Bram Stoker’s Dracula, illustrated by Javier Olivares.
"Greek culture did not hold that the world was necessarily wholly beautiful. Its mythology tells of monstrosities and errors [...] On the other hand in the gods artists saw the model of supreme beauty and this perfection was the aim of the statuary that represented the inhabitants of Olympus. Paradoxically, with the advent of the Christian world this relationship - at least some aspects of it - was inverted: from a theologico-metaphysical standpoint the entire universe is beautiful because it is a divine work and thanks to this total beauty even ugliness and evil are in some way redeemed. By way of compensation, Christ, the human expression of divinity who suffered for us, is portrayed in the moment of his greatest humiliation. [...] When art has to deal with the Passion of Christ, we realise what Hegel pointed out in his Aesthetics, 'you cannot use forms of Greek beauty to portray Christ scourged, crowned with thorns, dying on the cross'. This acceptance of the 'ugliness' of Christ was not immediate, however. [...] It is only in the late Middle Ages that the man on the cross begins to be seen as a real man, beaten, bloodied, disfigured by pain [...] But the introduction of ugliness and suffering to the celebration of the divine encouraged other types of ugliness, which were taken to extreme limits for moralistic and devotional purposes: from images of death, hell, the devil, and sin, to those showing the sufferings of the martyrs."

National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) dir. Jon Turteltaub
Male leftists of all ideological tendencies remain firmly attached to behaving like sexual predators, pedophiles, and manipulating/exploiting women to their interests without ever being questioned or called to account, protected more than often by their friends or people who look the other way.
Perhaps the benefit of social networks is that they leave a trail, and just like the finnishbolshevik, there are other leftists (including women too) on this website like memecucker, queernuck, sobercommunist, and many others who engage in such types of behaviour but remain free to do so because of the lack of accountability and their friends and followers here.
Memecucker and queernuck’s crimes are reblogging anime art related to creepy/lolicon blogs, or in memecucker’s case actually reblogging somewhat suggestive art of girls that people suspect look underage. Queernuck afaik didn’t actually reblog anything explicitly suggestive: more likely than not she wasn’t paying attention to the blogs she was reblogging from. But to characterize queernuck’s behavior as akin to “male leftists” who behave like “sexual predators, pedophiles, and manipulate/exploit women to their interests” when all she likely did was not pay attention to the people she was reblogging from feels nothing short of transmisogynistic. If you want to say she was being irresponsible, fine. But she’s neither a predator nor a pedophile and to suggest she is based off of this is fucking absurd.
