Slave Leia furor

[bigbisont]

My theory: The guy is a plant!

We all know slave Leia has been a peg warmer for 2 years now. It is the most 'un-sold' figure in the line. All of the sudden...some slob with no sense comes along. Makes a complaint. Gets WAY too much TV time for what they complaint was about...

THEN BOOM! Panicked buyers fear it will be pulled from shelves and there is a massive bump in slave Leia sales. Demand is high again and interest in the 'black series' reaches the overage joe who never cared about the line before. Win Win for Hasbro and Disney.

At least that is what I hope happened. The alternative is our society is going to crumble because ignorant morons would rather complain something away when they don't 'get it' instead of educate themselves first in order to raise their own children.

Unreal...comparing a sci-fi toy to a symbol that stands for white superiority. Check your privilege. You could of talked about the Native American genocide being wiped out of school history books instead, that's sanitizing.

For christsake...blow it out your ass.

A lot of comics tell racists jokes. They are the few left that can get away with not being PC.

Comics have always been criticized by some for not being politically correct. Once you take away the comic's ability to go as far as they want to, you take away the comedy. Good comedy is often not for the squeamish.

They'll pull it from the shelves like they did with the Heisenberg figure and then people will be scrambling to buy it and prices will increase.

Some of these figures should just be put into a separate section for adult collectors. All of the Walking Dead line and Aliens merchandise should also be put into an adult section. This way people can't complain about them being marketed towards children.

This is a very risky strategy though, you risk bringing up all the crazies. The breaking bad ban kind of opened the doors to the other crazies to complain about other things

Yup. Have to say, it's very, very rare to see a certain level of stupidity on this board that should warrant a permaban.

^ I think it speaks volumes about these people's prejudices far more so than the artists who created the characters that they would read these things into something so harmless without the slightest hint of irony.

My Minions are transgender. How dare they call them sexist!
