This twitter screenshot makes me so inexplicably Mad on the Internet, I can't properly articulate it. "It feels like you're talking down to me?" You're the FUCKING BOSS! You're talking down to your subordinates, making them walk on eggshells to please you, while insisting you're a helpless babby who is being harassed and wronged all the time.
That's all this "woke" garbage is - a hyper-efficient method of exploitation, a way for power to conceal itself.
This is textbook example of Inferiority Complex. She suspects (knows?) her underlings sees her as incompetent and gives her no respect, so she has to find "evidence" for it.

For a bunch of "anarchists", they really love attacking people for leaning towards the ""wrong"" direction on the political compass. Not to mention how their view of the police flip-flops depending on who they shoot.
I was debating on making this its own thread seeing as to how much there is, but the scale it's on is pretty small. But boy, when it happens, it's a dog and pony show. So, I figured I'd drop it here. I've been holding onto this "drama" for a while and let me tell you, it's certainly something.
So, as a little bit of an introduction to what I'm about to drop on you, let me give a bit of context. Cookie Run is a series of mobile games which has been brought up on the farms a few times due to its absolutely horrendous fans. The fanbase (or at least the vocal majority of it) is full of rabid SJW's. This is attributed to a couple of things, including the fact that some of the cookies use they/them pronouns (I'm unsure if this is actually the original intention of the developers, as they're Korean and the game goes through translation before hitting the American market) and because it's, er, a "diverse" game (I'll expand upon this in a moment). Either way, the fanbase is nuts, and they're always complaining about the game.
What about this cute, benign gacha game about running cookies possibly do to upset this crowd, especially since there's so much there to pander to them? Well, dear Kiwis, as we all know, it doesn't take much.
Now, Cookie Run has a huge collection of cookies, seeing as to how the series has been kicking since around 2009. Most of them, being cookies, have a darker shade to their color palette. Enter the SJW crowd, claiming that these cookies—which are literal dough—are POC and will attack any artist who draws them a bit lighter, er, "skinned" than they are presented in the game.
Devsisters (the developers of the game) love to support the fanbase by reposting art, but when they do, shit like this happens:
This is Moonlight Cookie. She has yellow "skin."
Now let's have a look at some artwork the official Cookie Run Twitter posted of her.
Pretty! A solid humanized version, if I do say so myself. But let's see what the tweet replies have to say, shall we?
Oh for Christ's sake. Victimhood, victimhood, victimhood. They are cookies.
Luckily, this really wasn't a huge deal, and there are many people who just tell these folks to shut up in this particular instance, but there are so many times this fandom throws a hissy fit over someone drawing a cookie with a lighter "skin" tone. I actually vaguely recall seeing a post about "whitewashing" the cookie cast as far back as 2013, so this isn't a new thing for this fandom. The cancer just spread to Twitter as well, as most Tumblr ideas did.
But oh no, we aren't done. No, no, no. This is just the tip of the iceberg. This fandom has so much more to offer.
It isn't only artists fans go after. They go after the actual developers. A lot.
So, two cookies were introduced concurrently: Milk Cookie and Purple Yam Cookie. I think which is which should be obvious.
Now, these two are essentially meant to represent different classes, like in DnD. Not sure of the exact names, but I know Purple Yam is meant to be a berserker. He often acts in an aggressive manner, always ready to destroy things. Milk Cookie is more reserved and level-headed. They're obviously a "mismatched friends" kind of archetype, but what does the fandom have to say on this?
So... basically, because Milk Cookie is portrayed as impulse control for Purple Yam Cookie, and Purple Yam Cookie is "coded" to be black, it's racist? Yeah, sure.
Much of the drama I've showed up until this point is old news, but allow me to show you all a newer controversy the Cookie Run fandom blew up with.
So, late 2020, Goblin Cookie was released.
He's just a funky little guy! How could anyone possibly take issue with—
Oh for fuck's sake. Okay, the best I can explain this is that apparently, goblins are rooted in antisemitism? I tried to do a bit of research on this and could only find stuff regarding Harry Potter.
Though, this is where the ignorance of these pseudo-woke people really show through, as Goblin Cookie isn't based on the westernized creature we think of. It is in fact based on a Korean myth, and Devsisters is actually based in Korea. I'm unsure if "Goblin Cookie" is his name in the original text, but it wouldn't surprise me if the closest thing translators could get western audiences to associate to this:
I'll take ignorance for 100, please!
But you want something even more recent? Strap in, bucko, because the following happened this month.
So, a couple of years ago, a NPC named Lilac Cookie was introduced.
The fandom absolutely fell in love with him. There has been demand for him to become a playable character ever since his introduction. Devsisters ran a poll at the end of 2020 to see which NPC's would be introduced as playable character, and Lilac was up there. So, as requested, he was added, with some changes to his design.
Oh. Fucking. Boy. *cue Mr. Blue Sky*
Someone actually got kicked from a Discord for saying something positive about Lilac.
Not only that, but even a Cookie Run guide account, meant for giving info about the game, is trigger warning any posts about Lilac.
This is actually insane. These people need to go outside.
I'm sure these are not all the instances of the Cookie Run fandom freaking out about "racism," and there are several other instances of complaints on other topics (shipping, non-binary cookies, etc.), but compiling this shit is making my head hurt. I'll give some miscellaneous sperging before closing the post out.
Darkening the "skin" of a cookie in the official Cookie Run comics because he was "whitewashed":
Not sure what the "erasing identities of nb cookies" is referring to (maybe the pronoun translation stuff I mentioned earlier?) but here's this:
"Redesign" of Milk Cookie:
"Fixing" art fun:
Before I finish, I just want to ask this: If the game is allegedly so "problematic," why on God's green earth do these kids keep playing it? Why do they keep watching the ads and spending their parents' money on it? I've only seen one person in all these posts I've combed through actually drop the game because of the "racism." According to you, Devsisters is being malicious and actively hurting minority groups. Then why are you going to continue to support them?
Maybe it's because, and I'm just spitballing here, your activism is performative, or maybe, just maybe, it's not that big of a deal at all?
Anyway, that's all for now! If I find any more juicy Cookie Run SJW crap for you all, I'll be sure to drop it here. And, trust me, with how they are, I know for sure I'll have something for y'all soon enough.

Those parasites will never be pleased, they want more and more like the whiny little freeloading babies they are. Even when they get their precious "POCs", they'll still tardrage on even the most simplest of designs. Like holy fucking shit these people need the CALM DOWN, it's just fucking walking talking cookies. So what if they're depicted in lighter skin tones, who cares.
If I was operating the Cookie Run Twitter account and saw all of those subhuman SJWs yelling and raging over goblins and berserkers, I'll tell them all to Fuck Off and stop playing the game.

Hmm weird, hard to imagine why there's a culture war going on and why so many white people are flocking towards the alt-right the past decade. These people think Trump is the cause and not the result of all this shit
