i will reignite the shoplifting discourse to point out an underdiscussed aspect of it which is that the person who made that comic is a trans fem who got an unreal amount of harassment for something many non-trans fems have made harsher takes on and got little to no biteback for

look i'm just saying i remember when /r/shoplifting got taken down and everyone was universally sad about it but you saw this trans fem and decided without thinking that she wasn't bad off enough to be allowed to shoplift and i think thats on all of your heads

i've seen people say "it's disgusting that you think you should be able to shoplift when you have an expensive drawing tablet" and yknow that kind of reeks of an argument i recall along the lines of "but you own an iphone" that people have suddenly forgotten about

noooo don't leave trans fems out of your class analysis and pretend we don't face marginalisation and economic oppression that would drive us to break the law at great risk to our lives you're so sexy aha

exactly this. people have been waiting for an excuse to get at her for months now and they jumped on the first thing they could stoke a moral outrage over because they knew it would work https://twitter.com/LumenInFusco/status/1248680275334160385
