i kind of don’t like how this edit is conflating queer identity with political affiliation. The original strip depicts two transphobes, one side queer (the “LGB” alliance, ugh) and the other one a reactionary maga type. Yes it’s true that liberals/reactionaries will betray leftists, but that’s not exactly the same thing as persecution of queer people and it does make me uncomfortable to see this conflation.
yeah that’s why I don’t feel good about it, because it’s taking a comic about queer persecution, removing the queer elements, and then replacing the same argument except with political identity. That’s not something I’m comfortable with

I mean yes the original was that, but this is a remix. It doesn’t conflate these.
This edit has nothing queer about it.

as a queer person, I believe you’re thinking about this way too much.
Recycling memes is pretty damn common. There are even meme-o-matic sites to generat’em for you.
