You are literally French. What would you know about any of this, an issue and drama stirred up by anericans.
Blackwashing exists and is used by bigots that hate white people. Its used to erase the ethnicity of asians just because people dont think they are "poc enough" because of their pale skin. Its used to demonize people with pale skin because its becoming more and more the norm to view anyone with pale skin as evil. That anyone who is "too pale" isnt enough or a human being.
They arent real people, and their skintones are fine as is. You wouldnt go up to, for example an albino or mixed race black/poc person and tell them they arent "dark enough". They dont even need to be special like that to be pale. Some just are pale.
Whether you think there should be more characters that are dark or not is not the issue. Its that you think they wouldnt be/arent good enough as is with pale skin that shows how much of a bigot you are.
Blackwashing is not the progressive act you think it is. Its obvious that your only experience with it is through genshin drama. You obviously know nothing about how much red haired pale characters & asian ones are substituted with black characters. How characters are simply replaced in the name of "diversity". How this forced inclusivity and diversity is just bigots trying to "get revenge" on the white people they hate so much, and to tick off DEI boxes on their little bigoted checklist.
You tell me to educate myself but its actually YOU who needs to be educated.
Many are complaining about sumeru and natlan characters with names similar to gods in cultures of our world that are pale when their inspiration is dark skinned. Claiming they want representation and for it to be accurate, to reflect our world on a 1-1 scale.
Yet these same people will make xiao, zhongli, Ei, and many more asian characters darker " because asians can be dark skinned too". Yet so can mostly dark skinned races be pale.
So why cant you (gen) respect such characters, who are gods and divine beings based on a culture where pale is more beautiful, and gods of such cultures are pale?
There is hypocrisy in everything to do with blackwashing. Its okay when its done to pale characters because in real life black people have been oppressed? But these characters are not real, nor are they a reflection of our reality, as far as we have seen they dont even have racism in this fictional world.
It is one thing to explore a character like with the recent hatsune miku trend, atleast there most people arent going at each other's throats saying black miku is better than japanese miku(as far as i have seen)
Seriously how can you even begin to justify this. And who ever told you that dark skinned characters "scare white people" is an absolute fucking liar trying to justify their own bigotry towards white people.
No black washing IS just as disgusting as whitewashing. Neither should exist, and you shouldn't feed into the stupid circle jerk of bigotry that both of them are.
Aaaah that's what I like ! Yes ! Thank you for telling me your opinion, explaining what is wrong. I absolutely love to learn, and I prefer to read this long text calling me ignorant and explaining why that just a simple text of you saying you are annoyed by a fanart.
Thank you for telling me ! First yes I am french, and indeed my culture has more an european pov. But again, I also grow up as a minority "race" with my parents culture !🙏 in france, i don't look like a french. Well. Still I am aware that it doesn't remove anything from what I said
And I totally agree with you, some are just pale !! It just happens I draw Kinich black because I like it like this. Is Kinich true inspiration are actually pale ? Tell me more, I wish to learn !!
Tbh when you talk abt gods being pale is beautiful, I thought about Nahida. I did research when she were out and yes, I do agree, there is character who are fine as they are.
And because I live in France I also see "dark skin scare white" as a true fact. It happens and it is harmful. 🧍 not only in France tho, in country where pale skin is portrayed as beautiful, people who have tan skin are less represented even if it is the majority. I suppose the contrary happens too !!
"Character are not real" and yet you are annoyed, I guess it is the action of "blackwash" that make you mad, more than "a fictional character w diffent skin tone" tho! My opinion is fiction does affect real world, as do real life affects fiction, and this is something I won't debate on
"They don't have racism in this fictional world" sorry but it does in Sumeru. 🙏 about this one npc she is reject by forest and desert because of them being mixed, desert not being access to book and even Cyno said his scholarship was complicated because he is from desert
If you wish to continue, please send me DM with arguments. I don't know if I would change my mind of not drawing Kinich pale, but I am super interested about what you have to say !! 👍👍

Like it all started when you and some friends decided to do some urban exploration, visiting a broken abandoned military base. Now while there your friends are of course being dumb, touching things with bare hands, no face coverings to protect them from whatever harmful things could be in the air, respect for the possible dead is on floor level with them. You on the other hand, you got gloves, a face mask just in case, you're apologizing to anything you bump into. You did the research, this place went down from an unexpected attack, so there might be a corpse around somewhere (or lingering spirit). You give a short prayer to anything that looks like a corpse, regardless if you follow in those beliefs or now; you just want to be respectful to the dead. And yes, this place is haunted. Obviously. Now the important part, at one point or another 4 damned souls have clung to you. You dont notice at first, you barely feel that buzz that you're being watched. But the first unnatural thing to happen to you starts in a dream, a weirdly detailed dream. You're a housewife in the 50s. Cute summer dress, lovely home, nice street. But it feels too real, the patterns on the walls stay perfect no matter how long you stare at them, you can read lines from books you've never seen before, you look at your hands and they don't look distorted like they usually are in dreams. Then a man walks through your front door like he owns the place, you don't recognise him. At all. Yet he speaks to you in such a nice rough voice from his cigars, calling you such sweet things. Treating you like his wife. Then after what felt like hours from playing housewife you wake up, confused to hell and back. You brush it off until the next night, where you're sucked into another oddly very detailed dream, but its so different. From housewife in the 50s to maiden in the ye old times. The man is different, instead of tough, friendly bearded husband, you now have dark knight with skull markings. Helmet stays on at all times, but despite the rough and scary armour and vibe, he treats you like you're the finest silk, the sweetest flower, like you'll shatter if he so much as looks at you wrong. And after living through that you wake up once again incredibly confused. Is this what the backrooms feel like? You don't know, you don't want to know. Night rolls around once more which you dread and sure enough another weird dream with a new life. Now, at a farmland on the outskirts of an old styled town, you got chickens, goats, two cows, some ducks and a bulky husband with a silly mohawk. You don't know what year it is, what century you're at, at this point you're just rolling with it. Husband got a nice accent, Scottish you might think it is. He's absolutely spoiling you, treating you like a princess for no reason. Not like you're complaining. After that dream, you wake up contemplating that you might be losing your mind. But no, you're just being haunted by demons who like spending time with you through your dreams. Moving on. 4th weird dream, this feels further up into recent years, maybe 2000s. Cute husband, looks like a sweetheart, is a sweetheart. His skin is darker from the other ones, but not like you could tell with Sir Skull and Bones. He has a smooth voice, could probably sweet talk a bear. Time with him was almost too sweet. You swore his pupils nearly went heart shaped when he looks at you. And like the rest of them, you wake up confused. And thats just how your nights go, things in the day go.. strangely.
Oh and quick reminder, don't run from them.

To Make A Point
and in the first instance of "letting my thoughts run wild".....enjoy.
the gif is a major indicator of what is happening. and yeah. it's smut.
warnings: mentions of thigh riding, dirty talk, praise, pussy eating, fingering, nipple play, spitting to get you wet.
sprawled out before him in a barely there bra, the cups of it askew from the way Trent has moved the fabric out of the way to suck your nipples between those beautiful lips of his and lapped his tongue over them until they'd formed hard peaks. pleasure flows throughout you, rippling out from where his mouth connects with your breast.
your panties were removed what feels like hours ago and your exposed core leaves a wet mark upon his thigh with each movement.
"keep doing that baby and I'll think you're trying to ride it." he speaks his words onto your skin, his tongue continuing to lap against you as often as he can as he speaks before his teeth gently pull on it until you whimper at the light pinch.
"I really need you to eat my pussy Trent," you sound downright pathetic but it works. "please baby, show me how good you can make me feel."
his hands trace over your body, each time getting lower and lower as he begins to kiss his way from the valley of your breasts down your navel and to between your thighs. here, while his eyes are fixed on you, his fingers smooth up and down, parting your lips and pinning your clit between his first two fingers. the slow drag makes your cunt tighten and your clit throb against him.
"I dont think you're all that wet, you must not want me enough." he teases, thumb swiping over your clit; making you buck your hips as much as possible and arch your back. your breathing is board line pants now and you're not ashamed to consider actual begging for him to satisfy you.
"better use that mouth then." you suggest, eyes widening as he nods in agreement and purses his lips together. he spits quickly in a perfect aim, the hot liquid hitting it's mark on your slit. the two fingers that had enveloped your clit drag downwards, smearing his saliva over your pussy and mixes it with your own wetness.
"you like that, huh?" he asks, already knowing the answer as he feels your core contract in a tight hold as his fingers near your hole. "didn't think you'd be one for spitting." he chuckles, watching as he smears the mixed liquids over you.
"neither did I," your confession is quiet, the extra lubricant only adding layers of sensitivity to the lightness of Trent's touch. he stimulates the outside of your pussy in such a way, you don't know how much longer you'll be able to hold on before climaxing.
"look at you." he mockingly coos, "getting so overstimulated and I've barely touched you. trying to ride my thigh, rubbing this fucking beautiful pussy all over my leg just to get yourself off. so needy."
"I desperately need you."
"I can see that." he nods, pursing his lips again to blow cool air over you. you tighten up again and a soft moan sounds.
"please."
"please what?" he asks you, eyes locking onto yours as he waits for your answer.
"please lick my pussy Trent." you say in a tone that expresses more than your verbalised need does.
he doesn't reply, but while he keeps his gaze on your face, he presses his mouth to your cunt and begins to lap.

I understand lmk isn't a completely faithful adaptation (Also the murder monkey tone down cuz kiddos) but is it that bad of one? I got into LMK first and then started looking into jttw but haven't had time to sit down and read it just yet (school be like 🙃) I've seen some people say it's a pretty good one, and others seem to really dislike it. After your posts about lmk I'm curious about your opinion? Is it just the fandom or the show as a whole? Cuz I'm kinda with you on the buff, that's funky to me too, but curious if that's your only issue with it.
Ramble underneath!
For me personally, I don't have much of a problem with the show itself although there r some bits in the show I grew to dislike haha Especially when they downplayed DBK and SWK's friendship replacing DBK with Macaque KSKSKSKS Another thing is that I don't like the fandom much coz sometimes I just see takes that are so devoid of the characters from the og novel and they state it as fact KSKSKS. For ex. making SWK not being able to read is one irritating take. I really don't like it when ppl dumb SWK down because in the book he really is clever and conniving. Also, I'm gonna be honest here the amount of shadowpeach I see started to irritate me as well KSKSKASKLJKL Like a lot of my previous opinions about the LMK show and fandom changed ever since I started reading the book and looked more into Chinese culture jsjsjsjs I am no expert mind you and I have not finished reading the book yet, but I wish some ppl just did basic research you know KKSSKSD I know there r some ppl in the fandom who does put in the effort to learn more about Chinese culture and mythos but I feel like they r the minority here. I don't like to associate myself with the LMK fandom anymore but I'll still watch the show because I like the animation I guess HAHAHAHA.
Anyways read JTTW you won't regret it JSJSJSJ

honestly i think that internet lingo falls into a couple of really major pitfalls that i feel like people tend to just completely uncritically parrot bc they saw it used in what they saw as a funny way once. like for one AAVE is just sort of. constantly appropriated and turned into a joke in a way that causes AAVE to be seen as a non serious/real dialect of english which is so unspeakably racist i really don't what to even tell you if you haven't picked up how much that happens by now.
and also i think the other part is that it tends towards being incredibly ableist (shizoposting, delusional, trauma bonding, infodumping, narcissist) in a way that not only demeans the target of the ableism it also creates a false understanding of what words mean and make it all that much harder for people to recognize and take these things seriously.
like, suddenly, delusional becomes something that's just being in denial about reality, and narcissist becomes some kind of subhuman monster label, and gaslighting becomes indistinguishable from someone lying sometimes
