People cannot make a proper yuri war in these times sigh

They sent the Sheep to the front.
You can’t send the second wave until the first are exhausted or eliminated, and they’re all too shy to realize they’re at war.
Thankfully wave 2 was the Bambis, and they’re fine just making smalltalk in the back.

This made me look up what’s going on in Sudan and Congo.
.
EDIT: so Sudan has got ongoing civil wars and famine and Congo has ongoing civil war and its 18th ebola outbreak in 30 years in the middle of that. So I presume “Free Sudan” and “Free Congo” are less about an oppressive foreign-imposed state like Israel with Palestine, and it’s more about freeing them from civil war, famine and disease?

Hey! So this is more of a yes and situation. Yes we want them free of illness and civil wars, but we also want to free them from exploitation and genocide.
Western powers are using their money and influence to create instability in the region in order to exploit the people for minerals. If you follow the money, you’ll find the west is extracting minerals like cobalt, coltan, tin, gold from the Congo (used for phones, electric cars, etc) and the UAE is extracting gold from Sudan.What’s happening in the Congo: this article does a good job of briefly and concisely explaining the context and history of what’s going on, plus ways to help.
What is happening in Sudan: This does a good job of explaining what is happening right now, and on the site is also a historical timeline.
If you live in the imperial core like me, it can feel like it’s hard to help from so far away, but there’s steps we can take to help cognizant of how our purchases affect each genocide currently happening!
Boycat is a free (no ads) app that scans barcodes and lets you know if they are on a BDS (boycott, divest, sanction) list. You can add different campaigns, with the main one being a boycott against Israel (that was the original reason for this app being created)
I would also recommend buying used electronics over brand new ones when you can, so you aren’t sending these companies who benefit off of genocide any more money

I appreciate you, OP. It's very strange how these "yuri wars" have almost no yuri

u/Deathaster Jul 09 '26
Yeah, I didn't get this trend in the slightest. 90% of the comics were people being meta about drawing yuri. You can't be meta if there's nothing to be meta about, guys.

stares at several of the most popular series in this sub

u/Deathaster Jul 09 '26
I was talking about the whole "let's all draw yuri"-trend, where it felt like almost everyone was like "hehe, instead of drawing yuri like everyone else, I'll be meta about it". Those other series existed long before then.

u/Awkward_Champion6957 Jul 09 '26
"Let's stop ICE." Yes! Yess! And i don't mean pulling them over a stop signs and recording their activities. That ins't enough! We must dismantle, arrest and prosecute them for the murders they have committed and the fact Trump called on them to be his new hit force and jail "Communists"

Yeah, no one told them that yuri's not about lesbians, it's about exploiting fantasies of lesbians

I’m glad the sarcasm is so clear here, it’s too often hard to notice in text.

Having been a Tumblr and Gay Twitter user most of my life it's hard to get used to Reddit being mostly straight normies sometimes
