Racist Hats
The fez, mariachi, and sombrero hats were all really offensive but I didn't say anything until I unlocked the rasta hat. I am very dissapointed that Psyonix has chosen to continue making culturally appropriative hats. I demand that Psyonix remove all of the aformentioned hats and stop designing culturally appropriative hats.

lol, so because something is specific to a certain culture (Fez Hats, Sombreros, Bud light), it automatically makes it racist? No. You're a moron.

Now, if they were to make a monkey hat and call it the "African American" hat, or a white hood and call it the "Caucasian hat, THAT would be racist.

Simply having something specific to a certain culture is not racist unless its specifically meant to demean or exclude that race. From the dictionary: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Look at this fool falling for such easy bait

“Taking intellectual property, traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, or artifacts from someone else's culture without permission. This can include unauthorized use of another culture's dance, dress, music, language, folklore, cuisine, traditional medicine, religious symbols, etc. It's most likely to be harmful when the source community is a minority group that has been oppressed or exploited in other ways or when the object of appropriation is particularly sensitive, e.g. sacred objects.”

Lmao, this has to be one of the dumbest post ever in history of internet.
I hope this is a joke. But here is what i have to say if it isnt a joke: Have people really come to the point that hats are offensive. People need to learn to to suck things up. I get made fun of all the time and i dont let it bother me so grow a pair and suck it up.

Ok, so, A: obviously only 15, B: obviously from tumblr and not actually a gamer, C: Spain, Mexico, Jamaica, and India are the biggest coutries for soccor, which is what this game is a reference of.

Now, if you want to take that drill out of your vagooner and stop being an SJW for the masses and driving everyone else insane, that would be great.

Please remove all antennas with a face. They hurt my religious feelings, because they are caricatures of human faces and such mocking the Creator!
