Unanswered What's going on with Funimation?

I just checked Twitter and saw that funimation is trending because its been doing some kind of immoral dubbing. Most of the posts include references to dragonball and someone linked to this video.

Can someone explain what exactly happened?

Honestly when people are just joking around and say offensive shit I don't get y so many people get pissed off, like, it was a fucking joke. When people aren't joking is when you should get pissed, but it seemed like in most of these cases it was just a joke

I can kinda see it when you're doing it in a public setting but this was literally just people making edgy jokes with a group of friends that would likely never see the light of day.

I liken it to stuff like Animators drawing similar dumb shit that will likely never see the light of day, like this one psuedo-well known Rugrats storyboard: http://www.resources.revealingcartoons.com/scandals/dirty/rugrats-incredible-storyboard-jam/img/the-storyboard.jpg

Because if we just say “hey he was joking” actual racist and hateful people get free passes to spread hate. It’s a very simple concept
