Now, I'm not entirely convinced that there's transphobia going on, seeing as the comment posted is entirely without context of the garbage graffiti stuck figure in the image. Could be someone shitstirring, or genuine, or someone being overly sensitive. I don't know enough yet about the person posting. Given the number of other channels that nothing remotely like that has been said, the number of times AIF has quietly or overtly helped the community, and people I know are LGBTQ+ who are post of AIF, I don't think this kind of accusation holds a lot of water, also considering that the person went with a cropped screenshot to the Reddit to bring attention to it without mentioning it on the discord first. I would encourage everyone to take a second to read their comments over before posting. I'm encouraging @Skullmaggot and @WojtektheBear to take a look and chime in, just because this seems like there's no malice and wasn't intended as a shot at the LGBTQ+ community to me, but I want other opinions.(edited)

That was an opportunistic post but I don’t think people can tell you were sarcastic

@Dr_Diskette I don't think I have permissions. Maybe in the general discord channel? I could also post in the Reddit, but I almost don't want to draw more attention that it deserves. Maybe I should DM the person?

@WojtektheBear@Dr_Diskette I sent a reddit DM. I'll let you know what happens. Their user history seems to indicate that they are a member of the LGBTQ+ community so I imagine that they're concern is genuine, even if their actions are a bit confusing.
From a day later perspective, I am so proud of everyone here. Keep up the good work, and note the agents provocateurs are an indication we are effective. We just need to figure out how to honeypot them.
Generally, you'll want to avoid splitting text like that as it reads weird. Color often isn't enough to differentiate, and you need more visual separation between in style as well for that to work.

found a good spot to paint some barriers on the way up to my ski area. last time someone did that they got on the news so i want something short but sweet to put on there
Although I do wholeheartedly support graffiti like "fuck wlm" or "fuck pf" etc, I think it's more effective to put up either ideological symbols or statements / pro-antifascism, rather than anti-fascism, if you get what I mean. "Fuck WLM" is good, but for instance I'd put up something like "Jesus is an anarchist, not a cop", since I'm working in an area with a lot of religion, etc.

One is a theocratical fascist group and the other uses theocracy as apart of their fascism. They both see themselves as the one and only. ISIS commits genocide on Muslims that aren’t the right Muslim and many white supremacists hold some Christian sects above others. Neo-nazi group “The Base” is a white supremacist group whose name translates to al Qaeda. Completely purposeful and they have been known to cheer support al Qaeda and religious extremism elsewhere.

Of course, not to forget their mutual subjugations of queer folk
You're right; I guess it's just that mental disconnect I've had where "current issue" back in like 2015 or whatever was ISIS and the Nice truck attack/Charlie Hebdo stuff etc, so when I was looking at stickers it kinda made me go like woah, yeah I guess it makes sense we're against ISIS, but did not expect to see their flag
My wife gets mad at me because I'm "pro political-ouchies" but I have been in a cell and I've been in a fight and I know what flower grows from "barrels"

It's not a preference, imo, it's an unfortunate present reality for us to all reckon w on our own and find our place situated with one another. I'd prefer to walk into congress and say "hey no one can be starving, homeless, or targeted by police" and have them all clap and cheer and vote right away to make this all better.

To be clear tho and also grateful, we are not presently engaged in that sort of struggle and I pray we never do
9:53 PM
It's a contest and all I want is for us to have the biggest team w the most compassion for our enemy we can muster, because history shows us conflicts like that ruin generations

LMAO I got too stoned and posted political philosophy BS, someone take the microphone I'm not capable of being anything but insufferable.
I'd rather not have to be an anti-fascist. I'd rather the fascists just stop. I'd rather not be thinking extreme thoughts. Nazis cause pain and suffering, and do nothing else. They do not deserve to feel grass or sunshine. They deserve a cold, dark, claustrophobic wooden box. And there their hatred shall stay.
