A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Absolutely. There is only a single depiction of Homer and I agree that unless you specifically ask for a race bent Homer it shouldn't do this. I was just pointing out that you can't draw the line at "identifiable character" because clearly that's also a problem. Maybe there is a better place to draw the line, or maybe it's going to be problematic regardless of where is drawn, including not doing anything at all.
I would say if you can't do it right just do nothing at all, except as a white guy in a white biased world, that's self-serving. I'm not the right person to say it's fine to just let it be.
