Reminder that twitter "activists" threw a shitfit when the Japanese Red Cross did a blood drive campaign collaboration with Uzaki-chan.

Don't these twitter activists have better things to do in their lives than try to fuck with people who could give more or less no fuck about them. As if Japan would cave in to those morons, I doubt the people in the collab even looked twice before they bursted out laughing about people in social media from another country with a completely different culture, trying to insult them.

It seems like the JRC actually did cave in to the pressure the first time around...but then decided, "Fuck you haters, we're bringing her back again!"

Finally, the Red Cross gave in to the pressure, so they removed the image of Uzaki-chan from the campaign and instead were limited to discreet-sized posters pasted on buses near where blood drives took place.

(...) the Japanese Red Cross decided that saving lives was more important than avoiding offending Twitter users and announced that as of February 1, the collaboration with Uzaki-Chan will begin again. (Note: the campaign ended on 2/29/2020)
