Have you seen the new merch they're rolling out?

The above are reddit links about some very whitewashed Winx Club keychains. I figured they were some old toys because Rainbow used to do cheap kid toys with this style.

Boy do I look stupid because these are very real and new things on the Winx Club shop!

I had to do a screenshot with the names because otherwise you wouldn't recognize Aisha, who has Flora's skin tone, and Flora, who is...hell I don't know, some bonus girl.

I hate these! Thanks for sharing!

#winx club #i think 'we're so back' is the phrase used these days #i hate that we are but BOY we are #(also as a quick unimportant aside: Tecna's keychain looks like Roxy and I hate it)#(they very obviously made 3 molds and just used the Musa one for Tecna because they're cheap)#also though i linked the shop to cite sources please don't buy these #especially in times like these go support small artists!

Thoughts on the Ai?

If you’ve somehow missed this - Rainbow was caught using AI in the Winx Club reboot. Other people have made better posts, but the evidence is very clear, imo. When asked by fans, Straffi said it wasn’t AI, but some conspiracy theory being spread online by ‘competitors.’ What a normal thing to say! I do not believe him!

Anyway I made a pie chart to explain my feelings. Hope it clears things up for you, anon!

#anonymous #winx club #not whitewashing #somehow #anti ai #anyway this left a really sour taste for the reboot #and I don’t plan on directly supporting it in any way #yo ho ho #winx club reboot #also: feel free to use this pie chart if you found it helpful

#Katseye doing what the live action could NEVER

Sorry for the 180 of the posts I’m just used to disappointment

#of course the one time I don’t wait for HD footage Straffi makes me look like a fool #but I’d rather be a fool than have whitewashed Flora again so who’s the real loser?#No one!

Deleted the other post because ladies, gentlemen and non-binary friends in a shocking turn of events I was wrong Flora is not whitewashed get the confetti!

#not only were we given HD footage #BUT IT SHOWED THE ERROR OF MY WAYS #this is a win I’m not used to this #(of course when I use a good joke I’d been saving)#winx club #she also has a non-white accent???

Bro WHAT did they do to her????

#it’s honestly such a long story #the short answer is racists gonna racist

Elisha's farewell speech gives me a vibe of "IM FREEEEEE!!!!!!!! WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY FUCKING LIFE"

I can't find what she wrote about it, but I remember she posted it like, hours after the cancellation was announced. And it 100% gave off that vibe. She was calling out 'bye' barreling down the driveway.

We may see Elisha again in a different series, but you know, it's so hard for Asian actors to break into mainstream roles...

#at least she got a boyfriend out of it!#anti fate the winx saga

Actually really proud that calling out racism and bad writing led a multi billion dollar company to trash a bad show, thanks for asking 😊

#this is the most unhinged one I’ve seen so far #also to be fair idk who posted it #i got this from a discord and it was already cropped #so if this is you *shrug*#but lbr you aren't following me lol

Ngl Elisha’s whole speech on the shows cancellation has been the funniest to me because it’s like ‘the show has taught me so much!’ and that could be interpreted two VERY different ways

Best thing I’ve ever seen this man post online

#netwinx #anti fate the winx saga #I CANT BELIEVE NETFLIX DID A GOOD

jiisoooo

the little mermaid casting for ariel’s sisters look more like the winx girls than the actual cast of fate

#that’s some scalding tea there friend

Ah yes, thank you Elisha. Glad we’re fixing the real issues.

#netwinx #this popped up on my for you page on IG and I’ve been laughing for 3 minutes #the algorithm won’t give me a fucking break #but anyway you know the saying: if I suffer so do you #(the costumes are shit but imma say racism is a tad worse)

So because I love torturing y’all, I’m taking you on this whiplash adventure I went on in the last hour. In digging around for Fate 2 news addressing casting, I checked Wikipedia to find the list of people blaming Brian Young for whitewashing Winx Club now included the OG himself, your least favorite Italian and mine, Iginio Straffi

And I was like ‘wow, this is surprising considering it’s Straffi’s IP and he is no stranger to changing skin tones for aesthetic. But I guess you should try to back away from dumpster fires, even if it’s your dumpster.’

But then I decided to check the source to see if there was any more Fate-hating in there (because I’m weak).

Only to find - surprise - the Wikipedia quote was only part one of Staffi’s answer! And part two said the controversy just due to exaggerated sensitivity over JUST Musa’s casting, nobody cared about it anymore, and a minor detail like *looks at hand* representation, won’t affect Winx Club as a whole.

There are other parts of the interview that radiate the same what the fuck energy as this but don’t really apply to this blog (including Straffi wanting to do a whole new live action Winx universe with Helen Mirren as Faragonda), but I am again going to link the interview in case you want to suffer with me.

Moral of the story? Check your sources, Straffi has no idea how modern Western media works, and I still hate everything.
