Something that's been bugging me for a while now.

I adore all the ask-blogs on tumblr. I think they're amazing and fun and I enjoy the shit out of them.

I wish I could enjoy the TFP Ratchet one, but I can't.

Cut for my reasons why. Warnings for Racism )

THIS. Thank you. The whole "it's the shoop-de-whoop" face is the dumbest argument to me. Yes, let's ignore an extremely long and illustrious history of depicting black people in this exact way as a means of making them animalistic, simplistic, and monstrous in favor of shrugging it off as an internet meme which has nothing to do with the comic. Yup. This makes perfect sense.

....uggggh, I haven't been on my tumblr dash in ages, but just went over there to unfollow that. That is all sorts of not okay.

Oh wow, that's gross. What the hell kind of person thinks caricatures like that are okay.

.....holy shit. I totally didn't notice that somehow when it hit my dash. Then again, I tend to skim stuff really quickly- especially since Tumblr moves at the speed of a thousand race cars and I only check it once every weekday.

.....but holy shit. That's just.... undeniable, really. The fact that they couldn't own up to you or try to say they'd made some kind of horrendously bad mistake makes it even worse.
