I've gotten a tonne of requests to make Evgenia's Geisha, Satoko's Egyptian Disco, Rika's BIB etc since I opened suggestions for ladies pins.

Truthfully I'm unsure if I should make these at all and I need opinions.

Saying these programs and similar ones are controversial is kind of an understatement. And while the costumes themselves MAY not be problematic, I'm unsure if they should be immortalised in an enamel pin. Or just any merch.

Personally, I love these costumes. But it's the program itself, and by extension the costumes, that are controversial and problematic. I don't really feel okay with aligning myself and my brand with this.

Yet I know people love these programs. And people don't. I'm torn.
