Critics said the couple are celebrating symbols of misogynistic oppression with their ‘insensitive’ images
Photographers Shawn Van Daele and Clint Russell have come out defending the image, saying that the whole point was to start a difficult conversation.‘Everyone is talking about this issue now, rather than binging on a television series and then not doing anything about what they’re so worked up over until the next season comes out in the spring.
‘What’s sad is that the oppression and hatred, the division, fear and breakdown of humanity and compassion is being perpetuated in every one of these comments. ‘Take a step back and consider you may not actually know the facts, either – that this image was created and put out by a pair of “Gender Traitors” who are no strangers to many of the subplots of oppression, violence, and inequality that run through Margaret’s brilliant work.’Shawn said the angry reaction was sad and exactly as expected. He said it was a missed opportunity for people to educate themselves and engage in an issue rather than just being ‘keyboard warriors’.
‘So you’re correct – it’s gross, disgusting, and a horrible reality that is rampantly becoming more ‘real’ in the world day by day – and comment by comment.
