Did anyone else see the frida kahlo doll that Barbie I believe is making? Its fucking appalling and I’m sick of white people

fakeblack

Like this is such disgusting bullshit and frida was a socalist she would never want to be apart of these big corporations

andysmovingcastle

they also didnt have permission to use frida kahlo’s image, her relatives have released a statement about mattel’s use of frida’s image: https://twitter.com/FridaKahlo

If I remember right Frida said she hated anything she didn’t make herself with her image on it for sale, which is why I dont really buy anything with her image on it. This is just gross not only is this against her family’s wishes but shes fucking whitewashed too.

for anyone who doesn’t know, this is what Frida Kahlo actually looked like:

her skin, hair, and eyes were darker than that shitty doll’s and her eyebrows were way thicker and CONNECTED.

Frida embraced her unibrow and mustache as part of her natural beauty and purposefully darkened them in defiance of the Western world’s sexist, Eurocentric beauty standards. she fucking despised colonialism, appropriation, and the violence white people brought upon her country. she literally said, “I don’t like gringos at all. They are very boring and all have faces like unbaked rolls.”

also, she wasn’t a socialist, she was a communist, a political stance that she dedicated much of her life to. American capitalism disgusted her and she would have wanted no part in it.

She was also disabled and walked with a cane (and at one point had a back brace, but I see neither with this doll), had affairs with both men and women, often broke gender roles and presented as masculine when she felt like it, and she and Rivera aided Trotsky when he was seeking political sanctuary from Stalin.

In any good Avatar comparison you fools would know that Kylo isn’t Zuko, he’s Ozai, because here’s what Kylo has in common with Zuko:

Red and black color scheme

Scar

Angry sometimes

And here’s what Kylo has in common with Ozai:

Fascist genocidal dictator

Killed his own father to secure his own political power

Desperate to exceed the legacy of his famously evil grandfather who rose to power following a betrayal of a lifelong best friend which resulted in an emotional final confrontation in a volcano

Nemesis is a new staff-carrying Chosen One who’s attempting to fill the shoes of the last Chosen One who mysteriously disappeared without a trace just when the world needed him most. This new Chosen One is rising from a religious order thought long dead due to a genocide perpetrated by his grandfather.

Copied his grandfather’s genocide plan only Bigger

Gives himself an Evil Promotion

Even the people who once loved him, and the people who see good in absolutely everyone, now acknowledge that he is beyond saving and that even if he wasn’t, it wouldn’t be worth it to try.

In the same AU the fish nuns are collectively the “my cabbages” guy

anosognosic

Even the people who once loved him, and the people who see good in absolutely everyone, now acknowledge that he is beyond saving and that even if he wasn’t, it wouldn’t be worth it to try.

huh that must be why Luke didn’t sacrifice himself while explicitly saying that the act of killing him will haunt Kylo forever in a perfectly calculated reflection of Obi-Wan’s death at Darth Vader’s hands, which set the latter on his path to redemption

raptorific

Huh amazing how Luke explicitly said “I came to face him, Leia. And I can’t save him.” And then later when Kylo asks “did you come to forgive me? To save my soul?” Luke replies “no.” Not to mention the multiple characters who explicitly said that Luke’s confrontation with Kylo was specifically to buy the resistance time to escape, and that his act of self-sacrifice was because he knew the future of the light side would be safe in Rey’s hands.

Luke wasn’t trying to save him by saying “if you strike me down in anger, I’ll always be with you, just like your father” wasn’t an attempt to save or redeem him. Luke was calling him on his “let the past die, kill it if you have to” bullshit by pointing out the hypocrisy of loudly proclaiming he doesn’t care about the past while being completely unable to let it go, obsessed with hunting it down and killing it.

my favorite thing about the contrast between early christianity and ancient greek and roman religion is that the difference in the ways they think and talk about their gods is really similar to the difference between how dog and cat owners talk about their pets

thoodleoo

early christians: this is our god he’s omnipotent and omniscient and he is better than all of the other gods greeks: this is our party god dionysus he got into an argument with a bunch of frogs once and we love him

Random Headcanon: Link’s androgyny isn’t just an artefact of the Zelda franchise’s art direction - and neither is it particularly unusual. Sexual dimorphism among Hylians is legitimately much lower than among real-world humans; if Link and Zelda swapped clothes, you’d never be able to tell who was the girl and who was the boy.

Consequently, Hylian society depends heavily on clothing to establish gender roles, to the extent that it’s a severe faux pas to question someone’s gender presentation. If they’re dressed like a girl, then they’re a girl - even if they were dressed like a boy yesterday. That’s why nobody ever remarks upon the fact that Zelda and her heroic alter-ego Sheik are different genders; it’d be gauche at best to bring it up.

Good post op

explains why i can be banned from gerudo town, change clothes in front of the guards, and then be welcomed with open arms

quantumghosts

shit, this absolutely provides an explanation for it that isn’t just “lazy game mechanism” and is honestly such a solid demonstration of how people should approach genderfluidity.

doesn’t matter if the first time you met the person they presented as male, if they present as female now that means they’re a woman and they’re welcome into gerudo town no questions asked

Also, Link and Zelda 100% do swap places often and you can’t tell me otherwise.

what do you mean by "all the shit that went down in the early u.s. anime fandom days"?

I guess I should say “Fandom & Industry” things that went down.

Things like:

Mailing strangers VHS tapes so they can transfer fansubbed videos to it & mail it back to you

Companies cobbling together 2 or 3 different shows to make ONE BIG show with a flimsy plot thread to put them together.

Really boring drama anime meant for older audiences being marketed to kids with bright colorful boxes:

Dubs being recorded in LITERAL CAVES on the side of Californian mountains because that’s all they could afford to rent

Robotech not having the rights to sell VF-1S plane toys (THE major macross selling point, toy wise) because Hasbro already bought them for Transformers (and used it for the base for Jetfire) so instead they sold toys of everything else, including the Fashion Doll series “Women of Robotech”

The master tapes of the English dub of “The Amazing 3″ now being in a landfill somewhere because the widow of the director couldn’t get anything for them.

Petty fansubbers putting their petty drama in the middle of the credits

A group of Americans being hired by Gainax in their early days to be their overseas merchandising helpers - only for it to burst into flames because no one at Gainax knew what they were doing (Which you can read about from the perspective of Lea Hernandez in her webcomic “Bani Garu”)

The 1st Dub for Miyazaki’s Nausicaa movie (then titled “Warriors of the Wind”) being SO “BAD” that it insulted Miyazaki enough that edits to any Ghibli film are contractually no longer allowed.

Etc.
