what’s happening now in france is absolutely disgusting and is a manifestation of how democracy and artistic expression are systematically used to appropriate violence against marginalized groups of people.

my full support goes out to my muslim friends and community. we are here to resist, boycott and protest with you, as well as support you to the very best of our abilities.

with that being said, please be mindful of the extremely inappropriate and offensive memes you share about copts and coptic faith and how these memes appropriate the kind of violent behaviour and attitude we are generally subjected to.

these satirical comments and offensive slurs contribute to normalizing hatred and the marginalization of copts in egypt.

this thread is in no way, shape or form an attempt to shift the focus away from the issue at hand. this is just a reminder for us to collectively dismantle these oppressive tools that are used to disenfranchise minorities, in whichever way they manifest.
