    There’s clearly a time and place to say fuck Hexbear, but them standing up for minority communities isn’t it.

    You’re of the opinion that people didn’t know and so it’s okay. But it’s not, the second even one person explains, that’s when you say shit my bad. I used to use terms a lot which people deemed offensive and I stopped when I learned better. There’s places in America where they still think it’s normal to use the n-word in reference to black people and that’s never okay and never will be okay. We learn things and move forward.

    Personally, if I have a choice over this issue, I’m standing with the anti-racists rather than the racists who are demanding the right to use a slur.
