can you find a poll that says that the majority of native americans are offended by sports names because all the ones I find show they're overwhelmingly indifferent
SeventhSandwich:
Videos like this receive overwhelming dislikes not because refugees are overwhelmingly hated but because people spread these videos around to brigade the voting system. People who hate refugees are super enthusiastic to lay on dislikes and stuffty comments on the video, while people who support refugees aren't really concerned with getting more 'likes' on it.
Basically, dog-piling hate on stuff is way easier to organize and encourage than a show-of-support.

they're not alive though, are they
I'd prefer that business choices weren't dictated by the opinions of random loving dead people
McZealot:
whenever I see 'immediately backfires' I roll my eyes. I don't think butthurt morons on the youtube comments section are their main indicator of success.
jesus, at this point the alt-right should adopt a new gender and join tumbr. they're literally the stereotypical crybabies we associate with the alt-left.

Except the video has more upvotes than downvotes, even when people like you try to rig the system to make it look less popular than it is. You're literally astroturfing here
