The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: “Since bigots are mad about Kelly Marie Tran’s role in the new #StarWars we’re going to teach them a lesson with our own new trailer.”
I’M SCREAMING. I HAVE NO WORDS. THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL. THIS NEEDS TO BE SEEN. TAG ALL THOSE FUCKERS IN IT. STEPHEN YOU ARE A LEGEND
“Shut the hell up, you broken hateful dweebs” is the battle cry of a generation.
I heard a great disturbance in the force and suddenly millions of butthurt fanboys cried out in protest.
just saw Incredibles 2 and it was great! however (no spoilers), there’s quite a few scenes with flashing lights and potentially headache-inducing visuals. i didn’t hear about it beforehand, so im sure some others haven’t either.
That’s a good question! Not sure if I’m the best person to answer it but I’ll try! Legally speaking, I believe that both are considered unlicensed/knockoff, unless the artist has actually licensed the property or sold their work to the licensor. The big difference is that an artist is making just a few plushes with materials that have been safety tested, whereas factories are churning them out by the hundreds and bypassing safety testing. I read an article a while back where over 500,000 bootleg Pokemon plush were confiscated in South Korea.
Most but not all big companies overlook artist plushes and ‘allow’ the sales of them because it’s just not worth the effort to legally pursue every fan artist out there. The factories making thousands of bootlegs can really hurt the profits of a company so they’re usually shut down pretty quick but a lot of knockoff merch still makes it into the market.
I guess it basically comes down to what your ethics are. Some people don’t like and will not buy fanart of any type while other people collect it.
Honestly I can’t believe that I’m watching this right now. This is This is the sweetest most gentle and loving and pure thing I’ve ever beheld and I feel so blessed to have seen this
