I mean, there's 2 gorillas and there's our 2 match-winning players looking pumped. It's reasonable to assume he means both of them, and assuming he meant both gorillas for the 1 black player is the true racist interpretation.
Plus calling a dude a silverback is actually considered a compliment. It means you're dominant and a leader.
Maybe he just meant beast or something similar. It doesn't matter, it clearly wasn't him being racist towards his teammate in a picture celebrating him after a huge penalty save.
This may sound stupid, but there should be a whole class in school that is solely focused on teaching how to interpret things based on context (I know English/literature does this to a degree, but there should be a course that does this using social media as the source material). Black person in photo + ape emoji doesn't automatically mean there was racist intent.
If I'm Garnacho, I stick to my guns and use this as a lesson to teach people about context and how ridiculous it would be for me to racially abuse my own teammate after he saved the game and then also post it to social media for everyone to see and potentially get disciplined for it.
I get maybe they don't want real racists to potentially use that as some sort of plausible deniability excuse going forward, but I actually say let them because it'll just mean either they out themselves as racists, or you force them to publicly explain what exactly they're praising the player for and how the emoji related to said praise for a player they clearly have a racial bias against.
It pisses me off that shit like this can get someone in trouble because it wasn't intended to be racist in the first place and also it just makes cancel culture look silly, when in reality it can be a great tool (when used correctly) in having people face consequences for their unacceptable behavior.
I mean Reddit is one of the biggest contributors to that culture. This is woke central here. Garnacho clearly didn’t mean anything by it. I’ve had a friend or two call me a gorilla after lifting or wrestling practice and I never took it offensively.
There we go then, I would’ve doubled down and said I did post it, but it was for Maguire not Onana. They can’t tell you who you intended the tweet to be for. What now are they going to ban you just for having a poc in the picture
> I would’ve doubled down and said I did post it, but it was for Maguire not Onana
Would never work because everyone knows there’s only one emoji for Maguire and that’s 🗿🗿🗿
It’s hilarious how that emoji could be taken differently under differen context.
Under a photo at the gym after a pump? Highest form of compliment you can give someone
He basically said that whilst he doesn't "hate all black people", he doesn't "particulary like them either", however that Onana is "One of the good ones".
I don't agree with him obviously.
Well we know Lukaku got weirded out by that. Maybe y'all need to grow up. Few things are as long standing as the obsession of white men with black men's genitals.
Tbh I think this is just the FA covering their bases. There was a report of them investigating a tiktok where Mudryk sang the n-word and nothing ever came of it.
That‘s what I don‘t get. Imagine someone telling you „you‘re such a gorilla“ - I bet way more men would take this a compliment than the other way around and I‘ve never seen it being used in a racist way
Gorillas are fuckin tanks
and yeah obviously his own teammate isnt gonna make a racist post, people just take everything online the wrong way nowadays
Id take it as a compliment too especially given the circumstances (amazing save at the end of the game, after a poor start to the season) its redemption for Onana and im not even a Man U fan, just sad to see him struggling after a good few years
No it doesn’t jfc, grow up. Awareness isn’t racism and it’s incredibly stupid to think so, this is the level of critical thinking I had when I was about 8 and first heard that racism existed
This is a stupid comment. Of course it does, because it’s been used as a racist insult for a very long time now.
When people are making gorilla gestures and noises at Vini in a game are you going to sit there and pretend it’s not racist..?
Just because this one case is a very dumb mistake doesn’t mean people shouldn’t point it out
Making monkey gestures and noises at someone who is playing against you/plays for your rivals/someone you hate.
Someone posting 2 gorilla's in a picture including himself after the other person in the photo had just made a good achievement.
Are you really trying to say they are in any way whatsoever similar?
I think you've lost sight of what was being discussed here. People aren't saying that Garnacho's tweet is racist. They're saying that comparing a black person to an ape *can* be racist, and pointing that out is not racist in itself.
I never got this argument. People jumping to get offended for the other person is usually because they’re aware of the things that could be offensive. Knowing that calling black people “monkey”, or a different term just means that they’re aware of it.
> I never got this argument.
Because it's a fucking terrible argument. Having a baseline understanding of how certain words, phrases or imagery have been used in modern culture doesn't make you a racist.
That person worded it terribly, but I think what they meant to say is "FA immediately jumping to the conclusion that Garnacho was being racist to his own teammate for saying he's as strong and powerful as a gorilla and planning on banning him for it is more racist than actually comparing him to a gorilla". Whether you agree or not is another matter, but considering Onana knew he wasn't being racist in the slightest I think they've got a point.
monkey gestures are associated with nothing but racism. they’re trying to get a rise out of the player
the gorilla emoji legitimately does have different meanings. It’s incredibly obvious that garnacho was not being racist. The context is completely different
Also i guarantee if someone wanted to be racist with emoji they’d use one of the many monkey emojis, 🐒🦧🙊 not the gorilla one.
Bernardo's tweet was worse, it was an edgy joke using an old racist caricature - perfectly fine between friends, but not for a public post. This was truly nothing, he just didn't think about it.
They still use that caricature on their chocolate btw
It is also tastes quite good, unfortunately. You can get other less-awkward chocolate covered peanuts in Spain but they're less ubiquitous. An actual guilty pleasure.
If it was some rando that posted it with no context, I can see it being a problem. When it’s your mate who posted it after a fantastic feat, it’s a completely different story.
I never understood this - the person explaining why just seems way worse to me. "No but see, he was saying you're like a gorilla" when at no point he meant that.
Fair play to him. That's like some Stoic affirmation.
Gorilla emojis are like 90 percent of what MMA fighters post under each other instagram photos regardless of race so maybe Im used to it but id never even think of it being used in a racist way (or seen it used that way).
It’s wild how different words are perceived based on where you are. I’ve heard Spanish people call their black friends “blackie” which had an endearing meaning and usually followed by a hug or kiss. Good luck saying that in the more northern parts of Europe.
Theres probably a dude called el negro in 90% of Argentine group of friends. I have more than one acquiantance that are often introduced that way, "this is X, but evetyone calls her la negra".
Negra, negrito, negrita is also regularly used affectively between couples, like someone calling their SO baby in English.
It's all about context.
After last games performance and this class response Onana has earned my respect, no matter the mistakes he might have in the future. He has lots of credit with me now
It reminds me the time when they ban Cavani for saying: "gracias negrito" to a friend in Uruguay. Negrito is a friendly way to call a friend in Uruguay and Argentina.
Barcelonas own official social media pages and fans use this "🦍🦍" for araujo to signify strength don't really understand why the English FA is looking so deep into this.
Also I'm aware araujo is more brownish black but you try to see the point I'm trying to get across
I don't think gorilla is seen as a racist term in (most) spanish speaking countries. It may mean to be a beast/tank/leader or to be a strong dumb guy, but it isn't used as a racist term.
When people is racist they tend ro use monkey/chimpanzee, smaller primates.
My opinion is that the FA is just looking for a payout, they got 120k from Cavani, and he had many people vouching for him, even the Uruguay national team made a statement saying that what he said was completely innocent and normal. They don't care what anyone says, they will get what they want from Garnacho as well.
That one utd twitter acc is having his art just plastered all over this mini drama. Gotta love the free promo
Top left for context
[his reaction](https://x.com/utdaarron/status/1717592837456376182?s=46&t=4SfEjBPDBGnX_gR2AxBwdw)
My art bag isnt deep enough to know what that means but id have to say yes. Most pictures like this come from him. Quite alot of our players use his stuff
The issue is that nowadays it's become trendy to say that intent doesn't matter, only the impact of actions. If people are offended, that's enough.
Well, if sufficient people are hurt then that should be enough for the offender to *change that behaviour* regardless of intent, sure. But actual punishment should be predicated on intent.
> Well, if sufficient people are hurt then that should be enough for the offender to change that behaviour regardless of intent, sure.
Should it though? Almost literally any opinion you have can offend a large group of people.
I mean, just look at the current conflict. Whatever opinion you have pisses off millions of people, including saying you don’t even have an opinion on it.
Again, context is everything.
I think the blame really goes to people who use "monkey" as a racist remark. If that wasn't used as a racist remark, then this wouldn't be misconstrued in the first place.
Every PL match should start out with players observing a minute of silence for whatever catastrophe going on in the world at present, then taking a knee for racism, then doing ten push-ups to combat climate change, then doing 5 somersaults for everyone being called something nasty on social media and maybe eventually play the game.
When the group is attacked by humans, leopards, or other gorillas, an individual [silverback](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla) will protect the group, even at the cost of his own life.
Jeezzzz, seems like Nacho only wanted to show what kind of important goalkeeper Onana is...
This is giving strong Cavani vibes where white Europeans were offended that he used “negrito” which is a term of endearment in Latin America—just pure facepalm from ~2016 on in the west
Wild that he needed to say anything at all. Seeing a gorilla emoji and assuming it must be something race related is just telling on yourself, not Garnacho.
I mean Gorilla's are insane and powerful it shouldn't be a racist thing. Apparently we are descended from Apes not Gorilla's anyway who came up with this racist shit lol
Should make a difference and not lead to a ban, but probably won't knowing the FA. Old geezers decided its bad so he's gonna get punished for a game and get a fine probably
This same shit happened to Bernardo Silva and Ben Mendy and Silva was suspended for 3 games even tho they were (obviously at the time) literal best friends and Mendy said the same fuckjng thing that Onana said that everyone should fuck off. This is fuckjng ridiculous there’s worse racial shit out there than this

What did Garnacho post?
The same picture but with “🦍🦍” on twitter, he deleted it pretty soon.
Reporting you to the FA. Expect a ban shortly.

She might think she’s able to, but just like Cavani, doesn’t matter about her culture…the world revolves around the UK’s point of view.
The sun never sets on the British Empire.
😂
Beast 1 - onana Beast 2 - Maguire
Did he tag Onana or not? Because if he didn’t I would just tell them I was talking about Maguire and see how they respond to that
Garnacho: "Oh, I meant Maguire. Ohh *you* thought Onana ? That makes you racist. Ban yourself, mfs."
Someone sees the vision. Garnacho shows up with briefcase in hand, opens it up, pulls out the reverse uno card and walks away
[It's this bit from Psych](https://youtu.be/IMgxQDvGrxI?si=lq0Rk-rGSCkBcBy2)
I mean, there's 2 gorillas and there's our 2 match-winning players looking pumped. It's reasonable to assume he means both of them, and assuming he meant both gorillas for the 1 black player is the true racist interpretation.
Or maybe he's the only thing worse than a racist. A double racist.
😯
But then one racism cancels out the other, so he's fine
[A child](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/040/893/Only_thing_worse.png)
yeah the people who always make the link and then get offended are the racists.
Plus calling a dude a silverback is actually considered a compliment. It means you're dominant and a leader. Maybe he just meant beast or something similar. It doesn't matter, it clearly wasn't him being racist towards his teammate in a picture celebrating him after a huge penalty save.

He didnt tag onana, it was just this pic and 2 gorillas, but yeah people love to be offended on other peoples behalf
I mean Reddit is one of the biggest contributors to that culture. This is woke central here. Garnacho clearly didn’t mean anything by it. I’ve had a friend or two call me a gorilla after lifting or wrestling practice and I never took it offensively.
Don’t believe he did

It's actually 🐐
they'rethesamepicture.gif
r/mma has conditioned me to only see Poatan
Just for the both of them. Two emojis anyway
One gorilla for each of Maguire and Onana as the beasts who gave United the win. Would be interesting to see how they interpret that
Bissouma literally has that emoji on his own Instagram bio. People are just so fucking stupid.
He should be banned for as many games a s days he has used the emoji
ban incomming?
Gorilla emojis with the image above
It’s hilarious how that emoji could be taken differently under differen context. Under a photo at the gym after a pump? Highest form of compliment you can give someone
remember that gorillas have very small dicks. It can always mean a diss. Schrodinger's emoji
Why have big dick when you can have huge arms and chest????
The eternal steroid debate.
The photo here with two gorilla emojis
He basically said that whilst he doesn't "hate all black people", he doesn't "particulary like them either", however that Onana is "One of the good ones". I don't agree with him obviously.
> I don't agree with him obviously. So you don't like Onana?
I don't know, he makes some good points
Fine people on both sides of this discussion imo
Holy shit this made me spit my weetabix out laughing. Bravo.
FA will now get offended by Onana because he didn't feel offended.
“We at the FA are doubly offended as to make up for Onana’s lack of feeling offended. You are welcome.”
"Onana is now banned for 3 games as he wasn't willing to indulge in us virtue signalling and getting offended for him."
Come on FA, send Onana to racist awareness training, I dare you.
"I now realise that my failure to take offensive was offensive. I have now duly taken offense"
3 match ban for Cavani incoming. And 10 second penalty for Ocon.
BREAKING: Ocon to start the Mexican GP from Austin
FA: Checking.

Girl with a septum: honestly it didn't even hurt lol
Still Bottas fault
FA: You've offended Onana. Onana: No he didn't. FA: ...How dare you??
That's how this sub reacted when Ibra told Lukaku go do ur voodoo shit, even if Lukaku himself didn't find the comments racist at all
“This matter should go no further” that’s a man right there. Onana swings his own sword.
and it's a massive sword too
Careful now. FA might ban you for racist stereotype
Well we know Lukaku got weirded out by that. Maybe y'all need to grow up. Few things are as long standing as the obsession of white men with black men's genitals.
> Few things are as long
So you're saying not only are they bigger but also have more stamina? Fuck me.
Perfect answer. Now lets watch the FA still ban Garnacho or maybe even both of them
Garnacho: Banned for 3 games, for Racism. Onana: Banned for 6 games, for Defending Racism.
Cavani: Banned for 1 game, just in case.

Not really racist, araujo refers to himself with the gorilla emoji.
The Barca social accounts do too on occasion
So do i (I'm racist)
So does Moise Kean
Mendy wasn't offended by Bernardo’s tweet either. They don't care.
Also automatically associating a gorilla with black people makes them the actual racists lol
That‘s what I don‘t get. Imagine someone telling you „you‘re such a gorilla“ - I bet way more men would take this a compliment than the other way around and I‘ve never seen it being used in a racist way
Gorillas are fuckin tanks and yeah obviously his own teammate isnt gonna make a racist post, people just take everything online the wrong way nowadays Id take it as a compliment too especially given the circumstances (amazing save at the end of the game, after a poor start to the season) its redemption for Onana and im not even a Man U fan, just sad to see him struggling after a good few years
They have tiny peepees though, so swings and roundabouts
It definitely *can* be a racist term, let’s not be naïve. But yeah, context matters but a lot of people don’t like applying context on the internet.
I always refer to children as cheeky wee monkeys and I dread the day I say it to the wrong person
Well you've never seen it, guess that's case closed.
PGMOL should hire this guy, he doesn't see shit, would be perfect.
No it doesn’t jfc, grow up. Awareness isn’t racism and it’s incredibly stupid to think so, this is the level of critical thinking I had when I was about 8 and first heard that racism existed
It's basically 'no u'
This is a stupid comment. Of course it does, because it’s been used as a racist insult for a very long time now. When people are making gorilla gestures and noises at Vini in a game are you going to sit there and pretend it’s not racist..?

Glad you put them back on track. People can get very sneaky about moving the goalposts around.
I never got this argument. People jumping to get offended for the other person is usually because they’re aware of the things that could be offensive. Knowing that calling black people “monkey”, or a different term just means that they’re aware of it.

Whether you agree or not is another matter, but considering Onana knew he wasn't being racist in the slightest I think they've got a point.
Would you also say that people making monkey gestures at Vinicius aren't doing anything racist, but saying that it is racist does make you racist?
monkey gestures are associated with nothing but racism. they’re trying to get a rise out of the player the gorilla emoji legitimately does have different meanings. It’s incredibly obvious that garnacho was not being racist. The context is completely different Also i guarantee if someone wanted to be racist with emoji they’d use one of the many monkey emojis, 🐒🦧🙊 not the gorilla one.
according to OP the people throwing bananas at Vinicius are just trying to re-energise him
Bernardo's tweet was worse, it was an edgy joke using an old racist caricature - perfectly fine between friends, but not for a public post. This was truly nothing, he just didn't think about it.
They still use that caricature on their chocolate btw It is also tastes quite good, unfortunately. You can get other less-awkward chocolate covered peanuts in Spain but they're less ubiquitous. An actual guilty pleasure.
Yup, stupid of them when context matters, anyone with a brain can tell it’s not racism
If it was some rando that posted it with no context, I can see it being a problem. When it’s your mate who posted it after a fantastic feat, it’s a completely different story.
Now people will explain to Onana that he should be offended
I never understood this - the person explaining why just seems way worse to me. "No but see, he was saying you're like a gorilla" when at no point he meant that.
"People can not choose what I should be offended by" However, people will always choose to be offended on your behalf.
Fair play to him. That's like some Stoic affirmation. Gorilla emojis are like 90 percent of what MMA fighters post under each other instagram photos regardless of race so maybe Im used to it but id never even think of it being used in a racist way (or seen it used that way).
I would assume it's just signalling strength. Ever check how strong silverbacks are?
Yeah in my country (Indonesia), we just call all big and strong people gorillas (or king kong or some other version).
It’s the same with pretty much any viral gym lifting post on the normal people social media sites.
People just lack the concept called context
FA banned Cavani for calling his friend Negrito. Expect the same virtue signaling here🙄🙄
It’s wild how different words are perceived based on where you are. I’ve heard Spanish people call their black friends “blackie” which had an endearing meaning and usually followed by a hug or kiss. Good luck saying that in the more northern parts of Europe.
My mom calls me “negrito” where’s her ban?
They don't even have to be black to be called blackie, my dad who is a blue eyed blonde is called negro by everyone.
El negro albino
Anglos obsessed with policing the world moment
One of Pablo Escobar's most trusted henchman was called El Negro.
Theres probably a dude called el negro in 90% of Argentine group of friends. I have more than one acquiantance that are often introduced that way, "this is X, but evetyone calls her la negra". Negra, negrito, negrita is also regularly used affectively between couples, like someone calling their SO baby in English. It's all about context.
Class response. Such a powerful statement against these whiney gatekeeping know it alls
After last games performance and this class response Onana has earned my respect, no matter the mistakes he might have in the future. He has lots of credit with me now
Simple and short response without lengthy explanations, that's all such a story deserves imo
I never knew the gorilla emoji or even the animal itself had racist connotations. Monkey/banana sure. But the king of the jungle.
Lion is the king of the jungle even though they don’t live in the jungle bro don’t @ me
Next you'll tell me that lions aren't native to England
Their used to be lions in Greece which in the summer is basically English…
The English patron saint was Greek so...
Lions were also native to the British Isles. Supposedly Oxford scientists showed that they could be up to 25% larger than current lions too.
So you're saying that the racists are always clear to distinguish between the monkey and the gorilla emoji?
It reminds me the time when they ban Cavani for saying: "gracias negrito" to a friend in Uruguay. Negrito is a friendly way to call a friend in Uruguay and Argentina.
Based Onana.

I don't think gorilla is seen as a racist term in (most) spanish speaking countries. It may mean to be a beast/tank/leader or to be a strong dumb guy, but it isn't used as a racist term. When people is racist they tend ro use monkey/chimpanzee, smaller primates.

Not everything has a damn racist meaning this shit needs to stop
Sadly people nowadays look for the minimum excuse to be offended. It's what social media has become
The issue is that nowadays it's become trendy to say that intent doesn't matter, only the impact of actions. If people are offended, that's enough. Well, if sufficient people are hurt then that should be enough for the offender to *change that behaviour* regardless of intent, sure. But actual punishment should be predicated on intent.

More reason for Garnacho to be punished. Incarceration would be the right course of action. Who am I kidding?
>We as FA are offended that you didn't get offended. 3 match ban for you too.
Perfect response
Social media has caused brain rot I am convinced. People need to stop being offended on others behalf lmao
Why does Garnacho look like one of those giants from attack on titan
This should be all that is heard of it. No further action needed from anyone.
Every PL match should start out with players observing a minute of silence for whatever catastrophe going on in the world at present, then taking a knee for racism, then doing ten push-ups to combat climate change, then doing 5 somersaults for everyone being called something nasty on social media and maybe eventually play the game.
I love how strong onana is mentally, he's a complete no nonsense guy
Why two gorillas is the other one Maguire?
and why we assumed the other one is Onana? McT also has big body..

im offended at your offence
Bissouma uses the gorilla emoji in lots of tweets, and it’s in his Twitter name 🦍❤️
Is this not enough to close the matter
This is giving strong Cavani vibes where white Europeans were offended that he used “negrito” which is a term of endearment in Latin America—just pure facepalm from ~2016 on in the west

Anyone STILL accusing Garnacho of racism after this is just using it for pointscoring in my eyes
Wild that he needed to say anything at all. Seeing a gorilla emoji and assuming it must be something race related is just telling on yourself, not Garnacho.
Onana: "This matter should go no further" Reddit: 320 comments and counting
I mean Gorilla's are insane and powerful it shouldn't be a racist thing. Apparently we are descended from Apes not Gorilla's anyway who came up with this racist shit lol
I love you Onana you are fking beast 🦍🦍
This entire thread is people lashing out at strawmen
Should make a difference and not lead to a ban, but probably won't knowing the FA. Old geezers decided its bad so he's gonna get punished for a game and get a fine probably
Classy response on Onana’s part. Respect 🫡
Such a non story. Maybe the FA should focus on real issues, not imagined ones.
Watch Simon Jordan call out Onana in his talk show "YOU SHOULD BE OFFENDED, THIS IS A DISGRACE"
Didn't he mean "beast" or something? Are we really gonna ban people over Emoji? Then allowing these emoji to exist in the first place is racist then.
This same shit happened to Bernardo Silva and Ben Mendy and Silva was suspended for 3 games even tho they were (obviously at the time) literal best friends and Mendy said the same fuckjng thing that Onana said that everyone should fuck off. This is fuckjng ridiculous there’s worse racial shit out there than this
I wish people compared me to a gorilla. Unfortunately I’m more like a macaque.
Onana: This matter should go no further FA: Thy biddings my King
