Golp: a roundel purpure.

Roundels are circles in heraldry. They are named according to their color, which also has its own lingo. Let’s meet them!

Bezant: roundel or (gold) 🟡

Plate: roundel argent (silver) ⚪️

Torteau: roundel gules (red) 🔴

Pomme: roundel vert (green) 🟢

Hurt: roundel azure (blue) 🔵

Golp: roundel purpure (purple) 🟣

Pellet: roundel sable (black) ⚫️

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

First reverse image search from the donations page pic

The one that helped me most was This blog post, translated it says the artists name and the character name (Kano, but it doesn't give me enough to go from)

The artist 斑马MU has a Pixiv account and posts on Bilibili, an app that mostly only has Chinese users. So I downloaded that and...

Of course the original image was taken down. No problem, what if I search in this new app for the character name?

Ah, discourse posts, of course. Some of which were made before the picture was removed. And so I give you

Oh, tasteful!! (And an adult, which I wasn't always certain about tbh). AND This is what the character usually looks like
