@Sprocketguys I mostly saw people defending Genndy cause they knew the character designs were based on art made by Africans. I didn’t know some people were actually mad about it.

@feltwelt78 There's always gonna be somebody
I have my doubts it'll stick though, especially after Primal, hard evidence he's 'evolved'

@Qirxm07 One of these days I'm making a dropbox of all my meme clips
I don't wanna hoard, memes should be shared ✊

@Sprocketguys In a righteous world, every single account that posts clips of media that attracts this sort of crowd would have been banned a long time ago. Which is everyone of them, imo.

@B1llyUDITO3 Especially egregious that the Nigerian account posts every clip at 1.25x speed

@Sprocketguys Notice how they are angry at an accurate take on African art and culture but always ignore that they didn't use the word samurai correctly

@Sprocketguys It's so cute that they keep trying to cancel people like they still have that power.

@Sprocketguys I am defending Genndy Tartakovsky for the exact same reason. The only thing he got wrong was the jealous tarbaby becoming Jack's friend instead of stabbing him in the back at the first opportunity while hollering GIBSMEDATS

@Sprocketguys And it's the most respectful possible depiction too. They don't actually care about representation like they say they do

@Sprocketguys They should added to a list to be drowned in a lithium mine if they have those thoughts.

@Sprocketguys Twitteroids think black people are only ever allowed to be the dorky buckbroken but affluent Urkel purse-puppy archetype, and if you ever make them cool or likeable and not "for the message" you're doing A Racism. African culture? That's appropriation mister Tartakovsky.

@Sprocketguys Not so surprisingly, anyone born after 2006 are the ones with these kinds of shitty opinions.
