Hey everyone. It has come to our attention that some of the references in this tweet are problematic and insensitive. We're posting here in the thread so that people who have engaged with this tweet will join us in our learning moment. 1/4

If our tweet alienated you, please know that we are deeply sorry, and that we offer our sincerest apologies. If you follow our feed, we often reference popular memes to talk about the ocean. In this case, the memes used had connotations we were unaware of until now. 2/4

In particular, several terms referenced originated from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and specifically reference Black women's bodies. Using them in a sea otter meme without that background makes insinuations we never intended. We need to do better. 3/4

Our mission is to inspire conservation of the ocean, and we're thankful for your support as we try to advance that mission on social media. We're also thankful for those of you out there pointing out our blindspots and how we can improve. Thanks everyone. 4/4

2018 sucks and this apology proves that. So are we eliminating humour from daily life now?

I find your apology problematic and insensitive. Shame that you caved to those who want to control public discourse based solely on people's immutable physical characteristics instead of embracing positives from growing cultural mix including funny memes from myriad subcultures..

Oh please don't. Don't apply human perpetual offense nonsense to nature. This otter doesn't care. Please stop. How many people complained who were significant contributors?

Whoa... Okay... So now black people and organisations run by black people now get to censor white people/organisations by telling they can't use certain normal words because it's segregating and cultural appropriation, even going as far as calling it digital black-facing...
-
These sjw idiots need to get off the internet. I'm sick of these dumbasses seeing flaws in everything but the fact that they are doing the segregation because they think they and "their" people own words
I, as a black person, do NOT want to be associated with these sjw tards
