minus-square@pixxelkicklink-1•21 hours ago feminist symbol Racist, it’s a racist symbol Communities don’t get to do something racist, slap a racist icon on it and call it feminist and that makes it suddenly feminist. If we are cool with articles allowing movements to just get appropriated willy nilly without calling it out, then the racists win. If a forum of (racist) Christians post a bunch of racist pictures of black people, you don’t call that “Christian imagery” Not everything posted by people calling themselves Christians is Christian imagery Not everything posted by people calling themselves feminists is feminist imagery So on and so forth.
