Banners of books

People who exist to ban books from being read

That or there's a giant banner stretched out and made entirely of books just to the left.

Makes sense, I suppose. I've heard the term "book burners" but never "book banners". Not that it doesn't make sense but given that they're carrying flaming torches...

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 9 points 1 day ago

It definitely made me double-take at first because my brain tried to read "burners" at first until I realized that isn't what it said...

And I thought the torches were flags for a second, too.

As in people who ban books. It tripped me up too.
