    If the lady witch had huge anime milkers hanging out of her shirt and fat thighs with a tiny skirt I’d be inclined to agree but this is such a nonoffensive drawing I genuinely can’t see anything wrong with it. I personally know women who make art and depict their women characters way worse than this.

    Genuinely the real problem is people having an issue with things that shouldn’t be sexual at all. Everybody has breasts, some just have larger ones than others, and to act like that’s not real is like some weird titty erasure. Just because you personally find breasts overtly sexual doesn’t mean someone else does.

    People express themselves in many different ways and for some people they enjoy feeling comfortable in their own body. Having representation not just for different body types but also different portrayals of those body types is important, as long as it’s realistic. You wouldn’t start a stink over a woman choosing to wear a revealing top or form fitting dress, neither would you mind a man dressing in drag with huge fake breasts.

    The problem with oversexualization in general is when it’s unrealistic and stereotypical. I promise if you go to any Halloween party with attendees in the 18-30 range you’ll see actual women dressed like little witches like that right now.

    Comparing someone not finding anything wrong with little boobies on a cartoon hag to people that think black people are inferior is probably the most insane take I’ve ever seen on this website.









  • It’s crazy dude. I’ve been thinking about this a lot and I just can’t find justification for it. I kind of understand where the Hexbear people are coming from sometimes but then they’ll have insane takes like this. They always claim to be pro minority anti government whatever but how can you justify mass murder and rape of civilians? I understand the history between Palestine and Israel and I acknowledge Israel’s government has committed dozens of atrocities but there’s such a massive difference between a corrupt government/military and the people living under it. People cite the festival’s proximity to an internment camp like the people attending the festival even necessarily knew about it, or as if they were at all responsible for choosing the location.

    Even the first comment in the screenshot is trying to minimize it by just calling it a “shooting” when there’s purportedly videos of Hamas kidnapping and raping people. It just seems so arbitrary which side they’re in favor of, and once they’ve decided they blatantly ignore any actions of extremists and brush it off as “they had it coming” for things a government has been doing long since before they were even born.

    I guess it’s easier to cheer such an atrocity when you’re separated by an ocean and don’t even see them as people, just some kind of villainous people who all hate Palestine. I’m sure the tankies would change their tune really quick if a group from Palestine, Russia, or China rolled up in their neighborhood to commit atrocities in the name of war and reparations.

    Then they have the audacity to look at a similar situation via Ukraine/Russia and somehow always come to the conclusion that Ukraine are the baddies even though they’ve been having their land stolen for years and Russia quite literally attacked them first. The parallels between Russia/Ukraine and Palestine/Israel are so similar that it’s mindboggling the tankies support one and not the other.

    I genuinely wish I could understand where they’re coming from but their discussions are always filled with so much hate and attempted humor that they just end up parroting their little memes and quips when talking about actual wars and genocide.
