There's a joke that I completely removed from this video and I shouldn't have and now I'm mad!!
Show Notes:
This one's been a long time coming!
I touch on it briefly in this video, but Windblade was a figure that I've been keenly watching for some time now. In fact, I remember fighting with people online over her design when I just started my current job.
I generally try to avoid these kinds of things on KZbin, but I'm a very opinionated person on Twitter. I'm very anti-censorship, and the backlash from certain fans (though mainly one infamous ringleader in particular) leading to Windblade receiving a slight overhaul really frustrated me.
Taking about sexuality in the Transformers fandom can be kind of a touchy subject. A lot of people take a very puritanical stance, asking why mainly fembots have secondary sex characteristics and finding that not only ridiculous, but unnecessary and needing to be changed.
And I don't agree, wholeheartedly. I think those types of people mainly want to exert whatever social power they can over others just to get their way, and constantly incite problems and controversy to create opportunities to do so.
And this video is kind of my way of fighting back against that. I wanna show Hasbro, Takara, and Flame Toys that these kinds of figures are not only acceptable, but celebrated!
I'm sort of walking a fine line. It's an inherently political conversation, and again, here on KZbin with my videos, I try my best to avoid those kinds of things, because generally I want my videos to be accessible to many people. But maybe sometimes we need to separate the wheat from the chaff.
