And then you also stated they were going to rewrite history, which they also said they weren't. So I mean, maybe people just get a lot of likes from saying what people want to hear even if it's not exactly accurate.I mean, I dunno, I try not to judge myself on how many likes I get. Feels weird.Maybe they feel like a person who actively got 40+ likes while saying they were trying to do things they weren't wasn't a good use of their time? Honestly, I think it says a lot more that you felt the need to create an entirely separate thread to talk about it. I've never so incensed about leaving a thread that I had to create a whole new one to oppose it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I don't believe I've actually said that this thread shouldn't exist, so that's wrong. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />But also having this fight in that thread would make it so that the original topic of that thread never gets discussed. The whole point of this thread is to discuss whether or not that thread should exist, which I'm engaging with. I don't think the original post wanted such a weird, tautological discussion as to whether the thread they should started should exist at all, but rather wanted to discuss a different topic that people posted saying "I don't think we should discuss this topic!"I think the idea is to actively confront these old tropes and use Hasbro to educate people on racism with their old product instead of just selling it with a boilerplate warning.</blockquote>
