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, if you are choosing to not buy this line of toys because you don't want to show Toei support in their casting decision 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

If you see people saying "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 either calmly disagree with them, 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'm not personally aware of Taka and have never bought anything from Taka, but I do agree that such bullying is misplaced aggression. I have no loves, lusts, or allegiances with regards to Kimura, but a toy seller isn't Kimura and didn't do the bad thing that Kimura did. Revice toys will be sold and bought! No getting around that! If an individual distributor chooses to do so, it's understandable. If an individual distributor chooses not to do so, it's understandable.
