You have the right to be offended by absolutely anything. I know you feel like you're being ganged up on right now, and I don't mean to contribute to that. To be clear, I am one commentor, I have not called you stupid or wrong, I know absolutely nothing about the OP of this meme, and I am not defending them as a person. I'm not even defending the original post because I understand your argument about the greater harm it can cause.

I am only asking about the "dark mode" meme because you are using it repeatedly as an example of this person holding racist views, and it's ok if you find it offensive, but if you're asking other people to make decisions about whether to listen to or ignore this person, I don't find this evidence persuasive.

Your feelings are valid. And in a scenario where someone is speaking/relating with you personally, they should avoid using material that bothers you. It is not valid to expect a crowd of strangers to only use material that doesn't bother you.

Monday motivation... what are you going to get sorted this week?

My adhd meds. The healthcare system in the US is notoriously awful, moving from one state to another while using Medicaid completely disrupts continuity of care, I can't get a regular nurse practitioner (doctors are no longer available to anyone, it seems) to prescribe a controlled substance, psychiatry clinics are booked out for months, and everyone I speak to treats me like I'm the asshole for thinking I should get to keep taking the medicine I've been prescribed that has bad withdrawal effects when you just stop.

I discovered an online service: Animo Sano. They practice in a few states, including mine. I got an appointment right away and they said they would call in the prescription as soon as I sent them my blood pressure info. I was able to late on Friday, so hopefully I will find out today that I have a prescription called in, because tomorrow is the last pill I have, and I had to do some creative stretching to make it this far.

I don't understand why you keep posting this one image and calling it ironic racism. It's actively making fun of racists. You couldn't find any other examples (from a confirmed satire writer) to prove your point?
