>>7931You can probably join the congress chat and ask about it if you want to be certain mods see it, or even just posting here like you did.
There is a big difference between:
>OP: i dont like thisor
> >>7936 : i dont like thisand
>You: (actually explaining why you object)The first two are shitposts that will be ignored.
The banner is a reference to a famous picture of a known leftist who took nude photos of themselves for bunkerchan and later leftypol.org, in front of a gifted Confederate flag they keep as a cover.
Within context, the image is obviously not an endorsement of conservative Confederate beliefs, if anything it is a mockery of them. The banner is not reactionary.
>>7944 makes a decent point; for those without context, this image is a confederate flag being given a place at the top of the site. It is a poor first impression.
A counterpoint is that /leftypol/ is not a hugbox. It's literally titled "Leftist Politically Incorrect". Reactionary users and ideas are allowed to be posted here, and always have been, so long as good faith discussion is possible. Memes like Nazbol Gang are /leftypol/ originals. And surely people will realize the irony in a nominally leftist site featuring an symbol of a right-wing ideology with the text "leftypol". It's a reference to site lore, a traditional role of banners.
It might be possible to replace it with the newer picture of the pan-African flag next to the confederate flag.
