Title: K.A racist? Horrible Anti-Animorphs Email
Post by: Animorphsjake on July 23, 2008, 03:30:02 PM
I got an email from this person (have no idea who he/she is) and the person  said this in the email:

                  K.A applegate is racist! Here is the evidence:

    Cassie has the most weak battle morph

    K.A makes Cassie look like a wimp compared to Jake and Rachel (Who are white)
    Katherine makes Cassie look like a wimp because shes always caring about feelings

   HELP STOP ANIMORPHS!!!!
   

And that was the email. I think this is bull crap, dont know about you guys.

How, you want us to spam him to death?

Stupid people believe stupid things, Cassie was also a gifted morpher, terribly insightful and had many attributes that made her an irreplaceable member of the team.

I'm assuming you know this guy since he emailed you, but in either case ignore it and/or just tell him to shove off, don't try for a war with him though. :P

Jake was Jewish-sorta', and he has some of the best morphs. Don't forget, the Applegate/Grant family named their SON Jake.
Marco is Hispanic, and he's the smartest human involved, defying all stereotypes.
Rachel, the Nordic-Caucasian stereotype *insert verb here* (you mightn't know what happens to her, so I'll not spoil it).

The only thing to make it LESS racist is to add a character of Asian descent!

And have the Asian be the best driver. :P

But, yeah. Cassie was the best morpher, even if she had a weak battle morph. And all of Este's points make...points...I don't see how K.A. would be racist if they thought about it...

Also, don't forget that Jake and Cassie liked each other. Neither of their families had an issue with it either.

Okay, this is kinda weird here. No offense but how can we even trust this e-mail even exists? For all we know the person who sent it is just someone your angry at and want revenge against. I would believe this if the e-mail being sent was not listed. Furthermore, releasing information like this knowing full well that a person might go ahead and start spamming someone makes the person who released the information liable. I suggest you remove the name at once.

I dunno....I thought KA loved Cassie. I mean, Cassie was the fastest morpher, the only one able to control her morphing, she's a time-w/e-anomaly, she gets intuitions that are always correct, she's the most "moral", she saves animals and is cute to boot. Don't think too much of the email.

I don't think she has the weakest battle morph. The wolf is a very deadly animal. Especially in the hands of a
Human.

  :sign20: :happy30: :headbang: That is, like, one of the awesomest quotes ever. I'm saving that.  ;D

Well, as stated before, K.A. is definitely not racist, and that e-mail was obviously sent by someone who had a rough day and felt the need to complain about something.

"Oh EM GEE!!!! They are on to her!!!!"

The Yeerks have found out who she is and are trying to bring her name to the mud for losing their 'campaign' on Earth. HOW CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE TRUE??
She stuffs ALL OF HER SERIES with characters with backgrounds and complexions of all sorts. At no point did I ever feel Cassie was disadvantaged. The person/Yeerk/Controller might be confusing Cassie for a weak character and chose a not very glorifying way to expressing indignity, not realizing that Cassie's anti-violent, tree-hugging, sentimental, sub-temporaly grounded self makes her one of the strongest characters, who has accomplished so much!

PS: That was sooo 'Marco'. A guy with a tissue paper in front of tidal wave?! LOL!!!

This.

The wolf might lack the pure muscle of a gorilla, bear or elephant, but it has great speed, agility, and has a huge amount of energy.

Plus, I'm pretty sure a wolf would be stronger than a red-tailed hawk

Look you guys, the person who wrote this is either an idiot or a troll. They're trying to get a rise out of people, and clearly they're succeeding.

Just ignore it and move on with your day.

You'd be surprised.

I've encountered some pretty dumb people in my years, and a badly-informed person could come to those conclusions on his or her own.

Anyone can be a troll. They're people who go on the internet specifically to get a rise out of people.

Yeah, I always considered hawk a pretty lame battle morph.  Great in a lot of respects, but can a red-tailed hawk kill or do serious damage to a Hork-Bajir??

Yeah, I know I replying to something a month-old.

But I have to say that it's ridiculous (sp?) how many people label things racist or satanic without so much as the flemsiest (sp?) evidence.  I know I shouldn't rise to this, but it isn't just Animorphs getting painted with this brush.  Harry Potter, Pokemon, and probably more that I can't think of at the moment.  It's like these people have nothing better to do than start up a faux controversy.

Which they probably don't.

Okay, as blatantly idiotic as the "lol K.A.'s a totall raycistz omg" person is, a wolf has absolutely nothing on a tiger or gorilla or a grizzly.  Come on.  Think.

A wolf is intimidating to a regular person, sure, but one cop with a handgun could take down a wolf.  Absolutely without breaking a sweat.  Can't say the same for Jake or Rachel or Marco's morphs.

That particular point is correct.

Although the racist stuff is ridiculous.

Whenever certain people have a problem with something (which this person clearly does) they play a discrimination card (race, religious, other) of some kind.  It's just a way of marginalizing something other people love but they can't understand.  Other people just need an enemy (i.e. overly zealous religious people).  If something isn't always ruining society what can you blame?
