I’m a traditional artist. I do all my pictures in black & white. I can understand the frustration. It’s not original art. If I seen a colored version of my art online without my consent, I’d feel like someone’s just stealing my work.

[@Pirates.27]

Because it is stealing.. You can't just color someones work and then tell you drew it.

[@LangkeeLongkee]

The difference is you're an individual artist, not someone with a published manga. Or I assume you are, and if you do have published, printed books out there, and someone was to colour your work and state that they had in fact coloured your work, you need to get over yourself.

[@Pirates.27]

@@LangkeeLongkee I don't see any difference.. You saying a person no longer can demand ownership of their work if they are successful enough to publish a manga? How so?

[@Pirates.27]

I would argue that mangakas need to protect their work even more than other artists because they have to watch over their image - as stated in the video, people could think the author of the manga was the one to color it and it could drag him down if it was not done properly.

[@LangkeeLongkee]

@@Pirates.27 no I'm saying a fan colouring an image from a book and showing while fully acknowledging they coloured an image from your book cause they like you is not the same as finding a small independent artist and doing something with their work they personally dislike. Its different for the same reason posting screenshots from an animated film without credit isn't the same as posting an individual artist's work. I'm not stealing cause my profile picture on social media is an illustration of a manga character from the official manga, but if it was some ra dom Tumblr artist who didn't like their work used as profile pictures or reposted, that would be completely different. When you create a public work like a book, you do lose some level of that work belonging to JUST you. Like movies. Someone making their own little flick is fine, and you're stealing if you do anything personal with that. However a piece of star wars films belongs to the fans too.

[@libraryoflilylol199]

The q-tip ear one is most interesting because you should NEVER put a q-tip in your ear, but everyone does it anyway. So is the purpose of the piece a statement on sex being something you should never do, but people do anyway? Or is it because the artist thinks q-tips belong in ears? Or is it purely because many people like the feeling of cleaning our their ears with q-tips? There are so many possible interpretations. I'm not generally a fan of sex-themed art, but that first lady's art is actually very interesting.

[@G_zuz]

She explained it, something about being bothered by men justifying having multiple partners while vilifying women that do the same by saying things like "a key that opens many door is valuable while a door that is opened by many keys isn't".

[@impposter560]

Yeah, he was rude, but its HIS art. Being inspired by something is different from taking what already exists as a completed work and changing it. And I have heard people whining about how manga looks like a coloring book, or unfinished, so I can see how having an already complete work "finished" by a stranger would be irritating. If the colorist respects the OG artist at all, he should respect his feelings on the matter too and take it down

[@pika_imposter]

Well considering he was pretty rude and cold about it I'm not suprised and it seems to be more on him to being narrow minded and not actually knowing how fanart works cuz the French guy was literally doing it as a form of endearment to show appreciation cuz that's how almost all fanart is about and I doubt there'd be confusion since the dude said it was fanart not stolen yknow. While I am aware of japan having a different culture and loki seeming pretty backwards to most of the world that doesn't mean that ppl in japan are sheltered little kids who live in north Korea cuz I'm sure we all live in different parts of the world but have familiarized ourselves with other cultures at one point so everyone and yes that includes Japanese and french ppl to try and be more understanding and while respect can go along way no one should have to expect it from strangers really cuz that sounds like more of an ego problem tbh cuz no one owes it to anyone really it's up to the individual if they really want to and if they don't better to just ignore em and good on the Japanese artist if he does. As for that French artist bro did nothing wrong with his fanart and ended up getting disrespected by someone acting like an entitled Karen tbh who couldn't get off his high horse probs enforcing the belief that he should never meet his heroes and while the og Japanese artist did set a good clear boundary his delivery left much to be desired especially coming from a country that has a culture heavily surrounded by the mentality of being formal and respectful which was a bit douchey considering he critiques a fans work for filth unprovoked when there wasn't anything really wrong with it and while the fan realistically had no reason to take down his stuff if he didn't want to and felt proud of his work it was dumb of him and other French artists go around doing the same thing of coloring over his stuff just to spite the Japanese artist knowing he didn't like it which honestly makes the whole situation seem senseless and petty on all sides. It would be nice if everyone had a lil more respect for each other and their work but that just not the case and if that case for some reason makes Japanese ppl think all "foreigners" are just rude and disrespectful then that's on them for having that narrow mindset that just continues to fosters the xenophobia that looks like has been bring up there for a while now cuz ppl in japan and outside of it have to learn that not everyone grew up in the same environment and culture and learned to interact differently and that no group of ppl are a monolith no matter ur experience just cuz u notice a similar trait when someone else can tell u differently through theirs and I feel like some ppl outside of japan really should try being more willing to try and understand where ppl in japan are coming from as well if they ever wanna get over misunderstandings or dumb online disputes like this.

[@okand9213]

The main part that confuses me with the whole Yasuke situation is the fact that mainly the people outraged aren’t even Japanese… when this was trending like two or three weeks ago there were a lot of Japanese people confused on the outrage around Yasuke because there are a lot of books and mangas that feature or is about him. They even went on the official Ubisoft for Japan and all the comments under the trailer started with “I’m (not a Japanese person) but I deeply apologize for this cultural appropriation” and it’s like??? A literal descendant of a Samurai came to the defense of yasuke so all this outrage is literally just plain racism nobody cares about Japanese culture they just want to be mad at something.

[@sabaoempo2320]

If it was a white guy nobody would even care lol

[@impposter560]

I know very little about Assassins Creed, but that guy who was talking about how what you can do with Yasuke being limited doesn't make sense because didn't they have like, da Vinci in one of the games? And he built war machines or something while working with assassins? If it WAS da Vinci and I'm not just confused, then that means theres already a precedent for AC wildly misrepresenting well documented historical figures and making things up about them. But maybe he wasn't a playable character so that makes it different somehow, I don't know. My brain hurts😓

All i want is a good story and a good gaming experience, so whether its yasuke or a shinobi ninja, idfc its not their appearance that matters, its about whether i like their characters, lives and story 😭 i was so happy when they dropped a game about japan, about a ninja in an assasins game and that i knew yasuke and was like, thats so cool, but twitter has to find reasons to be angry 😭 just ignore it if u feel offended, its clearly not your target Group

True, people are complaining that you can't play as a japanese dude when the majority of the samurai games have that option as the mandatory.

remember: if someone says no, then its no! the mangaka perfectly stated his issues with the colored version so the whole debacle wasn't even his doing to begin with, I know artists being sorta cold with you makes you feel sad and angry at them, but its totally justified when you, the mangaka, has drawing experience (sketching, coloring etc.) and they, probably do not, so why??

From what I heard in most of the prior games of Assasins Creed you weren't playing as historical characters, just fictional ones, which in itself makes it harder to be able to create a story around ig (although, at least in my opinion, I'm pretty sure they made it be a historical character this time to prevent the controversy of misportraying history or whatever, to try to validate this choice to others or smth). While I do think DIE had some effect in this choice, the controversy is way overblown, and frankly compared to the pricing scandal this is really meaningless, the game itself isn't even out yet as far as I'm aware.

I don't know where have you been looking, but majority of Japanese people HATED that after waiting for their turn to be represented in AC game, only to make a non-Japanese character to be the main playable one.

I’m so used to people especially fans respecting the crap out of their artists so when it comes to coloring their lined work if the original artists doesn’t like it I would stop because that’s my favorite artist not disregard their wishes because everyone else is doing it. The original artist clearly didn’t see everyone else do it probably because they didn’t tag him like this particular fan did. Clearly this fan isn’t really fan if they’re willing to keep the post up after the artist told them to take it down.

As a french people, I had reread the tweet for the issue at 5:55, and well, in France we have some law that allow some twist in intellectual properties as long we don't use it as commercial usage, it was really weird to explain as it was different from Japan... We have a right of parody and uh, many things, and it was really too long to explain ahah. But as I seen the message from Twitter and the response, it was also the fault from the initial tweet, it should have been more explicit in what it was and which meaning, to clarify the situation. I guess both have their wrong :( ! Not being aware of how work both laws in the country both live in...

[@sina3003]

Thanks for this information, really interesting :)

[@satamiko]

No, both are not wrong. The wrong person is the one that takes another's property and uses it as they want. This property isn't authorised to be used, the character is public, not the art the person makes. Even if the laws are different, this is literally just human decency. And the laws should apply via the author's country not the other's.

[@clann_was_here]

@@satamiko In fact, few things like that had happened in the past for few parody, one knew as CDZA in France, made with Saint Seiya. Or Chevalier du Zodiaque Abrégé. It was like a reddub and made for parody. With some clip from the anime... Of course it was different from the drawing there. But in France we have a grey area concerning some topics : - parody - fanart - usage of some images - and more... Like many laws addressing the problem of property of images (yeah) And I assure you, if you are in France, you are under French law juridiction. And if you were in Japan, under their laws. And so on.

[@satamiko]

@@clann_was_here That is not how it works, buddy. Pirating one thing in one country can be still sued for towards a person outside of the country if the property's rights are there in the original country. Parody and fanart are different. Redubbing something for parody is use of public image, not a personal work. Anything made for big anime series and more is technically "public use", but anything drawn outside of said thing is personal. You can't go take a disney logo and use it inappropriately no matter what country you are in because it is a property from a country that has copyright law over it. You can't plop down an image of a mickey mouse onto something while coloring it in different and thinking you'll be fine if you'd post it online. But this situation wasn't even about law tbh.

[@blackxrosary]

@@satamiko Clank is right about the international copyright law.

Radical feminists will call themselves "terfs" because it's the word that was made up by anti-radfems to label them, not because they actually think it's a fitting moniker, and it's used sarcastically or as kind of a reclamation of the term, like an autistic person calling themselves a "retard" for example, or a gay person calling themselves a "sinner." Radical feminism is not "trans exclusionary," it's just that radical feminism rejects the idea that the concept of gender is even something that should exist in the first place, because gender was invented as way to help enforce patriarchy and is a product of patriarchal thinking, so it has no place in a truly equal society (this is what "gender critical" means if you've ever heard that term, it's literally being critical of the notion of gender). So naturally when people say, "actually, gender is *all* that womanhood is, so we can't get rid of gender because that would mean getting rid of our ability to categorize people as male/female/other," radical feminists say that that is absurd and is basically just supporting and reinforcing patriarchy, which partially relies on the notion of gender in order to function. Defining womanhood as just gender is also reducing womanhood to sex sterotypes (i.e. ideas like "women wear dresses" and "women are sexually submissive") and/or a nebulous, unfalsifiable notion of "gender essence" that people feel but which can't be explained in scientific or sociological terms, and which is only ever defined either in reference to one's conformity to sex stereotypes (i.e. "a woman is anyone who acts feminine and looks feminine and likes feminine things") or else in a self-referential manner that quite literally means nothing (i.e. "a woman is anyone who identifies as a woman"). So why do radical feminists care if some people want to define womanhood based off of sex stereotypes or personal identity, or wish to divorce it from any kind of actual meaning altogether? Well, to start with, the notion that womanhood has anything to do with performing femininity is sexist, and "woman = feminine" is exactly how misogynistic conservatives view womanhood, but the main reason is that the whole point of feminism is to address the oppression of women, and women are oppressed because of what kind of body they have, not because of how they act, or how they identify, or how they feel on the inside. Any time a male person who presents in a feminine way experiences misogyny, it is because *femaleness* is detested to the point that femininity is detested by proxy, via its association with the female, or else because he is mistakenly assumed to be female. The root of misogyny is always hatred of the female no matter how it manifests or who it is directed towards. You can't fight misogyny if you are unwilling to acknowledge that the root of it is and always has been male people oppressing female people on the basis of their being female. To argue that women as a social class exist because of how they identify, and that men oppress women because of their personal gender feelings, is just outright history revisionism. It's basically making the claim that sexism does not exist and has never existed. And that is just not factual to the reality of human history and the relationship between men and women as social classes throughout it, up to and including the present day. Ask yourself who serves to benefit from women being led to believe that misogyny is not actually rooted in the hatred of the female sex.

Even if that wasn’t something in the manga, the animators don’t decide what’s in the show. They animate based on a storyboard, which based on a script.

idk how I feel about the first artists work and it's not because of the nudity but that it seems to me that all the women in the paintings are reduced to their reproductive organs, sex, and bearing children which seems to be the opposite of radical feminism just by judging the few paintings i've seen. Also the figures seem to have a lack of expression which looks intentional but for me it feels to be lacking something. Even the painting with all the men seem to lacking something and just reduces them to their meat. Even the painting with the massive sausage ball doesn't convey all the nuance that the caption had.

[@avawetzel3408]

Radical feminism often seems contradictory in that way, like, it talks about women not having to be forced to be mothers and whatnot which is true but it also says that your sex determines your gender. Through radical feminists saying this, that sex determines your gender, they often put a lot of emphasis on those sex characteristics, meaning there ends up being a lot of emphasis on things like that. I've seen a lot of radical feminists define womanhood as like, having XX chromosomes and a womb, and that in itself excludes a lot of cis women from womanhood, not to mention the obvious transphobia and anti-intersex sentiment.

[@LilyLavender-h9q]

[@86fifty]

3:23 - I think I have a perspective worth hearing on this. As a trans(tm) myself, I'm sad, yes, because she would speak hate to me if she saw me, and saw my scars. And she's so confident, no amount of public shaming would get her to recant this position. So it's tempting to completely block and ignore her, for mental health protection reasons. But on the other hand - that's Legit Important Art she makes, that's really strong creativity, that speaks truth to power, that is a minority voice. So to block someone with something worth hearing, just because it's not 100% what we agree with, seems a bit short-sighted of us. Like, someone can hold A FEW intolerant beliefs and not be FULL of hate - it's a spectrum. But it's also a slippery slope. In order to come back from that whirlpool, one has to be able to admit when they are wrong. Extremely high self-confidence can be a real barrier to this... (See JKR's spiral) I just hope she can maintain her focus on who exactly is the enemy (patriarchy) and who most deserves to be made uncomfortable with her art - the men in power. Because punching UP is important. People in power deserve to be made uncomfortable, because their comfort is based on our pain. Punching DOWN just causes people without power, without responsibility, to suffer MORE unjust and unproductive demands to change... It's just like incels, at that point. Turfs and incels both chose a false solution that wouldn't actually fix the legit real problem they've identified. They got distracted. Everyone gets distracted from time to time. The important part is the ability to come back from it. That's what I hope for, for her.

I will never listen to a terfs opinion on gender ever because they are so completely wrong. Her art focuses on women all having vaginas and giving birth and shit. Her terfism is infecting her art and her message is one of hatred. Being trans doesnt stop you from being transphobic. - a trans man

The fact that Yasuke existed doesnt exclude the fact that they used him to be "more inclusive". Ubisoft never really made an actual historical figure the MC of their franchise, it was always just some guy created specifically for the game so I dont understand why they didnt just make some random samurai that served under Oda Nobunaga and maybe added Yasuke as a side character

Wait, why am I hearing angry birds music in the background 😨

Honestly the first artist’s work is actually really interesting, not my personal style but still creative. It’s a shame they had to be such a transphobe 😔

I was a fan of Letitia's work until the TERF stuff became prominent. I'm hoping one day her point of view changes but she's someone who takes offense to people even asking about pronouns. I actually understand where she is coming from as what she said was that black women get labeled masculine as her reason, it's still unreasonable to be angry over a courtesy question. As well, I have some issues with her calling a British white woman who doesn't research when writing other cultures and has a colonial bent her "Queen." It just became more Queer unfriendly over time which is a shame. I really like the Rat Tail image as a commentary on podcasts like Fresh n Fit.

I used to draw weird stuff like that but after being forcibly committed to figure out "what's wrong with me" i just gave up to make boring acceptable art instead 🙄 this was 20 years ago tho. Now i follow weirdo artists because I hate basic ass boring art.

to the guy complaining about yasuke: jesus was not a white man

[@kelseycoleman8068]

I’m sick of how people are treating artists these days

[@VictoriaWilder13]

Would 100% buy that first artist's work. It's bound to be considered classic in the next century. Don't love the whole terf thing (if it's the same person), but many of our most known and studied artists were dreadful people, so...I'd still want the art after she's gone.

2:31 …I HEAR NO WORDS😨 JUST MUSIC

[@mangoes4macey]

10:07 - Personally, I’d get upset if someone took my art and colored it in 🤷‍♀️

[@Artemissia]

What happened to being curious and trying something and then making an assessment afterward versus prejudging without even learning more about what it is...(Most of these people causing the drama are prejudiced AF!)

[@Rogue0Thoughts]

I like the first artist's work, but I don't roll with terfs. Definitely not rooting for them, and if you are, guess it's time for me to unsub.
