It has come to my attention in my searching for this week's final target that about a year ago YouTube was ablaze with video flame wars on the subject of people with non-Asian ethnic origins dressing up as anime and videogame characters, or more specifically whether they should be allowed at all. Since I like to claim that this blog, consisting of what is essentially formalised bullying, is ultimately making a liberal political statement about cultural fetishisation, I want to take a moment to say that this sword cuts both ways. If someone wants to dress up as a fictional character for shits and giggles and/or nerd fame and attention, it is their right to do so, regardless of race.
Dressing like an idiot is nobody's fucking birthright.
