Marjane Satrapi made a career out of proliferating orientalist western caricatures of her own people. While Satrapi cashed in on racist campaigns thinly veiled by anti-patriarchal rhetoric calling for 'regime change' in Iran, she never once used her platform to speak out against the ongoing existential threats presented by Western powers against Palestinian, Lebanese, Iranian and ALL other Muslim women in West Asia. It's a fitting end for someone who remained blithely silent through three years of genocide in the region that raised her to literally die of grief over the loss of one gangly Swedish white guy.
