    I don’t know the cartoon you’re talking about, but you have misunderstood literally everything else in this thread, so you don’t really get the benefit of the doubt here

    “But critics point to incidents such as the May 2018 cover that singled out a 19-year-old student union leader who wore a headscarf during an interview on national television that had nothing to do with Islam. Charlie Hebdo put the young woman on the cover, wearing her headscarf, with a distorted, monkey-like face.“
    But it’s All satire right?

    Satire only works when there's a point to prove
    Besides that its just idiots thinking what they think is important is worth satirizing

    I can’t agree with your satire being ‘AGAINST BIGOTS’ when it’s punching down on minorities

    i do not get why some of y’all are trying to explain why these cartoons were made? who cares! they’re offensive and racist.

    imagine if cnn dropped a comic strip with calling black people the n-word and you had southern america be like “but but.. they did it because..” yeah no need to explain.

    In France there is a huge gap between the rich and poor fam

    Let me clarify “pretty well” but objectively, as in proven by the economic stats, france is more economically equal than the uk

    UK has some of the lowest upward mobility of any western country, usually only better than the states

    And everyone was posting they were Charlie just a few years ago

    If you didn't post "you were Charlie" they'd be on your ass and consider you a terrorist empathizer

    I remember that time very well

    They forced it on people through the media and vilified those who had a different opinion on it (not even supporting terrorists but just not want to say je suis Charlie")

    We talk alot about "sjws" "canceling" people and forcing their opinion down people's throats but "the other side" has been doing that for decades as well through media outlets

    This thread blew up my god I just hope everyone was cordial to each other innit
    Except to Charlie Hebdo they can go f*** themselves fr fr

  • New NIGHTMAN

    Everytime Charlie Hebdo is brought up it turns into a either or situation

    Obviously the terrorism/murder wasnt justified, but we can still acknowledge that Charlie Hebdo is a terrible racist xenophobic company without being labeled terrorist sympathisers

    Nightman AHHHHH

    FlipFlop was arguing about their actual influence. There are genuinely insidious figures and organizations such as Le Pen or Blanquer, but people keep focusing on a satirical newspaper, that while they're unequivocally garbage, for the most part have no bearing on the actual reason or landscape of the racism and xenophobia in France.

    They solely act to garner attention, while everyone ignores the actual problems at hand.
