Of course, someone could create racist memes via a number of other methods, and they're probably doing this deliberately knowing someone would react to it.

They discuss ethics for a bit, perhaps we should call it morals instead, as they're not demonstrating much here. Then, they seem surprised that large companies have their PR teams say some words to not have their heads bitten off.

The strongest argument here is a copyright argument (I have my own issues with this argument, although I'll hold off on making them in this particular post), however, they fail to demonstrate how these particular instances are problematic, even by this standard.

Is Disney selling their own Mickey holding a knife art? That might be the closest analogue here. These are fairly iconic characters in popular culture, and a parody is not particularly surprising.
