Why do they consider racism, orientalism and lies disputed long ago “valid criticism”. Not even mentioning the lack of humility or a will to learn, just constant snarkiness, smugness and an unrelenting feeling of superiority. Just please, engage with us on equal terms and don’t be dismissive.

Edit: Don’t go into the comments if you value your day…

    Literally saw someone in that Beehaw thread talking about “we’re a safe space for minorities” and shit complaining that they’d posted up a picture of Winnie the Pooh somewhere and got banned for it. They’re literally just western-chauvinist redditors looking for somewhere to piss all over and call theirs.

      Yo as per our survey, more than 60% of our users don’t identify as white, cis het males. Additionally we have users from literally over the world. Waiting to see Beehaw’s survey.

      A lot of the xinnie the pooh edits are racial caricature, ironically enough (skin tone)

          That’s hard to say, since the meme began in China, but the widespread adoption in the US probably was connected to racist appeal
