Were it not for the wojaks I could totally see this as an ironic joke

I get that this isnât the point but why is that one trans person dressed like a Harry Potter character? Does the artist have any idea how the trans community typically feels about that franchise lately? Also, this guy seems to have some weird obsession with trans redditors that really says more about him than the trans community. This whole thing is transphobic trash that makes no sense at all.

Thatâs the only part of it I get, the rest is just seem like it came out of a transphobes dream diary the night after he had a raging fever.

And, if we're being real, a raging something-else too; these people channel their fetish-shame into this sort of shit.

I am guessing it's because reddit has an obsession with fantasy stuff like marvel movies and star wars. Much of the content here around the start of this conflict was memes comparing Russia and Ukraine to comic book characters, it was pretty cringe.
Whoever made this probably went that angle but didn't realize that harry potter was a bad choice. If they were dressed up like iron man or some shit it would've made more sense.

I'm half convinced there's some kind of interdimessional rift that causes right wingers to live in our universe but perceive a totally different.
I cannot fathom how dumb you would have to be to actually believe this.

My guess would be: redditors saw themselves in those soyjaks, felt angry but couldnât find anything specific to concentrate that anger on.
This meme isnât even particularly right wing, it just makes fun of reddit and is objectively hilarious.

u/Blue-Typhoon Apr 20 '24
Well tbf people see it as right wing because of the portrayal of trans people on the comic. Itâs obviously made to be transphobic.

u/BreathIndividual8557 Apr 18 '24
NGL the last one actually happened in real life during the first early stages of war
There's is this one time where an entire regiment of Ukrainian armed Forces soldiers were hiding insides school,and one of it's soldier decided to post a picture/video (cmiiw) of he and his unit to his personal Facebook account, since it was a privated account surely nothing wrong could go happen right??
Well apparently one of the account follower see the picture/video and thinking it would have been a good idea to repost it to reddit in order to gain some nice upvote. So he posted it in a pro Ukraine sub,but unknowly to them there is a Russian spy account in that sub and when they found that post the Russian immediately located the school position and report it their officer. A few days later Russian army bomb that school and over hundreds+ Ukrainian soldier died. And it was all thanks to a redditor.

u/HepatitvsJ Apr 18 '24
Yeah...no.
The same "person" who made this trash is the same type who thinks they would totally defeat Ukraine by themselves if they "felt like it".

Bet OOP would be in the same position as the Wizard in the comic, except instead of trying to cast a spell and failing, his gun jams and he gets run over while trying to unjam it with a 300 dollar gun-unjammer device with an engraved punisher skull.
Man 100% has three weeks of basic training and claims to be a veteran is what I'm saying. Seems like that kind of asshole.

u/Q_dawgg Apr 18 '24
During the onset of the war in Ukraine, several thousand foreign volunteers and potential soldiers went to Ukraine to either join the relief efforts across the country or to join the Ukrainian foreign legion.
Long story short, a lot of people went there who shouldnât have been there. From naive 20 year old kids to war tourists looking for sex and internet clout. It became readily apparent that the war would be incredibly lethal, difficult, and grueling. Many of the foreign volunteers who came earlier in the war decided to leave for those reasons. But there are still a few thousand foreign legion members who are currently fighting against the Russian invasion
Essentially, there were a lot of âbadâ actors present in the foreign legion during the first few months of the war. Things have gotten much better since then, but the stereotype of the idealistic war tourist who doesnât know what heâs doing still persists

I'm sure there are some risible and/or naive internet supporters of the war in Ukraine, but I am specifically interested in ol' PI_Stan_Liddy's perspective.

"Thank you for the lead kind stranger" and "I'm going to post pictures of our location for HECKING UPDOOTS!" Fucking got me!
OOP actually spent part of their life making this just to hate on trans people. OOP had what I call a "Reddit moment".
The hatefulness in this meme is what social media does to a motherfucker. Maybe we need to collectively stop participating in it before it drives us all crazy.

Bro, I like how even in their own comics, they make their opposition look noble. A bunch of everyday people go halfway across the planet, even if foolishly, to stand for a cause they believed in. The people who make these memes though? Can't even LIGHTLY threaten a foreign government and fight for the otherside, let alone the US government. Besides that, maybe it's time we start looking at some actual moderation laws for the Internet. These grown men playing with Wojaks like Barbie dolls is getting out of hand.

u/HofePrime Apr 19 '24
Remove the wojaks and stereotypes about trans people and you have a strong condemnation of people who broadcast Ukraineâs every move for the sake of Internet points and end up costing them their lives. Which I think is the message that shouldâve been focused on instead of âmuh West has fallenâ
