Such fonts perpetuate problematic stereotypes
I wish comic sans was problematic and people would stop using it. Although Im sure that would backfire and every based and/or redpilled MAGA moron would start using comic sans all the time to "trigger the libs".

Remember when the left scoffed at the question of packing the courts during the election cycle?
paint me shocked.
you have to elect the president in order to know what his polices/plans are... debates are racist and problematic.

All leftists know that conservative = evil, and evildoers cannot be permitted to have a voice in the Court. So they are righting an injustice.

I spent several hours there also about ten years ago. Or, at least, I believed that I was there at the time.
I don't confuse that with having certain knowledge that France exists in reality.

I am very willing and open to having an honest debate, but I dont expect that to happen here. This thread, along with any other thread in this political sub-section seem to be nothing but grumpy reactions to perceived ideological attacks.
Personally, I do not watch/read CNN because its ****. It is on par with Fox news. That being siad, is CNN running segments all day demanding that a font is made illegal? or did they just say, "this is something to be aware of"?
Coincidentally I was once given an infraction on this board for saying "ching chong bing bong", or something to that effect, regarding low quality eBay car parts. Was my reaction to go into white defense mode and rant about how MTnet was cancelling me?
No.
Because I do not intentionally try to be an *******.
We are all literally the same species. I choose to love everybody as a fellow human, even the people who vehemently hate me, be it because their nation state has programmed them to, or because they are rebelling against a society that favors white males. I refuse to succumb to natural inclination to be defensive every time someone says that their group is victimized by white men, such as myself. I wasn't the one who put them down, and for the most part, they are not mad at me specifically.
One more thought to conclude this.
There are people who seek to profit from destabilizing our country. These groups want to use our extremely liberal freedom of free speech against us and they are not American democrats/BLM/Antifa/marxist/globalists/etc.
The outrage that most of you feel on a daily basis as you read provocative Facebook post is promoted by foreign disinformation campaigns. Its been happening for a century or more, and social media is just the newest, highly potent, attack vector.
