YouTooz Faces Backlash After Racist Arcane Meme Featuring Mel Medarda
YouTooz, the collectibles brand known for creating figures across major fandoms, sparked backlash after sharing a short animation featuring Arcane characters Viktor and Mel Medarda. The clip showed Viktor sitting in a car as Mel appeared on the road ahead, framed in a way that suggested violence rather than humor. Within minutes, YouTooz deleted the post, but screenshots spread fast. Fans accused the company of promoting racism and misogyny against Mel, a Black woman who already faces bias within the Arcane fandom.

A lot of these professionals think that they deserve prestige or respect for making it industries that largely rely on nepotism — just something we should all remember — okay, so do something worth respecting then. You want me to kowtow to you bc you draw sprites? Stop being antiBlack first
it's funny that how in a show called the arcane, none of those dvd extras for s2 had anyone talk about mel becoming a mage, or how they designed her new look, or how they choose to animate her magic

just absolutely nothing for her every time...and we're supposed to think this is normal?

When you have nonBlack writers and professionals working with Black characters, their biases always come through. And they're SO upset when their title doesn't shield them from criticism. Being behind a company account doesn't make you infallible. It just makes you a bigger idiot than other idiots

Shame on all of you giggling along and liking posts making fun of Black women. This is why so many people keep leaving the fandom, the unchecked rampant anti-Black racism that makes these spaces intolerable.

Before anyone tries to argue, read this then get back to me feminegra.com/mel-medarda-...
Mel Medarda Deserves Better in Arcane and League of Legends
Mel Medarda is a main character in Arcane but sidelined in media, fandom, and merch. Fans are demanding real recognition now.

There's nothing funny about this because this is about racism and how Mel is often written in racist, stereotypical, and misogynistic ways. There are jayvik fics where Mel is being tortured, experimented on, brutalized, and abused for the sake of propping up JV.

This point exactly. Everyone acted shocked when Youtooz posted a video of Mel being brutalized, saying they didn’t understand why a company thought that would appeal to the Arcane fandom, yet a month later we have people openly mocking Black fans for pointing out racism.
They run and ignore black people at the slightest pushback. Then they wonder why their fandom is so widely known for racism or why Youtooz felt comfortable posting a video of Viktor running over Mel.

Rudo “died” in a similar fashion to Jayce, and I find that choice to be extremely suspicious. Like it's such a specific way to go, I wanna know what the conversations were behind the scenes when it came to that. To be a fly on the wall when Clarke was meeting with the folks at Riot about Rudo.

Today youtooz post a video of Viktor, a white man, running over Mel.

There has multiple JV fics/art where Viktor commits acts of violence against Mel. Now a company is using said violence as part of 'marketing' to shippers. If you claim to care about racism, call this out. It's sickening.

Late #melweek2025 sketch for day 7: Family/Legacy/Inheritance!!

Mel makes her way back home, and new portraits are added to the walls of House Medarda. One day, she can teach her child to be kind without fear of retribution.
