Completely Jynxed
Over on TPM, a semi-popular Pokémon board, an obvious troll posts about how the FCC should be killed for banning Jynx.
If you weren't aware, Jynx is a creature with wigglin' hips, kissin' lips, and long blonde hair. And formerly black skin, which was changed to purple in later games. See, Jynx was accused of being racist and thus was semi-banned from the cartoon show.
The debate goes on for some time. Is Jynx racist? Is she a ganguro? Is she a Nordic ice princess?
Terms like "People of Recent African Ancestry" are bandied about, one person calls *all* black people "African American"...
By this point, even the OP pops up to say that the thread should be closed!
But that doesn't stop Animelee from denying the term 'race', or Dogasu from UNLEASHING THE MEGACAPS OF DOOM *AND* comparing people who have no problem with Jynx to people who have no problem with slurs.
