Only sort of on topic but I feel like this is worth mentioning

Recently people were bullying Taka of kotetsu-toys-japan.jp, calling him a racist for selling revice toys

I feel like this shouldn't need to be said, but don't bully people over this stuff please

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
