i talked abt this on Twitter but I have to take a realllyyyyy take a good hard look at people’s sonic humanizations sometimes bc people really just have such an uncknowledged colorism issue 😭😭😭 like why are people so comfortable making knuckles and shadow the darkest bc they “aggressive” or “stupid” but so against making sonic darker skinned bc he’s a “good guy and cool” LIKE QUICKLY TELL ME WHY 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

#like you have to be aware of how you portray certain things bc while yes black people come in many shades 😭#why are you making the ‘aggressive evil one’ darker but the good guy hero lighter 😭😭#Sonic arguably has so much black coding under his belt from the 90s/early 2000s 😭#like his original voice actor isn’t Jaleel white 😭#LIKE IDK like if you make certain characters dark skin why don’t you do the same with sonic. why does everyone avoid that 😭😭😭#TXT #people also avoid blantant coding in a lot of characters #bc I jump out of my skin when ppl try to insist the Babylon rogues aren’t arab 😭😭😭#like Babylon is a real place located in modern day Iraq 😭????#I’m just confused dawg 😭
