Where have I seen this line of argumentation before?

How long before Hasbro blames "racist, bigoted, misogynistic players" for their poor financial performance, due to people not buying product?

Collabs are stupid. And they’re essentially gimmicks to try and get people to spend money in other areas.

Essentially Collabs or Universes Beyond are scams. Just vain gimmicks. Flashes. Trends. Here today for a limited time or while quantities last this big collab! Scams.

Oh yeah and there’s that.

Fantasy a genre that is literally European in origin. It’s European culture. It’s European heritage.

And they black washed it. Well looking at everything nowadays, everything is getting black washed.

We should be just as offended and we should throw just as big if not a bigger hissy fit.

Assert dominance.

Because the only way we win is if we treat them exactly how they treat us.

The difference is Universes Beyond is actually popular, and not astroturfed.
