Who is posting all of this Iran stuff

I hate when events like these are used for photops and cringey narratives. It cheapens it and makes people not take it seriously.

For some context, this was taken on November 15, 2022 in Shiraz during a protest over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini who died in the custody of Iran’s moral police. The photographer asked to remain anonymous for her safety. She said:

> This kiss happened while men and women were fighting together, fighting for the freedom of the Islamic Republic,” she said. “I think this will only make more people speak together and fight with more enthusiasm.

In no way am I implying that the current protests aren't incredibly important. But context matters. It helps to prevent the spread of disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda.
