This white artist with a 23k+ following drew a Black boy with a noose. And tagged it Blacktober. And thinks they can back step. I'm literally foaming at the mouth
You don't even deserve to be called a clown.
How fucking date you.
To anyone trying to pass this off as a "missed connection"-

I'm begging you.
Do not.
Please do not.
That's not the point.
This artist deleted it after initial backlash.
Reposted it.
And then deleted it again, calling it an inconvenience.
Triggering Black people with lynching imagery is not an inconvenience. It's foul.
Drawing a Black boy with an emotionless expression wearing a noose is foul.
Drawing a Black version of a white character who h*ngs himself multiple times in the move for laughs is foul.
There is absolutely no excuse for this.
There is no apology that can amend this.
Black people have been historically lynched. They've been lynched by hanging just this year and media passed it off as s*icide because ""no evidence"".
An a number of them, most of them, have all been dark skinned like the boy in this image.

Do not call this a missed connection. Please. That's babying the issue.
It is common sense. COMMON sense. To not draw Black people with nooses.

Do not try to reason this down into a missed connection. The man drew a Black Boy. Dead Expression. With a Noose. And posted it twice before deleting it and taking his ""leave."" I need you all to see that.
And I just remembered when confronted? This man played victim.
Victim.
He thought non-Black people should participate in Blacktober to help "normalize" it. When that's not the point of the event. At all.
We can't even have fun without white people making it about them.
AND PUGSLEY FUCKING PRETENDS TO H*NG HIMSELF IN THE MOVIE LIKE-

NO BLACK PERSON WOULD EVEN DRAW THIS
