liz Cheney

This movie was so fucking good and I don’t care what anyone says

The face, the scent

Death before assimilation

I think having REAL compassion is a fundamentally radical act in a world where even the so-called "compassionate" party has found a way to monetize it into little more than virtue signaling or weaponize it to silence dissent that the donor class doesn't like

I love that you've ended up in an MCR starter pack according to these comments

I assume you got your LLTBP tickets 👀
