I would never drive by a house that has a tigger flag and think “that’s tacky”, I would think “awe they must have kids that picked that out.” and think it was a family neighborhood. she was just being anal and wanted to complain about something that was none of her business

Many people took the complaint at face value and thought it was over the line, saying that the woman had no right to complain about her neighbors' decorations.

Finally, many people were sad to see Tigger in Twitter's trending topics for this unfortunate reason. Some said they were hoping it would be about new Winnie the Pooh content, or even Rap City music. They complained that racism has officially found its way into every part of life now.
