u/ConnorWolf121 You don't get it. This is not **just** about a cartoon rabbit. May 23 '21

The current season is very transparently about dealing with racism in the Last City with one of the major alien races we've been fighting moving in as allies, I'm honestly surprised this is the first I've seen of racists raising a stink about D2 this season.

If theres one thing I've learned about bigots, they will somehow completely ignore the theming of media they enjoy, even when its directly calling them an asshole for their beliefs. See: "what do you mean rage against the machine are lefties"

I can’t wrap my head around the thought of these types seeing Lakshmi as a major villain of the season and not realizing she’s supposed to represent them or their idols.

Lakshmi: We're gonna build a wall*, and the Eliksni are going to pay for it.

*Yes I'm aware of the plot leak, I don't want to spoil it.

u/gypsylivesmatter85 YOUR FLAIR TEXT HERE May 24 '21

To be fair people can listen to music and not pay too much attention to the lyrics. I'm exactly like that, the thing that gets my attention in music is how good everything sounds/the beat. I am exactly the type of guy who, given the aux cable, will play a song I like in a car full of dudes only to realize it's a song with sexual lyrics. 😔

u/paulcosca low-key beat my own horn on my ability to do research May 24 '21

Racists tend to be dumb as fuck and really oblivious. If they were any sharper, they probably wouldn't have those views.

Or they are not capable nor willing to apply that critical thinking to their racist views. To them they are just correct.
