Her being a ‘queer pop icon’ has made her a target from the usual bigots. She also called out the Harris Walz campaign for creating swag resembling her work, and has not endorsed a candidate. There really isn’t a ‘war’ against her and memes be memes
I support her right to not be obligated to endorse a political candidate. She cites the importance of trans rights (which I support too). However, between the two candidates I think it is unambiguously clear which one will support trans rights more, and its no one in the GOP.
The hat thing its a bit silly to me though.
Roan’s hat:
Harris Walz hat
Wow those DO look similar…except so do all of these:
Yes, but to be fair. The campaign most likely got the design from her, and is selling it deliberately to resemble her merch (and hopefully reach her audience)
If Roan copies a common design that was used by a bunch of other folks long before her (which it looks like she did), she can’t reasonably be upset that someone copies her copied design.
I agree, but what I mean is that it’s not about the design but about the fact they are trying to reach her audience with this merch, without her cooperation
Then she should have chosen a unique design…which she DID for her other hats that have nothing like them in Harris/Walz store.
One could argue Roan was trying to reach the audience of people that like Mossy Oak camo hats, to reach that audience. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.
If she made a unique design and Harris/Walz copied it, she’d have a legitimate complaint. However that’s not what occurred. She used someone else’s design, and is apparently upset someone else did too. She used derivative work and is not happy someone else used the same original for their own derivative work.
The only overlap is the camo hat, and Harris/Walz has 3 different styles. There’s no copies of the tan or Pony hat from Roan’s store. If Harris/Walz were trying to scoop up Roan supporters, why haven’t they copied those too?
Roan’s has curved font, Harris’ doesn’t. She can hardly claim to have invented the camo/orange combo and I’m willing to bet they were more aiming for the country demographic than Roan’s.
Who’s chapelle roan?
A fairly successful pop singer. I have no idea what war is on her though.

Damn you’ve brought receipts. You’ve convinced me lol. Sorry I doubted
