I don't like the histrionics of the Résistance Lesbienne.

The guy lit a road flare and he isn't shown attempting to touch anyone with it. He sort of waved it in front of himself to back people off, which is dangerous and irresponsible, but was he trying to burn lesbians? No.

«...noues ont agressées avec une arme» No. That is a dishonest misrepresentation of what happened. He was acting out to try to grab attention and disrupt their protest. He was careless with a burning object. That's already bad behavior, why exaggerate?

I speak French fairly well and I'm also not happy with some of the dehumanizing language being thrown around on the Résistance Twitter account. "Mascu," "hétéra," there are normal words already for these people, you don't need labels to communicate disdain.

I dunno, he/she/it gets pretty close around :30. He/she/it backs up then moves up again. Regardless, intimidating people who disagree with you by waving a pyrotechnic at them is not a good look for the TRAs.

I didn't say he's a good guy, he could have hurt someone and definitely wanted to scare them. He didn't attack anyone though, or try as far as I can see so.... stick to reality. That's all I'm saying.
