in which a wigglytuff questions the reasons behind something being in poor taste, not doubting that it's in poor taste however
wait hold on i thought "drank the kool-aid" is in poor taste because it's referencing the Heaven's Gate cult and their ritual mass suicide via poisoned beverages, how is it racist

@wigglytuffitout ...my guess is that people don't know about the mass suicide and racistly think that a cheap beverage must be about Black People and thus is racist

@InspectorCaracal there is definitely a koolaid racist thing going on as well so i don't know if they've intersected now or not? it could very well be racist as well somehow i don't know yet

@wigglytuffitout all I know is that I'm having flashbacks to people saying that Honey Boo-Boo was racist for appropriating The Way Black People Speak for humor

@wigglytuffitout (if there's another koolaid thing that's actually racist then I'm not sure if I want to know it tbh >.<)

@InspectorCaracal i think it's more in the constellation of "stereotypical black drinks", eventually on up to "purple drank" - a bit of the 'fried chicken and watermelon' vein of thing?
i'll be honest i'm not sure of the exact particulars but this is mostly because i'm really blithely stupid about stereotypes at the best of times
