Update:

Topps apologizes

Original post:

The 2021 Topps Garbage Pail Kids: The Shammy Awards card collection is currently under fire for a violent portrayal of BTS in their new collectible range. While some BTS ARMY claimed that the portrayal of BTS with "bruises" is indicative of the unfair treatment they received from the Recording Academy, others have said that with the rising hate crimes against Asians and Asian-Americans, portraying BTS as "BTS Bruisers" is in bad taste and shouldn’t be allowed to continue.

The new satire series of the collectibles features a number of artistes who won the Grammy this year including Stunning Stallion, Buoyant Billie, Wild Styles, UF Bruno, Harry Boa, Bopping K-pop, Taylor Turf, Tree Swift, Lars Mars and more. But what some pointed out is that only BTS is portrayed with bruises in a game of Whack-A-Mole where the Grammy award is the supposed hammer and they are bruised by it with visible signs of marks on their faces.

garbage pail kids have always been edgy and some downright gross (like physically sickening to look at, so nasty) and people are now suddenly upset about it?

I don’t have a problem with the card itself but with the recent rise of Asian American attacks it’s kinda tone deaf to release it at this time

lmao I love this. sorry.
this was done to piss off their fans even more, which I am here for because they're ruthless and childish, just like the GPK  

[Obobo 2,971]

Wow look how normalized racism towards asians is. There's a ton of hate crimes towards Asians right now, it is totally tone deaf. For example, If it was a cartoon of the many black artists who boycott the grammys, people wouldn't just think its stans overreacting.

i love garbage pail kids

I will add the timing is bad

[Wixson 5,004]

The irony of their brain dead fans spamming Twitter with "be a good human" photos.

The cards are disgusting to look at but there’s literally nothing wrong with this. People need to stop looking through everything from a race lens. There would legit be nothing wrong with this is it were whites instead. We need to think more about ending actual acts of racism instead of targeting a card company that has the same **** done but to a white person. Racism shouldn’t lead to treating races more sensitively in fear of repercussions it should be treating everyone equally. Idk if I’m explaining this well but I know what I mean and that’s enough 🤷🏻‍♂️
