I get the reference on the one hand but I’m concerned what people who don’t follow the series might think that flag means. (I can think of other sorts of imagery from One Piece that might have been a lot better to reference, honestly, like either the

flag or all of the subtle

variants that appear throughout the series.) I appreciate the article providing other examples of young adult protests that made pop culture references. Nice to hear more about the different trends among young protesters abroad.

Also, professor Suyanto’s analysis:

“And I see it as effective … their voices became louder and many political elites have responded, though whether [their] response meets the public expectations is another matter.”

“They don’t need to take to the streets, confront authorities, or face police batons.”
