That wasn't very cash money of you, Tumblr.

I haven't been in the fan discussions of Otherside Picnic much at all, so I'm curious as to whether there's been real analysis of Kozakura as a disabled character. She is disabled. I think the commonplace nature of "loli" type characters in light novels, manga, and anime has desensitized a lot of us to that fact, but Otherside Picnic actually treats Kozakura looking like a child as a legitimate thing that impacts her life in logical ways. She's 4'7", which is well within the range that is considered a medical condition, and (more importantly) is absolutely something that affects her in day-to-day life. Little details like the fact that she stashes her shotgun at floor level rather than somewhere high, or how winded she gets trying to keep up with the also not athletic Sorawo for a brief walk.

Once again Xavier Brunson¹ has called South Korea "a dagger" in the heart of East Asia, and Japan "a shield" on a podcast for US Army War College, a repeat of a similar incident from last year. Although Japan's far-right LDP hasn't put out a statement yet, South Korea's right-wing² Democratic Party of Korea has condemned the comment, with PRC joining in. It's clear that the people of the region want peace and stability, but the USA desires nothing but to use its neocolonies as weapons. It also bears noting that for as much innocence-chasing as Yanks of Color do on this website and elsewhere on the anglophone 'net, Xavier Brunson is, very much, racialized at home as an African American, but his racialized status at home did not stop him from callously referring to the United States' supposed allies as weapons to be used against their neighbors at the USA's beck and call. If only the myth of sending the disadvantaged, racialized portions of the empire caused a more compassionate occupation forces was true!
