    It's always interesting to see how any kind of marginalized minority is instantly branded as rude, offensive and overreacting by uninformed people with no relationship to the topic nor interest in educating themselves. They attached a video to the tweet where they shared this where they said they had contacted SE through the "proper" channels politely in the past and got ignored. They are not standing with pitchforks and torches in front of Yoshi-P's home or anything, they simply ask for people to be respectful. But of course this is way too much to ask, how dare they standing up for themselves in a manner it doesn't cater to priviliged people's comfort.

    All of this would be a non-issue if SE would have done the bare minimum of contacting Saami people before claiming their traditional wear which is far more than just "fashion" to them. So please blame SE for being lazy, not Saami for wanting people not to make money off of their culture.

    So they sent a letter asking for money. Got it. Lol. Love to the contrary where to some people minorities are always oppressed and always correct and vindicated in any action they take. They also weren’t ignored, they got a reply they didn’t share. I wonder why?
