Well that's your problem right there! Twitter.

Sankaku has an article about it. It's just dumb lefty toxicity like you would see from Overwatch.
Given that most people other than the right leaning knows what you're talking about, I'm going to say I can explain what's wrong with it.
You're taking the Fringes of the Twitter and applying it to the world entire.
There's 145 million active Twitter users. I'm not one of them, and I had no idea what you're talking about until I had to look it up. And still, my world isn't moved.
A huge controversy is how people handled BLM, Charlottesville, The election, even that Dress/Laurel or Yanny had more to do with the cultural zeitgeist than this will ever dare dream of.
This is a non-story that some people have an opinion on. Shake your head, let it flow off of your back, and steel yourself for actual things in the world.
Let the fringes be the fringes.
Sidebar, until I looked it up, I thought this was an actual question about what's wrong with the picture. And I thought the crazy lady bought dog food for a stuffed dog was the actual answer.
A lot of the crucial tweets were hidden.
Here's the context:
Seriously. It seems to me that the only purpose of Twitter is to find things to get mad over. I literally just use it to find out if they have added more content to my favorite game (Wreckfest), and that's it. It's so nice to not worry about all of these stupid, ridiculous non-troversies like this shit, or Baby Yoda eating Frog Lady's eggs, or boob armor or whatever the fuck people on the internet are complaining about this week. Stop following social media, and all these issues disappear, almost like they weren't worth worrying about in the first place.
It's like a circus, a human zoo. It's fun to watch, as long as you're behind the safety rail.
The reason I made this topic on this is specifically because I find the controversy inane and pointless. There's dozens and dozens of what one would consider more "worthwhile" topics I see in articles or Twitter regularly that I could make threads about here but I'm not interested in discussing those things on this forum right now due to health concerns related to stress. If one wants to extrapolate this into some wider political meaning then I guess the best would be that people are so high strung all around that even something like this can cause a kerfuffle.
True, but I got tired of the circus after over five years of working the customer/service industry.
No but a quick rundown of my previous employment (side note, a few of these positions I held at the same time): a dollar store stocker, an Arby's in the methier/old snow bird portion of town, a deli counter in an organic grocery chain, the late/overnight drive-through/counter of a Jack in the Box, a U-Haul/propane center, a Walmart produce clerk, and the evening/morning counter person at a gas station convenience store . Pretty much the entire spectrum of stupid questions, strung out/drunk customers, insane things going on, and obnoxious management (and yes, even the occasional Karen). Even now, my job entails working on cars owned mostly by old people who don't seem to understand half the things their cars do, either because genuine "old people, amirite?" or salespeople not adequately explaining what the car can do to the customers (because they themselves are also old).
Arguably, there's a lot less stress distracting oneself by raging about things that don't really matter than raging about things that do.

I'm going to blame this on Star Wars fans.
"They don't look like Leia's hair buns so they can't be space buns"
Star Wars fans are basically just the worst after all.

I'm not mad over this actually. I'm not sure how to make that come across to people though.
Oh I heard about this!
So, apparently this hair style is not good if white people have it, because their hair doesn't naturally curl like that, and curling your hair to make it look how you like is racist if you like it to be like how some other people's hair is normally, and those said people have been socially trod upon and not celebrated for their hair being how you like yours to be.
And as a consequence, this also applies to videogames too, since for centuries there has been oppression of black videogame characters in all videogame lore, ever, and as a consequence of this primordial sin engraved in the lore of the universe out of which every game stems, it is ALSO racist to have this hairstyle in a game too if you're white, for the above reason.
Now, me, personally, I love stuff like how One Piece gave Luffy an afro and it literally made him into a stronger version of himself through instilling him with boxing confidence, but I guess Luffy is too asian and his family name is Monkey, so that is definitely racist too.

Need more memes/emojis, though understand that I am an old, out-of-touch 26 year old.
You think it's inane and pointless and not "worthwhile" so you decided to spread it and try to draw us into the pointless controversy too? Ok.
