  • You have abandoned all integrity if you need to lie about something so easily checked as the age of my account.

    Okay, that was an Incredibles reference, but here’s why you’re actually a dense motherfucker. Your source does not disagree with my point in any way.

    Here’s the quote that actually literally explains what happened:

    One of their supporters had thought Stinky could be seen as a racist symbol,” said Roleff Kråkström, CEO of Moomin Characters, the company that manages the rights to Tove Jansson’s beloved Moomin universe.

    Your Bodenheimer quote above is in complete agreement with this. It works either way.

    It’s plain dishonest to pretend someone approached them and said the character is racist. That is just not what happened.

    But at this point you are too emotionally invested in this fight to acknowledge this. So instead you pretend that Herald disagrees with the YLE article, when in reality it at most implies what you think must have happened because you didn’t carefully read the quote.
    Meanwhile you yell something about social security numbers and resort to calling me an “autistically screeching burner account”. Very classy and not at all desperate way to undermine your position I have to say.

    And here’s why I said this is advancing right-wing propaganda:
    Because that’s exactly what this narrative is about “the left” or “woke mobs” going around calling everything racist under the sun and cancelling people left and right. It is an incredibly pervasive and successful avenue of right-wing “culture war” propaganda in recent years.
    I was being fair with you by saying it’s unconscious, even added that I’ve been there myself. I know how good it feels to rhetorically dunk on ignorant fools like that. But… well, everything above.








  • Yeah that’s the part with the ambiguous wording. This is clarified elsewhere in the same article as concerns by a supporter that someone else might see it that way. That’s the part you are stubbornly pretending not to understand.

    Once again. Your beef should be with the people who made this decision.

    But you’re too busy dunking on hypothetical people, probably not noticing how you’re advancing right-wing propaganda in the process. And I get it because I’ve been there myself. But this narrative and mindset is harmful and unproductive.







  • They literally didn’t.

    “One of their supporters had thought Stinky could be seen as a racist symbol”

    This is a hypothetical. Nobody mentioned in the article holds that position. This person did not complain about the character. They raised concerns as a supporter that they thought someone else might complain in the future.

    But everyone here is upset at a hypothetical person filing a hypothetical complaint, rather than the real person that made the decision to remove the character outright, instead of putting in the work to address the supporter’s concern in more constructive ways.
