I hope those of you who celebrate had a lovely christmas (or a better christmas than you were expecting for everyone for whom it is a difficult time)
I had a very normal day helping my brother make a shishak helmet out of a pannetone box, some tinfoil, and a whole lot of gaffa tape because he's the bold turkish knight in the boxing day mummer's play the year, and he'd forgotten to make a costume!
#my life#don't worry there is 0 brownface involved#technically there is greenface#because its a border morris side and camo green was their solution to the traditional burnt cork facepaint looking a bit racist#(it actually started because morris dancing was considered begging which was illegal#so they'd disguise their faces just enough for plausible deniability#but it doesn't look good to modern eyes)

racism in Nintendo 2: electric boogaloo
hello and welcome back it is i, once more. to talk about the elephant in the room that has reappeared in the release of the totk designs. a suspiciously green elephant i might say
this is of course about ganon
i have made a few posts before about ganon - about how it's not anti-racist to 'redeem' his role as an all-evil villain by sexualising him; about the fan response to the first totk trailer and the rehydrated ganondorf trend; and how other characters (namely link) do not get the same treatment that ganon gets for similar design features.
what i want to give today is a more straightforward explanation of 1. why it is bad that ganon is green (yes, it is in fact bad) and 2. the orientalism inherent in his totk design. i know a lot of people find him hot, and might become defensive that i'm pointing out features that they enjoy. the fact of the matter is that the sexualisation of totk ganon is done by deliberately playing upon erotic orientalist tropes and this is something that shouldn't be ignored for personal comfort.
so to start. the green skin. im going to quote an article called Greenface: Exploring green skin in contemporary Hollywood cinema by Brady Hammond, which can be summed up by the arguement in the
"article [is] that as overtly racist cinematic depictions associated with real-world skin colors – particularly black skin – have decreased, Hollywood cinema has relocated those tropes onto green skin."
and I agree. I've talked about coding before in relation to loz, and it is no stretch to consider that a character can be representative of some particular demographic(s) without replicating their features in their entirety.
Without doubt it is straightforward to say that ganon represents a brown or black man. The gerudo are heavily inspired by the SWANA region, and not to mention that most of the gerudo indeed have a brown skin tone. botw having lighter and darker skinned gerudo is still representative of the SWANA region and the variety of looks we have there.
and thus coding done with ganon's design - intentional or otherwise - cannot escape the racial implications that ganon is very clearly a brown or black man. which means negative coding that coincides with preexisting racist coding and racial stereotypes will carry those same racist undertones. none of it is undermined by that nintendo is a Japanese company or that this is a fictional world in a video game. deliberate design choices made by real people can't be absolved from racism when it's convenient
to start:
"David Batchelor states that ‘color has been the object of extreme prejudice in Western culture’. This prejudice, he argues, manifests itself by either dismissing color outright as ‘superficial’ or by denigrating it and ‘[making it] out to be the property of some “foreign” body – usually the feminine, the oriental, the primitive, the infantile, the vulgar, the queer or the pathological’."
and
"More importantly, given the ability of the cinema screen to render fantastic spaces and colors it is necessary to consider how characters are represented when they feature an unnatural or even impossible skin color."
the gerudo have always had an orientalist lens laid over them. ganon has always had strong animalistic associations, and has appeared non-human a number of times. this was fine before nintendo retconned him to specifically be a brown man from a group that are explicitly human in the same way that hylians are human and other round-eared people in the loz franchise are human. it is racist to seperate the gerudo exclusively from other human groups as having explicitly non-human characteristics given their prolific role as the first group of brown humans in tloz, and the most foreign and exoticized group of humans.
to give ganon green skin is thusly, a way that implicitly denies his humanity. and it becomes pointed when this primitive and animalistic coding occurs most frequently to the brown man villain. now that totk revived ganon as a humaoid it becomes more pointed that he's denied the same human skintone of the rest of the gerudo, and it's quite frankly upsetting to see this happen and to be glossed over.
more specifically. green has preexisting racist associations for black and brown characters specifically. that is because green has long been used in media to depict the racialised other by linking them with real world negative racist stereotypes. an example given in the article "in Star Trek (1966-1969) when an alien woman of the Orion race dances. Her skin is an emerald green and she is both hyper-feminine and an alien Other." not commented upon but which is more evidence to the racial stereotyping of green skin is that the orion woman is depicted in a distinctly orientalist manner: with a hypersexualized outfit and routine that is reminiscent of belly dancer fantasies. the low light, setting choices, and recurring theme of the slave women dancing provocatively plays upon the western imaginations of the Harem.
as you can see:
other examples of the green other include orcs (with their own swath of racial stereotypes), the grinch, aliens, gremlins, goblins, etc. what often occurs is that green characters are concurrently linked to ethnic stereotypes through coding that is brought together in the fantasy realm by their green skin. that coding may include racism, orientalism, xenophobia, antisemitism, anti-indigenous stereotypes or so on. it is clear that ganon representing a brown/black man brings with it negative coding in the game as the only villain, his animalistic associations, his domineering violence that stands apart from the primarily female gerudo, and as the racialised other. this coding would still exist if he was not green. but it is an affront to dignity to remove the humanity of a brown man by also making him green.
if i have not yet lost you then to wrap up: the fetishizing other. as established with his coding, ganon's humanity is put into question with his design, and he can be linked to the SWANA region. evocative of a harem is the only (violent and dangerous) man from a group of women who are hidden away, and is explicitly a danger to both them and western/hylian rule and ideology.
His imagery is paired with similar design choices made for the gerudo women to sexualize him and invoke imagery of the sexy orient, the beast that can be tamed, and so on. This is done primarily with his torso being bare while he wears gold jewelry, in a way almost reminiscent of chains or cuffs. brown and black men are fetishized through sexualising them as erotic beasts, which is clear to the image that totk ganon's design presents. even the toe rings play into this - as a practice with a long history in India as worn by married women (and men, in Tamil culture).
much akin to the face veil for women, brown and black men are often sexualised through (usually gold) jewelry. specifically (like with the veil) the juxtaposition between their lack of full covering (bare torso is most common) and the abundance of ornamental jewelry. it shows their body as this exotic, decorated prize, where their nudity is highlighted by what they do wear. [this remains true despite the real world groups in the swana region that have traditionally topless outfits for men. that sort of respectful and researched depiction of cultural outfits it not what is happening here, clearly]
[note: there are clear elements of ganon's outfit that have a noticeable influence of the samurai, and the outfit is not exclusively made from one source. however the features of the outfit that i am mentioning, the jewellery, toe ring, even the trousers, are not part of the samurai aspect. it is in conjunction with the other coding and features that ganon having a bare torso becomes anything more significant]
which all goes to say that totk ganon's design continues Nintendo's legacy of racism. He is simultaneously dehumanised and sexualised - which only serves to further his dehumanisation. I am not going to ask for or address his role as a villain, what I want is just a modicum of respect.

"Zapp Gets Canceled" was a mixed bag. Admittedly, I might have unfair expectations--I subconsciously compare every new episode to the original run, like being a little "off" makes an episode bad. The tone was different and didn't quite feel like Futurama, but it would be an OK episode for another series. Maybe I need to let go of the original seasons and take the Hulu revival for what it is.
Regardless, this episode had some confusing moments. I didn't understand why Hermes kept giving Leela the Only Good Employee of the Month award when he's been pretty clear about the fact that he thinks he's the best employee. The DOOP leader tells Leela "We want to show we care about looking like we care about hiring women," but--they DO care about hiring women? Several women work for DOOP, including her. Giving Leela a medal and awards ceremony and then abruptly yelling at her to leave was bizarre, too. What was the point of that ceremony?
Zapp's various crimes were funny and led to some great gags ("It was a different time!" "It was yesterday!" "So you admit it!"), but he's committed so many atrocities that I don't think the writers needed to modernize his behavior with terms like "locker room talk" and "greenface." The script would've been better if Zapp just pulled his usual shenanigans. As others have pointed out, he's seemed less like a bombastic character lately and more like a plot device.
The saving grace is that, like other Hulu episodes, the writers included plenty of sweet moments. The Comedy Central run had episodes that were mean or pointless with no heart to balance the crude writing. In "Zapp Gets Canceled," Fry is so loving that I smiled even though I don't ship Freela. I also loved how Bender insisted on joining them--he's incomplete without his meatbags.
Fry saying "I hope they have a kids center" was cute, too. How can you not love Fry in the Hulu episodes? He's just a big kid!
Additionally, Leela wearing pants while Fry and Bender wore skirts was a great subtle joke. I'm glad the episode didn't ruin it with some "DOOP is making guys wear skirts now because they're WOKE!" line. Maybe Fry and Bender just like wearing skirts.
The episode didn't fall too strongly on either side of the argument--the implication was that Zapp deserved to be canceled, but the writers poked fun at performative "wokeness," too. I didn't gain any new perspectives on cancel culture, but the episode was funny, heartfelt and entertaining. And let's be honest: if this aired during the Comedy Central run, the script probably would've beaten us over the head with "Everything is too politically correct nowadays! Zapp didn't do anything wrong! Greenface is funny!"
Sorry, Zapp, but it's about time that you paid for your crimes.

Forty Days of Frankenstein, Day Two: Today’s image may not look like much, but I find it interesting more for what it represents than what it is. This is a panel from *Tip Top Comics* #97, published in July of 1944. Tip Top, a humor comic, was mainly a vehicle for stories about Al Capp’s Lil Abner character, however a regular backup feature in the book was the adventures of a character called “Bill Bumlin.” He’s … fine, I guess. Not terribly memorable. But in this particular story Bill goes to visit Wilbur Wolfbane, an “old college pal,” from when they attended “Podumbia University” together (class of 1920, if you’re interested), to let him know about their upcoming class reunion. Wilbur, it turns out, is a Mad Scientist™, who’s been laboring away in a pretty good-looking Mad Science Lab™ in an isolated castle on a cliff next to a graveyard. Because of course. In his lab Wilbur has strapped to a slab (well, a table) the body of man he found “half-drowned on the beach six months ago,” and has been working on ever since, using “certain electro-chemico-plasmas.” It’s all fairly agreeable nonsense, and of course it’s time for the creature in question to rise at the exact moment Bill has showed up. Bill fearfully imagines what the creature will look like, and in the process we get today’s image, which is manifestly a Karloff/Pierce-inspired Frankenstein Monster, complete with greenface, flat-head, and one neck-bolt. We also get a couple of other images that, while less directly Frankensteinish, are still inspired by the Universal Pictures franchise which, at the time, was already five films (and three actors) deep into their Frankenstein saga. Of course, the actual creature is nothing like this and mild hilarity ensues. Like I said, it’s not much in itself, but it’s interesting to me the degree to which, in just 13 years (1931-44) the Karloff/Pierce image (not to mention the narrative bric-a-brac that goes with it) had so meme-hacked the culture that, of course, of course, if Bill Bumlin is in this situation, this will be what he imagines:

Why do people want Ganondorf to be brown skinned instead of green skinned when he is an evil villain?
lmaoooo my countdown to this kind of ask was off by a few hours. you lost me a bet, anon!
You could entirely google "green skin stereotypes" yourself and get a wealth of information, but I was feeling especially charitable today, so here ya go!

A message to activists & victims of domestic violence/abuse, as well as the pathetic abusers.
TW:- Talk of domestic violence.
Hi to all my fellow Tumblr's! I recently got a message from someone who wanted to promote a certain YouTuber who apparently is going through some hard times in terms of domestic violence issues. I do not know how to verify if it's true because I myself don't have the appropriate resources to do so, but, as far as my intuition and guesses are concerned, I think it's legitimate, so, below is the copy-pasted message I received:-
hey, can you shine a light on a song called Rendezvous by Green face?
It's about her experience of standing up to her abuser and it's super jazzy and cool and the money made is donated to victims/survivors of abuse.
But because she isn't completely out of the woods herself, it's our job as internet activists to help her get her voice heard. I hope it goes viral so she can escape and more people can be helped.
The official song isn't out yet but here is a part of her song as a rough run-through:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozvvI7dic9o
I won't be posting the name/ username of the Tumblr because I am not sure if they will be comfortable with it as of now.
I checked out the YouTube video myself, and, I have to say, I am impressed with the immense talent she has!!
As a fellow singer, writer, and as a human who believes that domestic abuse and violence of any form is absolutely horrendous, I fully appreciate and support the message being sent through the lyrics of the self-made song Rendezvous by "GreenFace VV"
NOTE:- The song is not mine. I do not own this song. All credits go to the rightful owner, which I believe is "GreenFace VV " on YouTube.
****
Whether violence is physical, mental or emotional, whether it is directed towards an adult or child, and whether it is directed towards a male or female, it is wrong! It is filthy!
If a person abuses you and says that it's for your own good, please, don't believe it. You deserve to be treated better. There are way better ways to handle things in life. Much more pleasant ways and much more correct ways. It's their choice not to treat you well. They are making the choice to hurt you, so please, get away from the relationship as soon as possible. There might be people who ask you to give it time, or that it will get better, but please, if it's hurting you, then it is definitely not good for you! They don't deserve your respect, love, or time if they can't treat you right. I know it's easier said than done, but please, for once, put yourself first.
****
People who abuse, if you're reading this, learn to get a grip over yourself. Stop being pathetic. Stop being so out of control. Stop being evil!
Trying to control someone with your abuse doesn't make you the one in control. It just makes you the person who loses control. Trying to establish that you're stronger than someone by putting them down, is so cowardly of you.
You wanna try showing how strong you are? Do that by fighting against the evil thoughts inside your head that nag at you to use violence against a human.
Stop being cowards and stop being such disgusting animals.
Be humane for god's sake.
Get over your cowardly thoughts and move on. There's no one who is below you. You're not greater. You're not stronger. You're not higher. You're not correct.
