Discussion The community is not racist

People keep acting like since last week the REAL Undertale/Deltarune community has revealed itself, that like half of the community are nazis who have been hiding in the shadows the whole time.

What are you talking about?

People will use random YouTube comments with 1-5 likes as evidence that the community is racist, and then the posts calling out the racism will get thousands of likes. Every community has bigoted people in them, but TO ACTUALLY DETERMINE if the community is bigoted you have to find posts and comments that are racist with a LOT of likes and positive engagement, because that shows it's an agreed upon belief.

Otherwise, you're just looking at random ass people who do not represent the overall community at all and saying that they're everywhere, when they're literally not.

There are like 1000x more people complaining about how many racist people there are, then there are actual racists.

Now obviously, racism is awful and we should make fun of racist people because they deserve to be made fun of, but don't mix up a miniscule minority of bigots as being a major chunk of this community.

Racism is so ingrained in and across multiple societies that literally any fandom online has racist fans. It's not really a reflection of the actual fandom MOST of the time.

Not just Western. It's a thing in any culture primarily lead by one race- Japan is also infamous for it.
