    Christ, what a stretch. It’s obviously a play on the tech Mogul definition.

      Not a bigger stretch then with the Ty Coon, that was obviously a play on the Tycoon.

      It was not me who started to read bad things into word play, but by that rules is Moe Ghoul offensive too.

        Sure, because the persecution of black people in the US is at all equivalent to the bullying of anime nerds, right.

        The problem is not that thin-skinned people could do mental gymnastics to find reasons to be upset, it’s that ‘coon’ is straight up a racial slur that was historically a major tool of oppression.
