UPDATE!!!

Seems the racist prick tried another mod with another game...and not only did it get removed like the DATV mods did, but SO DID HE!!! DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!!! Dude has to relegate himself to mod sites NO ONE cares about XDD This is amazing.

Like, gee...It's ALMOST like making mods that do NOTHING but erase POC is fucking racist! Good riddance, ya K-Cubed wannabe!

And So It Begins...Joy

Looks like we have the racist mods coming in now...Woo! X.x I reported both of these the moment I saw them each, and the top one was taken off the Nexus pretty fast, but PLEASE keep an eye out for anything by this dude...

And of course, the guy has it uploaded elsewhere, so keep an eye out on these sites if you use them:

The fact that people are able to just so comfortably be racist is so disturbing to me. X.x

Hey dudes and dudettes, Mod Roddy here!

I didn’t want to make this post, however, with the release of the preview pages of the DCTL Graphic Novel, Cobalt broke into my house demanding the staff be redesigned to be more “canon complicit.” They feared with our current designs the Bendy devs would be afraid of interacting with us; “I mean, imagine the horror Mike would feel seeing our Norman!” They muttered, body shaking with either excitement or fear. Of course, my response was- “What? The loosely bendy-based story where Henry is Joey’s brother, Joey and Sammy are married gay lovers and Bertrum x Jack is a thing needs to be closer to canon now?” Their response, as moving as it was mocking, was “Do it or I won’t let you ride the ink demon this summer.”

I am currently pressing charges, but before I had it arrested, it created these edits for me to base the redesigns off of. After they’re done serving their sentence, posting will continue as normal <3

Yet Another Distressing Wyll Mod

Another mod white-washing Wyll was uploaded on 11 January, 2024.

The mod is called "Wylls of Toril" and is created by Fesstrom, who has no other character mods in their history (and only one other mod, a nice mod which adds a popular Wyll hair-mod to his portraits). This is not necessarily indicative of malicious intent, but it does fit the pattern of prior modders who have little to no history other than a fresh account seemingly created for the sole purpose of offering a mod that alters Wyll's appearance, typically in order to make him appear less black.

The mod was originally posted with three screenshots of an alternate model for Wyll's face, along with three different skin-tones, two of which were a light and dark shade of brown, and one of which was white.

I am going to go into some detail below. I am willing to create more of a point-by-point breakdown and get into even further detail, but wanted first to share the basic description and screenshots. I am hesitant to go into a lengthy break-down from the get-go or without request, lest I be leading or present my own biases, upset, and bitterness as something more than my subjective experience. The more I can stick to the screenshots and links, the better.

Further details under the cut!

I (sanguinarialroot on Nexus) and others attempted to point out the racism inherent to this mod, with some overtly accusing the modder of deliberate racism, and other's detailing the issues without any comment on whether the mod was deliberately racist in intention outside of the operation and reception.

There is also a Reddit thread focused on this subject, and to which I contributed multiple comments (and a lengthy, distressing, thoroughly depressing dialogue with a lengthy, distressing, and thoroughly depressing person towards the tail end of a few comment threads... Trigger warning for a host of manipulation tactics or bad-faith dialoguing, as well as racism denial and baiting someone to share their race and then denying said race.)

I also have screenshots of my posts (the link clicks through to IMGUR) detailing the experience, many of which have since been removed due to reasons that the modder only scrambled to add as qualifying for removal AFTER I'd typed up my comments. This is presumably still being done for other users' as the mods post's count has hovered near 65 for around 24 hours now, despite it's prior post progression having rapid accumulation of comments in the hours closer to it's release.

Please read the comments on the screenshots, as I break down quite a bit of what occurred with a bit more detail and chronological progression than I would on a post in this form!

ONTO SOME POSITIVES (if they can be called as much...)

The modder later added another face model for Wyll, which appears to be their original model, with a wide nose and slightly thicker lips. This was done per another user's request. I'm going to be honest, I didn't notice this "fix" until long after my last posting before I was banned. It does not look quite so different from the modder's original alternate head, but I still regret that I did not acknowledge a potential attempt to improve. Of course, the damage was done and it does not absolve the modder, but it was an acknowledgement of a potential issue.

I would also like to thank the modder for remaning civil throughout the comment process! At no point did they speak lewdly or with hostility, and at no point did my banning seem like a drastic response. I can respect the modder's prerogative to remove me from the conversation towards the end. That doesn't mean I tolerate rampant censorship and lack of equitable culling towards their sycophants all across the board, but at least they weren't belligerent or overtly incendiary via their rhetoric.

CW/TW: Mention of racism + racism denial + race denial + whitewashing + and inclusions of links to message boards that include quite a hefty amount of racism + manipulative commenting + foul language + censorship + dismissiveness towards those attempting to criticize or call out what can easily be perceived as a racist project and racist messaging from the modder and/or commenters.

Hey guys if characters in your art look whiter because of lighting or a filter it should be every color that looks lighter and not just the skin just saying idk

Dear HPMA fanartists,

This is your reminder not to whitewash Lottie. She is clearly dark-skinned and whitewashing is considered to be racist. Thank you for listening, and sorry for wasting your time.

(Resending with the right numbers this time) myo-557 was talked about on this blog a few months ago when it first happened. It was done when it was owned by the artist that did the design itself. They whitewashed their own design. Still weird, but could be weirder. Not great when paired with the fact that the same artist and their partner have also reverted bun-016 from black to white, and made an ashy flat-haired black design with myo-910 (one of its past designs)

[wooyoungisbaby]

im being so serious rn, stop fucking whitewashing wooyoung!! his skintone is dark - do you like his actual real self or not? whitewashing idols isn't doing them a favour, it's cruel and it perpetuates the idea that light skin is more attractive and desirable. it treats idols as issues for editors to "fix". the colourism in kpop fandom needs to stop, it's so rampant both in fan photos and news outlet photos :)) im gonna come for your fuckin kneecaps

[izvmimi]

i hope you all understand how hard it is for poc to trust an artist to actually take genuine care in depicting them in a culturally sensitive way because of the extra steps it takes to make sure clothing details, hair textures, skin tones, etc are done properly because so much of conventional art is geared towards white people seeing themselves in the most appealing light and no one else

so when i see it done well it makes me so happy and insane fjjfjfnf

[fictionkinfessions]

Hi it’s me again! Mouthwashing fandom! I have another request!

STOP MAKING ME WHITE

There are fucking OFFICIAL IMAGES with CLEAR DRAWINGS OF US with our CORRECT. SKIN TONES. NOT EVEN SHADED. AND YET 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 YOU FUCKERS MAKE ME WHITE. STOP FUCKING EYEBALLING IT IF YOURE GOING TO MAKE ME WHITE I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS

Stop lightening my skin tone! Stop going out of your way to give Jimmy darker skin than he has. What the fuck is wrong with you. Like genuinely. How do you not see the issue here!! What are you doing!! Stop it! Now!!! Have we learned nothing from other fandoms doing the exact fucking same thing???
