this is a magical girl show for children. i think its more important to show characters being redeemed and accepted than it is to show them being somehow 'punished' for their crimes. punitive justice is a failure of society and a uniquely capitalist distortion of righteousness. god bless.

there was a livestream where someone made a joke about the black kid picking corn in a field, i think

they just meant it to be a joke about him being a farmer but uhhh, very unfortunate implications

also a guy said 'dykes' but he was talking about a podcast with the word 'dykes' in the name, because one of the people on that podcast was in the stream, so that ones just dumb

the farmer joke was poorly thought out and would have been caught by anyone who had talked to a black person about it for five seconds, which speaks poorly to the racial diversity of the crew

however, there's a loooong bridge between that and the entire staff being virulent racists

I mean stormtroopers aren't nazis. They're cartoon villains with laser guns. If a dude's talking about how the empire was in the moral right in the movies that's weird, if he's just in the costume it's harmless. It's a fun recognizable design from a popular media thing. A guy in a stormtrooper costume doesn't embody a nazi anymore than a guy in a rebel uniform embodies french resistance fighters.

The problem with the Empire-centric stuff is more and more these days you run into people who call the Rebels terrorists but without irony. It does get... very unsettling sometimes.

yeah but most of the guys dressing up as stormtroopers for halloween or whatever dont fit into that type, is mostly my point
