When it comes to scandals and issues like with Kimura's past actions, the way I see it is as follows:
It shouldn't be ignored and should be pointed out as an issue. Especially if Toei wishes to expand the brand out to other countries more heavily. It's something they should acknowledge as problematic for their potential overseas viewerbase. While some issues western fans have with JP media get super over-blown to the point where I don't even blame JP creators from ignoring them outright, stuff like this shouldn't be ignored.
THAT SAID...You're not doing a disservice to anyone if you still decide to watch the series or purchase and goods. Kimura's paycheck comes from Toei. We pirate the stuff, thus no money goes to the show. We buy the merch, but that goes to Bandai. If someone chooses not to support Revice for any reason connected to Kimura and his actions, that's 100% respectable and understandable. If someone acknowledges the issues but still wishes to watch Revice and purchase any goods because they're able to look at the show on its own, again that's 100% respectable and understandable.
But if you suddenly think that either people aren't watching it over something trivial or meaningless OR you think that anyone still watching or buying Revice merch supports the problem and is racist or anything, you're completely out of line and need to sit down, shut up and re-think the situation and people's threshholds. I acknowledge that Kimura is problematic and would be more than okay if he were replaced at some point. I also know that I will be watching Revice and buying the Figuarts because I'm able to detach the actor from the show (Even moreso since he's just a voice). Does that mean I'm racist? No. And neither is anyone else with that same mindset.
It's one thing to spread awareness. It's another to try to force ideals on others and witch hunt those who don't respond the exact way you do.
