The few conversations I’ve had there have been unproductive and inflammatory. While even in other instances when I’ve said something someone disagreed with they would at least support their statement. Also no one would tell me why the “Confused Unga Bunga” meme is racist but they keep accusing me of it. I’m all for open discussions but even the comments there are so angry and toxic.

Edit: I’m reading every comment and taking everything people said and considering all sides. My stance on the phrase has changed but I am still hesitant about giving hexbear a chance. I’ll sleep on it though.

    According to knowyourmeme the dude in the meme is a neanderthal character from a movie.

    “Unga bunga” was originally used in a cartoon in 1950 with a caricature of an Aboriginal Australian, and it’s completely reasonable for someone to not know that. I didn’t until you prompted me to go and research the meme.

    The phrase seems to be nonsense babble - there’s no way to deduce the Aboriginal Australian racism link from the movie image or caption, you have to actually research the backstory.
