Two Panel Comic
1: [Blue background. A slightly overweight white man wears a camo bullet proof vest over a black t-shirt. He has a black baseball cap on his head and wears a red bandana over his nose and mouth. He wears a menacing expression on his face.]
Guy: I’m a Proud Boy and I will never stop fighting for true manliness!
2: [Pink background. The Proud Boy now twiddles his fingers, with an abashed expression on his face. His eyes are drawn in an anime style with an anime blush across his nose and cheeks.]
Guy: But I also gotta hide my face because I’m a widdle soft-as-baby-shit chicken.
Hate this genre because it comes back to us when we are criticized for being masked in protests when its nothing to do with “manliness” for either of us its op sec.
Yeah as someone who hates Proud Boys, this is obviously a bad faith attack on them which has the exact blowback you say.
People doing (or threatening to do) political violence are usually going to want to hide their identities from law enforcement and employers, and virtually everyone is afraid of getting arrested and/or fired.
