Hello. One of people, who voted for bees. My reason? I don't know a thing about Star Wars.

I was a Bees (Real Life) voter. If I had thought about how much shit Finn got from the fandom literally just for being black I probably would have voted for him instead. That’s not on you and I don’t think you should be an arbiter that decides a match up is so unfair someone should just win.

have fun, OP. have as much fun as you can. you're doing nothing wrong for hosting a silly fun poll and a circumstantial pairing doesn't make you a racist. i'm sorry this is happening to you.

“Have you considered that the people you reblog and agree with are racist?” Bruh, I’m literally poc stfu. This is a silly little tumblr poll and people are taking it way too seriously. You don’t deserve the stress, op.

Didn't you. Already post the matchups several days before? Why are people surprised

Also a lot of the time people vote of who they like more, and not the actual criteria. This is just a silly little poll, I feel like bee voters were probably thinking something like, oh what funny little guys, I like bees more than a character from a movie I haven’t watched, click.

This is a poll where people will vote for Candace Flynn over a character who has been through literal hell and they're arguing that people don't take racism seriously and that they legitimately believe that bees have it worse or something? This is a funny Tumblr poll my guy, chill out lmfao. People vote more for the memes and comedy; it doesn't mean that they don't engage critically with the media or that they don't acknowledge the racism that the character and the actor have gone through. And it 100% does not mean that they actually think bees have it worse or whatever. It's not like you decided that you would pit the bees against the character all because you wanted the character to lose, OP. I'm so sorry they're coming for you, you haven't done anything wrong. Just block them, they're not worth it. Hope you have a great time on your trip.

As a non-white person, I want to know what the hell those people are on lmfao. This is, at the end of the day, not a serious thing, and just because someone votes for the bees doesn't mean they don't acknowledge racism and its impact in our life, nor does it mean that they think racism isn't a serious issue or that it legitimately is not as bad as something bees go through. This is a joke poll, what are those people so pissy about? By that logic, everyone who voted for the bees is a raging racist, and that's ludicrous. If we were going into actual serious territory, we shouldn't be comparing suffering at all. But this is for fun. The characters aren't real and aren't going to be hurt by this. No one in their right mind is going to start acting like racism has stopped and is not as bad as racism or whatever. This is for fun. This isn't serious. Keep doing what you're doing and don't let them ruin it for you.

Guys what is happening??? A. It's a tumblr poll where jesus christ and a disney show character got set up against each other and are now a team. Clearly the height of seriousness. B. Finn won?? C. It's not like they were intentionally paired up, its round 2, this was not the original match up

You keep on responding that you have no control over the tournament, but then say you made these decisions is the thing. Also most racists don't see themselves as racist. Not calling you one, but this is what people are talking about. You can't double down and repeat every racist go to comebacks and expect people to not draw parallels. I'm sure you didn't mean it, but clearly Black people are hurt. The best you could do is acknowledge that it was a mistake and acknowledge why they are hurt and apologize
