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

Thread now locked, so you can’t brigadedeeper-sadness

I understand this to be an official endorsement of racism from the mod team at shitjustworks

Enjoy this attempt to find a single non-racist among our new friends

    On the face of it it’s so bloody unimportant - you can’t post a picture of winnie the pooh? That is truly the most oppressed anyone has ever been in history.

    And then you actually examine all of the articles they have - every single citation is just “reportedly” “allegedly” “this happened to one student” ass primary sources. I’ve never actually looked into this in depth until now (because I actually lived in China and of course saw the fucking bear everywhere), in my mind they had more convincing propaganda than that.

    E.g.

    “He’s propagating the issue, and frankly, I think he’s humiliated himself by being so childish about it,” says Deb Hoffmann, who holds the world record for the largest collection of Winnie the Pooh memorabilia. “If he would’ve just let it go, it would have died down by now. Plus, if the idiot knew anything, he would be delighted to be compared to Winnie the Pooh. After all, Winnie the Pooh is a very good-hearted, wonderful, thoughtful person. Being compared to Winnie the Pooh is actually quite the compliment!”

    This may be the most guts-rage shit, how they invent reality and then react to what they imagined. The making up a guy to get mad at model of journalism. Also, this person quoted is literally just a collector of marketable slop? Why would I care what they think?
