        I did wonder why a tiger would holler rather than roar… Fuck, I hate Anglosphere “culture” sometimes.

        I just learned about this tonight! Mom was telling the story that she had always been taught that original version until the school was like “Actually you can’t say that word. Say tiger instead.” She’s not racist, (at least not intentionally) and seems like she’s trying to be anti-racist too. She just learned that saying as a child and didn’t realize it was a word she shouldn’t say.

          I get it. I was raised in a very queerphobic 80s and 90s, and I said all kinds of casually homo and transphobic things as a kid. I am a trans lesbian today. You have to unlearn the bad lessons you pick up as a kid

    How about this: Let’s not use the Pooh meme because using Pooh Bear to represent a political leader you dislike is an insult to Pooh himself! The racism is obviously really fucking bad, but also let’s not insult an innocent and very sweet teddy bear who just wants his pot of hunny and would give anyone who needs comfort a big ol bear hug, okay?

    Being racist is already unforgivable, but being racist and mistreating an innocent and cuddly creature to do it? The wall is too good for you. I will personally make sure your death is long and painful and it will still be better than you deserve.

    But I do like reusing it from a commie perspective sometimes. A yellow bear in a red shirt is a commie, that’s just funny because so many commie flags are red and yellow. And, like, he’s a friendly bear who’d give you his shirt if you were cold and share his hunny if you had nothing to eat. I think canon Pooh would actually really jive with socialism, y’know? The Soviet Bear thing is cute, but Commie Pooh Bear is even cuter. (Imagine Pooh making friends with a stuffed panda bear. That’d be so dang cute, and we all know Pooh would absolutely make friends with a new stuffed bear he meets. Because Pooh makes friends with everyone.)

        Yeah, my problem’s not with the original image, because that particular picture did resemble that Pooh and Tigger scene a lot, it’s with the way most people in the West ran with Xinnie the Pooh as a pretty freaking racist joke.
