Rolled up Shirts with Black Bikinis

About

Rolled up Shirts with Black Bikinis (Japanese: たくし上げ黒ビキニ; Takushiage Kuro Bikini) refer to a popular motif for moe illustrations where girls are rolling up their shirts and showing black bikinis. Throughout its trend on Twitter and Pixiv in February 2015, this sexy pose established its concept as a moe situation in the Japanese otaku culture.

Origin

According to the Pixiv Encyclopedia[1] and Nico Nico Pedia,[2] the trigger of this illustration meme was a series of fanart for the Japanese online card game series Kantai Collection (KanColle); which were posted on Twitter by Japanese illustrator Ichijirushi (いちじるし)[3] in the beginning of February 2015. His first work of the KanColle fleet girl Hamakaze[4] rolling up her shirt and showing black bikini was uploaded on the 2nd day of that month.[5] Then, another tweet summarizing several fleet girl works in in the following week had earned over 3,000 retweets and 10,000 favorites within the first 3 days (shown below). From the very beginning, the term “Rolled up Shirts with Black Bikinis” was used by the author to express the outfit.[6]


Translation:

Here are my recent works for Rolled up Shirts with Black Bikini series. It will make me happy if you like these and draw your own ones.

Naturally, rolling up clothes wasn’t a new idea. There already existed countless photos of female models or cosplayers rolling up their skirts/shirts by hands or a mouth, and showing swimsuits, underwear or naked bodies. Particularly amongst otaku artists, this has been a cliche motif for hentai illustrations since before, which is evidenced by over thousands of illustrations tagged under “Roll up” (たくし上げ) in online illustrators communities.[7][8] Nevertheless, this series of his works was the milestone in the subculture because his catchy naming and convincing illustrations of girls with large breasts succeeded to show its allure enough to establish the motif as one of the moe concepts.

Spread

Within that month, the term became to a hashtag on the social network,[9] and over 300 illustrations of “Rolled up Shirts with Black Bikinis” had been uploaded to Twitter, Pixiv[10] and Nico Nico Seiga[11] by many amateur illustrators. Because these follow up works were largely associated with the KanColle fandom due to its origin, the illustration fad was quickly covered by many KanColle-affiliated matome blogs and a Togetter article[12] as well as featured by Pixiv’s art news section, Pixiv Spotlight, in English.[13]

Meanwhile, the illustration trend actually ended after a short period because of the advent of new moe fetish item, the Front Zipper Swimsuit, in the following month. But regardless of that, its concept is widely shared amongst otakus by the term coined by the originator.

Jeb Bush's "America" Tweet

$

0

Overview

Jeb Bush’s “America” Gun Tweet refers to a photograph of a personalized handgun engraved with the name Jeb Bush that was posted on Twitter by the Republican presidential candidate in mid-February 2016. Shortly after Bush tweeted the image, which was simply accompanied by the word “America,” it quickly became a target of Murica-themed parodies and satires on the microblogging platform.

Background

On February 16th, 2016, Jeb Bush’s official Twitter account[1] tweeted out a picture of Jeb Bush’s monogrammed handgun, along with a one-word caption reading “America” (shown below). According to the news reports, Bush posted the photograph of his newly engraved .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol after conducting a business tour and town hall meeting at FN America, a firearms manufacturer based in Columbia, South Carolina and the U.S. subsidiary of the Belgian firearms corporation FN Herstal. Within the first 24 hours, the tweet received over 10,000 retweets and 7,000 likes from his supporters and followers on Twitter.



Notable Developments

Throughout the afternoon, several celebrities and influential users on Twitter responded to Jeb Bush’s tweet with satirical commentaries and parodies, with many people mocking it as an epic failure at social media campaigning while others condemned the former Florida governor for trying to rally up support and pander to pro-gun voters in poor taste.



Parodies

In addition to some of the more genuine commentaries aimed at the Republican presidential candidate’s undisguised endorsement of the right to bear arms in the United States, Jeb Bush’s “America” tweet also prompted dozens of satires and parodies featuring other controversial and negative stereotypes of the American culture under the one-word slogan “America.”




News Media Coverage

Jeb Bush’s “America” tweet and the social media backlash that ensued thereafter were picked up by virtually all major U.S. news outlets and viral media blogs, including CBS, CNN, TIME, USA Today, The Washington Post, New York Magazine, BuzzFeed and Mashable, as well as other English-language news outlets overseas, such as BBC News, The Telegraph, CBC, ABC Australia and The Daily Mail, among others.

Overview

#BoycottBeyonce is an online campaign launched in protest of American pop singer Beyoncé’s music video and Super Bowl 50 halftime performance of her 2016 bounce hip hop single “Formation,” which contains several lyrical references and commentaries aimed at the issue of racial inequalities in the United States, including the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, police brutality controversies and other aspects of racism against the black people. Upon its release in early February 2016, the music video came under intense scrutiny from conservative bloggers and critics of the #BlackLivesMatter movement for its alleged “race-baiting” subtext and promotion of anti-law enforcement attitudes.

Background

On February 6th, 2016. Knowles released the music video for her song “Formation,” which features references to the 2005 Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana and various police brutality controversies (shown below). In the first 10 days, the video gained over 26 million views and 33,000 comments.



The following day, some Twitter users began protesting Knowles’ impending Super Bowl halftime performance and criticizing the video along with the hashtag #BoycottBeyonce, claiming it contained anti-police imagery (shown below).



Notable Developments

Super Bowl Performance

On February 7th, 2016 at approximately 8 p.m. (EST), the halftime show kicked off at the 50th National Football League championship game with Coldplay playing their hit songs, including “Viva la Vida,” “Paradise,” and “Adventure of a Lifetime,” before they were joined by Bruno Mars’ performance of his 2015 pop funk hit Uptown Funk and Beyoncé’s live debut of “Formation” (shown below).



On February 8th, Tennessee resident Patrick Hampton made a Facebook[2] page titled “Boycott Beyoncé” to protest Knowles’ " disrespecting Law Enforcement Officers in blue" in the “Formation” video. One week later,, Hampton claimed to have received death threats for creating the page.[3] On February 14th, Saturday Night Live featured a parody trailer for a film in which white people suddenly realize that Knowles is black (shown below).



Protest

On February 16th, an" Anti-Beyonce Protest Rally"[1] was held at the NFL headquarters in New York City. The rally was organized by former New York City mayor Rudy Guiliani to protest “race-baiting stunt at the Super Bowl,” as well as the political tactics used by the groups Black Lives Matter and the Black Panthers. That day, Twitter user Glenn Schuck posted photographs showing only counter protesters present at the event (shown below).

About

Bernie Sanders’ Dank Meme Stash is a Facebook group page devoted to creating and distributing memes, generally image macros and exploitables in support of Bernie Sanders during his campaign for the nomination during the 2016 Democratic Presidential Primary. The group is well-known for producing memes about Sanders at a high rate of mutation.

History

The Bernie Sanders Dank Meme Stash (BSDM) was created in early October 2015 by college students Will Dowd and Sean Walsh.[1] It is unknown whether or not the pair was influenced by the Facebook group Barnie Sandlers, who had associated Bernie Sanders with dankness in a late July. Will’s first post was on October 1st, 2015; it was a photograph of Bernie Sanders putting a man in a headlock during a wrestling event; the photograph had notably been featured in a popular /r/psbattle thread a few days earlier, where it earned 3,722 points (89% upvoted).[3] When Dowd posted it in the Facebook group, however, it received only 11 likes.



Notable Developments

As interest in Sanders as a candidate grew, so did the group. On January 13th, Walsh posted that the group had grown to 5,000 members.[2] On January 28th, a post in the /r/terriblefacebookmemes subreddit claimed that it had been taken from the BSDM group; the post received 605 points (86% upvoted).[4] Also on January 28th, the reddit post that started the Bernie or Hillary? meme was created; it quickly became popular within BSDM, in turn leading to massive growth; on February 9th, in an article about Bernie or Hillary, the online news publication Slate noted that the group had 160,000 members and counting.[5]




A selection of recent posted images.

Also on February 9th, the post which initiated the I’m Not Kidding, Maddi meme was posted in BSDM; the popularity of that meme, and its attribution to the group in press sources like the Telegraph,[6] caused more growth. As of February 16th, the group has more than 250,000 members. Facebook does not release data on frequency or numbers of posts within a group, but it is overwhelming enough to make it difficult to find a post twice.

Online Presence

In addition to the Facebook group, BSDM also maintains a significantly less popular presence on Instagram, where they have 353 followers.[7] However, one aspect of the group’s popularity have included its Facebook group spinoffs, which include the Bernie Sanders Dank Meme Museum (1,334 members), the Bernie Sanders Dank Meme Singles (2,573 members), and the Bernie Sanders Uncensored Dank Meme Stash (54 members).

Fire Emblem Fates Localization Controversy

$

0

Overview

Fire Emblem Fates Localization Controversy refers to the online backlash that occurred over the localization changes in the English version of Fire Emblem Fates. The localization of the game was handled by the Nintendo Treehouse, Nintendo of America’s product development division. [1]

Background

Fire Emblem Fates is the fourteenth entry in the Fire Emblem series, a tactical role-playing game. On January 16th, 2015, Fire Emblem Fates was announced worldwide during the January 2015 Nintendo Direct. [2] The premise of the game features the main character, the avatar (default name Corrin (English) / Kamui (Japan)), must make a choice whether to side with their birth family in the kingdom of Hoshido, their adoptive family in the kingdom of Nohr, or refuse to side with either kingdom.

Notable Developments

Removal of Skinship

Skinship (also known by its fan nickname Fire Emblem Amie) is a minigame that appears in Fire Emblem Fates. The player can go to their Private Quarters and invite a character in their army, regardless of gender [3][4], to their home and face pet them by using the Nintendo 3DS touch screen to strengthen their bonds with the character.

On January 26th, 2016, Nathan Grayson published an article to Kotaku titled, “The Other Ways Nintendo Is Changing The English Version of Fire Emblem Fates.”[5] The article had stated that the face petting minigame had been removed from the English version of Fire Emblem Fates. The article had been updated on February 10th, 2016 with an exchange between Kotaku and Nintendo added for clarification (shown below).


Kotaku: I was told that a feature in which you can use the touch screen to directly touch/”pet” your characters is also out of the localized version. Is that the case?

Nintendo: Yes, that is the case. You might have heard somewhat misinterpreted or exaggerated information about the Japanese original game, but even in the Japanese original version, we have not included any features which are considered inappropriate in Japan.”


The removal of Skinship was reported to various video game websites such as Nintendo Everything [6], Polygon [7], and the Fire Emblem fan site SerenesForest. [8]

Although face petting is not included in the English version of Fire Emblem Fates, the ability to invite someone to your home and receive support bonuses from them remains intact (shown below). [9]


Nintendo released a statement (shown below) to Kotaku [10] on February 15th, 2016 that players would be able to interact with S-level characters. However, these events were unrelated to the face petting minigame that was included Japanese version of Fire Emblem Fates.


“In certain circumstances, S-Level characters are able to wake up their spouses by blowing into the microphone or by tapping the screen to touch their hair, face or shoulder. These randomly triggered events are unrelated to the mini-game in the Japanese version.”

Exclusion of Dual Audio

On January 30th, 2016, Geniux submitted to the r/FireEmblem [11] subreddit a screenshot of an email response from Ash Erickson of Nintendo of America that Fire Emblem Fates will not have the Japanese audio track (shown below). As of February 20th, 2016, the post has accumulated 0 points (50% upvoted), and 91 comments.



On February 5th, 2016, Nintendo released a statement to Polygon [12] that Fire Emblem Fates would be released in North America in English only. Shortly after, edibubble submitted a post to the r/Games [13] subreddit reporting that the Japanese audio track would not be included in the English version of Fire Emblem Fates. The post has gained 712 points (82% upvoted), and 370 comments as of February 20th, 2016.

Although Nintendo did not comment on their reasoning behind the exclusion of the Japanese track, several people began theorizing on Nintendo’s decision. In the r/FireEmblem subreddit [14], vkrili submitted a post suggesting that Nintendo may not have included dual audio because of licensing issues with the Japanese voice actors involved in Fire Emblem Fates. As of February 20th, 2016, the post has accumulated 112 points (82% upvoted), and 111 comments.

Soleil & Male Avatar Support

After the Japanese release of Fire Emblem Fates on June 25th, 2015, a support conversation between the male avatar and soleil was translated and submitted to pastebin. [15] In the original support, Soleil gets distracted from fighting cute girls in the battlefield and it greatly affects her performance. She asks for the male avatar’s help, and the male avatar agrees by putting a magic powder in Soleil’s drink that lets her see men as women, and women as men.

The support came under controversy [16][17] during the summer of 2015 as the support was interpreted by some people as the male avatar drugging Soleil, and that Soleil was undergoing gay conversion therapy.

When asked about the Soleil support conversation, Nintendo released a statement to NintendoWorldReport (shown below) [18] that any implications of gay conversion or drugging will not be included the North American and European versions of Fire Emblem Fates.


“In the version of the game that ships in the U.S. and Europe, there is no expression which might be considered as gay conversion or drugging that occurs between characters.”

The localization keeps the basic premise of the support conversation (shown below) [19], but instead of using magic powder, the male avatar has Soleil wear a blindfold and asks for her to imagine him as a girl.



In a SerenesForest thread [20], reactions to the new support conversation in general is seen as an improvement to the original Japanese support conversation.

#TorrentialDownpour

#TorrentialDownpour [21] is a hashtag campaign launched in protest to the localization changes in Fire Emblem Fates (shown below, left) as early as January 27th, 2016. Prior to the campaign, the hashtag was used under a different context, by people tweeting about the weather conditions of where they live (shown below, right).

Petition

On June 25th, 2015, a petition [22] was submitted to Change.org requesting that Nintendo does not censor Fire Emblem: Fates for its released worldwide. As of February 20th, 2016, the petition has gained over 7,700 signatures.

If you have any relevant knowledge on Team Fortress 2’s item economy, then feel free to request editorship and help with building this entry.



About

The Burning Flames Team Captain is an unusual variant of the Team Captain hat found in Valve’s iconic multiplayer first-person shooter video game Team Fortress 2. It is considered one of the rarest and most valuable items in the game, surpassing even the Golden Frying Pan.
Because of its extremely high value, and the fact that it is merely a virtual item in a video game, it has become the butt of many jokes in the Team Fortress community.

Origin

The Team Captain is an uncommon cosmetic item introduced to Team Fortress 2 in 2011. It bears a resemblance to the cap worn by the character M. Bison from the Street Fighter series, and can be equipped by the Soldier, Heavy, and Medic classes.[1]

“Unusual quality” refers to any of a variety of animated particle effects attached to certain cosmetic items, taunts, and weapons. Unusual items are exceptionally rare, and can only be obtained through randomly-dropped crates and cases, which require players to purchase “key” items to open. Among these effects is one called “Burning Flames”, which makes the attached cosmetic appear to be set on fire, and is only found in an expired series of crates.[2][3]

As of January 2016, there are only four known instances of the Burning Flames Team Captain. According to backpack.tf,[4] it is estimated to be worth over 8000 keys, or roughly $18,500 in USD.
