"The audience" was a western social media site blocked in China. Are we truly going to censor ourselves on our own platforms that the offended can't even reach?

I get that the answer is a capitalistic 'yes!', and I don't particularly have any love for the feudal Tibetan llamas but we do need to recognize what is happening here.
- mc32 9y agoI don't think it's that different from H&M having some kid wearing "Cutest Monkey" and not being aware some people might find offense. I call my sisters kids monkeys on occasion, no one thinks it's offensive, but some people will, regardless of intent. There are many other cases equally tone deaf in other countries too. You just gotta be aware that you potentially have a worldwide audience and there could be a group who takes offense and sometimes you have to make a hard decision regardless when two opposing opinions have valid points.
