    no reason to assume or extrapolate in order to ask if you understand correctly

    Sure, but I’m not asking if I understand your conclusion correctly, that’s very clear that you find Bugs Bunny problematic. I’m asking what your reasoning is to connect some racist episodes to the whole character / cartoon being a problem, yet you refuse to give it, so I have to resort to guessing and asking you if I’m correct. You can attack me all you want for trying to figure out what your reasoning is but it really comes off poorly when you are the one who is hiding the reasoning and then accusing anyone who is trying to figure it out of fabricating things. That’s exactly why I asked if I understood correctly very directly like so:

    When you reply to them saying they aren’t sure how you could take this frame as racist by responding with “yes you are”, are you not saying that “you know how this frame is racist” and therefore stating that you believe this frame is racist?

    Yet you gave no response.

    extra steps so that you can repeat your false assumptions and extrapolations

    Again, you call my attempts to clarify your position “false accusations and extrapolations”, yet never actually set the record straight.

    you are repeating a false accusation so that your false questions look valid

    Is asking you how “if you recognize that some episodes are racist that this makes this frame also racist” is making a false accusation and not asking a genuine question for further explanation, then I don’t know what to tell you my guy.

    my reasoning is very clearly laid out in the above comments

    All I’ve gathered so far is that you believe that because some Bugs Bunny episodes are racist, it should not be used anywhere. I have been attempting over the course of this entire discussion to get you to clarify anything deeper than that, such as how you draw the connection between some episodes being racist and the entire character being inappropriate for any use, but every attempt I have made to get you to add more details behind your thought process has been basically met with “you should already understand my position” and every attempt to propose a plausible reasoning for you to either agree or correct me on has been met with “you are maliciously assuming my position which I will not clarify beyond my initial position of Bugs Bunny being racist and this use being problematic”.

    if there is something you genuinely don’t understand directly from my comments, you can directly ask about those comments you don’t understand without any assumptions or fabrications

    That is exactly what I have been doing. Are you genuinely saying that these statements appear to you to be malicious assumptions and fabrications and not attempts to directly ask you about things I don’t understand? You have not responded to a single one with an actual clarification aside from accusing me of making false accusations without actually setting me correct.

    If you do not believe this specific frame is racist but it’s solely the problematic episodes that make this use problematic, you can just say so

    It sounds like I initially misunderstood you to be saying that you believed this specific image was racist

    are you not saying that “you know how this frame is racist” and therefore stating that you believe this frame is racist?

    If you didn’t mean that when the other commenter interpreted you as saying that, then you missed your opportunity to make yourself clear

    So your only complaint is that bugs bunny as a whole is racist and that makes the meme racist?

    you really gave the impression that you thought something contained in the image was racist

    I’ll try this again

    stop making up things I didn’t say, … and then ask a question

    My question for you is: is your complaint that the existence of some racist Bugs Bunny episodes makes any usage of the Bugs Bunny character problematic? I am not assuming or fabricating this, I am asking you if this is the correct interpretation of your complaints. If you can’t give a straight answer then there is no way I can provide a response.

    “…trying to be charitable…”

    no you are not

    This is pretty uncharitable tbh.

      “I’m asking what your reasoning is beyond there being some racist episodes”

      no you are not.

      “so I have to resort to guessing”

      no you don’t, you can always ask directly rather than attempting to mislead the conversation and my reasoning first.

      “hiding the reasoning”

      my reasoning is very explicit, specific and publicly available above.

      you want to pretend it is not, that’s your problem.

      “the record straight.”

      my reasoning is very explicit, specific and publicly available above.

      your reading comprehension and fear of asking direct questions is your problem.

      “me of making false accusations without actually setting me correct.”

      this is the proper way to deal with leading questions based on fabrications.

      if you want to ask a serious, direct question, try it without fabricating beforehand and then asking leading questions.

      dare ya.

        “I’m asking what your reasoning is beyond there being some racist episodes,”

        no you are not.

        This is literally a false accusation and a misinterpretation of my comment, literally what you are accusing me of. Plus, I literally asked you exactly what your reasoning is:

        Is your complaint that the existence of some racist Bugs Bunny episodes makes any usage of the Bugs Bunny character problematic?

        you can always be brave and ask directly

        Bro, is this not direct enough for you?

        I have been attempting over the course of this entire discussion to get you to clarify anything deeper than that, such as how you draw the connection between some episodes being racist and the entire character being inappropriate for any use

        Again you are dodging answering by throwing accusations instead of doing the charitable thing and just clarifying yourself.

        my reasoning is very explicit, specific and publicly available above

        Let me try to find your reasoning. Literally the last comment you made that has any substance was 6 comments ago:

        the racism and subsequent cultural insensitivity is explained very clearly

        bugs Bunny cartoons are historically, factually racist

        it sounds like you do understand that cartoon is racist

        that super racist cartoon

        So I see:

        1. Bugs bunny is racist and insensitive because some of the episodes are racist
        2. Therefore we should not use it

        I have re-read every comment you have made, including the 6 prior ones that provide no additional substance, and I see no mention of what your threshold is for determining that the entire character or cartoon is racist or how you reason that some episodes taints the entire franchise.

        your reading comprehension and fear of asking direct questions is your problem

        Do I really need to re-include again the list of very direct questions I’ve asked so far which you have been dodging?

        this is the proper way to deal with leading questions based on false fabrications

        I think your first mistake is assuming that a question is an accusation. Have you never heard of re-stating someone else’s opinion to ask if you understand it? You have some serious persecution complex if simply asking if your view is xyz based on my best attempt to read and understand your comments is viewed as an attack.

        if you want to ask a serious, direct question, try it

        Again, you completely ignored the serious and direct question I just asked:

        is your complaint that the existence of some racist Bugs Bunny episodes makes any usage of the Bugs Bunny character problematic?

        In case you need some reading comprehension help, this is what a question looks like.

          “is this not direct enough”

          disclaiming a question with 20 paragraphs of fabrication and misattribution is not “direct enough”, no.

          “Let me try to find your reasoning.”

          sure, why not keep guessing instead of asking directly?

          working out well for you so far.

          “So I see…”

          you assume.

          “if simply asking if your view is xyz”

          you should try this!

          maybe without all the misleading disclaimers.

          good luck.

              took you nine comments to get there, not three, but good work.

              “is your complaint…”

              nope, but that doesnt help.

                Hmm well your lack of any substantive answer leaves me no option but to guess again - it’s definitely your imperative if you want to be intentionally obtuse though. You shouldn’t be surprised when people don’t receive you well.

                If the racist bugs bunny episodes isn’t what makes Bugs Bunny as a whole problematic to use in a meme, then what is the reason in the first place to complain that Bugs Bunny is racist and shouldn’t be used? Again I go back to the fact that the only things you have mentioned is the fact that it’s racist and that it shouldn’t be used. I’m still looking for an answer to how exactly the two are connected, if you’d be so kind to enlighten me :)

                  “no option but to guess again”

                  you are incorrect again, you should just try asking.

                  you got your first answer last time by asking a direct question.

                  “shouldn’t be surprised”

                  I’m definitely not surprised.

                  “I go back to the fact that the only things you have mentioned is the fact that it’s racist and that it shouldn’t be used”

                  not a fact, although not using a racist cartoon in favor of a not racist cartoon is certainly good reasoning.

                  the full reasoning is explained above I think twice although I’m going check because it would be really - nope all the comments are still up there; for some reason you’re pretending not to see them.

                    you should just try asking

                    Do you not have eyes?

                    you got your first answer last time by asking a direct question

                    I asked that exact question 3 times, and it’s structurally identical to every other time I asked “so is xyz the problem that you have with using this cartoon?”, so either you just forgot to have a stick up your ass about how people ask questions or you’re just being difficult.

                    for some reason you’re pretending not to see them.

                    I literally quoted every time you said something about your thoughts on this issue, but you already handwaved that away with:

                    sure, why not keep guessing instead of asking directly

                    What do you want me to do? Look at your previous messages? I did and you accused me of guessing.

                    Please, let me know whether I’ve missed a relevant comment that you made that clarifies this:

                    the racism and subsequent cultural insensitivity is explained very clearly
                    
                    bugs Bunny cartoons are historically, factually racist
                    
                    it sounds like you do understand that cartoon is racist
                    
                    that super racist cartoon
