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& #39;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& #39;t bad off enough to be allowed to shoplift and i think thats on all of your heads

i& #39;ve seen people say "it& #39;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& #39;t leave trans fems out of your class analysis and pretend we don& #39;t face marginalisation and economic oppression that would drive us to break the law at great risk to our lives you& #39;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">https://twitter.com/LumenInFu...
