HAPPY TENTH ANNIVERSARY YA FILTHY ANIMALS!!!!
As promised, this is my final history project, a criticism of Ninjago!!!! Including your favorite terms, orientalism, the white savior trope, white saviorism, and tokenism!
I worked really hard on this website but here is my perspective, as an Asian-American on the problems with Ninjago and the real life impact it has. So anyway, if you disagree with any of the following statements, please go get educated!:
- Ninjago is racist
- Ninjago disrespects east asian cultures
- Ninjago denies opportunity to POC while profiting on a commodification of their culture
- Ninjago’s portrayal of asia is incredibly harmful
special thanks to posts/discussion from @tianeyuan, @garmadonisbackbaby, @tippydorman, @skylorchen and @snimbusjavy that helped me get educated :))
