@olmitch probably real too. I remember an animal crossing pattern sharing group which the admin had a meltdown because no "PoC" wanted to join the moderation team
-
@coolboymew @olmitch Yeah I had a quick websearch of the text in that screenshot and didn't find a source, but I found articles upon articles going as far back as 2017 full of insane hand-wringing and idiotic trolley-problems all related to skin-color emoji

@pingviini @olmitch It's a facebook group moderation, you can't find this anywhere if it was shared randomly around the web
-
@coolboymew @pingviini @olmitch if you've been in a discord group you would know it's likely real
-
@PurpCat @pingviini @coolboymew yeah no I was on a thriving discord group that died off after they banned an emoki of a doge with a fu man chu mustache for racism. One of the admins had a poll if it should come back. A shit ton of butthurt people left at that point, and then a bunch of based people like me got tired of that shit and left too. All that remained were "highdears" aka people who speak English as a second language and just say hi dear and ask stupid questions.
Amazing lack of highdears on the fedi

@olmitch @PurpCat @pingviini
>highdears
lmao what?
-
I spelled it wrong. Highdeers is the meme
-
@olmitch @PurpCat @pingviini I've never ever heard of that
-
It was a "local" meme.
-
@coolboymew @olmitch I stand by the fact that it's always a bit more retarded than what you dare believe. That's also what makes explaining some things very difficult.
"It can't be that retarded, can it? Surely you jest!"

@PurpCat I'm Greek, my skin colour changes rather dramatically depending on my sub exposure. In the summer when I work on the docks I have had people speak to me in Arabic thinking I'm Arab but when I'm not out in the sun as much they speak Greek or German to me. @pingviini @coolboymew @olmitch

@moth_ball I dunno, I've learned one thing from working with people, never underestimate people's ability to be retarded. @coolboymew @olmitch

@drunkenpriapus @PurpCat @coolboymew @olmitch I can't wait for racism to go back to being an affliction of the truly dimwitted and borderline insane instead of being this recreational online activity (mostly for Americans) with a whole marketplace attached to it that makes half the world try and make a quick buck or at least some notoriety off of it and shitting up everything in the process.

@pingviini @drunkenpriapus @coolboymew @olmitch the last job I worked at was diverse and multicultural.
There was an extreme level of racist bathroom graffiti I'm talking every fucking day you'd see "Muslim smelly" or "fuck Mexicans" written on there.
