I have had this to read since I insta-backed the Kickstarter and can't believe it's taken me this long to get around to it!
It truly is a gorgeous collaborative effort with beautiful art and wonderful ideas. There is no particular leaning towards a specific political idealogy, beyond socialism and general communism, so there's no fear of authoritarian Marxist-Leninist dogma, but at the same time not as much explicit anarchist sensibilities, which I would have loved to see. This is good vibes, anti-authority, pro-solidarity wholesomeness you would expect from your himbo comrades.
The diverse representation and explicit inclusion of Genderqueer and non-conforming himbos and other characters is glorious to see, especially with so many spaces, media and theory often focuses on a bunch of old dead cishet white dudes, ignoring the radical work BIPOC, Queer, and trans folx have been doing and involved in since forever. It's a sad fact that to this day orgs splinter and oppose each other because of the bigotry some supposed revolutionaries cling onto like petty tyrants. Some self-described anarchist figure made a video in the last few years claiming that working class people don't know or care about trans or non binary people. Fucking shameful. The most marginalised have always been on the frontlines, while those with more privilege have always served themselves first, leaving their marginalised comrades behind. Interactionality over everything!
To the people who felt hoodwinked by the cover, what are you talking about? Have you never seen a comicbook or graphic novel cover before? Are you this upset about the comicbook era when they discovered putting primates on the cover made sales significantly improve, regardless of whether any featured at all inside?
To the people who say it's not gay enough, sib please. Noone gets to judge what's gay enough (outside of heterosexual people making supposedly Queer stuff) and what?! There's a lot of gay and Queer goodness in here. Romance and sex aren't the focus of the comics, so what do you want? Smells a little like transphobia based on some of the couples in here...
This is a beautiful book and a wonderful, heartfelt endeavour. Thank you!
Love, support, and solidarity!… (mais)
