"As far as putting the Tsum Tsums alongside the regular heroes, the Marvel Universe has successfully incorporated toy lines into its history before. Plus there’s already a talking duck. The Tsum Tsums should be able to fit right in alongside all that craziness."
I realize that comics have been used to hock toys, food, and tandy computers for decades (and more than one comic series was born specifically to SELL toys), but for some reason, this irks me waaaay more than it should.
It's probably due to the fact that I work in a toy store and I have to sell these damn things.
I feel the same way when it's too blatant. Pokémon in Pokéballs was obviously intended to sell capsule toys, but it still made enough sense in-story that I didn't mind. But the magic battle cards of Yu-Gi-Oh and the magic battle tops of Beyblade annoyed me to no end.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
