Alright. I'll bite.
Why is it so important to you to continue to use caricature mascots that other people would find offensive over something benign like animals?

- kortilla 5y agoThat’s not the question at hand. I’m asking a specific question about who it’s been “problematic” for. > Why is it so important to you to continue to use caricature mascots I don’t give a shit about mascots at all. My complaint is specifically about people who concern troll on behalf of minorities that never asked for it (e.g. the Speedy Gonzales cancellation). Whenever someone tells you something is “problematic” without giving concrete reasoning, they are likely just looking to be outraged and spread righteous indignation.
- techrat 5y agoYou don't think indigenous people who are offended by caricatures of themselves being used as mascots is enough of a 'concrete reason(ing)'? But I did ask you a question. I'll ask it again: Why is it more important to you to maintain racist mascots than it is to use something neutral in its place?
- kortilla 5y ago> Why is it more important to you to maintain racist mascots than it is to use something neutral in its place? Did you have trouble understanding my answer? I don’t give a shit about mascots at all. They can change it to anything they want and I couldn’t care less. My problem is purely with the moral outrage coming from people who are not in the group they are purporting is offended.
