I’m super not-okay with that Mike Dawson “Why Did They Come” comic. If you’re a graphic artist in the U.S.? You know damn well what Maus is. Goyische graphic artists do not get to use the mouse-cat analogy for people fleeing their countries due to oppression, especially if those people aren’t Jewish, and certainly not if the text of the panel that does involve Jews absurdly downplays what was actually happening.

Like, you can make the exact same point without appropriating a seminal document of the Shoah’s aftermath.

Oh, it’s even worse than I thought. It says “Apologies to Art Spiegelman and Don Bluth.” Nope. Nope nope nope, you don’t get to rip this off. Make the same point and just change the fucking mice/cat thing – it’s not that hard.

Goyim don’t get to use incredibly important allegories of Jewish oppression at will. This shit needs to stop.

“Apologies, but plagiarism and also a barely veiled appropriation of the Shoah”

This makes me really uncomfortable. I mean… the whole Jews-as-rats imagery used in Maus was explicit reclamation of an intensely antisemitic trope and… It’s just not an okay thing for goyim to imitate.

Ever.

Plus when I saw the comic one of the panels was instantly recognizable as a pogrom and… it wasn’t okay.

The comic on Dawson’s tumblr has like 44,000 notes, and this post has like a thousand.
