    As someone who grew up in Dubai I can tell you it is slavery.

    Also as someone who grew up in Dubai and remembers the ‘Dubai! The city that cares!’ Ads on the radio I wonder if those fuckers considered that woke or not.

    Also the children’s magazine Majjid added a female police officer to their police comic some time in the 2000s. I don’t remember when, but apparently the Hitler stache wearing sidekick goof cop is still there being a moron (yes…)

        I looked up the wayback machine. I did find some stuff, but I am on my phone and I need my real machine to properly get them. I’ll report back in several hours. Stay tuned!

        Looks like it’s Majid with one “j”. Found this page; which seems to show the character OP mentioned, Lieutenant Maryam. Can’t find when she was first featured—wikipedia just says she was added later.

          Yes you even have the Hitler stache guy in it.

          Damn… they REALLY changed their art style since the 90s or even 2000s.
