It's really cracking me up that in her long earnest apology she still messes up the name and says "Annie Mae" instead of "Anna Mae"

Misspoke an "ola mae" Warren g reference imo

Best part about this post is how it implies black people don't watch anime

Haha I thought about making some kind of variation on that but gave up and watched some more anime music videos instead

of course black people watch animes, but it's definitely white hipsters leading the charge in co-opting anime imagery for their art in 2013: i.e., Elite Gymnastics/Dead Girlfriends, Laurel Halo, Oneohtrix Point Never, etc
I mean, yeah Chris Breezy will drop a single cover now and then, but anime/j-pop/etc seems like a very integral part of the predominately white Tumblr-electronics world that Kitty Pryde is assuredly familiar with
― tuostprophets (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 15 December 2013 20:06 (ten years ago) link
This is based on extremely unscientific observations...but my place of employ does give me a somewhat unique view and I think that everyone would be surprised by how wrong the stereotype that black kids aren't into anime/jrpg/street fighter/dragonballz/etc really is

I remember being so surprised at first and feeling kind of ashamed that I was, but especially back when I first started we were still getting more letters still so you could see the postmarks and kids would send pictures because we were still doing a reader top 5 in the magazine each month

Good to know that "co-opting" is going the way of "slut-shaming" via overuse, like it can be applied to anime now?

I love whiney's comment about black people appropriating anime via white people backtracking, conclusively proven by instances of black artists using anime-like imagery

unrelated but w/e
― tuostprophets (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 16 December 2013 01:58 (ten years ago) link
if i have to spell it out, there's
A) black artists influenced by anime (kanye, chris breezy, waka's "bitch call me goku", my diamonds they say pikachu, they say pikachu) because it's a popular cultural artifact like anything else
B) And then there's a specific form of predominatelty white post-Altered Zones Tumblr electronic musician (ie, OPN, Elite Gs, Laurel Halo et al), who use anime imagery for trangression/internet points/#feels that predated like Flatbush Zombies or w/e.
I might have been projecting, but I assumed Kitty Pryde was excited that Jay-Z said "anime" because he was slumming in it her world of Young Tumblr people, just like the entire blogoverse shit their pants when Jay Z showed up at a Grizzly Bear show like that validated a predominately white scene
