So I was chilling over at the Megatokyo forums, when I noticed an odd looking .sig file. Usually, they’re quite colorful and have fantasy or anime themes. Sometimes they have bad-ass guys, sometimes they have semi-naked women. Heck, if you know what I mean when I say sig file, you’ve probably seen plenty of variants yourself. But this one was rather simple; just some line drawings.
Given that the forum was for an anime-style webcomic, the picture was entirely unexpected, and it took me a minute to get it.
Most game/comic/lesiure etc. non-political forums don’t like it when you start talking real-world politics. This guy figured out how to silently make his point, and I doubt most folks of the opposite persuasion (as in “Paliapologists”) even notice. Sneaky.
Another nice summary of the difference:
The Palestinians want to kill all the Israelis, but cannot. The Israelis can kill all the Palestinians, but won’t.
Well, they can kill a few Israelis. Enough to be pesky, but not nation threatening. I’d be irritated were I Israeli.
And really, I think the point is that Hamas fights from behind (and among) civilians, the IDF fights in front of them.
Well, duh. But all the paleo-symps will see is “Look at that evil IDF guy–he’s aiming at the baby carriage!”
.sig files as a Rorschach test. Who’d a thunk?
