Oh my trouble in the radical liberal commune.

Sometimes you can't make this stuff up.

[ansel12]

Won’t this result in a years worth of media stories about censorship? Perhaps not.

[BitWielder1]

Which Race?

[escapefromboston]

I doubt any Moomin fans would have been offended

[SkyDancer]

So, “people of color” are all fuzzy and appear as a fuzzy ball? With feet?

[tumblindice]

“queer artist”
Her art isn’t that queer.

[clutzyfuzzy]

Litterally me after a long weekend playing video games, not showering or shaving. I’m whiter than sour cream

[lee martell]

Just say the he’s a Sea Urchin.

[left that other site]

Well...

He Does Remind Me of This Guy.

[alternatives?]

They have to be in all the advertisements but can’t be in any artwork?

[Lizavetta]

after a donor found the character potentially racist.

If I, a donor, found something anti white something tells me not a single thing would be changed. All this bullshit goes only one way.

[Scrambler Bob]

Well, my darn HB pencil and Sharpie make black strokes as I draw.

I better just make transparant strokes on paper from now on.

So, “people of color” are all fuzzy and appear as a fuzzy ball? With feet?

And insect/alien like antennae.

[null and void]

Full body dreds?

[Veto!]

Political correctness went over the edge years ago.
Now it’s offensive for a black character to be black?
THAT offends me.

[Allegra]

Another exciting episode of “As the Snowflake Melts.”

[popdonnelly]

Moomin is a brother?

[SkyDancer]

Next up they’ll ban the black 8 ball in pool.

[Organic Panic]

“potentially racist”

Was the complainant white, fat, with a nose ring, with purple hair, with thick black ‘smart girl’ glasses?

[Chewbarkah]

Now the usual suspects will attack the exhibition for lack of diversity. Why aren’t there any black moomins?...
