• It's not got much effect on me TBH, I'm not particularly fucked about the meme either, I can see what it could mean either way and being posted by you means I'm sure it's meant as more of a slight on the royals than anything else, but saying that, it's also the exact kind of thing that would end up out of context posted around the shittier corners of the internet by people who don't think that, or think much at all. Yeah it probably says more about them that they share something unwittingly attacking the royal family when they're just trying to laugh at the colour of an estranged royal baby, but sometimes you should be at least aware that the unintended consequences of you're actions can be taken out of context when posted to a somewhat public place rather than a joke around a table of like minded supper guests over a glass of port.

    For the sake of research, I did a reverse image search and it turns out that this is true, it has been posted on some pretty rank twitter accounts. Like you, I don't get why flag shaggers would be posting something which is most obviously read as calling out racism in the house of Windsor, but then I guess nuanced thinking isn't their thing

    I'm afraid that ship sailed when it was retweeted by an account with over 200k followers. LFGSS might loom large in our thinking, but it's a minnow in the wider view.
