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.

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.

h*yo if they were playing around

[innocentanimegirl]

Context: They made a white character dark

Reason:-

Does anyone see the fucking hypocrisy in this bullshit?

[bellamer]

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”

What if Jake is actually Brazilian but pretends to be British because he thinks it's classy and cool because of his movies

Also speaking light skins i heard there was drama around a puss and boots fanart where he was drawn white. As a spic myself i can conform that Spaniards are definitely white even if they do tan. Many get pretty offended if you think the Spanish aren't white. I blame ignorant Americans who think anyone who is from a foreign country and speaks a different language are immediately brown and they'll fight with you on it. Just because someone looks brown doesn't mean they aren't Caucasian (and vice-versa blah blah blah) I'm light during winter but my skin gets darker during summer we can literally rotate between colors. Im not into representation really but if wanted something to reflect my race i would want that small detail of having the characters skin change during seasons. Closest that I've seen of that is Dib Membrane in the IZ movie because he's a self insert of the character and Dibs skin changed a bit to reflect how the creators did

I can definitely see that from Jake. Yeah, I've seen that drama on Twitter. I feel bad for the artists getting harassed by Twitards for drawing characters with a lighter tone than their headcanon dark skin. Even when you draw a Spaniard with dark skin, they want it darker. As dark as dark chocolate because any lighter means it is whitewashed to them. It's fucking retarded. It wasn't a problem to make a character light skin if they are from Europe from places like Italy or Spain. But now, you got to make them dark as fuck to be "accurate". They claim it is about diversity, but they believe only ONE skin type of people live in there and nobody else, when most countries like that are diverse in itself and have different skin tones and ethnicities. Many people live there, but it's ironic they don't see it themselves and began making their own stereotypes in the name of progressiveness.

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).

“Blackwashing” goes in the same box as “the female gaze” and “transandrophobia” for terms that are coined as a parallel equivalent to an existing term but miss that the core aspect of their counterpart (whitewashing, the male gaze, and transmisogyny) is a power imbalance. Hegemony. Oppression. The original terms are critiques of these (racism, more specifically colorism and antiblackness; misogyny; transphobia x misogyny). They are not equivalent and can only work in one direction.
