The kicker is that reality isn't in line with your, or the author's, pre-concieved notions. While it's just a sample size of under ten people, the cultural identity of frog shitposters I know about is diverse: a Yemeni, an Asian-American, along with a Brazillian and Argentinian of the black persuasion.

With the Brazillian being a "flaming homo" who cross dresses. And posts the images peseudo-anonymously. Imageboard culture is quite the ride.

Yes, you don't have to be a "straight white male" to spend time photoshopping MAGA hats onto japanese anime girls, or ironically calling for "RACE WAR" while "worshipping" an ancient Egyptian god of chaos. Big shocker: you don't need to invoke white privilege to bring trolling and ironic shitposting into the world.

It's actually only a shocker if you 1) don't understand the culture and 2) look at the world through a lens of overt racism yourself.
