If you want to send Toei politely worded emails, or calmly make others aware of the situation that's fine
But bullying sub groups, toy sellers, or fans just for subbing the show, selling toys, or enjoying the show is super uncool
Buying (and especially reselling) toys will not directly support Kimura financially, if you are choosing to not buy this line of toys because you don't want to show Toei (who do still make profit off the toys to my understanding) support in their casting decision, that is a choice I completely understand, but people buying toys they think they'll enjoy does not make them racist, and people continuing to sell toys that they rely on selling to make a living is certainly not racist
However if you see people on social media saying stuff like "I support Kimura, why can't anyone take a joke anymore! I'm going to watch the show to support him!" that's obviously different, you don't need to support those people, but even then I'd say try to calmly disagree with them, then you can always mute or block them if they start bothering you, it is never okay to harass anyone
This is also just not the situation with Taka... Taka is a super nice guy, he's very patient and understanding, and he doesn't deserve to be harassed (like I said nobody does)
I've bought things from Taka before and he's been very patient with me when I've had trouble getting money together to pay for my pre-orders, he's a total sweetheart
I know a lot of us are upset with everything going on but please do not harass
anyone
I 100% agree, and I am pretty radical in my social justice opinions. The thing a lot of people dont understand is that change isn't about chopping everyone up for the smallest little thing. Like, this guy is the VOICE, and I think they shouldn't have hired him, at the very least until he's made it clear that he understands the problems with his actions and is working to change himself. If he doesn't, I'd hope he's more or less blacklisted, personally. But to extend this all the way to someone who is selling toys based on a character that a problematic person voiced, thats absolutely crazy. NO ONE changes their mind about issues because a mob insulted and cancelled them, and we are not trying to create a world full of people who DON'T change, we are trying to create a world full of people who CAN change. I was not born fully aware of all this stuff, I was born into a pretty racist white household, I only became a better version of myself because good people around me made space for me to get better. A lot of these issues are complex and layered, and the ways they've been enabled have to do with deeply entrenched systemic issues, it does a deep dis-service to social justice movements to engage with such persistent unbalanced negativity. Theres an amount of negativity that is justified and the rest is just rampant ego-gratification.
