Retrospring is shutting down on 1st March, 2025 Read more
As someone playing League (we all have our flaws) and not watching Arcane, I just wanted to let you know if you didn't already but Butch Enforcer's VA is a diehard Zionist and Riot is heavily guilty of associating themselves with Zionists up to this day, with one of their most popular content creator being a vocal "Israeli" who has no issue being openly Islamophobic and racist on all of her socials since forever. And obviously, she hasn't been removed from their program because they're just huge turds. They also recently laid off a bunch of their workers, most of them being artists for them, without telling them beforehand. It happened last year as well with more than 500 people being laid off without an explanation or a head up, many of them discovering they lost their job because people on Twitter talked about it, and some fearing having to return to their home country which wasn't safe for them due to conflicts and/or war. Arcane in itself isn't bad and I think you might enjoy several themes brought up in it a lot but since I haven't seen many people talking about these issues on Twitter outside of people involved in League of Legends as a game/for the lore, I feel like you might not dislike knowing that. Obviously this isn't a message telling you to not watch it but rather to keep in mind how a series adored by many stems from no consideration of people, which is a shame because I wish people would remember that!
thank you very much for giving me such a detailed heads up my friend, i haven't mentioned it in a while but literally the main reason why i didn't watch the first season was because it was released in the midst of one of riot's many sexual assault lawsuits and many others also decided to forgo giving it viewership for that reason. almost every single large media company in the US has ties to the zionist regime as an extension of our military so it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that riot falls in that bracket.
i know everyone's having a good time with arcane rn so i don't always like to be the party pooper either, but i think everyone is better equipped to engage with american media when we can identify the shitty connections of the people behind the scenes.
