I'm so tired
We went SO LONG without any major drama. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty certain that the only controversy surrounding the show up until now all came from the fan base, not anyone actually connected to the show
Now there's suddenly a huge wave of it, and it's not even good drama?? A couple of the VAs made some shitty jokes a few years ago. They didn't say any actual slurs, and they weren't intentionally being racist, they were just giggling over an innocent word sounding like a bad word. Is it totally fine for them to do that? No, it was still distasteful. But is it worth trying to ruin their careers over? Fuck no, especially when they immediately apologized after it got brought up. "Oh but they should have apologized sooner before they were called out on it" in what context would they have reasonably been expected to do that? Just tweet out one day "oh btw we made a kind of offensive joke a while back, our b" I'm certain that they completely forgot about that joke like a week after because it was not a big enough deal to even bother remembering or feeling guilty over. But people have been stretching this out for W E E K S and I'm so fucking sick of hearing about it
And now Glitch is pulling ep 9 from theatres in different countries all of a sudden. This is a little more serious, it's going to have actual negative impact on people. We don't currently know why they did it, there's just theories, but regardless of the reason, it's probably just corporate bs or weird legal issues. I'm not saying it's not a big deal, but it's again just leading to so much drama, because some people just want any excuse to attack a show they don't like
I'm just so tired. And I imagine most other people here are too. I just hope we can last the rest of the month without some new big thing being revealed that causes everyone to get cancelled and the movie to get pulled from even more theatres, but with how things have been going, we'll be lucky if we can even go a week without something new happening for people to dogpile on
