Just curious how many of you are cool with this deeply racist image being the header for one of your comms

Edit: SJW mods officially endorse racism. Suck off a liberal and a fascist cums

      What racism? You have yet to explain what's racist about this picture. I am willing to accept that I'm wrong and I'm just not seeing it from the right perspective, but you have to be willing to explain why rather than just condemn.

          Alright, I can see that. Not deliberate, as they also tinted his suit red to heighten the comparison to Winnie the Pooh, who also has a yellow face, but I can see your perspective now you've actually given it. Deeply racist is absolutely a stretch, though, but "kinda racist" is absolutely correct.

                  I condemn you, actually. Yes, the picture is poorly thought out and needs revision, even though it was designed for reasons other than racism. That's what you should have said. But you didn't want to fix the picture, you wanted to condemn everyone on this site for not condemning the picture.

                    What a contemptible piece of shit instance we got federated with this time. Fuck this place. Look at this asshole. Acting all fucking wounded because they weren't coddled during the agonizingly slow process of them finally admitting that putting a world leader representing over a billion people in yellow face MIGHT be SLIGHTLY racist ON ACCIDENT. As if the feelings of the person committing the offense are the most important consideration in explaining their offense to them. The fucking entitlement.

                    I don't buy your bullshit. It's not only racist, it's deliberately racist and not only that but deep down you fucking know it as well. Just ask yourself: what's the fucking point of the caricature in the first place? To be insulting, right? It's an otherwise beloved childhood character though, isn't it? So why has the west latched onto it so strongly? To mock his appearance, right? It's a yellow fucking cartoon bear. Why are you acting coy about it? It's not about his weight. It's not that he has the facial features of a bear. No one makes pictures depicting him as Yogi or Baloo. It's his race.

                    Well ideally, everyone here would agree this is problematic. But instead a whole bunch of people jumped in to defend it to the death

                      They jumped in to defend themselves. That's what happens when you attack them. If you attack the thing and not the people, they don't get so defensive.

                        No one attacked anyone. OP asked how many of you were cool with this image. All you have to do is say "actually no, that image is fucked up" and suddenly you're not under attack. In order to interpret this post as anything remotely similar to an attack on your character, you have to first decide that you're cool with racism.

                  We accept that this image can be interpreted as racist, if one is unaware of the origin and original meaning of said image.
