Sono un americano e sono generalmente piuttosto progressivo, ma penso che questo sia il genere di cose che strofina tutti nel modo sbagliato. Sono curioso di sapere se la prospettiva finlandese più ampia.

I feel like whoever decided to remove him is an absolute idiot and is doing more harm than good by stereotyping Stinky. That person is the only one being racist here, they are just masking it behind their virtual signaling
I don’t understand why people have to get upset about a cartoon character. It’s like they don’t have anything else to do. Upsettism is the new cool!
Sigh.
Well, I guess we need to be mindful of sea urchin’s feelings.
Jesus Americans are hypersensitive about race, imagining racism everywhere.
“A nonhuman fantasy creature covered in fur who smells and mischievously breaks the law all the time trying to hustle for profit? It’s obviously an allegory about *nonwhite minorities*” – says a lot about the person getting offended imo
American hysteria
Having read the original Muumi stories, I am dissapointed by this reaction.
We’re talking about an artist drawing children’s story characters in a place, and at a time, where the colour black simply did not refer to the colour of a person’s skin. The connotation of the colour black was related with darkness, the night, definitely not anyone’s skin colour.
Simple as that.
Which race are they claiming Stinky is racist against? Romani? This sounds absurd.
Stinky is an awful being. This time it got to it.
Next you know, they will remove The Groke because it has a disproportionate big nose and it must be a racist representation of jewish people.
