    Wait, that’s what the Pooh thing was about this whole time? Embarrassing I didn’t catch on; thought it was just another vapid meme. Not a surprise to find yet another sprouted out of bigotry and took root in people who refuse to think about what they say.

      Yes, that’s legitimately it. Many people who are generally anti-CPC latch onto the Pooh meme without realizing it’s just racism. They see that it’s not generally liked, so they go super hard into it even if it’s just bigotry and nothing else.

      It gets even worse when they pull the “he just looks like that” card. Like, pick a non-yellow bear, at the bare (heh) minimum.
