Is Riot being blatantly Racist with their new poro icon?
Let's review the new poro icon.
-
White Poro doesn't have gas canister or w/e to make white smoke. This is a pretty clear anti-white message. I'm not saying you have to make an entirely new one, but it's pretty clear that no thoughts or fark's were given when making this. A new edited version of the poro icon with white smoke would be great in letting us know that white people are welcome in this game.

No black poro. Yeah it's a rainbow but it would be good to get some black representation here. Also as black absorbs all the colors there is also a message that while they "support" (pander) for E-points, do they really support the mixing of cultures? Perhaps they support different people but not the mixing? That's segregation, and that's bad.

Purple Poro is gonna die. He's closing his eyes, he's accepting his fate. He forgot to pack his parachute properly and he's going to fall to his death. Riot, that's a pretty sick message.
And in case it wasn't obvious, this is a joke.
I mean the things I pointed out are still true, but it's not like anyone really cares about a poro icon or the hidden meanings it carries.
Last game I played had a rainbow Rammus. Way better than Nyan Yummi cat. Just saying.
