And spawned an even longer shit fit.

Some people just want to be offended and we should simply let them.

Wait, did I read that correctly and they replaced the hat with a snowflake?? Hahahaha

And yes, people often forget that generally offense is taken. When it's intentionally given, it's pretty clear.

I'm from Australia and snowflakes during December is hemispherist and offensive to us down under.

We can replace it with an emu.

No, that brings painful war flashbacks.

Yeah? Well I see your use of kangaroo shapes as elitist and many other -isms. Even the taste of marmite is discriminating! Etc. *spits in the general direction of Australia*

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Marmite is British, Vegemite is Australian.

(Apparently, there's a New Zealand version of Marmite too. Every day is a school day)

Made by the seventh day adventist church, because why not.

As someone from the global south i find the snowflake in winter offensive!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I laughed at that too - they knew what they were doing, right?

Jesus Christ what is wrong with people... Microsoft giving in to a clear troll, surprised they didn't just lock and ignore that shit and move on.

Jesus Christ is not my Lord and saviour. I demand you delete this post immediately and apologise. This is as insulting to me as pineapple on a pizza

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Pineapples are an affront to my deity since they are neither pine nor apples. Please delete your account immediately

Love the fact that this spawned new issues complaining about the debugger icon promoting violence against insects.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What, the gear or the snowflake? I mean I know they are trolling but how do they make a connection to insects with that? That insects die in winter from cold temperatures?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I meant the debugger button, not the settings button. In the issue it showed up as an bug with a line going through it, as if saying "no insects allowed".

Nice. Honestly, pretty well corralled, I would say.

Incidentally, I'm amused that one of the more popular responses includes the classic phrase

"Why can't we all just get along"

Which I tend to notice after having had it explained well to me once by someone with more empathy than my own.

I won't belabor it, but they pointed out to me that being tempted to say "Why can't we all just get along" is usually a sign that we haven't actually listened effectively.

So now when I hear or read "Why can't we all just get along", I see that [X] and hear the buzz from "Family Feud", and hear one of the Family Feud host kindly say "No points. Let's try again."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, that's basically saying "Can't we just ignore the issue?", which is easy if you're the one who the issue isn't affecting.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I think they get high on stuff they get cancelled by getting offended

not supporting the complainer but it is kinda scary how much control western culture has over tech...

there are so many holidays over the world. why christmas but not, say, Songkran or Chinese New Year?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Because the authors celebrate Christmas, but not Songkran or the Chinese New Year.
