problems with turning swastika graffiti into windows:
you know and I know and nazis know that it used to be a swastika
the police probably don’t know or care that it used to be a swastika so they’re not gonna do anything about it
it leaves the graffiti undocumented
it leaves the graffiti unreported
it doesn’t get the graffiti cleaned up
affected groups still have to see it and know that a swastika was there
instead:
take a picture of it
report it
make sure it’s documented
make sure it gets cleaned up
I’d much rather see no swastika graffiti than see a window and think “the police won’t care about this because some ‘ally’ thought they were helping”
Yes, thank you!! This is extremely unhelpful. Speaking as a Jew, it is far better for allies of local minority communities to TAKE A PICTURE of the graffiti and document it, then ASSIST US IN REPORTING it to the police. Covering up the swastika with other imagery means that POLICE CANNOT PROSECUTE the incident as a hate crime and it becomes very unlikely that the vandal(s) will be caught. It may make you feel ~warm and fluffy~, but our communities know exactly what’s under that Windows logo and it does not make us less angry or afraid. Moreover, it makes clean-up /so much harder/ and only further vandalizes the structure (which, let’s be honest, is usually a Jewish house of worship, organization, or a Jewish-owned business). PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS. PLEASE.
When people say their ship is superior because it’s gay/lesbian
When people say their ship is superior because it’s straight
When people post hate in the tag
When people overreact and call other people racist/homophobic because they don’t like their biracial ship
When gay people think that all straight people who don’t ship their gay ship are homphobic even though there does exist straight LGBT supporters who DO ship their gay ship
When straight people think that all gay people hate straight ships even though there are some out there who don’t:

Me, a maladaptive daydreamer: oh this is a blessing let me just listen to music and stare at my window while my mind slips away into my alternate reality
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
