You know why
It's for carrying books. Read theory ffs
Can’t say I get the same level of enjoyment out of this as a Catholic.
What if she's a liberation theologist?
A liberation theologian still wouldn’t and still shouldn’t replace the Bible with Marxism and the cross with a hammer and sickle etc.
How about this? (kinda lazily done)
also came to mind but if anyone thinks its emote worthy fire away
I envy people like you who can make a great drawing like this with minimum effort...
Thanks! :) fwiw it wasn't that minimal, but I also have had- some practice I guess? Even if not often enough for the longest time, it's always been a hobby..
Yeah its good character design as well! Won't look out of place in a nice webcomic. The world needs your drawings!
You see it as replacing, but I don't see why it can't be both at the same time?
Explain to me why they should be combined or seen as equivalent
They're really not equivalent, yeah, but I'm not gonna reject Marxists who want to take the new Catholic symbol and make something communist with it because even Pope Francis wants us to be more open to working together.
Communist can do what they like, I can’t stop them.
Personally though, I’m not keen on taking a character whose whole artistic purpose is to be a cute little pilgrim and turn her into something she isn’t or emphasizes something that runs contrary to that purpose.
I realize I’m being 
about it, but I think too much of the fan art I’ve seen has strayed from the purity and innocence the original artwork was meant to invoke.
Whether it’s people overly memeifying it, or weird trads portraying her as a crusader killing people etc. and so on.
Sure, she’s not high art or even I would say sacred, but people are taking a character who was made to help guide people to God and have foisted a lot of their own earthly hang ups on to it and that rubs me the wrong way.
Sure the Pope says Catholics and Marxist should be more open to working together, but I don’t know if you can build that kind of relationship by taking a “Catholic symbol” removing everything holy about it and replacing it with communism.
It strikes me as rather disrespectful and or offensive and thus counter-productive to that goal.
…it’s a cartoon.
Art means something even cartoons
I totally get where you're coming from, but if I can put my differences aside to the point that I can equally laugh at the 
images as well as Anarchist memes, I can't justify to myself to feel disrespected by something that's meant in good will. Everyone's got a line that's their prerogative to draw where they see fit though.
people are taking a character who was made to help guide people to God and have foisted a lot of their own earthly hang ups
However, how else can one start to build a path to your God for the mortals of the earth but with the familiar earthly materials? All rivers must flow to the sea no matter how many twists and turns they take.
but I don’t know if you can build that kind of relationship by taking a “Catholic symbol” removing everything holy about it and replacing it with communism
Communism is also holy since its teleology is born out of the abrahamic dream of creating paradise on earth where one loves thy neighbor, as stated by his holiness st. bhagavan shree matt christman (PBUH).
Good point. She probably needs a re-edit then.
Jesusist-Maoist Thought
I'm Catholic and while I'd quibble with some symbolism, it's entirely fine in the general vibes. people will take symbols and use them in their own circumstances, and communists who are Catholic will do the same. I do think the character should be kept non-violent though, since she's a child.
as a Catholic
REPENT HERETIC! REPENT FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE DEMIURGE AND BE REBORN (START FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE PLAYLIST) AS PART OF HIS HOLINESS ST. BHAGAVAN SHREE MATT CHRISTMAN'S (SWT) SACRED FLOCK
no
Eh fr tho some of his cushvlogs are quite interesting I would recommend checking them out as background noise.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
You've heard of the Spanish Inquisition, now you''ll have the ~~Soviet~~ Maoist Inquisition!
Why the belt? BRI?
students during the cultural revolution used to hit their teachers with belts for being reactionary
Sub heaven
RETVRN
Good catch, it really is a WWJD moment :o
Communist China Luce, more accurately
She will criticize all the capitalist roaders and imperialists dogs 
... gang of 4 faction or dentist faction?
dentist faction?
I don't see any confiscated toothbrush in her hand, so she's probably not working with the dentists.
the red book and belt give red guard vibes so gang of 4 i think
Ah, shame she has to go to a farm up country to get some good old fasioned rustication done.
boots with soles worn down from marching so far
yet totally unsullied, like her conscience
Kinda reminds me of this tbh
Luce is on her way to see Subcommendante Marcos and establish protracted peoples war. She's in her establishing the divine unity of mankind phase, she's giving off Soviet Cosmist vibes, she's fully De Chardain-pilled
And she makes the effort to keep her boots clean! That's a Luce I can get behind.
Best Luce edit
