Not really. It wasn’t really a possibility until you came along. I’m just going to do something more productive with my time than talking to you. It’ll be good for me, mentally.

Well, you’re much more present here than the racism.

You didn’t attack racism. You attacked people because there was racism nearby. Anyone who asked for an explanation was then called racist. You attacked people personally.

See, this is why I condemn you.

They jumped in to defend themselves. That’s what happens when you attack them. If you attack the thing and not the people, they don’t get so defensive.

The comparisons were first made in China, actually. The only reason we even know about the comparison is because he got so offended by them, and we keep doing it because he’s upset by it. It’s more about shape than colour, especially since Xi Jinping tends to wear trousers.

I condemn you, actually. Yes, the picture is poorly thought out and needs revision, even though it was designed for reasons other than racism. That’s what you should have said. But you didn’t want to fix the picture, you wanted to condemn everyone on this site for not condemning the picture.

It’s not obvious! You posted a picture of a dictator with accidental racist undertones, called it deeply racist, and condemned anyone who didn’t agree with your perspective as racist, despite not actually giving your perspective! To most of us, we see “dictator” before we see “asian guy”. You’re not attacking the picture, you’re attacking the people on the same server as the picture. You being so quick to condemn makes it look like you’re defending a dictator more than amending injustice, and being so hesitant to explain your reasoning makes you look like a troll more than an activist.

You’re a terrible representative of your own argument.

Alright, I can see that. Not deliberate, as they also tinted his suit red to heighten the comparison to Winnie the Pooh, who also has a yellow face, but I can see your perspective now you’ve actually given it. Deeply racist is absolutely a stretch, though, but “kinda racist” is absolutely correct.

What racism? You have yet to explain what’s racist about this picture. I am willing to accept that I’m wrong and I’m just not seeing it from the right perspective, but you have to be willing to explain why rather than just condemn.

I’m okay with it because it’s not racist. What is there in this picture to not be okay with?

Sorry, I’m not quite sure how a picture mocking a specific person for something other than race is racist, let alone deeply so.

I’m going to assume that you started using Lemmy after you heard about Lemmy. Other people are probably the same, but have not yet heard about Lemmy. Let’s let them hear.

Most people haven’t even heard of Lemmy, even if they want something to replace Reddit. You’re only here because you had the good fortune to learn about Lemmy already. Let’s give others that fortune as well.
