(Rant) Why the hate against High Guardian Spice isn't deserved

 This is a bit more of a rant, so be warned!

So, earlier this week, an animated series came out that I really ended up liking. It was light, fluffy, and it was like it was embracing you the entire time, telling you that you're valid. However, people were not too kind to the show, because it was western animation on an anime streaming service. 

The show in question, of course, is High Guardian Spice. When it was first announced, I was part of a different crowd, and people were raising pitchforks at it, and most of their arguments, when you come down to it, fall flat. They have this idea where they think all anime is inherently better than western animation, which proves that either they have no actual taste, because believe me, there are plenty of bad anime out there (Chargeman Ken, anyone? What about the original version of Ghost Stories?), and there's plenty of good western animation out there. I think HGS falls into the "good western animation" group I'm talking about here.

You see, part of this notion of theirs is due to the oversaturation of bad western animation. There are good western animated series, but they are often overlooked and a lot just get cancelled because either the viewers or the corporations don't like it. This doesn't means the series are bad, this means that people think that because other series are bad, those series must therefore be bad too, which is a terrible way to view things, if I'm quite honest.

Plus, there's the other side of the coin. For some reason, fans of anime seem to show more misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, and sometimes even racist views. They don't like when minorities are properly represented in animation, because it breaks their strange illusion that those things are just tropes, when they're very much not, and only are because of the way the way the companies making said animation view said minorities, which are often in a negative light, which is a whole issue in itself.

It should be noted that the western animation industry often is even worse about trans or LGBTQIA+ representation than their eastern counterparts, as a lot of the times, if a cartoon shows positive representation of these, the company will shorten or outright cancel the run of said show. As such, only a few cartoons ever do it, and High Guardian Spice is one of them. From what I've seen, it's not fans of western animation that typically are against them being shown, it's the big corporations, the rich white men behind the scenes. As such, shows that do things like HGS does are usually seen in a positive light by fans of western animation. They're not the ones trashing the show, after all.

What is my point of talking about any of this? I think it's because shows like this from any country only come about so often, and very few have done quite as much as HGS has. I don't think the vast mob of hate against it is at all justified. It's not even the first western cartoon that managed to get on an anime streaming service, but nobody complained about the other few.

Overall, you should definitely watch High Guardian Spice. Maybe it will open up your cold, cold hearts.

Sincerely,

Zoey, a trans woman sick of people's nonsense.

New Page, a bit about my life, and an added bonus!

 I am working on a way to make my old let's plays from before I was the Auragirl111 more accessible, so I have decided to test out having a page for them! Currently, you can only find the 2013 let's play of Attack of the Killer Space Cows, but if this works out, I may add more!

As for me, I haven't been feeling too well. Still, I'm trying my best to survive! This is nothing compared to what I had to face before 2020, health and pain wise!

(No, I did not catch the virus.)

I don't have any new pictures of myself today, so I'm sorry. Have this instead: Zezapion's Light 3D! Using a script, as well as some mapping edits, I have attempted to make Zezapion's Light (MV) look more 3D! You can download it using the link below! (File hosted on mega.nz)

Download

It uses the mv3d plugin by Cutievirus. You can get that plugin here. (Note: The plugin is not free. It costs $25.)

Someone took Auragirl111 on Twitter

 Someone took @Auragirl111 on Twitter and it wasn't me. It is an account with no activity, no followers, and no following, and only has an OF links, and text that says, "hi there 🌈". ...But, I still win. How? Look at the domain for this website.

I am, and forever will be, the real Auragirl111!

With love,

The Earthling Hating Momuians MZ has been released!

 The improved remake of The Earthling Hating Momuians made with RPG Maker MZ is now out!

In this game, you play as four Momuians, being Bruce, Fireball, Ultra, and Lime, on their adventure on Earth!

However, some of these Momuians aren't particularly fond of Earth and it's people, and on top of that, Orange the notorious Momuian Traitor also makes his home on Earth, adding to their problems!

And of course, as with any adventure starring Momuians, you meet some strange foes and powerful along the way!

I hope you enjoy this revistit of one of my older games! You can download it on the game page of this site! May Zezapion be on your side!

Important Game Update (05/05/2021)

Before, most games by me have been unencrypted. For future projects, I will have to encrypt the files so I can up the quality of resources used in my games. This is to prevent resources made by many talented artists from being stolen, as I have purchased the license to use them, but that is not the same for most of you. What does this mean? Nothing, unless you've been messing with my games through the RPG Maker programs (if that's the case, shame on you.) You will still be able to play the games, but you cannot take resources or edit the games, as you cannot use the resources without a license to do so, and they are not free. I hope you still continue to support me in my future projects. I will try my hardest to continue delivering RPG Maker games that I have made. That is all. I hope you have a wonderful day!
