Careful now…
When I was 10 or so my cousins and I put a basketball hoop in the barn loft after all the hay bales were used for the season. My uncle came up the ladder and told us to be careful or we’d “get a bunch of coons in here playing ball.” I didn’t know that word was a slur at the time, so the image of a bunch of raccoons playing basketball was hilarious to me.
When I was in my 20’s I told that story and everyone just grimaced. Someone had to tell me what he had actually meant.
Incredible

Came in to post exactly that.

I am out of the loop. What gives with all the sailormoon memes and AI generated images today?
It’s just a trend. There was that time the trend here was to make CCTV pop culture characters stealing things from a Target back room.
Aah, thanks for the response
It’s like The Coon and Princess Kenny fused together DBZ style
Amazing
I got a bit concerned when I saw the title before the image.
Here’s a recreation by scrolling back up and screenshotting.
No one dare mentioning chicken here.
OP, derogatory term. Maybe you aren’t aware?

It’s short for raccoon and a derogatory term for black people. As clever as it is to call this Sailor Coon to have a clear rhyme with Sailor Moon, I think it would be better for the name to have been Sailor Raccoon to keep the rhyme and ditch the brevity to avoid this association.

Not the only one. Why are you afraid of this topic?

That’s for the moderators to decide. The title is one of the main components of any post and the tree-like structure of the comments mean topics can go in many directions.
