It's not erasure, though. It's being hounded with death threats Recursion Dec 2019 #2

If it were just erasure that would be much easier to live with. It's people posting your address and threatening physical and sexual violence against you.

is in the face of a child. Regardless of the similarity to Greta. Since when is any of this acceptable?
It is only recent past that others have gotten in trouble for similar graphics.
And why arrows? Why didn't they use simulated bullet holes? Would that have gone too far?
Do the arrows represent Native Americans?
Is it Greta?

If you are asking these questions, the graphic should not be used.
Period.
