hey just wondering why ppl still like game grumps

Hey guys, the grumps are actually taking part in a local tourist attraction, where visitors can dress in Kimonos and have traditional hairstyles. Asakusa is very well known for it, and it’s one of Asakusa’s main draws. This isn’t them in some horrible and gross halloween costume, or at a party. This is them paying money in that country to participate in something that is set up for tourists, being overseen by locals, and it helps fund the local theatres and acting societies in Asakusa. Cultural appropriation is bad, but when groups within that culture sets up up venus that allow you to dress up in traditional garments, then it’s a totally different situation. Japan is also well known for encouraging outsiders to participate in some of their festivals. As for why the dudes are dressed as ladies, the people at Asakusa probably have good senses of humor and agreed to allow them to do that. 

Here, there’s a lot of results about it on google, so pick all the ones you’d like. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=asakusa+kimono+dress+up

So do remember: The grumps didn’t go out of their way to buy clothes like that, wear those elaborate wigs, and put on all of that makeup just for a facebook photo. They’re at a tourist attraction, and those kimono’s are being rented for about three hours or so. And chances are, they were also told a lot about the garments themselves, their meaning, their components, their uses in Japanese culture, their historical relevance, and a whole bunch of other rad educational stuff, being hosted by the locals. 

So repeat after me: If someone in another culture or country creates a venu within that culture or country that allows people who are outside of that culture and country to participate and wear certain clothing, then the participation is no longer inappropriate within the span of that interaction. 

If they’d done this in their own home, that’d be totally different. But they are in a place that’s well known for having a place for tourists to dress up like that. Please remember to take locations into account, and what kind of activities are in those locations, folks. This probably also goes to help fund some of the local theaters that Asakusa is well known for, too.

Fucking.
Blam.

I saw his fucking face peering from below in a adopt blog’s post. I just wonder if dragging his face around other photos will be amusing, so I made him transparent.

So if you ever wanted a transparent Wart Jr. face for some reason, here you go.

So I was one of FOUR transporters.

my name was Mot and Lord Dianite was also a trans. Anywho, we managed to prove ourselves very quick and got mafia to kill themselves and arso to get killed by vet and it was such a huge clusterfuck that the spy had no use other than just knowing how many maf were left. It was a six maf game but damn was it fun to win.

You can clearly tell which ones are the traced ones. And which ones aren’t. Just compare his art, go to his gallery and compare his art.

People couldn’t tell he traced?

jestre I couldn’t because I didn’t know But horse-news is blowing this really high out of proportions. He rarely if ever does so. I know he still does but still. It’s being blowing way out of control.

How is speaking up against someone who is making illegitimate profit out of traced art (which he takes credit for) blowing it out of proportion?

You are telling this to someone who needs money right now.

How do you think people feel when they see that this guy, without putting any hard work into his pieces (other than the hard work of tracing that is) is basically making a living out of it when they are themselves trying to work hard every day to perfect their craft and to maybe SOME DAY be able to make a living out of it?

How do you think they feel when they see a cheater get away with his way? This is how we’ve felt for a while, and thank fuck we are finally able to speak out.

“ He rarely if ever does so“

A) It shouldn't be a thing he does ever if he’s selling it for a profit.
B) An entire SLEW of evidence has popped up that says it’s more common than you think. 
C) He was so blatant about it that he was tracing during a stream. He doesn't care that selling traced art is wrong as long as money can be made off it. 

Drawponies is setting a horrible standard for artists. There are tons of artists like Dennybutt and Al who work their butts off to create high quality art on their own. And Drawponies steals attention and notice from them with 100$ blankets that are traced from clips of the show and smothered in built in photoshop effects. 

That is wrong, and most of all, illegal.
