Apparently it's not super great? I haven't noticed https://lemmy.ca/post/3532299
Extremely toxic shithole.
Not that I’ve seen.
Nope. There be trolls over there.
Oh yay another one of these threads. They sure are different from each other and provide substantive conversation.
No
Are you not aware that the confused Unga Bunga meme is based on a caricature of an Australian Aborigine, or do you not understand why the caricature is racist?
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.
In what sense is it based on an Australian Aborigine? The movie it's from is explicit that the character is a Neanderthal.
