i don't want anyone to get upset by this because that's neither the intended reaction nor really the appropriate one. i'm also not talking about anyone specifically, and i don't think i even have mutuals who do this (and if i do i haven't realized it so rest assured i'm not talking about you), but.

if you have 10+ muses (or even less, really), and they're aaaaaaall white... why? i assume at least a chunk of the time people don't realize they've done this, but i also feel like that's unlikely, honestly, as much as diversity comes up, even just in general within the rpc. i also just can't imagine how you wouldn't realize. idk, just maybe consider why you do this, and think about how internalized racism plays into it. then, maybe do better.

#ooc.#i don't want some idiot coming in my inbox saying “why do you think it's wrong to write white people” either #cause i never said that #white people exist and i don't think there's anything wrong with having white muses at ALL #esp cause these are the faces we see the most in media so i get it they're on everyone's minds #and i think in some (select few) cases it wouldn't be appropriate to use a poc fc for certain muses #but girl you got 50 muses and they're AAAAALLL white???#idk i find that so suspicious #this black history month consider changing one of your fcs #lola was cuban when i first made him and then an old friend of mine suggested i make him black #and i was like ok. and i'm so glad i did #anyway i'm begging everyone not to get pressed about this i mean it as nicely as possible while still expressing how i feel about it
