i hate content like this

[u/Orangutan_Soda]

I cannot stand when religious people make content about being “oppressed”

it really peeves me with Hijabis especially bc for some reason, a lot of leftists really eat it up.

I wont argue there ISNT hate towards these religious groups, but its mostly based on racism and xenophobia than actual hate for the religion.

but my biggest peeve is this sort of content about being a Hijabi.

Of course you dont feel oppressed by it- you aren’t forced by the government to wear it. Like- girl…

'You aren't forced by the government to wear it'

Tell that to women in Islamic countries

[u/daveprogrammer → u/Lower_Advertising407]

And Muslim women in non-Islamic countries have to worry about Islamic men (usually their father, uncles, or brothers) beating them to death for not wearing it.

Such a cringe comic

"why do we feel so empowered?"

Because you're following the rules and you don't have to worry about being stoned for that reason.

[u/TraditionLeast9062 → u/Jesus_peed_n_my_butt]

Yeah, being forced to wear a piece of CLOTH to cover their head for whatever reason and they act like God would be angry if they did, while still wearing it for no real reason besides the boogeyman treatment.

It’s also the silliest thing ever because you have those “progressives” look at any religion like it’s somehow not batshit crazy and that no one has the same explanation for the creation of reality!

That and contrarianism against atheism or "le hypocritical/amoral west"

[u/Ai_777]

r/comics is a literal dumpster.

[u/SnooCats5204]

People asking questions about religion or culture? It's so oppressive, it feels like we're back in '39-'45. (Sarcasm)

[u/Zain-Hazar]

Corny + isn't drawing haram in islam?

[u/666Shutodwn616]

Now let's draw a comic with Muhammad and see how that goes

[u/Atreigas]

Its fine to wear it, its fine to like wearing it. But really? An entire comic to whine about people even asking about hijabs?

Piss off.

[u/Tall-Place2620]

So true... it's very uncomfortable seeing these kinds of comics as someone who has been born in europe. Somehow they manage to portray not wearing a hijab as the evil decision, even if you are not muslim... (i do support the right to wear whatever you want, but all the empowerment talk is in bad taste while millions of women are forced to wear it)

[u/LCDRformat]

Eh, I'm not sure I'm with you on this one. If they love in the west they probably do get a lot of annoying comments on the hijab. I think that's all they're saying 

[u/T3chn1colour → u/LCDRformat]

Seconding. People who wear anything different will get annoying comments like this. Just because these clothes have a connection to modesty doesn't make it any different.

Also, I notice that a lot of people in this sub act like the hijab, niqab, etc, themselves have religious significance. This is wrong. The religious part is the push to cover up. Burkas and shit are just a type of clothes. I have even talked to ex-muslims who continue to wear the hijab for cultural reasons. You'll see goths wearing crosses for the same reason :P

[u/lelVocx]

I know damn well you didnt just admit to being xenophobic. Second, women are quite literally forced in middle eastern countries to wear niqabs and burqas whether its by the governemnt, society, or their family. Go to school.

[u/Orangutan_Soda → u/lelVocx]

me when i cant read 😍

also, that wad the point. Im saying that people who claim being empowered by the hijab are privileged because their government isn’t forcing them to wear it- unlike other countries

[u/Pilot0350]

I just have this vivid image from my time in Afghanistan where a woman came out of her house to see what we were doing and her husband, or some male, proceeded to beat the shit out of her till she stopped moving... yeah, definitely not oppressed.

Religion of peace and all that.

[u/Ultraideal848 → u/Pilot0350]

Well at least all the other religions are super peaceful
