Sooooo I decided to check out Hunter Product's site to see if they had any updates on the Shibajuku reboot and...

Whitewashing across the board! Color me disappointed but not surprised. It would appear they're Walmart exclusive as well, so again I'm not sure who is ultimately to blame for deciding every single one of these girls needs to be pale AF. Though I'm going to go ahead and point the finger at the manufacturer, since--as is becoming my go-to comparison--Decora Girlz managed to get three different skin tones into a line of only four dolls, and Walmart is selling all of them.

Whereas Shibajuku....

I also find it extremely hilarious that at this late date they're STILL only advertising the Pullip-leaning illustrated mockups instead of posting photos of the actual dolls, even though you can find the latter on Walmart's website. Who are they trying to fool at this point??? And their only socials? LinkedIn and Youtube (no videos posted about the dolls, I checked). Almost as though they aren't interested in connecting with their customer base at all, or getting feedback on their lazy, racist dolls. Probably goes without saying, but--I'm suddenly finding myself way less inclined to purchase any of them 😒

I don't know why I had hope that they would give Nami somewhat realistic proportions and would make Ussop dark-skinned.

These designs -especially how they looked post time-skip - and the stupid pervy jokes are what made me stop watching the anime in the first place. If nothing is going to change, and in fact be worse with thier treatment of Black and dark-skinned characters (not even starting with a bit of melanin, and we don't even know what they plan to make the shandorians look like) they I'm probably going to end up waving my motivation to watch this remake goodbye. AND THAT SUCKS.

The amount of scandals involving Nazis/Nazi imagery in kpop is incredibly worrying.

And quite frankly, at this point, I’m sick of the “well they didn’t know! They never learned about it in school!”

There’s no shortage of Nazi scandals in the industry for them to learn from.

Loving the intro posts for the G1! I wanted to add a note about Gabe Kidd for people to be aware. Now I am no expert on mental health so apologies if I’m not explaining this correctly. He has been open about a lot of his mental health issues. Last year? I think it was he called out several people on Twitter to the point that Ospreay asked people not to engage with him and that it was a serious matter

However, I bring this up because a female wrestler called out one of her trainers of emotional abuse as part of Speaking Out and the person she accused Sid Scala was suing her for tweeting about it. And Gabe during all of this accused her of lying as Sid was his friend. Now I’m not here to say whether it’s right or wrong or justified or anything like that. Just wanted to bring that for people’s attention

Thanks for this extra info. Yes, I saw some of Gabe's posts on Twitter during his mental health crisis. I didn't include anything about it in my guide as it seemed like it was a pretty complex personal situation, and one where I didn't feel we had enough information to really know what was going on.

I'd missed his particular comments about the Scala accusation though. I've just looked them up. Yikes. I'd like to be able to put it down to him being in the middle of a mental health crisis at the time (since I believe it did occur around the same time), but also, he hasn't apologised for his comments since his return to wrestling, as far as I can see. And I know how tempting it is to give people a free pass when I'm a fan of theirs, which I'm determined not to do here.

As you say, important information for everyone to know, so thanks for bringing it to my attention.

If you post Tears of the Kingdom spoilers without tags I WILL block you. I don't care how long we've been mutuals, do NOT spread those to people who don't want to see it

(and if tumblr fucks up and doesn't filter correctly I'm sorry but I'm blocking in this situation too just to be safe)

[aretarers]

mantra when you fuck up is "i'm in my early 20s it's literally not a big deal"

[spyglassrealms]

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing

[mausolealdrift]

its baffling seeing people on here being all shocked about how other ppl didnt have sex or do drugs or drink or go to parties etc etc in high schools like. sorry i was too busy getting bullied to do all of that stuff i guess. why are you surprised that there’s losers on the cringe loser website

If you'd told me four years ago that Overwatch would turn into Fortnite but with even less morals (which is saying something) I would have said you were crazy, but here they are, no doubt hoovering up weeb money with a Cowboy Bebop collaboration.

Unfortunately, as we all know from the gacha community alone, weebs will throw bucketloads of money at stupid jpegs, and nevermind the ethical ramifications of it.

i watched the first parkour civilization movie and its like. 2 hours of youtube shorts tied together. its so funny, they reestablish the plot like 200 times throughout the whole move. everyone's ego is beyond fragile and no one has ever heard of a 360 jump or a backwards jump somehow

[bigfatbreak]

they both got bonked for being silly.
