I have already reported the Frog as a unicorn. But let's go ahead and discuss the issue, just to be clear.
I'm comfortable with the use of the "Angry Asian" meme. NCSoft has in fact misbehaved, and they are in fact Asian. We are not saying with this image that all Asains are good, bad, angry, or anything. The character is clearly labeled "NCSoft," and that is who we are angry with.
The precursor image used the singer Psy, who has become the "face of Korea" in pop culture's eyes. Vy here has wisely changed that to this generic Asian, who may be Korean, Chinese, Japanese, whatever. We have also at Lily's promptings changed "Korean" to "foreign."
The use of the American Flag in the background is less inflamatory than my previous use of a burning flag. It is appropriate for the Colbert show, which satirizes racism and jingoism.
(And lest I be accused of crazy-American nationalism in these claims, I remind everyone that Superman, the primal superhero, was created by Jewish immigrants and a Canadian. The American Way is to accept the contributions of all who choose to live here, equally and without discrimination.)
Is our use of imagery and words inflamatory? Yes indeed! Is it aimed against Koreans or Asians per se? No. Is it aimed squarely at NCSoft? Yes.
However, I do invite -- reasonable -- dissenting opinions.
