      Everything is fascist to you isn’t it? Like everything you disagree with. Amelia meme is reaction for Orwelian propaganda made be leftist people. Did you play the “Pathways” (game amelia character came from)? It literally Orwell novel IRL

        Yeah I played it. She was player bait, a classic femme fatale. You were supposed to end up at the racist rally because look she has fun hair and then oop regret your decisions.

        Orwellian is a misnomer here, though. The “game” was literally about getting on with homework instead of being drawn into sketchy shit. Unless you really hate homework and you want to rage against learning idk

          Nowhere it’s mentioned rally is racist. Literally nowhere. There’s not a single wrong thing about it, but it’s framed as bad. Worse, game implies that you should ignore scientific data (as main character goes through statistics and charts on supposedly harmful site). That’s horrifying. Like, Orwelian level of horrifying.

          Obey. Never do your own research, obey, rallies bad because we say so, obey, obey, obey.

          Orwell 1984 wasn’t supposed to be an instruction manual. FFS

            Amelia, Charlie's close friend, has made a video encouraging young people in Bridlington to join a political group that seeks to defend English rights.

            This is very obviously an English nationalist, nativist, xenophobic, racist, rally.

            Whilst it’s pointless to further discuss precise authorial intent, what is interesting is your insistence that this little illustrated story is not referencing the far-right with a character that has been subsequently co-opted by the far-right.

              This isn’t far right in the first place. This is norm in poland, where I live. If immigrant crimes, he gets deported. You think Poland is far right fascist regime? Of course it’s not. Your interpretation of reality is twisted and incoherent. This is exactly what that propaganda wants you to be - typical Orwelian doublethinker.
