I don’t understand why you keep posting this one image and calling it ironic racism. It’s actively making fun of racists. You couldn’t find any other examples (from a confirmed satire writer) to prove your point?
I didn’t want to spend much time on his page, and that was enough.
When did the bulk of you decide that if someone says a racist thing offends them you have the right to jump in and tell them their feelings and experiences are invalid? Are you a black or brown Muslim? From the middle east?
Last time I was in college it was very much the opposite, and we were all taught that when someone says a thing is racist and is clearly bothered by it a crowd of people jumping on them and telling them they’re stupid and wrong is pretty much the most fucked up response you could give.
You have the right to be offended by absolutely anything. I know you feel like you’re being ganged up on right now, and I don’t mean to contribute to that. To be clear, I am one commentor, I have not called you stupid or wrong, I know absolutely nothing about the OP of this meme, and I am not defending them as a person. I’m not even defending the original post because I understand your argument about the greater harm it can cause.
I am only asking about the “dark mode” meme because you are using it repeatedly as an example of this person holding racist views, and it’s ok if you find it offensive, but if you’re asking other people to make decisions about whether to listen to or ignore this person, I don’t find this evidence persuasive.
Your feelings are valid. And in a scenario where someone is speaking/relating with you personally, they should avoid using material that bothers you. It is not valid to expect a crowd of strangers to only use material that doesn’t bother you.
