I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.
#personal#delete later#no patrick. âblack washingâ is not as harmful as white washing.#come on guys get it together#seeing people in my reblogs talk about âreverse racismâ and double standards is genuinely hypocrisy#say it with me: white washing is intrinsically tied to a historical and systematic erasure of poc figures literature and history.#it is an inherently destructive act that deplatforms underrepresented faces and voices#in favor of a light-skinned aesthetic hegemony#redesigning characters as poc is an act of dismantling symbols of whiteness in fiction in favor of diversification and reclamation#(note that i am talking about individual acts by individual artists as was the topic of this discourse. not on an industry-scale)#redesigning characters as poc is not tied to hundreds of years of systemic racism and abuse and power dynamics. that is a fact.#you are not replacing an underrepresented person with an oft-represented person. it is the opposite#if you feel threatened or upset or uncomfortable about this then sorry but you are not aware of how much more worse it is for poc#if representation is unequal then these acts cannot be equivalent. you can't point to an imbalanced scale and say they weigh the same#if you recognize that bipoc people are minorities then you should recognize that these two things are not the same#while i agree that âblack washingâ can lead to color-blind casting and writing the behavior here is on an individual level#a black artist drawing their favorite anime character as black because they feel a shared solidarity is not a threat to you#i mean. most anime characters are east asian and i as an east asian person certainly don't feel threatened or erased. neither should you.#there's much to be said about the politics of blackwashing (i don't even know if that's the right word for it)#but point standing. whitewashing is an inherently more destructive act. both through its history of maintaining power dynamics#and the simple fact that it's taking away from groups of people who have less to begin with#if you feel upset or uncomfortable about a fictional white character being redesigned as poc by an artist on twitter#i sincerely hope you're able to explore these feelings and find avenues to empathizing with poc who have had their figures#(both real and fictional) erased; buried; and replaced by white figures for hundreds of years#i sincerely hope you can understand the difference in motivations and connotations behind whitewashing and blackwashing#classic bixels âi'm not talking about this chat. i'm notâ (puts my media studies major to use in the tags and talks the fuck outta it)

the tragic part about loving any non-blue eyed dc character is that at some point they will inexplicably give them blue eyes.
#Blue eyed Cass haunts my nightmares#and Iâm pretty sure they made Linda parkâs eyes blue once too#whitewashing at its finest#and beyond that not everyone needs to look like Bruce and dick and Tim#Hal Jordan should have brown eyes it just feels right#cassandra cain#Linda park#dc#Dc Comics#batman#green lantern#batfamily#batfam#flashfam#batgirl#superfam#wonderfam

it's a pet peeve but I kinda hate when people draw Mabel with pin-straight hair. like, the simplicity of the artstyle leaves it kind of ambiguous how curly it is, but we also know what pin-straight hair looks like in the Gravity Falls artstyle because Pacifica exists. and Mabel's hair doesn't look anywhere near that straight. like c'mon. just draw her with some curls.
[ID from alt: a screenshot of Mabel and Pacifica for comparison. Mabel's hair fluffs out towards the ends, forming round shapes. Pacifica's hair is perfectly straight, with some of the straight strands even drawn individually. End ID.]
#gravity falls#mabel pines#obviously whitewashing isn't the word here because mabel's white; but the pines *are* jewish so like. it still feels sketchy#not accusing anyone of doing this out of intentional malice or anything btw#but i *am* taking a hard stance that people should look at the dang show and its artstyle more closely!

percy is middle eastern (specifically lebanese) argue with god
are headcanons about percys ethnicity still cool in 2023. idk im forcing you all to look at it anyway
no way in hell would the entire fucking country look at a little 12 year old white boy and be like "yeah I definitely believe that this child is a terrorist" like they did in TLT
described as looking 'Mediterranean', tans easily
not uncommon for ppl in the levant to have the dark hair/complexion + light eyes combo
also not uncommon for (non-muslim) swana ppl in the US to have vaguely western-sounding names. his last name was anglicized don't ask questions
fun nod to civilizations like the phoenicians being seafarers, poseidon's multiple connections to phoenicia in greek myth + historically being worshipped in the area
he would use the heinous insults that exist in arabic as casually as one would talk about the weather. he doesnt even actually know arabic he just knows how to say fuck you in all its iterations.
just realized how funny this hc would be in light of that comment he made in SoM shitting on hummus LMAOOOOOO
#percy jackson#pjo#hoo#feel like maybe there might be more things in the books that could be like......stretched to accommodate this hc but i cant think of anymor#anyway. its funny that i spent years just being like âidk what he is but hes not whiteâ when the answer was right in front of me all along#hes a little whitewashed though bless his heart <3#DISCLAIMER. i'm arab and this is me projecting. ALL POC PERCY HCS I LOVE YOU!!

things in genshinland crazy right now but what makes it funnier is the promo hsr just put out. Because Natlan is being critiqued for being white man Pharoah themed. Turns out, they saved all the melanin they had stored for the rest of their characters for all time and used it to create one (1) man with a skintone that is dark with slight cool undertones. From now on all hoyoverse characters will be paper white . What a sacrifice
#genshin#hsr#honkai starrail#sugilite#sugilite hsr#natlan#nooo sugilite dont end every natlan character like that đđ#so insane its like they want genshin to fail so they can persue other projects#lets hope they dont whitewash him..........#even though his skintone changed 3 times within one trailer

#MY BOYYYYYYY#OH HOW IVE MISSED YOUR FACE#and he isnt pasty like in episode 4#it might just be the lighting but its better than before#if marvel weren't cowards he'd be more brown#dreading seeing how they dog wanda if she turns up#anyway morph is against whitewashing#THANK YOU MORPH#forever cementing yourself as my favourite lil bean#and the audacity to do this in the same ep as mags but not have erik even perceive the image of his son? HELLO????#quicksilver#morph#pietro maximoff#x men 97#x men 97 spoilers#marvel#screenshots

The worst is when another latino dehumanizes us as if they aren't the same or similarly mix of ethnicities as if they aren't also fucked, as if literally MOST if not all of us have a history of dictatorships from different political alinements and YES being fucked by western imperialism but also our greedy "leaders" and shitty politics, as if the left and right or center actually did all they could or helped anyone, as if it couldn't happen to them next...you are the most depressing of them all if you're not with us and you are the ones that sound like gringos.
It's time you all get educated and you see beyond the decisions of our governments and the past problems we've had because of them, or BEYOND THE XENOPHOBIA and migration crisis, all of latinamerica is filled with people of all races like you and me that deserve empathy and not to get abandoned by you all.
Lo quieren en español? dale pues.
Lo peor es cuando otro latino nos deshumaniza, como si no fueran la misma o similar mezcla de etnias, como si sus paĂses no estuvieran jodidos tĂĄmbien, como si literalmente la mayorĂa de nosotros no tuviĂ©ramos una larga historia de dictaduras de distintas alineaciones polĂticas, o SĂ no estuvieramos jodidos por el imperialismo estadounidense/occidental pero tĂĄmbien nuestros "lĂderes" avaros y polĂticos de mierda, como si nuestras izquierdas o derechas o centros de verdad estuvieran haciendo todo lo que podrĂan o ayudaran de verdad, como si no les pudiera pasar a ustedes despuĂ©s... la falta de apoyo de uds son de lad que mĂĄs me deprime, y son uds los que suenan como gringos.
Es momento de que se eduquen y vean mĂĄs allĂĄ de las decisiones pasadas de los gobiernos o la historia de problemas que hemos tenido por ellos, O LA XENOFOBIA y crisis migratoria, toda latinoamĂ©rica estĂĄ llena de gente como tĂș y yo de todas las razas que merecen empatĂa y que no se les abandone.
#venezuela#cuba#nicaragua#latinamerica#latinoamerica#most of you arent educated enough on the rest of countries if you are you only look for the things you want to hear so you can apply them#to your own view of ur politics/country#and that is very selfish from people who are not like us it can almost seem understandable but between us??? its depressing#and turning it into a matter of white vs non white latinos is reductionist bc the ones most affected by our dictatorships are still#brown and black latinos and if u had eyes youd see that#anyway just another day of making dumb posts#this also applies to the way you treat some latinos like ...when u all call argentinians nazis/whitewash them

tanned to a crisp
#tf2#team fortress 2#tf2 fanart#sniper tf2#my art#something ive noticed in a lot of fanart is a lot of people make the mercs quite pale#and its always bothered me because the lightest tone is scoutâs highlights#and even then its not THAT pale#so i hope to see more fanart that doesnt wash them all out . because it doesnt make sense at all#and sniper bothers me most out of them (aside from whitewashing demo) because this man has spent most of his adult life in the outback#he would be tan as FUCK#also spyâs model has a very nice darker olive skintone and i see so many people make her SCARY white

TWST anniversary commercials over the years be like
1st anni: EVERYONE IS HERE!! IN EVENT OUTFITS!! Grim interacting with everyone representing how far we have come!!
2nd anni: Everyone is still here!! But with slightly worse animation...
3rd anni: Everyone is- No, it's only the third years and the animation has gotten even more even more lazy and worse if that's even possible
4th anni: Fuck you you're not getting any animated bits this year, have a slideshow with pre-existing images from the game AND new dorm leaders art I guess (you like OTHER characters that aren't the dorm leaders??? why would you?? sucks to be you)
#twisted wonderland#twst anniversary#twst shitpost#I wasn't even expecting much after the disappointment that the 3rd anni commercial was but THE AFTER EFFECTS SLIDE SHOW đ#plast an otomate logo in it and boom its exactly like any generic otome game opening#crazy how they could have picked any better card but they used leona's whitewashed masterchef groovy too uuh#and this is displex we are talking about its not like they DONT have money for a 1-minute anime commercial#but every year their animated CMs have gotten worse and more lazy like remember when halloween CMs cared to show EVERYONE...#and now its just. the three main SSR boys

the way some white people don't understand terms that people have been using for ages can be so so infuriating
#coding =/= stereotyping or profiling.....#blackface =/= a black or brown person interpreting a traditionally pale character w darker skin#the bastardizing of the term whitewashing#its so dumb and annoying#just loud about words you have no idea how to use#the blackface one always gets me because how could u be so far off#especially when google is free!!!!#kae.txt#i say ages but i mean terms that are like not super recent if i needed to clarify
