GodardOnGodard posted... can't believe this guy would do this after all he went through all those years ago when he was targeted. you'd think he would have learned his lesson. this French guy just doesn't learn Just tossing this out there -- Charlie Hebdo is a publication, not an artist. I'm not sure that the artist for that particular image was working for the publication at the time. However, the artists clearly did learn since they're not terribly likely to suffer an attack as a result of this publication. It'll rile up BLM supporters, but because they're a sea away it's not like Charlie Hebdo is at serious risk of being attacked as a result of this. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:951681894] in Famous Fre...

adjl 03/13/21 10:38:05 PM #12:	Honestly, I kind of get what they were going for. The royal family's racism toward Markle comes off as particularly egregious and tone-deaf because of how prominent anti-racism sentiments are right now (at least in North America), and drawing a parallel highlights that. It's obviously still in pretty poor taste, but it gets the point across. --- This is my signature.

After the caption was explained, it kinda felt like they were swiping in the other direction -- suggesting that Markle's accusations (which I haven't really followed) were over-dramatic.

Zeus 03/14/21 2:39:03 AM #16:	Also worth noting that a schoolgirl got canceled for making a joke about his death just a few weeks ago. Actually, come to think of it, why does Charlie Hebdo never get canceled? Does France not do that shit?
