Problems like Jynx being a racist looking Pokemon to Pokemon being too sexually attractive looking. Are any of these controversies actually legitimate though? Let's find out!

    *Facepalm *
    People are so dumb,im a Christian but i love pokemon.
    1-pokemon hasnt made me love Satan or hate god.
    2-Pokemon evolutions arent gonna make anyone belive real life evolution (which isnt even actually against god.)
    3-Nintendo didn't intend any pokemon to be sexual. Its just those weird perverts. Also,the subtle jokes in the anime or games arent gonna inflict a "poisoned" status (bad jokes are bad) on anyones mind. Most kids wont get the joke and if they do their minds are already dirty (..like mine)
    4.Like you said, ludicolo has no negative stereotypes and it isnt racist. And Jinx was based on that fashion style thing.

    • @peeblespebbles5689

      ***** Actually, I think they're getting angry over the pentagram due to it's connections with Wicca. It has a "magical" association in American/Western cultures too.
      The inverted or upside down pentagram has been adopted by satanists, which I think many Christians also find upsetting and get the normal pentagram and the inverted pentagram confused. It's not racist because it's not fueled by race ie they're not saying it's evil purely because it's Japanese or associated with Japanese culture.
      It's fueled by ignorance, but of a different kind.

    I always hate how people freak out about Lopunny. Yea maybe she represents the female form very well, but why is that such an issue? Why does society instantly have to act like its sexy and dirty. Machamp is a very masculine male figure pokemon, but does anyone freak out because he looks like a half naked body builder? NO.
    There is nothing sinful abut the female figure, so stop sexualizing it in your heads so much. It makes you no better than the pokephilia perverts and the sexist jerks.

    Those people who think:
    LUDICOLO = racist
    LOPUNNY = sexy
    KADABRA = satan
    JYNX = racist
    ...they're TRYING to find that stuff, because Pokemon is meant to be friendly. And if Nintendo INTENDED this crap, then they should be held accountable. If NOT, everyone shut their mouths and turn off that exploiting mind of of theirs.

    Actually Lopunny is rather suggestive, if you ever notice when you send one out into battle in Platinum she winks at your screen. Not to mention Lopunny's cry somewhat resembles the stereotypical whistling sound guys make at attractive women. I feel like even Lopunny's idle animation in Pokemon Black+White is rather femine and flirty too.

I am a Christian myself but I dont believe Pokemon is demonic.

    I always thought Ludicolo was based on the Kappa. The Kappa is said to be so obsessed with manners that one way to escape one is to bow, and the kappa will bow back and tip out the water in the plate on it's head which will render it paralysed until the water is refilled. Funny how some people will see things that aren't there.

      You two are so stupid its almost vexing. Ludicolo, as Brandon stated, does not portray any negative stereotypes against Mexicans, therefore it is acceptable. Jynx, if you actually watched Brandon's video, was portrayed as a person in Black face, not an african american. I'm going to make the assumption that you two are too stupid to know what that means, so I'll explain. Black face, is when a white person dresses up as an African American, and exhibit negative stereotypes. And there you have, the difference between the two pokemon

Fuck the blonde hair, Im sick of people acting like they cant see racist shit unless its them being degraded. Btw, I dont think jynx is "supposed" to be racist, when i was twelve i took it as she was a pokemon dressed up in a wig and dress; and her black skin was indicative of her "hiding" behind her costume. And for you to tell someone that they are not allowed to be offended by a fucked up stereotype is ridiculous, Mexican.

    That Pastor's nutty as a fruitcake. It's a freakin' star, not a pentagram. And as for Alakazam's head making a pentagram shape, that's just people seeing what they want to see. Christians also thought Ronald Regan was the anti-Christ because his first, middle, and last name each had 6 letters in it which ended up as 6 + 6 + 6.
    As a Christian myself who loves both Jesus and Pokemon (the former more the latter of course), it ticks me off when people like that pastor slander the franchise, especially on the most illogical grounds possible. He's as loony as the woman who thought Monster Energy drinks were satanic propaganda.

    like you said we were kids we didn't know this chizz. Its only offensive and dirty when the parents are like "oh crap what is that" a five year old isnt gonna at an old sprite ofjynx and think "hey blackface" they're gonna think "who's this creepy faced lady" so IMO its only "wrong" when people make it wrong

    Still couldn't believe the hypocrisy of that Jynx controversy, an obviously Japanese culture completely different and seperate from any American, European connections slandered by them and then censored for being racist?
    Guess it shows those people fighting it are just as small minded and culturally insensitive to other peoples ancestry as the racists they fight.

    • @StarSnowGhost
      @StarSnowGhost 10 лет назад +1

      Actually there's a lot of evidence to say that Jynx was based on blackface-style art, but that the Japanese people who drew this work didn't intend any offense; they were just copying art from the west without knowing the racism attached to it.

    I love your videos, but I have to give one constructive criticism-
    The volume of your voice is quiet, then your transition music between your countdown items is REALLY loud. I almost poo'd my pants the first time I heard it. Could you try, in future videos, to have a better volume balance so the transition music isn't so shocking?
    Thanks, and thank you for the awesome videos!

  • @mercedeswalt6621
    @mercedeswalt6621 7 лет назад +3

    I can believe Jynx was based off of Ganguro. I just wished they actually changed her skin tone to the actual tan and white of the fashion, not that obnoxious purple that makes her look like a gobstopper.

    We live in such a charged society. Being offended is “in” and we all have to conform to the hyper-sensitive standards that we have set for ourselves. It drives me crazy knowing that people expect another culture on the other side of the planet to tip-toe around these issues. Japan doesn’t care about sparing the feelings of the big babies who I’m sure don’t even care themselves.

      Onix is a long, rocky, hard, snake-like Pokémon.
      Cloyster is a dark, slit-like, vertical, damk, Pokémon with a horn on top.
      ...in other words, Onix represents the male genitalia and Cloyster represents the vulva... (According to the fandom, of course :P)

    Three questions: one, so it never crossed the artists/producers' minds that Jynx was bIackface-similar? Two, are Jynx, Electabuzz, and Magmar a trio, like every region's three starter Pokemon or Eevee's three Kanto counterparts? And three, speaking of Electabuzz, would it have been allowed in the P1 of the Punchy Pokemon? Geodude was (and please, don't use the TCG as a reference, because it doesn't exist within the anime).
