#just gonna cover all those tag bases in case anyone blowing them actually has info i could use

[borgicorgi-blog]

So guys here’s the news, this is gonna be under the usual plus ”splatoon”and “splatoon community issues” tags so keep an eye out for that. There have been a nice amount of fuckheads seeing to bring division into the lives of many people who don’t want it. These people have been bringing real life issues surrounding politics and the likes to silence others so now I’m going to analyze what’s been said. Let’s start with the most popular case because this one has already caused a big uproar AND thanks to @littlerubyrue I have extra info on obsessive hatred for this person. (edit I got rid of the photos since i didn’t get the permission from the artist however I will post a link http://cafe-cardamari.tumblr.com/post/161089178198/bucketsquid-splatoon-discourse)

@cafe-cardamari is a part of @tamarinfrog‘s  blogs and she very large freelance artist. They have been large in the splatoon community as well as making noteworthy art that has been featured before on the @splatoonus blog which is the official splatoon blog for the US.

The accusations for this blog are: Pedophillia, stereotyping

Let’s start with the first thing shown above: this is one of the concepts this artist provided. The same with the second picture shown. It’s clearly showing the character in a stereotypical light. Shirt open, sexy poses, etc. seems damning right? There is a post from 2 days ago saying that she knows the character is 1 dimensional, whether this is before confrontation or not I’m not sure but my friend had told me that apparently this character had just been created. After some back and forth we determined that while the portrayal my seem racist to some, it has no ill will towards anyone. And while it can be a romanticized portrayal it is not racist in anyway as main media such as spanish music sung by artist such as Pitbull, Enrique Iglesias,. however spectrum did say she could very much help herself by taking reliable sources of festivities, culture and even some hardships if in these regions she may want to represent. Spectrum has taken classes and her teacher was nice enough to share the experiences her trip to Latin America. To hear it from another’s lips is great but the best way to gather info is experiencing it firsthand. If Tammy is willing to and even has the money, I would recommend she go there with family or friends the first visit to get a feel for it.

So let’s get to the first round of messages: Tammy is elaborating on her things and then it hits. Deviously-renegade reposted with an angry post about this about her issues on speaking spanish and the stereotypes get on her nerves etc. Now deconstructing the post they are going on about the stereotypes in a cartoon squid person. So to get this straight when a person makes something that essentially does show part of your culture even if it is a common thing seen because that’s also what is seen in your media culture you get mad because of a personal experience. If anything I think you're mad at the wrong thing. Tammy drew this sure but she has nothing to do with making people make fun of you for your language. And that’s assuming it’s your actual culture which I’m assuming since you are getting mad at it, you're latino and not from spain. If he likes to dance then he probalby would want to dance a variety of those mentioned dances depending on the culture he absorbed. People will absorb things they see if it interest them. And you need to fuck off with that “but das cultural appropriation!” no think is exclusive to one race which like the 96 genders is a social construct but one is real and the other is a recent trend. Your race has nothing to do with what you can do. Some people make fun of it but there are those who want to learn, but hey clearly bitching that people are touching your stuff works wonders apparently. You even touched on the fact the n on “senoritas” looks different despite accurate punctuation. Great end comment.

Now we get into splatoon-discourse’s comment. This is where unnecessary hate really starts. This person is riding off the first comment. look at the tone of the writing. Sarcastic and arrogance. They too believe this is a portrayal of their race. It is a character with features from the culture if you don’t like it fine but that attitude is not one of bluntness. You are on your high horse shitting on someone for this. Even if you offer criticism there is a way to say it. “This has stereotypes, fix your shit.” Even with latino roots, you have a sense of entitlement too big for your pants. Nothing should be without criticism not even Tammy but you do all this and even try to guilt trip the person. You know if that person cares they will feel bad. So the question is do you care? I think the answer is obvious that you don’t.

This next one is just repeating what their friend is saying, making a random comment about squid nipples (which IS weird but its her shit, I don’t care) and a typical sjw comment on  “cis”, heterosexual males. nothing too noteworthy from this comment other then someone hoping on to post random thoughts just to talk shit.

This is found on splatoon-discourse’s page someone had  voice out that this is wrong because of the fact this speaks not for all people which they din’t, i agree this is bulllshit that they make it sound like Tammy is tearing down a culture even if it’s not a 100 percent accurate portrayal of a person from down south. It can be seen as a stereotyped based character by some people although it also depends on how a sentence is phrased.  If you know saying things a certain way will influence the answer, you’ll likely do it if you want results. Admittedly this Tamarinfrog SHOULD have had the balls to say “fuck off” because these people could have been more blunt with what they wanted to change, and have no need to make her feel bad if she works as an artist that takes sources when she can get them. The tone is so snooty, you could have easily imagined a snooty rich valley girl from a high school movie having saying the same thing no matter where you come from. I have proof anyways that these people do this to restrict and bring hatred and discrimination and had no good will towards this person. But if you want my advice, Tamarinfrog should grow some balls and block these people. These people are the type to ruin others for an agenda and they don’t care about your feelings. Only thiers. That’s the only reason why they would try to make a low blow. There are ways to express tactfulness and be blunt without the urge to hit such a low blow. To make this clear. Criticism is good.  Being an arrogant cunt is not. But I do think Tammy is an adult and can handle herself fine. Adults can make the decision whether or not they seek help on an emotional level. I’m sure she found comfort herself after the event happened and I’mm sure people cheered them up afterwards.

I will cover the part of this reply shown before I stop with this part. This person retaliates with you don’t represent everyone else either. Valid point. BUt this “I’ve talked to other people” so I have some questions on that myself. Who are they? Have you phrased this as neutrally as possible? And how biased were they already against this person? You’d think I’d be talking in absurdities but I know how groupthink works. THey gather like minded people and these people seem awfully proud of being from Latin America to the point that’s all that matters. And you have also talked with people who are non-latino. So this isn’t a manner of who is latino that think this is ok vs who is not to you. It’s Everyone who agrees with you vs latinos who disagree with you. And the people who agree with you are probably on your side because they take up deluded extremist values on the matter or don't know what’s going on and look at it first glace to class it racist.

This will be it for now. Part 2 will be posted tomorrow. Hopefully on time. But throughout allthis I want to remind you this is warring on peoples believes on cartoon squids that came from a video game.
