    I mean if we're being real: We have far more emotes of Stalin and he confirmed knocked up an underage girl multiple times.

    So where do we draw the line on this exactly?

      I don't think that's confirmed. The author who asserted that also wrote Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar (Montefiore), and the genetic test match was reported from a fake newspaper (The Siberian Times).

        I've seen it stated elsewhere in respectable sources, I buy it personally.

        Fact is: There are at absolute minimum allegations that Stalin was a pedo.

            In some Russian biographies about him that I read in the past. Off the top of my head I don't have a specific title.

            Opinion discarded right?

              No, not at all; I'm genuinely on the fence. I just wanted to dig deeper.

      Wouldn't say that's the only bad thing he did lmao

      Speaking of lmao, we have a tonne of :mao-clap: emotes, and bloody hell there were some non-chill consequences of his policy and cult of personality during the cultural revolution.

        What I mean is: If we get rid of Chomsky's emotes for associating with Epstein, should we not also get rid of Stalin's for provably having sex with an underage girl?

        And to clarify: I'm against removing either. I think it would set a dumb and unnecessary precedent for "cancelling" emotes.
