Early forms of this are happening. Manga-influenced art is used in comics to defend homophobia, Malay privilege, misogyny and exclusionism in a "cute" way that appeals to gen-z

Young Malays who genuinely believe they're not racist happily call non-Muslims kafir and post on FB about how the majority should be "respected" for the sake of interracial harmony, smiley emojis and all. These same kids often dislike right-wing American politics

The western left often is accused of being "too tolerant" of minorities, like when twitter shuts down ex-Muslim accounts said to be spreading hate but not Muslims calling for the execution of apostates

For some on the left, it's expected that minorities should be given some leeway because they're not in a position of power. And despite Malay Muslims being the dominant group locally, western Islamophobia makes the community feel like victims anyway

It's just a matter of time before this takes on a social justice tone. The far-right already does videos like the snack ad that managed to be transphobic, racist and anti-Semitic at the same time

Now imagine something like that but with cheerful music and PragerU infographics in the vein of Jakim's conversion therapy video

Malay supremacy won't remain angry and crude like the TP fascists forever. In the future it will come by way of colourful cosplayers and bubbly pop music. This is the future, ladies and gentlemen
