No one place, or even many institutions have ever really been very consistent in how they deal with these things, and this is part of why people are trying to speak up about them now, to demand that. If KR was an American property I would be more likely to boycott it, but since I wont be giving any money to TOEI for this, I just hope that they will change the VA, its not hard, and the guy seems like an ass, to me. Not someone kids should be looking up to.
I understand that many people in Japan haven't quite caught up with race politics elsewhere, as evidenced by the black face scene with KR Beast in Wizard, and many other occurrences in Japanese media, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't hope they catch up. ALSO Subaru Kimura is half German, spent 7 adult years in Germany, and has likely travelled abroad a bit, I get the feeling he may have heard that blackface is bad at some point before he posted it online, but maybe I'm wrong. It would help if he took responsibility but it seems he hasn't.
EDIT: I also agree that if TOEI is trying to make KR more international (and I agree it seems they are) then they REALLY need to rethink this. Its not something western audiences will take lightly.
Same here. I've been able to keep up without giving TOEI money before.
