kinda related to isai's post (i didn't want to be annoying in the tags that's why i'm making another post) but if you see a whitewashed post not reblogging it it's not enough, sometimes a creator genuinely does not know that they're whitewashing/colorwashing (original source extremely desaturated, the colors of their screen are different/unbalanced etc) and if no one points it out, if no one tells them hey i think this is looking a bit pale/yellow/red, how are they supposed to know and fix the mistake. not saying go an attack them but especially if they're a mutual you can send a dm telling them or a simple ask. basically ignoring the issue or being vague about it it's not gonna make it go away

#so many times i've edited something extremely desaturated i'm still afraid i'm whitewashing #but i have no clue because no one tells me shit #if a pal that i talk to is online i'll send them the edit asking them but otherwise i simply have no way of knowing #how am i supposed to fix something i don't know i'm doing wrong even if i'm trying my best to not do it #of course it depends a lot on the person and being afraid they're going to react badly #but if they get defensive over it then that's their issue #but yeah this is me basically saying please tell me if something i make looks whitewashed because that's the last thing i want to do #b.txt
