That's a face only a mother could love. Oi vei...lol.

 

How do you read "superiority" in anything I said!   Wow, dude! Typed words, without the context of facial expressions or vocal tone, really can be misunderstood. In your particular case, I suspect you're NOT arguing with me, but with a mental image of a past fan you did not like.

I actually love Japan. I've been 4 times. As an American, I did my best to represent the West in a respectful way (i.e. giving up my train seat for older Japanese; something young Japanese actually DON'T do in Japan!).

But there is a subtle racism there that I think happens because the country is just so isolated. Their very notion of "racism" is garnered from what they see on American Television programs! What do they know about blackface or racially insensitive art? If you love Japan, great.   But you should not ignore... well, ignorance.

Why don't you just tell me a typical Japanese defense of racially (or morally) questionable content: "It's meant for Japan-only, so you Westerners can shut up and not buy it!"   I get that.  

 

Sorry to break it to you, brave white knight of the west but morality doesn't exist as anything other than subjective judgements of value. You are in your own defence claiming superiority over the Japanese in terms of "morality". You believe your values regarding the subject are superior in some objective sense.

 

Having to specially import it was the point, not that you just dont have to buy the items, since you have to go to special trouble to obtain them. So dont do that then.. Dont illegally import toys that arent even approved for sale in North Am.

People who see racism everywhere, youre the racist ones. You know deep down that you are, so you get all panicky and insecure and try to deflect it by saying how racist everyone else is. Get a life. Like the people who arent all faux-bothered are enjoying.

Heres another article in the news about how white people think everything is racist and theyre extremely ignorant about it:

Now hold on there just for one minute if you can. It was stated earlier in this very thread that one of these comedians is know you abuse his wife and children, or something along those lines, and the was written off as it's not a big deal over there. As a society that not only frowns upon domestic abuse but as also made it a crime does that not make us better? Is it not morally right to treat all people regardless of age or gender with dignity and respect?

 

A lot actually.

There is no way you can spin domestic abuse, or racism, as good or acceptable.

 

The fact that you copy pasted definitions that reaffirmed my points is pretty humorous.

 

The fact that you miss my point entirely is sad.

 

The point that you think that posting definitions that say that morality is subjective makes your morality superior?

 

For those who are planning to buy this, does the offer included in the DVD expire? Or can I save up until April, get the DVD then and still have a shot at getting this freak figure?

 

It is superior, because tells me that hurting women and children is wrong. Any one that wants to argue that point is a troll or a terrible person.

 

Sorry to break it to you, Colonel Sanders but you're not judging based on objective standards.

Though I am glad you admit you beleive the west is superior to Japan. Honesty is a pretty good policy.

I'm not advocating for Japanese or Western moral standards, sorry you mistook my intentions.

 

I need to make clear my stance on this the west is not superior to Japan, in a general sense, but in regards to domestic abuse and racism we are. However Japan, from what I understand, has a much stronger set of family values and a better work ethic.

I do believe that some societies are better than others based on the values of those societies but it's not al all or thing thing. There are some thing the west gets right that other places are a bit off on and vice versa. As an example I hate the idea of "old folk's homes". I don't think we could be sending our parents or grandparents off to live with strangers as they die.

 

k,

 

Can anyone elaborate further on Jaw Claw being released as a Splatoon tie in toy ?
Mentioned on a previous post ?

Colourwise the Headmaster Body might make a nice place to seat the Ultra Magnus head that came with Arcee.

 

Just ordered these.  

 

Unfortunately no. Seems like you have until end of January to put in your code for the figure.

Ummm I've gone through the thread again and I don't see anything about Claw Jaw being released as a Splatoon crossover fig. Also I know my memory isn't what it used to but I don't recall anything being mentioned about a Splatoon x TF Crossover.
