Imagery For Children
Because of their impressionable age, children are most vulnerable to the messages imbedded in popular culture. This section deals exclusively with items that were designed and marketed for the American child consumer, including toys, books, dolls, and other play items. Most recently, racist imagery has been imported from Japan in the form of Animae and Maga-related pop culture. Ironically, much of this imagery was first exported to Japan in the 20th Century and is now coming back home.
