Here’s a reminder of the last official merch Riot released for Mel Medarda.
Not only is she excluded from events, exhibits, & anniversary releases- the rare time minimal effort was made, she was depicted as being brutalized and killed by a white man (not to mention whitewashed) #arcane

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.

It seems Riot is only doubling down on its erasure of their black female characters. The new Arcane anniversary for League of Legends doesn't include Mel and Ambessa at all either. /
Please post about the lack of Mel and Ambessa in this post on the reddit.

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?

Like yeah of course riot is shitty and its fans are shitty. Stay on their necks for love of the game. They should never be allowed to feel secure in their own antiBlack biases and overall personal mediocrity. "Oh you're being a bully" criticism isn't bullying if you aren't 6 years old sorry

A lot of men don't want partners, they want proof that they're worth something. They chase women like validation tokens, not people. & when that validation doesn't come they don't look inward, they lash out.
As if a woman's “no” is a personal attack, not a personal boundary.

So many people choosing Arcane as their hill to die on is so embarrassing like it is willful ignorance of the blatant racism both from fans and studios and y'all ignore it because You Don't Care. Fucking embarrassing.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
