    I love that you link through Invidious.

    I was reading about Kurdish refugees, and couldn’t help notice how similar their “third way” was to the Firelights in arcane in the fight between ISIL and the Syrian government. It’s not unreasonable to conclude there’s been an exchange of ideas between European animators (some of whom made arcane) and Kurdish artists. Zerocalcare, Italy’s most famous cartoonist visited Kobanî and made a popular comic book about the experience. Check out this mural for martyrs drawn by Kurdish refugees in a ligne claire style popularized by European cartoonists, and tell me you don’t see inspiration for the mural in the Fightlight’s refuge.
