This is Disgusting: #ArbysWaifu

We get it Arbys. You want to get down with the cool crowds and have us buy your burgers. Wendys did it with their #wendysroast, and all the companies were eager to hop on the iHob hate bandwagon. Companies are adapting to their new market and as a result attempt to be ‘hip’ with memes, referencing pop culture , and millennial humor. People fall for it, but you know what? That’s fine. I may be a bit annoyed, but not mad.

But this. This is crossing the line.

There are just so many things wrong with this #arbyswaifu stuff.

The company knows what they are trying to do with creating a loli-like waifu, because the internet responded accordingly. The world wide web houses some of the most lustful people that don’t mind sexualizing minors, and if the art shown above doesn’t convince you then either you  . I mean good lord you cannot deny this when Shad “internet infamous for drawing porn of underaged girls” Man shows up on your thread.

It disgusts me that a big name company would be fine not only with disregarding the age of consent when it comes designing female mascots for their perverted consumers to fawn over & then buy their burgers, but that they are okay with profiting from such gross conducts. I wouldn’t be so upset about this if it wasn’t for the fact that their ‘waifu’ is initially portrayed as very childlike. And NO don’t give me that ‘it’s just in a chibi style’ BS, if that’s the case why didn’t they bother drawing her in proportions that of a 54 year old women like they claimed? Why did they deliberately decide to first portray her someone that passes as a toddler? It’s the same argument when closeted anime pedos say that it’s okay that they want to bone what is basically a kid because they are 1000 years old or whatever. 

It doesn’t change the fact that they still want to bone someone who still has the body of a kid, and that’s problematic because you don’t bone someone who still doesn’t have the ability to consent yet. The mere fact that you are somehow attracted to people who look like kids is in itself problematic. These kinds of people deserve to be in jail.

Also, because I know some people are going to say ‘it’s just a drawing so you shouldn’t get so offended about it lol XD’, first of all, that doesn't change the fact that what is basically child porn is being drawn. And secondly, NO, that is incorrect, there have been many, MANY examples of fictional media, which include drawings and art, having an impact of people. From children televisions shows like Sesame Street, to more mature literature like Animal Farm, they have been shown to haven an impact on their audience. Kids learn moral lessons from kid programs, and some pieces of writing have challenged and/or questioned the norms.

With the trend of #arbyswaifu, it insinuates the idea that it is okay for this female girl still in the body of a child to be labeled as ‘waifus’ for people to get attracted to. And with these gross art of Arby’s waifu, it insinuates the idea that the sexualization of minors is okay and acceptable. AND IT’S NOT. So stop using this lame excuse to defend pedos to keep drawing child pornography. 

And to Arbys, I just want to know why. What prompted you to do this. You didn’t seem to be failing as a company, and you were already gaining a massive following with your other famous advertising stunts. I mean jesus christ look at the cardboard cutout art you guys made, those are genuinely impressive and people loved it! It garnered a lot of attention and made your brand look more cooler with what you are capable of creating with fast-food. No one minded that this is all still a stunt to so people would develop a positive outlook on your company because we were all too busy being amazed by these kind of art! 

I believe it takes lots of time and talent to create these, and the positive reaction you received from this reflects that. So WHY? Who thought it was okay to go from these masterpieces to casually sexualizing kids for the pervy internet? Like literally just make your Arbys ‘waifu’ an actual adult and I wouldn’t even be this upset about it!!!

Ugh. It is way too late for this anyways, I’m just so freaking disappointed and upset that with each passing day, pedophilia seems to be normalized more and more on the internet. It is absolutely disgusting. Rest assured that I’m definitely not going to Arby’s anymore, it’s not like the food there is any good anyway. If you support Arbys and their hella gross trend, kindly unfollow me this instant.

“Everybody deals with something” isn’t an appropriate response to disability. Having a disability doesn’t preclude us from facing other obstacles in life. We still might grow up poor or in abusive households. We still might face discrimination based on our race or sexuality. We still might have to face any and all of the challenges that abled people face, but with the added limitations of our disabilities. It’s time that this reductive and problematic saying is retired.

I feel like today’s society isn’t accepting of allowing people to change. Like we all LOVE being “woke” and shit but when someone with a platform who has a past of being problematic (but not intentionally), tries to change and learn and progress-we don’t validate it. It’s ridiculous. We can’t preach about educationg yourself on racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. and then get mad when those who would say things partaining to such realize their faults and try to change.

Back when i lived in this white-ass racist town with republican parents I had views that I’d now say are racist/homophobic/etc. That was because that’s what was taught to me and I was never shown another side and I never thought to look it up and social media wasnt even a big thing yet. I only had the people around me to go off of and those weren’t very educated people. It took creating a tumblr account and college to realize how a lot of my views were stemmed from racism or whateverthehell. I have learned, i have been someone to make my family more “woke” on a lot of topics. I realized that I’m a bisexual trans dude in the process of it.

We need to learn empathy. If someone were to have a recording of something i said when i was 16 that was problematic I’d bloody hate for that to be the thing i live under. For THAT to be people’s impression of who I am. I am not the person I was even a MONTH ago. Drastic changes happen, we change DAILY. People can be the biggest homophobe one month and going to pride in celebration the next month. People can CHANGE. They can own up to their shit- they can own up to saying and thinking problematic things and learn from it.

Let’s not create a society that doesn’t allow people to feel validated in trying to become better. I’ve listened to friends get indoctrinated by lowkey racist and homophobic ideals by their families and its insane how deep that can go. I’ve had friends who took only a few articles to change their minds and realize their problematic ways. But ive also had friends who took a bit longer to come around.

I dont want this to sound like im sitting here saying “forgive all problematic assholes!” No. I’m saying give the people who are clearly making a change and becoming helpful members of society and joining the conversation a chance. There’s always going to be exceptions to this-some shit you just can’t forgive and I understand that and there are people I can’t forgive. All i’m asking is that we recognize that other people are allowed to become “woke” even if their past depicts the opposite of that.

Is that too much to ask? I remember when people just disagree to agree when it came to ships, or that slash fans had no problem treating the creators of their shows with respect even if their paring didn’t become canon, or that people just ignored fanart they didn’t like because this is the internet where every artist is allowed to express themselves, and if you dont like it you can say it without trying to imply or calling the artist a homophobic, racist,  trans-phobic bigot.  

But nope we live in a world where a fan tried to poison an artist at a convention because she drew fanart of a ship she fond problematic, we live in a world where fans harass an  artist over genderbend art and then even insult the creators who tried telling them to calm down and not bully said artist while ignoring the fact the creators are part of the GLBTQ community too, We live in a world where slash fangirls tried to blackmail the creators to make their gay  ship canon or else they would leak scenes from the newest season online, we live in a world where fans harassed a bisexual writer of the show and accusing her of queer baiting to the point she was left her twitter account,  we live in a world where its okay to send death threats towards an artist for a chubby drawing a character ‘’skinny’’ 

wtf fans?

sorry for the Bad english and bad quality I made this in rush, and I have no idea what the correct size should be for strips on tumblr ugh I link to the DA version soon.
