Standing, she'd be about the height of one of the cops legs. I get that some people are short, just has an awkward read visually (fascists can be stopped, cops can be hurt, they're not invincible or superior).

Ah yes, the common raciat stereotype of black people being... uh, short

I didn't say anything about a stereotype being applied, except to the fascist imagery (that they're ubermensch/strong).

I'm starting to think people aren't able to read what I'm saying. No wonder you guys are peacefully accepting the new regime as if it's all powerful. You all seem defeated and trapped in your ideological mindsets.

Good luck.

That's not what you said. You said the black lady was like "a dwarf or a troll". Maybe the problem is you being able to read what you wrote?

I never mentioned her race. I actually have a heavy redlight filter on my phone and thought it was a depiction of a Mexican woman. I said something about her height, not her race

But I agree she is depicted as super humanly short, or rather the cop is being depicted as super humanly tall - as an untouchable ubermensch.

Yeah... You know, there is something being said here, but you're completely missing the point.

Let me put it another way; the cop is Goliath, symbolically. A big, giant, well armed brute that beats down on a minority. Get it now?

lol I see what you are saying, but I think you're being critical of the artistic liberties taken when drawing this
