    You have the right to be offended by absolutely anything. I know you feel like you’re being ganged up on right now, and I don’t mean to contribute to that. To be clear, I am one commentor, I have not called you stupid or wrong, I know absolutely nothing about the OP of this meme, and I am not defending them as a person. I’m not even defending the original post because I understand your argument about the greater harm it can cause.

    I am only asking about the “dark mode” meme because you are using it repeatedly as an example of this person holding racist views, and it’s ok if you find it offensive, but if you’re asking other people to make decisions about whether to listen to or ignore this person, I don’t find this evidence persuasive.

    Your feelings are valid. And in a scenario where someone is speaking/relating with you personally, they should avoid using material that bothers you. It is not valid to expect a crowd of strangers to only use material that doesn’t bother you.
