It is always exciting to find any representation of Japanese arcades from before the 1960s! Here we have a carnival with a ball toss game where you try and hit a classical oni, and a shooting gallery that including both a spinning platform and balloon shooting.
This
blog stands in protest against the USA's horrific attempts to eliminate
trans people from society. Trans people have always existed, in every
society, but the administration has embraced a moral panic, declared a
war against reality, and says that trans people can no longer be allowed
to exist. This includes making their healthcare illegal, censoring
books and school curriculum from university level down to elementary
school, banning trans people from bathrooms, and declaring trans
existence to be child abuse.
This blog stands in solidarity with
all of the youth who are being terrorized by a fascist president who has
declared them to be threats that must be eliminated.
The USA is
disappearing random brown people off the streets via unidentified masked
men and shipping them off to concentration camps and notorious foreign
prisons, all with no due process. Solidarity for all who are in the gaze
of this American Nazism terror campaign against its own people.
