Under moonbattery, everything is upside down, backward, and inverted. Healthy people admire eagles and lions. The sort of moonbats the media promotes in steeply declining South Africa admire hyenas:

They are often disparaged as ugly, sly and cruel scavengers but for South African artist Hannelie Coetzee, hyenas are symbols of female power and the normalisation of queerness.

The walls of her studio in the university district of downtown Johannesburg are covered in drawings in ink and rooibos tea of the sloped-back carnivores, her heroines of the bush. …

[T]he animal is also represented in sculptures Coetzee fashions from scavenged materials.

Scavenged materials are appropriate. Hyenas are to lions what vultures are to eagles.

Coetzee says she addresses the hyenas with which she identifies “from an ecofeminist perspective.” Endearingly for moonbats, they engage in behavior that has been portrayed as nonheteronormative.

She was born into a white family that was “on the wrong side of apartheid”, conservative and homophobic.

Having left all that behind her, she embraces her true family, queer-friendly feminist hyenas.

Previously, Coetzee was known for “ecological installations such as public urinals watering plants” — another appropriate choice of material.

According to her website,

“I am making a selection of queer creatures for this body of work to share how observing them, scientifically, contributes to the normalisation of non-heteronormative sexualities from natures [sic] perspective.”

Art isn’t about art anymore, if only because producing good art is hard. Now art is about moonbattery.

Speaking of lions and hyenas, countermoonbats may find this uplifting:
