      Have you seen the actual images that are posted on 4chan, rather than the curated content posted to news sites? The shit they’re making is hilarious.

      In this one instance yes? It’s actually good it happened this early in the techs life and in such a obvious way.

      It means it can be addressed and is a focus problem to be solved.

      It’s a lot better then subtle racism that has a agenda attached to it.

      This is just blanket internet fuckery with little to no reason behind it beyond haha we make racism cause is funny. Better this then the alternative.

        There are far-right Discord servers where they praise mass shooters that target minorities.

        The most popular topic of discussion is “how to make more people more racist” and the most common suggestion is “memes”, since they appeal to kids and are what started most of them down their path of dogshit.

        It’s not a joke.

          This very much is a joke compared to that. This is a mass flooding and is actually more helpful to preventing further abuse. Unlike a controlled and curated slow release of tailor made messages.

          Don’t let your out rage boner ruin your ability to actually see the world around you. You do your own cause no favors if you are nothing but a zelot.

            Or I can tell the difference between “making jokes” and “pushing far-right propaganda using jokes”.

      I’m glad the internet hasn’t fallen so far that I can’t laugh at a company getting trolled.

          Anyone who enjoys pretending to be racist is just a closeted racist.

          Like those guys that’re always “pretending” to be gay for laughs. “Watch me grab this guy’s butt, it’ll be so funny!” No, you just want an excuse to grab another guy’s butt. At least own it; you’re gay.
