Maybe but the bottom left looks like an organ transporting container and i dont think they use that for abortions. But ig its art even tho i dont agree with everything it represents.
Bottom left looks like forced organ harvesting? Not sure how often that actually happens to children, but the world is a fucked up place so it’s possible I suppose.
Or that children are being sacrificed to them. Crucification was a state punishment, so maybe they are trying to say that governments are complicit in the crime? Maybe?
Or maybe that children are our saviors/future, but they are being sacrificed on the backs of these topical issues?
I am still so confused about this one. Is this like a thing? Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised anymore. All the rest is pretty real, we basically “sacrifice” children by giving religions so much power, war, unregulated fast food, etc.
Big thing in many developing countries. There’s entire villages where many people give away their own organs or those of their children for the equivalent of a couple hundred bucks. Mostly kidneys, since you can live with one of them but still pretty messed up.
I feel like almost all of it is blatantly obvious everyone the surgeon with the cooler, since I’m not aware of any child organ harvesting epidemic (and I maybe don’t want to be).
Really unsure about the symbolism here. Didn’t Jesus die on the cross for our sins to be forgiven or something along those lines? So this kinda implies the abused children die to give forgivness to the people they are nailed to here…
Please correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve never been to a church and neither has anyone I know.
Even in religious circles the forgiveness part is normally left out. The phrase often repeated is “Jesus died for your sins” without any mention of forgiveness. Since that is the common turn of phrase then this depicts children suffering/dying because of the sins of someone else.
What always bugs me about this is that they had the boys in underwear. Like, if it’s fine to symbolize with clothed girls, why do you need to do it differently with boys?
100% with ya, the double standards are kinda crazy. The differnce between the first two panels is pretty stark in regards to the kid, even if the point is essentially the same.
My take is that male bodies need to exposed in order to be sexualized so they read vulnerable, but female bodies are can be read as sexualized and vulnerable regardless how they are presented. But that doesn't really explain panel 4 & 6.
Weird choices. If anyone knows who the artist is, I'd be curious how they would talk about this.
That kid is way too young for organ harvesting though. Most of the demand for organs is from adults who need adult sized organs and kid organs won't keep growing in a body that's long stopped producing all the hormone indicators to signal for growth.
Prob some anti-medicine/ pharma/ vax or other conspiracy stuff. Organ harvesting from children isn’t a thing, unless that’s the conspiracy and we’re right back where we started.
The only reasonable thing I can think of is lack of access to healthcare, and I guess insurance people and lobbyists don’t have uniforms so they went with a doctor.
Child organ trafficking is much rarer than sexual, but very much a thing that exists. Conspiracies may exaggerate, but don’t make the mistake of dismissing the existence entirely as a consequence
