My full response to the Power Rangers Ninja Kidz situation, since, regrettably, it's dragged me and my work into controversy. I've been in the middle of it since Saturday so I took time to approach this sensitively. And also plan jokes. ... I mask my pain through humour.
Jokes aside, I hope everybody can approach this situation with respect and dignity. There are real people involved who are affected by this ongoing situation. Any other questions you might have, or any clarification I can give within reason, I'll do my best to respond!
@TokuJay Almost made a not gonna read all that joke. However I will join you in raising a glass and hope for better opportunities and a brighter future. Looking at u Disney, better contact Jay with that reboot.
@Biojeffrey Trust me, I tried to keep this down to one page but my fingers, my correct number of fingers on each hand, they just could not stop typing
@TokuJay "It looks like that work might not amount to anything" 💀💀 does that mean they are going to shelve the entire thing help what
@DiiamondFiire It's not my place to say, and I don't actually know for sure, but I have a feeling there's factors at play that might mean it never gets released.
@TokuJay Real Can I cheers a dr. Pepper with your Pepsi max?
@kamenridermeta Diet or regular - I'm not precious about it
@TokuJay Cheers to ya with my mtn dew
@thatdorrk That's a good choice, for sure
@TokuJay I laughed, I cried. We’ll always have your back Jay! Keep your head held high and keep up the amazing work. You should be very proud of everything you’ve brought to the community!
@TokuJay Spoken with true respect and honour, with a lukewarm pepsi, I shall cheers to you Jay, with a cold can of coke, and a fellow England boy. May the power protect you.
@TokuJay I had no idea you were from the UK, W Jay
@TokuJay Didn’t Hasbro say they’d dabble with AI I’ll gladly blame Hasbro or any big corp for this, but NEVER the artists involved. Especially if they’re very openly speaking against the use of AI
@TokuJay People blamed you?! That stinks. I've seen enough to know better. Im sorry for all your problems (including the fridge; lukewarm pop is no fun). I hope it gets better soon.
@TokuJay Still extremely disappointed this happened, but I’m glad youre trying your best take this in stride about the thumbnails…. Im sorry. Genuinely didnt think it would come off like that but I see how it can be when they’re all lumped together like that. That said, I got a strong-
@TokuJay Honestly this whole situation really pisses me off cause the only person who seems to be majorly suffering as a result of it is yourself when you should be the one designing the suits for the big movie versions of the show. Whoever made the choice for AI needs to be fired…NOW
@TokuJay This whole situation is tough, but at least someone of your tremendous hilarity made light of it. The radio silence around this has been annoying. I raise my Arizona iced tea to you.
@TokuJay This is on whoever commissioned the project imo. If it wasn't budgeted properly and Playmates/Hasbro couldn't be arsed to fund the necessary work to create PR, then the company simply shouldn't have taken it on. The brand deserves more respect than it's currently getting.
@TokuJay Ive followed your art on instagram for a good year or so now (My favorites being Wild Force) and i fully support you and know your art is real because it takes patience and passion to create what you love and i see that in every piece you make so keep at it and keep your head up!
@TokuJay Good statement. It all sounds like corporate BS decision making led to the use of AI like this.
@TokuJay It's sad what happened to you. It's really unfortunate that you can't control what people think/believe. People are so quick to a certain conclusion that it doesn't matter if it hurts anyone or not. As a fellow Power Ranger/Super Sentai fan I appreciate what you do.
@TokuJay Sending a lot of love and support bro. Sucks to see your amazing work be overshadowed by AI. Hopefully this does get fixed
@TokuJay Sending more love & support your way, brother
@TokuJay Well said man! And your real fans are behind you 100% keep up the amazing work!
@TokuJay I'm glad you took the time to make the statement. It's a real shame that your work got dragged into AI controversy.
@TokuJay Poor TokuJay Hope NinjaKidz can consider their act
@TokuJay Well said Jay.
