I just finished watching the episode about the hair dresser gone missing.

This is only true in the US, Russia and Europe. There will probably never be a time when you can have a toothbrush mustache or wear a Swastika in the US Russia or Europe without evoking pain, but there are another 6.5 billion people who don’t have the same association.

Facebook in particular. 

The internet was a mistake. 

You put your finger on it - the problem isnt a swastika in Asia somewhere, the problem is a swastika on an item offered for sale in the parts of the world where it is a very potent symbol of racism and slaughter.

Oh, I didn’t know they were chinese, that explains a lot.

Look, if you’re going to stroll in here with a more nuanced understanding of these issues...well...I just don’t know what this place is coming to.

A company like Shein will do no due diligence whatsoever. They don’t care. 

Makes sense and I fully admit to being a woefully uninformed American on Asian culture. Still, wouldn’t it behoove a company to do a little more homework? Or not and just take the heat, I guess.

Listen. If you fill a nice, clean kiddie pool with cool, clear water, knowing that one of your kids is eventually going to ingest some of that water while they’re playing, and then that kid takes a fucking shit in the pool, guess what. The water is ruined. You can’t just be like, “Hey, now! It’s only the poop that’s…

If you put the necklace on backwards the points will face the other way turning it from a “good swastika” to a “bad swastika", but okay Shein... It's almost like fast fashion is bad or??

Proper orientation and direction of rotation isn’t a defence. It’s a pendant. It’s gonna flip, it’s gonna occasionally be at an angle. There is no way to make this pendant so that it’s not a nazi symbol approximately 33% of the time.

“But we’re selling the good swastika!”

Imagine if your best defense is that it’s slightly different than a Nazi swastika.

spoiler alert

Sounds like this is for you

It’s their next level of irony: Hating anything people liked.

I always think of this one when I walk through a spider’s web:

I claim the Far Side in the name of gen x.  Most people of the boomer generation never did get it.

Thanks to Gary Larson, I will forever write CAT FUD on my shopping lists...
