if there is one thing i hate in the anime fandom is people think asian is only japanese, korean, and chinese, there is more to asians then where they’re from, people seem to forget that pale and dark skin asians exist because people only believe all asians are light skin which isn’t true because biasian people exist, how are you gonna be an anime fan and be racist to pale and dark skin asians and call them fake asians at the same time?

Or worse thinking that all dark skin Asians just automatically means they are more African than Asian. They probably won't deny that there is dark skinned Asians, but they will assume they have certain traits that is just the same as stereotyping. Things such as afros, braids, frizzled hair, etc. They'll seethe if they know a dark skinned or tan Asian girl who has smooth straight hair. Why else nobody gives a shit about Michiko Malandro from Michiko & Hatchin? A main character that is a badass bitch. They would rather blackwash Jolyne Kujo from JJBA Stone Ocean and give her puffy afro hairstyle buns than have an original character be presented to them.

Why do people blackwash characters. Doesn't matter what they are, doesn't even have to he white, they can be Spanish, and they still blackwash them.

They actually got away with doing this to Starfire 💀

Boycott disney for blackwashing

[bixels]

I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.

People when someone draws Mammon , Diavolo , Simeon, , Mephisto or Raphael more lightskinned : "This is RACIST!" "They are not white!! 😡😡"

People when someone blackwashes Lucifer , Leviathan , Satan , Asmodeus , Beelzebub , Belphegor , Barbatos , Luke , Solomon or Thirteen : "Omg 😍" "Better then original tbh" "Omg this is so awesome"

h*yo if they were playing around

Could you not blackwash characters? Idk why you suddenly started doing this but its incredibly annoying.

Could you educate yourself ? Idk why you suddenly decided spit your ignorant opinion but I don't care if you are annoyed.

Mainstream mob: "Blackwashing The Little Mermaid is fine, because it's a fictional creature...

BUT you can't whitewash Black Panther, cause his skin tone and origin are relevant to the plot "...

Also mainstream mob: "Blackwashing Snow WHITE is totally fine, tho." - Even if the setting is clearly ancient GERMANY, it's written by the Grimm brothers, who where German, and she's literally called Snow WHITE. LIKE IT'S PART OF THE ACTUAL PLOT...

"Oh, we can blackwash Hermione too, in the book her skin tone is never mentioned, even the author did not specify it".

THE GRIMM BROTHERS DID THO.

AND OMG I JUST DISCOVERED. "We can blackwash a VIKING CHARACTER. LIVING IN SCANDINAVIA. IN THE MOTHERFUCKING VIKING ERA. YES."

Just admit you have a double standard based on race (hate to tell you so, but it's still racism) and shut up. Please.

(Edit for the person who reblogged - Scandinavian is not a "race"... ofc the actors are not Scandinavian, but omg you KNOW what I'm talking about here, don't even pretend).

as a person whose vaguely dabbled in black headcannons, ive never personally seen it as taking away a character’s og ethnicity. I always see it as adding that on with a character’s already established culture. another thing I wanna point out is, I don’t think most people making edits are trying to erase asians. ive seen headcannon for a lot of different races on a lot of different characters. I think the reason a lot of people headcannon asian characters as blasian is bc anime is relatively popular and that popularity comes with people trying to see themselves in the media they like. it’s never seemed malicious/like ppl are trying to fix a character to me, just somewhat iffy

So why isn't there such a thing such as Asian edits on Western characters or other types of Asians such as Filipino, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, etc? Not just the usual Chinese or Korean headcanon. Or why assume traits like braids or afro hair is only exclusive for black people when Asians can have it as well without having to be dark skin?

Motherfuckers who constantly complain about blackwashing or any other minority being cast in a remake and tell minorities to make their own stories need to shut the fuck up unkindly

Because I can guarantee not one of those dickheads ever watched

Canon Busters: The one time it did get social media attention on twitter the tag got taken over by some idiots who were crying to bring back some shit called The OA

Seis Manos: Netflix didn’t promote it at all so it’s mostly their fault but still

The Jellies, Lazer Wulf or Camp Buckooth: every time these shows were promoted here came annoying ass venture bros and Metalocalypse fans under every video commenting that these shows were trash and to bring back VB and Metalocalyps

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: which is doing semi fine but it’s still annoying when I see a promotion online and the comments are filled with “Bring back the owl house !” because you know they lost their show so they can’t let anyone else enjoy their shows

I’m A Virgo: everyone complained that it was ‘too weird’ but claim that they want different stories about black people that aren’t slave stories but turn their heads at black surrealism

Nope: People claimed it was too confusing and that they didn’t understand the story when the story and the message is absolutely easy to understand

It’s always “make your own stories !” yet they never help support those stories, they always try to hijack what little promotion or they just straight up ignore it or even when we do make our own stories they still complain and claim it’s “woke pandering” or “woke propaganda”

[innocentanimegirl]

Context: They made a white character dark

Reason:-

Does anyone see the fucking hypocrisy in this bullshit?

I will forever love when people draw non-conventionally attractive versions of the brothers, or even just headcanons. Give them different body types! Give them unique facial features! Give them marks and scars and blemishes! They look so much better that way (in my opinion).
