This looks a lot like antisemitic wojack to me

It's just some smug wojak. It's one of the plethora of "thin beard + glasses" variants, and this one is based on Tighten.

You're right, looks like it's fine. The nose really seemed like an antisemitic caricature though

Some people just have big noses, that doesn't make it antisemitic

yetAnotherUser ,

Indeed, the reason behind my suspicion (I cannot speak for OP who made the accusation) was that caricatures with unusually large noses representing Israel are often an antisemitic portrayal, regardless of whether the criticism holds true or not.

Criticism of Israel isn't antisemitism, except for when an antisemitic Jewish caricature is used.

that character is voiced by Jonah Hill, who is Jewish. I'm not blaming you personally, but the image is extremely sus.

Thanks for mentioning it. I also saw the meme and was a bit hmm, and I'm glad to see OP clarify where the format is from.

AnarchistArtificer ,

That's a point I hadn't considered, thank you for highlighting it. People who knowingly make and spread antisemitic and bigoted memes leverage ambiguity and plausible deniability to facilitate their reach; it's necessary to be ever mindful of nuances in the memes we share if we don't want to unwittingly spread harmful content.

they/them army we're firebombing Salt Lake City

No need, the great salt lake is drying up and the city will likely be entirely uninhabitable by 2050.

According to a new report released Sunday, 3,309 cases of hate and violence against the LGBTQ community were reported to the Association for LGBTQ Equality in Israel in 2022.

Twenty-five percent of all reports of anti-LGBT incidents occurred during the months of November and December, after the elections and around the time the new government was being sworn in. This is an increase of about 11 percent compared to 2021, when about 2,971 cases were reported. The association reports that the increase is part of a continuing trend in the number of reports in recent years.

But Israel is totally an LGBTQ safe haven, guys...

Like what's the threshold here? How homophobic does a group of people have to be to justify genocide? Can the same argument be made towards Republicans, since a majority of them are homophobic?

Not to mention all the queer people in Palestine who need our support

Kaboom ,

You do realize that Palestine executes queer people, right? They dont have any because they fled to Israel

People learn to live in the closet.

SuckMyWang ,

Safer than Palestine though right?

ProvableGecko ,

Yes, only because Israel hasn't bombed Israel yet

Valmond ,

Thanks for the info, it sure is telling.

Just can't think that a question about LGBTQ shouldn't be if you "support" it? I mean do I have to "support" a hetero guy & a hetero girl being together?

Maybe questions should be like: do you like that people love eachother, or do you think you should have a say in how people feel?

IDK, hopefully the future will be better. Right guys? And gals! And transbians! And all of you glorious loving people out there!
